Rev. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, says it's "an absolute revolt against God's design" if husbands and wives purposely avoid bearing children.
On his Web site and other articles and interviews, Mohler argues that "marriage, sex and children are part of one package" and that "to deny any part of this wholeness is to reject God's intention in creation and his mandate revealed in the Bible."
In a CNN interview, the Baptist leader added, “We grow up by having children. Without that responsibility, we have a generation of perpetual adolescents just growing old."
Look
This is number 400
You click on this thread. You chose to read his posts, so how is he imposing anything on you??????
Do you mean the way he denigrates people who don't believe in his opinion?
Is it worth it?
It appears you have had some bad experience(s)
with "religion" Not all preachers are bad
I know a few good ones.
I know some great preachers.
It sounds like we have a lot in common. Our second little guy wasn't planned, but we were not trying to prevent, but we lost him, much to our sorrow as well.
Had one only child for 13 years, never was able to get pregnant again, until the Lord graciously and surprisingly allowed me to deliver a big baby boy at age 42!
So now I am a stay at home mome of a toddler (I write for a public relations company but only work about 15 hours a week and that from home) and a 14 year old.
14 year old is in school this year, but we did homeschool previous to this year.
Once I got it straight that the Bible says I am to be a keeper at home that the Word of God be not blasphemed, I became a keeper at home. :)
Oh please, he does not.
Why are you judging him?
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Good night
Did you see the words "purposely avoid"?
Of course, but Mohler specifically referred to married couples who purposely avoid bearing children. I don't happen to agree with him (that it's a sin), but that's what he said.
Think about it this way sir.
approx 3 hundred years ago...a young couple got married, had sex and had a baby.. their baby had a baby... on and on down the line...you were born.
Wouldnt you feel a bit guilty to just clog up your family tree ? honestly ?
You must have missed: Rev. R. Albert Mohler, Jr. says it's "an absolute revolt against God's design" if husbands and wives purposely avoid bearing children.

Good words to live by. Wouldn't it be nice if the so-called reverend did.
Is this worse than trying to split up Israel?
You need ask Pat Robertson that question. :>)
It's above my pay grade
Ya , and I'm 54 LOL
Afraid of me, are you; dear? ;^)
