Do they find it a sin if you use a donor's sperm as a single woman?

I'm a Christian, and I don't have a problem with that. What I have more of a problem with is overbreeding when there are already so many people on the planet, and so many children waiting for adoption.

Does Surrogate Motherhood Honor Marriage?

God’s Word tells us that he looks upon marriage as something sacred. For example, Hebrews 13:4 states: “Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge fornicators and adulterers.” God expects all Christians to consider marriage honorable and to keep it that way. What defiles marriage? Fornication, which can dishonor marriage in advance, and adultery, which dishonors marriage after it has been entered into.

Does surrogate motherhood honor marriage and keep the marriage bed undefiled? Simply put, no. Traditional surrogacy requires the insemination of the woman by donor sperm. The Bible’s view may be found at Leviticus 18:20, which says: “You must not give your emission as semen to the wife of your associate to become unclean by it.” There is no Biblical basis for making a distinction between insemination by intercourse and insemination artificially by donor implantation. Therefore, in either case, fornication or adultery is committed when insemination is accomplished by a male other than the woman’s legal husband.

What about gestational surrogacy? This too defiles the marriage bed. True, the fertilized egg would be a union of the husband and his wife, but it is thereafter placed in the womb of another woman and, in fact, makes her pregnant. This pregnancy is not the result of sexual relations between the surrogate woman and her own husband. Thus, her reproductive organs are now being used by someone other than her own mate. This is inconsistent with the Bible’s moral principles that a woman bear a child for her own husband. (Compare Deuteronomy 23:2.) It would not be proper for a man other than the surrogate’s own husband to make use of her reproductive organs. It is an improper use of the marriage bed. Thus, surrogate motherhood is not for Christians.

From the Bible we must conclude that if conception is accomplished with the sperm and an egg not from husband and wife, it would amount to adultery or fornication. The Scriptures leave no doubt as to God’s view of such: “God will judge fornicators and adulterers.” (Heb. 13:4; Matt. 19:9)

I think that using a sperm bank takes all the fun out of making the little tots in the first place! lol

Seriously though, I can see no reason why a single woman using a sperm bank is a sin; I just think it makes it so much harder to raise one when you are all alone.

Anything invented after the Bible was written is okay.

And it's more than okay to raise a child without a father - just because society insists on something doesn't mean it's correct.

A few hundred years ago society insisted that demonic possession was a fact.

I do not think it is good at all. I think God wants a child to have a father as well as a mother.

majority of the Christian church I believe thinks it is wrong, but I, being of that faith, see nothing wrong with it except that a kid should have both a father and a mother.

It's none of my business but I believe children deserve a father and mother who love them unconditionally. Praise the LORD.

I'm no Christian but it's not fair to raise a kid without a father.

If you want a kid so bad, go find yourself a husband.
