I found these verses using the ones you first poisted, and it seems that we forgot someone when we say that embryos aren't alive, or human.
i.e.:
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before
thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained
thee a prophet unto the nations. Jer.1:5
Psa 71:5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth.
Psa 71:6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be] continually of thee.
Psa 22:9 But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope
[when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
Psa 22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother's
belly.
Isa 46:3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel,
which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
Isa 46:4 And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs will I carry
[you]: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].
From conception to old age, He is our God, He knows us and lifts us up.
How can anyone say we aren't human?
Isa 49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath
called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
Isa 49:5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb [to be] his servant,………..
He's formed us for a specific purpose.
Our life plan is laid out while we are in our mothers belly.
You don't make plans for a lump of 'meat'.
Speaking of John the baptist:
Luk 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go
before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Paul, speaking of his calling to the work of Christ, said:
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and
called [me] by his grace,
Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen;
immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Our founding fathers, in apostolic times, didn't have a problem understanding that life begins before conception, it begins in God's mind, not after birth.
Many have stated that God called them from the womb.
How do you call an embrionic mass to work?
In Gods eyes, it is what He planned it to be already.Alive.
