Something to ponder -
Which is more sinful -
1. fornication that leads to single parent households
2. a loving marriage where the couples make the “responsible” choice of not bringing children into the world
Well, based on my reading of the Bible ( I assume that’s the standard you want this discussion to be based on ):
The Bible does not specifically mention single parent households as sins.
However, it does condemn fornication, which is pre-marital or extramarital sex (regardless of whether or not a pregnancy results).
The Bible considers sex outside of marriage to be sinful (1 Corinthians 6:18, Hebrews 13:4).
On the other hand, I have not read the Bible outright condemning couples choosing not to have children within a loving marriage.
The decision to have children is a personal choice that should be made within the context of a committed relationship. However, the Bible does encourage couples to have children (Psalm 127:3-5). ENCOURAGING is NOT COERCING.
