Yeah, I'm not even going to continue arguing with you at this point. You're taking what was indentured servitude for 7 years as a way to pay debts and equating it with American slavery, where slave masters literally cut parts of the Bible out so slaves wouldn't know the truth.

You're doing the exact same thing Satan does in the Bible, this is nothing new. Jesus says He never knew people in that passage, because they used His name for their own benefit and not for His glory. People like prosperity gospel leaders who have their own congregation-paid private jet for no reason. God made it very simple for us to be saved. All people need to do is accept the free gift of salvation from Jesus, whom died a horrific, barbaric death despite doing no wrong so that we may be saved. God gives us free will to choose what we will do. If we do not wish to be with God, He honors that.

I've laid out 3 other verses in a separate reply that says the same thing that is said in Jeremiah. Job mentions us as being formed by God in the womb and he was no prophet. I don't know why you're so angry, but what you're stating is "out of context" is incorrect.

That's like saying a all-knowing God would know which people were going to be slaves all their lives 150 years ago, so He didn't put much effort into creating them. Every life has value to God, whether they are birthed or not.

"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb." - Psalm 139:13

"Thus says the Lord who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen." Isaiah 44:2

"Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?" Job 31:15

The Wikipedia article conveniently leaves these out. It's very clear that God knows us before we ever existed.

Yes, we do. We have hundreds of charities that are dedicated to helping said children. My favorite right now is Let Them Live. The organization works with the mother to provide food, clothing, furniture, and everything else a mother would need to take care of the baby. They also provide other money and counseling for the mother as well. They regularly check in with the women and some of the mothers even end up working in the charity to help others. https://letthemlive.org/

I just recently found out about the Christian Alliance For Orphans who work on helping families foster and adopt orphans. They are becoming a massive network of churches dedicated to helping orphaned children. https://cafo.org/

Lmao you live in a bubble, bud. Most people that are moving here are families who left due to increased cost of living from shitty policies made by democrat governors.
