Is Having Many Children Irresponsible?

The mantra today is that to have more than one child is destructive to the earth itself. Therefore, if one has more than one child, much less many children, then one has sinned against extremist environmental postmodern liberal theology/philosophy. It is no suprise that such persons hate the Bible because, from the beginning, all of creation is blessed to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Even more so, God follows up on this commanded after the Genesis Flood. What then shall we make of this as Christians?

The Bible clearly sees children as a blessing from the Lord, and blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them! Amen! The reality is that restricting procreation not only mocks the Living God who has decreed this blessing, but it also creates a social and economic meltdown. For example, the native European population is dying off as the aged increase while the youth decrease. As time goes on, there are not enough workers to support the economy itself, and, as the need for geriatric care exceeds population growth, the elderly are simply discarded and euthanized. Ironically, many of the same liberals that espouse such theology/philosophy are the same ones that are now being euthanized. This liberaly theology literally self-destructs and implodes in on itself.

Regarding starvation and such, the reality is that there is more than enough provision to feed the hungry. It's the oppressive regimes that prevent the food stuffs from reaching the people. At the same time, those under false religious systems will not eat what is available. Watching people starve to death while cows roam the streets is mind-boggling, yet anti-Biblical worldviews always lead to disaster.

In China, where infantificide and abortion is the rule of the land, they are already reaping the fruit of the godless murder of femal babies especially, for there are far more men that women. This creates obvious problems with social structure and future procreation.

Ultimately, if God decrees more children, as He has blessed in Scripture, then, as we look to Him, He will always provide for us as we have need in accordance with His will.

Therefore, let us celebrate the gift of children, and, by all means: Be Fruit and Multiply and Fill the Earth! Amen!
