Genesis 8: 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth.
Again, parents know that there are definite risks to having children. Like God, parents do know up front, not merely that it is a possibility that they would do evil; we know for sure that they will do evil, and yet, we go ahead and have children. At least with God, He knew in advance that most of the angels would choose to do good but in our own sphere we know for sure that the kids would do evil. And if you don’t know, now you do.
Romans 3: 9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one. 11 There is none that understands, there is none that seek after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips. 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
Why is it then, that we still go ahead and have kids, when we know for sure that they will do evil, not as a mere possibility, but definitely? This raises further questions that must now be addressed: Is it a good thing to have kids, even though we know in advance that they will do evil? And if we answer yes, do the pros outweigh the cons?
Psalms 14: 2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
