I haven't really looked into things that deeply, lately. But these things and topics remain necessary. These things are NOT meant for political discourse (as some believe) but are actually meant for cases of reality. Yes, even events in history that proved brutal to the vulnerable and innocent should be considered.
But there ARE some things that Christians (lets just say BIBLE BELIEVERS....because some people believe that "the pope" who now considers "sexual impurity relationships" as fair game....but doesn't consider scripture) should consider.
1. Mary didn't "choose." Plain and simple. Enough said. Move on. She was single and in a difficult situation. The only choice she had.....was life....and HE eventually gave his life for all man-kind.......so be KIND.....human....because HE already gave it all.
2. Joseph of the bible wasn't "a brute"..... an abusive war-lord of a man. Get over it. There are men out there who DON'T listen to "God's plan"..... no, he HEARD from God to get out of Israel.....move to Egypt. He KNEW the measures of safety necessary under wicked king Herod.
3. Mary and Joseph were not "fornicators"..... they didn't play the fiddle with sexual impurity. Well, as far as we know, they wouldn't cater to anything outside of the commandments as Mary was a "companion" and "cousin" to Elizabeth. If the bible says Elizabeth and Zacharias kept commandments....., John the Baptist PREACHED repentance. Forget it fools (those who claim Christianity, but do not repent). They knew their place and where their legs have been. Yes, temptations are all around the corner....any celeb-look alike would exist.....so be it....even in those days. (Nothing new under the sun). King David himself wasn't exempt....so why do you (who play the fiddle) believe you are exempt? Cousins know things. Mordechai and Esther are cousins....as are Elizabeth and Mary (one is OLDER and WISER than the other in both situations).
4. Now lets go back to old-testament. Even Ruth B. G. would accompany understanding of this nature. Maternity ward problems happen. Miscarriages (common pre 8 weeks at highest rate). Before 13 weeks along (probable in certain situations). Modern day mishaps (well up to 22 weeks it is considered a miscarriage, not a still-born, because that is modern day limitation). If even ancient people knew women miscarry, how are we modern humans suddenly "smarter." Are not people born the same way today?
5. Trafficking, Molestation, Rape, Domestic violence (woman no longer capable of decisions) etc. Yes. These DO exist......sadly ER doctors will tell these things. If a woman looses a pregnancy in these sad situations. SHE isn't guilty of the crimes..... some cases it is BETTER to have the child and give up for adoption, in other cases it is better to completely rescue the woman from "the addiction" (trafficking/prostitution) and get her to sense reality about the damage she does to her self, her future generations, and her eternal future (mess arounder's do not inherit the kingdom. Period). Basically catering to the "sugar baby" and his cries will NOT fix situations at hand.
6. Face features. Yes they begin developing in the womb at 6 weeks. Go figure. Anyone who says my body my choice must not understand that that woman's body didn't actually design the "face features" of that which is in her womb.....that same face....that exists on a 110 year old WOMAN.....years from now? same with ancestry issues...blood-line....but wait...THAT begins at conception! Keep the Water CLEAN folks! If you really CARE about humanity! Blood bought??? wait a minute.....you are blood related to so and so! yes.....um cousins are developed in the same way (go back and re-read bible).
7. Still-borns. Yes, sadly these types of situations do occur. What about a pre-existing condition that was previous known (a down syndrome child)? Well, does this MEAN that everytime a Down Syndrome child exists in a womb.....it "needs" to become a still-born? Are some idiots born on a Saturday or a Tuesday. Better pick Tuesday's with Morrie. Sometimes the kindest people you will ever meet, never entered a college campus, because they lacked the "proper sense" of reason...but had the proper sense of judgment of others.
8. If a still-born does occur. Which should be SUPPER RARE in a healthy pregnancy..... healthy environment. No stress added. Parents have full rights to "choose DNR".....as needed. Meaning no bells and whistles at delivery. (This could occur in pregnancies with multiples.....). No real parent would WANT a still-born at delivery. Absurd. The political games are no gain for anyone in the end. I can and do understand how still-borns could occur in a poverty situation.....or a # 5 situation. But these shouldn't be "wanted" situations. JESUS and his redemption should be ultimately WANTED....because ETERNAL life has full value under the son.....
These issues should NOT promote the idea that EVERY woman can diligently and successfully raise 10+ children.....not in the slightest, as even biblical woman didn't all go through those types of things (aka Ruth....simply had Obed....which led to Jesse....not 10+ children of her own), rather it is something to consider the Delicate balance of humanity. our temporary life on earth..... is just that, temporary. The gospel is forever.
