Jeremiah 1:5 — 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you' refers to God's plan for Jeremiah, not pre-conception literal existence

Why Every Pro-Choice Argument Fails 00:40:35 – 00:41:05

Q&A — question about whether life begins even before conception, citing God's foreknowledge in Jeremiah 1:5

Mike interprets Jeremiah 1:5 ('Before I formed you in the womb I knew you') as referring to God's plan and purpose for Jeremiah's life, not to Jeremiah's literal pre-conception existence. God goes on to say he appointed Jeremiah as His mouthpiece to the nations — this is about God's sovereign agenda, not a claim that Jeremiah existed before being conceived. Taking it as evidence of literal pre-existence would create a logical contradiction.
