The OP defends the use of an obscene term that is attached to the children, not the parents. And he quotes a passage from Deut that penalizes the children.not sure why everyone responding assumed the OP was condemning children out of wedlock and not having children out of wedlock. a child has no control over how they got here.
I voted 'no'.

You said "not sure why everyone responding assumed the OP was condemning children out of wedlock and not having children out of wedlock. a child has no control over how they got here." Everyone is assuming it because the OP said it.and this has what to do with whether or not having children out of wedlock is acceptable?
and that comment(along with the OPs original question) refers to whether or not it's ok for people to have children out of wedlock and has nothing to do with the use of the "B-word".You said "not sure why everyone responding assumed the OP was condemning children out of wedlock and not having children out of wedlock. a child has no control over how they got here." Everyone is assuming it because the OP said it.
When the title of the thread is "are ... children acceptable" and it quotes Deut 23:2, it's about the children.
the OP is deliberately trying to be crass just for clickbait and then hides behind "Gods [sic] language"
No, actually I think he was talking about the importance of being married when you have kids, and just was confused about wording and Scripture support.A lot of people do that, sad really. Maybe the OP is a troll?
Purity culture raises its ugly head yet again in order to demean and devalue people made in the Divine Image.

I will add that the guy shares responsibility too,however.
harlot is a Biblical term. I hold the Bible as my authority and Gods language as clean.
You have an objection to this?
Yes, St. Paul. He also called St. Peter Satan and cursed a fig tree.Excellent point about Jesus blinding with light.
Jesus never causes people to be blind.
8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
Arabic and Russian.
if it won't be said from the pulpit then we shouldn't be using the word in our evangelistic efforts (unless your name is Steven Anderson)Do you know that even "out of wedlock" is now out of date? God is not a God just of love, but of wrath, and He starts with the Church. If we keep white washing the gospel to itching ears, where will it end? Most of today's Christians are lukewarm, and it is due to trying to sanitize sins.
Jonathan Edwards started a great revival by scaring the "hell" out of people! He preached "fire and brimstone."
Arabic wasn't around in the 1st centuryWhy Russian?
I would say Hebrew, but Jesus may have also spoke Arabic

I've recently joined the forum and this is my second post. Too bad it has to be to criticise the decision to make this a featured thread. It's not a good look for new visitors. The OP seems very bitter over something.
