I'll be 18 in 3 months and I really want a baby. The only thing I'm a virgin and I'm a Christian. But is it okay if you want a baby?

Dear JakHapSix

Yes, it is still a sin.

No it's not okay. It is still sex outside of marriage.

Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. (1 Corinthians 6:13 NKJV).

If you are a Christian you should be looking to marry a man who is also a Christian before considering having children. (Why do you want a baby out of wedlock?)

Your proposal would also mean:

  1. You are bonding yourself to the man with whom you have sexual intercourse For "THE TWO," He says, "SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH (1 Corinthians 6:16). This will have a negative impact on a future marriage.
  2. When you do find a man to marry, you will not be a virgin.
  3. You are deliberately bringing a baby into the world without a father to train them in Christian things - fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4 NKJV)

Your question raises questions about your understanding of what it is to be a Christian. Where are you from? To which church do you belong? Maybe you have not been a Christian for long, or you have not been taught sufficiently. If you want to talk about this more, please feel free to do so. Privately if you prefer.

I hope this helps.

I've actually been a Christian for a while, I was just going through a stupid faze, thank you for being one of the people working to open my eyes. I want a guy who doesn't even want to kiss until marriage. God bless

Glad I could help. Finding a guy who doesn't even want to kiss before marriage might be a challenge. Most important is that you restrict your search to Christian guys with the same spiritual outlook and values as you. Pray about it. But beware the 'unequal yoke'.

If you want to talk about all this, feel free to do so. Privately if you prefer.

God bless.
