[philman_36]

Does not the Bible admonish men to "not spill their seed"?
Don' take it out of context. A man didn't impregnate his wife. The child would be a forefather in the line of David and thus of Christ. If no child was born to this woman then that line never would have been.

Lays it out well...TAMAR, FOREMOTHER OF DAVID

The moral of the story:

A man & women should marry until death, in order to raise children of that marriage together. Be faithful, so that parentage & family values are established.

I believe we can attest that biological fathers and mothers are naturally driven to treasure & protect their own offspring. It helps if they know with certainty who those children might be.

It is terrifying to note the increase in child abuse, child abductions and murders by ‘extended’ family members. Might this be the result of ‘mixed up’ maternal and paternal proxies? i.e. New York adoptive parents-Steinbergs, Kyron Horman, Caylee Anthony et.al.
