I can't believe such a vulgar term is even being used still. It's horrifying that anybody would call a child that.

Romans 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
However, it continues:
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Yet also remember He did not save any of the parentless or the fatherless at the time of the flood.To the contrary, God champions the parentless and fatherless. Proverbs 23:11
James 1:27
Who did Jesus directly call bastards ? (not children I think....) .... in the Bible....I can't believe such a vulgar term is even being used still. It's horrifying that anybody would call a child that.
Dude why are venting so much at me over a generic question?
If you've made some bad choices in life you need to accept it and move on. If you're content then why some much protest. Take council with God over it.
Answering your question with Scripture is venting in your view. Noted. However, it is not an attack on you to speak of God's grace to sinners.
This is mean-spirited. The poll is mean-spirited. "Yes, I had some"?? Are you trying to embarrass and shame?
What is it you do? Should we create a poll and load the options to shame you? I don't understand this.
I would be thrilled if you could show me this isn't hateful. If it is hateful, I doubt you could show that Christ approves.
Keep going with the scripture then sir.
Some people might complain about the word Bastard being used but I just want to say this is Gods language so it can never be unclean so please respect that. The problem is Christians have been influenced by the heathens of this world and been persuaded to abandon Gods clean sacred language. Here are some verses:
Deuteronomy 23 2
''A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.''
hebrews 12:7-8
''If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.''
So God clearly wants children to enter into the world in a certain manner. Just wandering if people here think having a Bastard child is acceptable or marriage before the child's birth is essential? The world keeps pushing for more and more of Gods will to be eliminated,please bear in mind this ultimately is an issue of how adults and potential parents conduct themselves,not an attack on children so curious how the forum felt on this issue. Thanks.
What is the point and purpose of this?
Do you seriously believe God will himself reject a person because they grew up without one parent? Or were born out of wedlock?
Daniel C, you actually laugh reacted to my post above? And you're asking if the fatherless are acceptable to God? I'd be more concerned about if your behavior and language was acceptable to God rather than children.I voted yes simply in the context of your horrific labeling. All children are "acceptable" to God regardless of the sins of their parents.

If you are trying to talk about the problems of having children out of wedlock you should had talk about that instead of focusing on "bastards".The purpose is to find out if forum members think it's acceptable to have bastard children or if they insist on being wed first. Just like I stated.
I don't think God will reject a person who was born out of wedlock,the law isn't aimed at the child,it's at the parents.
That's just the tone of the OP. The title of the poll is "Are Bastard Children Acceptable?" And if they are not acceptable what should we Christians do about them?Where did you get that < "all judgment and no grace" > from ?

One doesn't have to be on a high horse to find this appalling.Oh come down off your high horse man.
I've let everyone have their view here. Your op was just whining about how you voted based on the fact you didn't like the way I worded my poll. Vote how you like, don't use me as an excuse.
Thanks for pointing that out. The tone of the thread seems to be to stir up contention and possibly to try (without success) to support the ops viewpoint(s)?That's just the tone of the OP. The title of the poll is "Are Bastard Children Acceptable?" And if they are not acceptable what should we Christians do about them?
