Bible Question: Hi everyone...i've been approached by some evangelists who is trying to convince me that the act of having children is a sin...they state that god made whole concious humans (adam and eve) not babies and when a man impregnate a woman they both commit a sin..but the child itself is not a sin...they support their argument by stating that god is fair and it would not be fair to make human beings who are not concious (babies) and vulnerable and their not responsible for their actions and who they love..they stated that children,family love is therefore forced..Could i have some response to this anyone..its new to me..dont know how to respond to it really..thanks alot. |
Bible Answer: Hello, Pamtas. I missed your question of a few months ago and just now came across it. I've been on this forum a long time and have been exposed to some truly nutty ideas, but the idea espoused by your "evangelist" wins a blue ribbon! To assert that conception is a sin is placing God Himself in the role of a sinner! If you don't think this is true, read Matthew 1:18. Your "evangelist" is nothing less than an unvarnished crackpot, a false teacher of the first water. Avoid him and others of his stripe as you would a deadly plague. --Hank |
