I always wanted to get pregnant , have a baby and be a mom without being married . I got pregnant and had the sweetest baby three weeks ago . My brother says God will punish me for having a baby without being married . Is there a religion that says it's okay to have a baby without being married ? Can I give him an opposing point of view or a second opinion ?

How about looking at your child as a gift from God?? Just out of curiousity, why would you want to be a single mother?

No GOD will not punish you for a having baby without being married. Most of the people in the world has kids and they ain't married. It's not a bad thing. I'm not married and I have a little boy. Tell your brother to worry about his own self and not you. Just take care of your baby.

I consider whoever stated having a infant is a Blessing. And no i do no longer believe God might want to punish anybody for having a baby in love and taking sturdy care of the youngster. There are some religions that say what your brother is putting forward, yet save in thoughts human beings made up faith no longer God. Your Brother forgive me for putting forward this appears to be like very advise lively and that i might want to stay away from him, because he will make your existence and the existence of your infant a residing hell. he will make constructive you're not from now on satisfied. he will punish you no longer God. you would evaluate getting to well known about different faiths that are better accepting and growing a member of one among them. Even the community UU church will be welcoming and not in any respect so judgmental. That way you are able to proceed to have your faith devoid of your brothers poison. save in thoughts both way you ought to protect your baby from the failings your brother says. or it would want to harm the baby previous fix. Many Blessing to you and your infant, and sturdy success

How can a sweet bundle of love be anything but a blessing to a Mommy who loves and wants it? How can any religion that claims to be based on love say this is a bad thing?
No, God will not punish you. Churches like to talk like they have some say in it, but really marriage is a human institution. If you read the Ten Commandments and read what Jesus said, you'll see there's nothing at all said about this.
I defy your brother to find a single Bible passage about it being a sin to give birth to a child while unmarried. There are, however, a good many passages about how women are dirty and worthless in general, but that's Christianity for you.
I'm a Neopagan-Taoist myself, and marriage hasn't got anything to do with anything except how you feel.
Every being in the universe
Is an expression of the Tao.
It springs into existence,
Unconscious, perfect, free,
Takes on a physical body,
Lets circumstances complete it.
That is why every being
Spontaneously honors the Tao.
The Tao gives birth to all beings,
Nourishes them, maintains them
Cares for them, comforts them, protects them,
Takes them back to itself,
Creating without possessing,
Acting without expecting,
Guiding without interfering.
That is why love of the Tao
Is in the very nature of things.
--Tao Te Ching
Congratulations on your baby. I had one a few months ago, and she's an incredible joy. Don't let your small-minded brother take away from your happiness. If you think God is a loving being, trust in it that everything will be okay because you have acted based on love. If you don't think that of God... maybe there's a better religion out there for you.
I am sincerely happy for you and I wish you all the love and joy a sweet lil baby can bring!

Don't listen to your brother. It sounds like he's being very mean-spirited. It's obvious that you really wanted to raise a child, so what does it matter what anyone else thinks? You know what is right for you and your baby. Plenty of single people who believe in god have children on their own. Maybe you could seek out a support group of other single moms? Try not to let all the opinions get to you. Everyone has one, right?

I thought the same thing when I had my son 11 years ago. I was living with the father and knew this was wrong. We have now been married for almost 8 years. We have been blessed by God, and I have never felt punished by him for having my son our of wedlock. Any church congregation that would look down on you for having a baby out of wedlock is not a church that I would attend.
Best of Luck and enjoy your baby! They are a blessing from God!

God has blessed you with a beautiful bundle of joy. He's filled "Your" heart with happiness, not your brothers. A child is a blessing from God, no matter who opens there mouth & decides to speak for him.
Congratulations & Best Wishes!!

No - of course he won't punish you! I have two little twins, and I'm a fiancee, not a wife. My fiance and I are getting married this coming summer, though. Babies are gifts from God - he's not trying to stop you! He's the one who told us to be fruitful and multiply!

God will not punish you. If he was to punish you he wouldn't have allowed you to be a mom in the first place.

no i highly doubt it...according to christian principles....it was the unmarried sex that would have been a sin...the baby is just the natural byproduct of having sex...Please by all means, Enjoy your little bundle of sunshine and leave the past in the past...just be there for the baby and God will take care of you!!!
Congratulations mami !!!
