1 | Children are God's , not man's | Bible general Archive 2 | uh-oh | 147812 | ||
A friend has asked me about becoming an egg donor. I seem to remember that the Bible tells us that we are not to give our children to the heathen, but now I can't find that particular verse in my concordance to back up my understanding that this is a dangerous course of action. Can someone help me with this? There is so much that the Word had to saytht is pertinent,but this is a key verse. thaks, | ||||||

Uh-oh : Emmaus has responded with grace and wisdom: please ponder long and hard on what he has generously given you. In my home state of Arkansas the chicken business is big. Thousands of hens are maintained in huge houses for the purpose of laying eggs. In a sense I suppose you could call them egg donors. But you are not a chicken. You are a human being created in the image of God (Gen 1:27). Use your body and your sacred procreative gifts, which are really not your own: they belong to God (1 Cor. 6:19), in accordance with God's design. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture is clear: God instituted marriage between and man and a woman, commanded them to become one flesh, to be fruitful and multiply, and His word even contains instructions to parents on how to bring up their children. God has left no doubt whatever about what His will is regarding marriage and families. There is no evidence, not an iota, that it includes being an egg donor. In a word: Don't! --Hank | ||||||

Thanks for all your answers. This was exacly what I was trying to express to my young friend. I will use all the bible verses quoted by all of you. But I remember when my son was young I prayed a particular vese in regard to educating him in specific, Godly ways, not allowing the ungodly to educate him, Lionheart, I appreciate your point but disagree, the human egg does become human as soon as it is fertilized therefore the human egg donor is then a biological parent, bearing an incredible amount of responsibility for the welfare of her child. God bless you all for your caring responses. uh-oh | ||||||
