Living in sin prevents a child's blessing?
Is it true Children of fornicating parents arent blessed?
Q: I was told living in sin/ I wouldn’t be blessed, and I’d stop my child from receiving blessings too… but isnt a child a blessing???
People who aren’t married have multiple kids.. so I don’t understand how God could stop them or others from being blessed?? If he’s blessing them with children. Please explain.
A: You are confusing two things as if its the same.
Fornicating is a sin. Having a child outside of marriage is considered a natural consequence, because sex by design is to result in babies. Children are meant to be a gift & blessing by God for those inside a marriage (to her & the husband). Having a child [without that boundary for blessing (by being outside God's design)], brings profound and even more & far-reaching implications.
It results in broken homes, leading to children growing up in two separate households.
One household might teach the child about God, while the other may encourage following worldly desires. This creates conflicting household rules and morals, causing confusion and instability for the child.
The unsaved spouse wildin' out living flagrantly in sin ends up teaching wickedness to their child [as if its the right path; seen by example].
Parents who don't get along often use the child as a pawn to retaliate against each other, leading to significant psychological damage. One parent might badmouth the other or limit their time with the child, fostering resentment and mistrust. In many cases, the father may not be present at all, causing deep hurt and trauma that many adults struggle to overcome even in their old age.
Having a child out of [a godly] wedlock harms the child spiritually and leads them away from righteousness. Including Stress, anxiety, acting out, [and if around bad influence and sinful friends [from divorced or fornicating homes] encourage them to manipulatively playing parents to get what they want]. Two selfish sinful adults fornicating thus harms the child (concieved in it) greatly and in many ways.
A woman, despite her best efforts, cannot fully teach a boy how to be a man, resulting in many young men today exhibiting feminine traits due to the lack of a strong male role model. Similarly, daughters often grow up with trust issues toward men, carrying their "daddy issues" into their future relationships.
Additional examples include:
- Financial instability: Single parents often face economic hardships, which can lead to stress and limited opportunities for the child. Many single moms do not get child support and those who do don't get enough to provide well.
- Emotional neglect: The single parent might be overwhelmed, leading to less emotional availability and support for the child.
- Behavioral problems: Children from broken homes are statistically more likely to exhibit behavioral issues and struggle academically.
While having a child in your life can bring some of what appears to be a blessing, doing so outside the framework of a godly marriage will lead to lifelong implications for all involved.
=============================
God is in control and reigns soverign. You cant recieve blessings unless it comes from Him. Man doesnt dictate to Him or try to force Him to give you what you want. Lol. It doesnt work the way you stated. You as a sinner and as his creation cant demand from God nor sit in judgment over him.
=============================
The Bible does talks about curses. It can be broken; through salvation and living rightly, but not unless both parents are saved and the child gets lead to the Lord. This is difficult to accomplish since you are not in control of salvation. God is. Consider this typical scenario: it might be 15 years before the unsaved father comes to Christ. By then the child has already followed in his fathers wicked footsteps into a life of sin. It might be almost impossible for the child/children to be saved and for you two to be married. The sin loving child would rebel against both of your attempts to lead him in righteousness [daily training up a child in the Lord] because he is [in deep] in his love for wickedness. This is why godly marriage needs to be sought after from the beginning when looking to date or court. Never get involved with an unsaved man. A godly man will use self control and wait until the marriage night before pursing sex with you.
Children are a gift from God to those married and in Christ. And true, God can turn any situation around and make it beautiful, but as noted it has a higher statistic to not happen. So dont get involved with anyone who isnt of the mindset to remain pure till marriage and lives that out with integrity. If he breaks that to pursue you sinfully into cohercing you into sex, flee him and find someone else.
The truth is that your sins do impact future generations that is the weight that sin carries. The sins that you are unable to break free from can be passed down to your kids as generational problems. Someone down the line has to be born again to break free from this cycle of sin.
Adam and Eve chose to eat the fruit of good and evil at the beginning of time and every generation since has paid the price. This is a prime example of how sin works.
If a person is living in sin they are leading their children into wickedness as they see it from the parent and family. This is a reason God eliminated entire nations. The children would be just like the parents. The flood also ended that for a time.
Matthew 18:6
“but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung around his neck and he be drowned in the depths of the sea."
The design or blueprint is to not live in sin and not lead others to sin. Esp not teaching children to sin.
Luke 17:1-2 "Now Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that temptations to sin will come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.”
The wicked teach wickedness instead of righteousness, (which we as image bearers of God are to live in).
His ways are best....sinners trying to justify sin and blame God [who is sinless and rightly just] for being unfair is not repentant attitude. It is a wicked way of thinking. He made us and had a design for us, in sin people go their own way. God knows how we will best thrive, and it is in his design for us which we need so turn and go that way. It is clearly shown in His Word. Remember, "God will not be mocked" and "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"...He is Holy. We are to be holy too.
It appears based on your surprised reaction (to that person who spoke truth to you), that you didnt actually know the ways of righteousness.
You must've not been raised in Christ (& in a godly home), or are holding an idolatrous belief about God that isnt biblical, [often revealed by those perpetually living in sin (fornicating) etc] to which also now your child sees and thinks is normal right behavior. The statement you made shows a typical mindset of those raised in wicked liberal feminism societies which has brainwashed their mindsets to embrace wicked worldviews. We are to live in biblical righteousness in the Christian worldview. Now you know differently. And it is good you now know 😊. God has revealed this to you today through Christians who genuinely care about you. They have revealed truth to you. Now you need to humbly recieve it in agreeance.
Today you can stop sinning & turn to follow the righteius path. Stop justifying your wicked ways, and turn from any wicked mindset. Get right with God. Once you do you can know & obey Scripture, [and also go forth and only seek after a truly godly man to marry].
There is forgiveness of sins thru Jesus Christ. Repent turn away from your sin. Then Praise Him for a new life in Christ. Go and sin no more... and lead and raise your children in righteousness.
Today, Repent of your sins, repent of your wrong and wicked ways of thinking, surrender to Christ and seek salvation God offers by obeying the Gospel. Then go, sin no more, and follow Christ your Savior.
