Could sterility be considered a punishment from God for those with weak gene pools?

There are those who are made eunuchs by God. There are those who are made eunuchs by other men. And there are those who make themselves eunuchs for the Kindom of Heaven's sake.
Your argument might be plausible, but it reeks of Evolutionist undertones.

No. You're punished for something bad you did. If you're sterile you aren't paying any moral debts. You're sterile for medical reasons. It's a doctor you should see. Not a priest.

If I was sterile I'd consider it a blessing, since I don't want kids!

Or is it a blessing? Depends on the sterile person's attitude.

In the Vedas it is explained that one who can not conceive a child because of their past life they where very sinful. It is some type of Karma I do not like to say punishment. It makes us think that God is doing it directly to us. It is an automatic reaction to our past misdeeds. go to www.essene.org for the original truth on Christ and www.stephen-knapp.com for universal information

hm, maybe so. I always wonder about life happenings as punishments. No way to know for sure unless I do more reading and contemplating.

Except. If you believe in gene pools would you not also have to believe in evolution?

No, maybe it is a blessing. Jesus himself was adopted by his earthly father Joseph. Everything has a purpose.

In some cases it should be considered a blessing.

Only a superstitious and ignorant person would believe that.
