Question

is she going to hell?



we are spanish and catholic. sorry my english is not very well.

excuse me, i am sorry. i meant profesor above.

Answer 1

su profesor está loco!?

God not man defines sin and God never put a limit on the number of children a woman can have. It may be a sin to have 19 children if you can't and don't take care of them but the sin there is not the number of children, it is the not caring for them...and I know people that don't care for one or two children!

Answer 2

No, your mother is not going to hell for having kids. The bible doesn't give any limit to how many children a woman can have. What your professor said was strictly his own opinion.

However, using birth control or condoms is considered "going against god's will" so to speak and is a lesser sin that can be resolved through confession and penance.

Answer 3

Well, IMO having over 5 children isn't the best idea (the world is overpopulated enough), it won't land you in Hell!

Some Christians/ other spritual groups believe that you should have as many children as you are able to. It's amazing how many different views on things there are!

Answer 4

Your professor is a legalist and doesn't really know the Bible. In fact, the Bible says that the parent with MANY children are blessed.

If your mother goes to hell, it won't be for having too many children. It would have to be only if she wasn't truly trusting Jesus for her salvation, but if you are Catholic, then she already believes that Jesus is the Son of God and He never sinned and He died on the cross for OUR sins.

Answer 5

She's not going to hell.
There is no reason to be concerned,unless the religion you or your mother practices says it's a sin to have that many children.
I have never heard of a religion that says it's a sin to have more than 5 children, but I don't study religion.

Answer 6

Another issue of religion. Now procreation over a certain number of offspring can be considered a sin. Honestly I'd say your professor is just nuts.

Answer 7

No. Adan y Eva fueron mandados a tener muchos hijos para llenar la tierra. Una familia es parte del plan de Dios. Aqui hay una posibilidad. El mandamiento que Adan y Eva recibieron fue que Génesis 1:28

28 Y los bendijo Dios, y les dijo: Fructificad y multiplicaos; llenad la tierra, y sojuzgadla, y señoread en los peces del mar, en las aves de los cielos, y en todas las bestias que se mueven sobre la tierra.

Si quiere obedecer este mandamiento, el padre de unos de mis amigos me dijo una vez - 2 personas en un matrimonio multiplican 2x2, y deben de tener por lo menos 4 hijos para multiplicar. Entonces para llenar la tierra, si es posible deben tener 4+ hijos, o 5 o mas. Asi es, 19 hijos es maravilloso, si los padres pueden recordar a sus nombres (ja ja). Conozco a otra familia con 19 hijos, y todos son muy inteligentes. Que pase buen dia.

Answer 8

Irresponsible maybe. Unless she can afford all those kids without being a burden to society.

Welfare SUCKS and the government should impose a forced sterilization program to ensure OUR future as a nation.

Answer 9

My goodness no! That is no sin. Children are a blessing.

Answer 10

Its not a sin if you can provide for them. Most people can not provide for 5 , but if you are wealthy, go for it.
