Understand the concept, "Who is God" and it would become simpler to understand God Almighty in its entirety.
God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.
The moment the big bang occurs... all souls (atmans) existing in the Cosmos spread all over the cosmos with unimaginable speeds. The magnitude and the scale of the big bang are beyond the comprehension of the human beings to visualize. Nothing that exists in the cosmos in energy form can be visualized by the help of the senses and the mind.
This explosion of the big bang results in creation of a new cosmos... a new beginning! After billions of years when some planets become suitable for giving birth to life... the souls start manifesting body after another. And a planet like Mother Earth is born.
Now... what is this big bang theory! The big bang occurs in what! As has been defined above... the definition of God is, "the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we know as God Almighty".
This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety. It is as if a huge cauldron of fire... a massive black hole has reduced the whole of the Cosmos to the size of half a thumb. It is this stage when every single soul atman in the Cosmos in whatever stage of life it may be liberates after gaining enlightenment and salvation. There is just no escape for the collapse of the whole of Cosmos has occurred.
As has been expressed by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism that souls atmans in whatever stage of life they may be... continue their journey into the next Cosmos exactly from the point where they stood in the earlier manifestation is totally wrong. This is where the teachings of Jainism are flawed.
Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Lord Krishna distinctly clarifies this point. And it is logical that when the collapse of the entire cosmos occurs... the question of souls remaining in their position as such and transitioning into the next Cosmos after the big bang occurs is but a flawed parable that defies all reasoning and logic.
The point of difference where Mahavira went wrong in understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The reason why Jainism branched into a new thinking pattern as advocated and doctored by Bhagwan Mahavira (the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism) is evidenced here.
This cluster of pure energy... the sum total of all purified atmans in the Cosmos equals half the size of a thumb as has been clearly spelt out in the Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata.
Unable to contain itself for long... this enormous source of pure energy explodes with a big bang giving birth to a new cosmos... a new journey! God Almighty is the source and the cause of the big bang. This theory of creationism is unpalatable by Scientists all over the world. Why? Science demands proofs and in the kingdom of God... it is absolute faith (in the system of God) that rules. More on who is god here- http://www.godrealized.org/god/who_is_god.html

Along the same lines, God is compassionate, merciful, forgiving, why then is there so much poverty, hunger and lawlessness in the world?
I always say, this world is like a game, a fair game which every human has to play (live) through. In order to ensure fairness, we are given a choice. We have Free Will so that we can choose for ourselves what we want in consideration of what God wants from Us.
If there were no Free Will, there would be no test. If everything on this earth was correct and right, nothing went wrong, how would people be tested? And as far as the test is concerned it wouldn't be fair because there would be no way to allow people what THEY wanted to do.
So there is a choice, which allows us to choose what we want. Everyone has to struggle and make effort to find out the truth and act in accordance. That is the reason God gave us the ability to perceive things, to understand them.

The one implied premise that you are making that creates the apparent contradiction is that God isn't adaptive. True it is outside of God's plan for us that we sin, and one sin is premarital sex, but just because God doesn't want us to sin doesn't mean that he cant make a plan for a child's life that is conceived out of wedlock. The other problem is that God's intentions are essentially entirely in the peoples hands. God gave us free will to do as we please, but He hopes that we will choose to do his will. Now, even though the sin has everlasting consequences, that does not exclude either parent or the child from being able to participate in God's will in the future. Naturally the parents should seek forgiveness for their act of indiscretion, but God is a God of forgiveness and second chances and is more than capable of receiving anyone into his arms who wishes to submit to His will.
So, concisely, yes the sin is wrong, No God probably didn't intend for the conception but He allowed it to happen in the hopes that something good may yet come of it and in the respect of our individual choices as people with a free will.
Hope that helps ;)

You're heading into dangerous territory with this question. This one brings up all kinds of debates, and centers around the idea of God having everything predetermined, versus free will. The christian concept is that ... God knows everything you will ever do, it's all been planned from the beginning of time, but that he granted you free will in order to choose to follow him or not.
In which case, God is an evil bastard. He purposely planned for people to deny his existence and go to hell as a result. Even if he did exist, wouldn't this negate that he isn't fit to worship?
Edit: For the post above, why is it "dumb reasoning"? It's a valid question concerning your bible. Your bible states that everything is predetermined, that God knows all. In which case, going with your example, yes, God would have known what Hitler was going to do from the time before Hitler was even born, and not only planned it that way, but stood by and let it happen. And yet you still choose to worship this deity? Says alot about your own morals, now doesn't it.
By the way .. Hitler was christian. Read Mein Kempf.

Try not thinking of actions you make so much as sins, but rather an action for which you'll have to live out the consequences. Consider the consequences, and if you are willing to live them out, go ahead ... if not, rethink the action. Good or bad, you'll have the effect of the cause. The more severe the action, the more severe the effect.

You're using dumb reasoning. I guess God also intended for Hitler to be alive so the Holocaust was okay???

Sex is the 'sin'.
Childbirth is not.
And it's called FREE WILL. He may have intented the child to be born, but not necessarily out of wedlock.

It's a sin for the parents - not the baby.
God is never taken by surprise.
But you, don't you have some weightier matters to consider?

Sex is a gift from God and it is sacred which should be shared by couples blessed with the holy matrimony.

my friend, ive pondered this many times,for instance, how could god allow child molesters too,but the conclusion that i have come to is this......god made us with a choice, without choice,we are simply robots,or drones, allthough god may not agree with that choice, he has given it to us, to make, and to bear the consequences thereof,sure...he may know the outcome,but thats what makes god so great..........he gave us choice, without choice, who could really be saved?
