However it does say that Mary will be considered blessed, and it does say that those who choose not to have children will also be considered blessed.

It looks like you are having to carry this thread debate on your own for your side, so I am asking this not to pick on you but to ask for a clarification. You say Scripture says that those who choose to not have children will also be considered blessed. Just where exactly does it say this?

Thanks, I don’t mind carrying the load. I have some time, and I appreciate the consideration.

St. Paul touches on this in both Ephesians and Corinthians.

“Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.”

“I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.”

1 Cor 7:1-2,7
