[CS-FSLUG] Glorifying having a baby out of wedlock

[Christopher Rose]

Hmmm... not sure that I liked this one. Hope and I had Jeremiah out of wedlock, I confess, and yet we have been married for just over two years now and our marriage is doing fairly well. Perhaps the author is a bit too strict, that is to say legalistic and yet he makes reference to God's forgiveness. Maybe it is just me, but I would like to believe that even though Hope and I sinned, we have been forgiven and that our healthy child and strong marriage are evidence of that forgiven state. However, it I do believe that it can be sinful to marry somebody just because they are the other biological parent of your child (as is the situation with somebody else in my family). I will argue for pre-marital counselling for anyone considering marriage, especially if the marriage is preceded the birth of a child (as was my own case). Now then, the final nail in this coffin for me is this: I love my wife and child and would do anything to protect them, even at the cost of my own life. If anyone want to dispute this, they are welcome to try and argue, but it will fall upon deaf ears as one can not prove love, for love just is.
