Bible Question: 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, |
Bible Answer: 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 |
