I don't have to even read the article to know this is selfish (even though claimed not to be) and not biblical; we have gone from being OK with picking and choosing when to have children by adopting the birth control concept, to killing our own flesh and blood out right, and now we say n our society that we don't need children at all???!!!
When did we get to this point?, How will this help us or society?
This makes me quite angry because even Christians are seeming OK with this idea! Jesus tells us as Christians to be set apart:
1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
This should include anything the world says that is acceptable and right for they do not love the things of God!
Philippians 2:21
For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
Jesus calls children a blessing and a gift; to say no to children purposely is saying no to God's blessings.
When we do things without prayer or seeking the Lord's will, it IS selfish!!!
Philippians 2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
No matter how you look at it, it is a big concern on society as a whole; Who will carry on our family name?, What are we to gain ultimately from excluding children? What happens to the family picture and traditions?
How many years down the line will it come to when we finally take a step back and realize our mistakes?
Just to keep in mind having fertility problems has nothing to do with this issue as this is a conscience effort to keep children out of your life whereas having fertility issues is a painful subject because of the lack of children, but wanting them! I have come to realize this pain in some respect because I seemed to always was able to conceive before and when we tried for our little boy angel, I found it not so easy and like I had taken my fertility for granted. I felt the disappointment and long waiting times and sadness of it not working over and over so I can somewhat understand, but just to say no all together for no apparent reason than to fulfill some desire you have of being able to do what ever you want with out distraction or consequence or responsibility, well I will call it: THAT'S SELFISH!!!!
If the shoe fits, so to speak. I am calling it like it is because it is and especially for a child of God who belongs to God should read their bible a little more about all the verses that call us to be mothers and better wives and how to instruct our children and being a servant and selfless...OK I am done, but not about my conviction in this area, just ranting!
I hope we can look a little closer at the repercussions of actions that may affect our families and history and even our relationship with our Father, God!
1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
