The Bible says that before we were formed in the womb, He knew us. The Bible doesn't talk about birth control. The only things we can infer from the Bible are from the verses that talk about children being a blessing and the story about the man who married his dead brother's wife so that she could have a son to get his father's inheritance and then refused to father a child with her, which was in direct disobedience to the law God set for the Israelites only. Also, I was referring to the person who said that having children was not a reflection of spirituality. It certainly may be God's will for one person to not have children, while it may be God's will for someone else to have 19. Nonbelievers procreate all the time, but a person who is seeking to follow God's will in their lives will be asking Him for wisdom whether He wants them to be done, to adopt, or to be open to having more biological children. God is NOT going to have the same plans of a large family for everyone.

I don’t believe that at all. Not everyone is cut out to have kids, let alone 19. I admire people who are willing to admit that parenthood is not for them and follow through by not procreating. There are too many children born into horrific situations, to people not fit to be parents. If God had a hand in that, he’s got some explaining to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-50035982542494225982021-02-02T09:31:35.483-06:002021-02-02T09:31:35.483-06:006:21, it's more a matter of having an attitude...6:21, it's more a matter of having an attitude of being willing to do whatever God wants you to do, which is not determined by outside voices. It's determined by prayer and waiting for the Holy Spirit to guide you in decision making. Something that even a lot of Christians have trouble doing because we want our own way more than God's way sometimes.

Sonograms weren't as reliable then, but the technician did identify my baby's gender. We didn't tell anyone else but kept it private, which is something we as the parents shared just between the two of us. We didn't settle on a name until he was born, although we had a couple picked out ahead of time. I think the big difference now is that the reveals in TV land is reaching the same level of ceremony as the courting and engagement spectacles.
