About 5 years ago after some tests we found there was no sperm whatsoever in my [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. We have since had a child by sperm donor who we love with all our hearts and are currently trying to have another by the same donor.
Although he's 100% my child I feel like this does not satisfy the promise of Deuteronomy 7:14 that none of your men or women will be childless. Since fertility treatments were not possible when the bible was written I believe healing is implied in that verse not adoption or anything other than mother and father having biological children.
Since the first command God gave humanity was to go forth and multiply God must heal me as it's not fair for Him to give a command but not equip me to fulfil it.
Then again some people die childless because they never find the one or their partner dies or they die young before having children. I wouldn't say any of those cases make God a liar, they're just unlucky but still my situation feels unjust to me.
