Shalom dka, This place sounds like it needs to be reminded of John 8:10 (as the other poster pointed out). God is in the business of forgiveness. If this girl has rectified the situation that got her in this predicament (i.e., she is no longer with the boy and will either raise the child on her own or adopt it out, or they are planning marriage), she has nothing to apologize to the "church" for. This situation is between her heavenly Father, her earthly parents and the baby's father (and his parents if underage) - once again, not the church's!!! It appears from your post that we are talking about some young girls (in their teens), I believe the passages in 1 Cor. sounds more like they are dealing with adults - these two catagories of people need to be dealt with differently in just about all aspects of life. Just my 2cents worth :o) |

Justme, shalom I read your note but I stand firm that youth need to be treated differntly from adults. It's a proven medical fact that the frontal lob which manages decisions, discerns right and wrong, etc. is not fully developed till after the 21st year in a person. Approaching our youth in the same way you would approach a 35 year old in any given situation just won't work. Being born again or saved or whatever you want to call it does NOT speed up the growth of the brain. I don't particularily disagree with the approach concerning an adult in that state of distress but I don't believe it is what is called for where youths are concerned. |
