This scenario series today is taken from a real situation. I know of a person actually going through this. So lets begin!
You are married to a Christian woman. She is loving and humbly submits to you as a husband. Rarely is any evil spoken to you nor does your wife speak evil of others. She walks giving all the time and is a self-sacrificing Christian.
Your wife has a brother who has been trying to have a child for many years. Time after time he has failed. He is at his whits end. Your wife has prayed for him and done what she can to help her brother. Because of the love your wife has shown, she brings to you a request. She desires to be artificially inseminated and carry her brother's child so he may have a baby. She is acting self sacrificing so her brother can rejoice. Is this sin? Is it sin for your wife to carry another man's child? Would you say yes to your wife's request? If you're a friend, is there any sin that you should confront? Or should you support such an effort? What would you do as a Christian?

Nope no sin at all. We almost did this for another couple. But they are doing invetro. It would be hard not to grow attached, but what a picture of service to sacrfice your body for another! Whew!
ReplyDeleteI agree, but I am not a woman, so I cannot imagine what that would feel like. Now I will respond to your comment above. Thanks for the comment bro

My take on this, I don't agree with carrying another mans baby, in Genesis Sara took it upon her self instead of waiting on God and went to Abram & asked him to go into her maid servant Hagar to bare a son for her because she was unable to bare children, in the end Sarah turned against Hagar, so Abram sent her & Ismael away,so now the son that she wanted and her maid servant were gone, technically you are the mother of that child, if you birth a child for another couple, that baby came from your womb, blood, organs everyhthing is growing from you and passing to this unborn baby, I can't see that a connection won't happen here. Children should be conceived the way God intended, I really am sorry but if a couple can't have children obviously God is not allowing it for a reason, he opens wombs and closes wombs, my suggestion is pray Gods will be done, otherwise God has another plan. But that is wonderful that a woman would do such a wonderful blessing, but I would rethink that very hard. How about adoption, there are so many mothers aborting and giving there babies away, taking on this gift would be a bigger blessing in my oppion.

Sis Prov,
ReplyDeleteYou said "I believe babies should be conceived the way God intended". So my wife and I can't use invetro?
Sis Prov,
ReplyDeleteI would like to know what are your thoughts on the way God intended children to be born? I was a C-section baby and baby's back then were born naturally with no epidural. So now that we have have these things, what is the way God intended? Has that changed? I am asking to see there is any sin in a way child is born? Thanks for the comments
