If someone is swayed into not having children based on this book then they probably had no business having children in the first place. It's not like the Human race is in any danger of becoming extinct. I for one would prefer quality people over quantity. I believe that when people have babies just because it is the thing that society, or religion, has told them to do then they are being selfish. I do happen to believe that children are a blessing from God I just also believe that far too often the parents aren't a blessing to the children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19219922.post-81764540794136728792007-08-30T09:44:00.000-04:002007-08-30T09:44:00.000-04:00Dear anonymous,The reason I use comment moderation...Dear anonymous,<BR/><BR/>The reason I use comment moderation is to screen out profane language or personal attacks (which, sadly, sometimes appear in comments I receive). I have decided, however, to post your comments.<BR/><BR/>If I could discern the kernel of a legitimate question in your posts, it would be something like, "What is the legitimacy of encouraging people to marry, establish Christian homes, and raise godly children?" This should spring from a desire to obey scripture (Genesis 1:28; Psalms 127-128) and to magnify God's glory (not mine or my church's). The God of the Bible is pretty jealous of his glory. In Isaiah 48:11 he says, "I will not yield my glory to another."<BR/><BR/>Am I a hypocrite? Sadly, sometimes I confess I do act hypocritically. I am a sinner. I fall short of God's standards for righteousness on a daily basis. But God has graciously given me hope in Christ, and I am trusting him to make me day by day more like Christ. Your comments remind me of a constant need to be humble, and for that I am thankful.<BR/><BR/>JTRJeffrey T.
