On the sixth day of creation God made created man and woman and told them

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea(Genesis 1:28)

After God stopped the rains and the water finally receded. God told Noah to leave the ark and then told him,

Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth." (Genesis 8:17)

There is no where in the scriptures, not in the OT or the NT where God ever rescinded that command. Christians should all be having as many children as they can physically have. As far as financially being able to afford them, well have faith in God.

Unbelieving Christians have been aborting their children by the millions the last 30 years. They have also been using of birth control methods to limit the number of children they have. Christians should have by now outnumbered them by 2-1 in the population. Unfortunately Christians have been no better then the secular world. They may not be aborting their children, but they do use birth control. Could you imagine how things would be differently politically if only Christians practiced more faith in God?.

When the apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith, He told them,

Luk 17:6 So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.(Luke 17:6)

Amreican Christians have not been practicing very strong faith and it shows in their children. Who have not been born.

Oh, yes, and the Bible says not to worry where the food is going to come from; God will provide it the way he provides it for even the sparrows, bla, bla, bla.

The end result is that you have millions of children starving to death all over the world. But (self-styled) "true" Christians, it seems, would rather have starving children than no children. How pathetic.

He *blessed* them - the words are not that He “commanded” them.
