		<description><![CDATA[[&#8230;] How Many Children Should I Have? - I know, I know, I’m going where many have perished.  But.  I want to highlight two simple biblical principles that I think could help Christians have more confidence that they are pleasing God in this vital area of life. And of course, this is all under the sovereignty of God who alone can give life. [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing curious about the present state of affairs. It is exactly what one would find when progress is made.

		<description><![CDATA[Karen Butler, you write: &quot;

&quot;Not sure how that applies to the number of children we should have..&quot;

Well,
 if your reproductive organs were left on the altar as a part of your 
entire bodies&#039; living sacrifice, instead of being taken back under your 
own control, then you would probably soon see how that scripture applies
 to the number of children you should have! Because this is exactly what
 sacrifical offerings are: &#039;not my will be done, Lord -- but yours.&#039;&quot; 

This is another one of your empty arguments. Your prognastication of what would probably happen is nothing but a bald, unsubstantiated assertion. I don&#039;t know if you know this, but bald, unsubstantiated assertions do not advance your position one iota. So, by making such an assertion, you are wasting everyone&#039;s time in this discussion, including yours.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your position is self-contradictory. If you are not seeking to control how many children He gives, then you are, by direct implication, seeking to have the most amount of kids as possible. After all, if you are not seeking to have the most amount of kids as possible, then you are, by direct implication, seeking to control how many children He gives. Why is this? Because, how many children He gives to you is correlated with your seeking to have children. The most extreme confirmation of this fact is seen by considering the fact that if you avoid sexual intercourse, then God is not going to give you any children.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t listen to RC Sproul, Jr., HomeschoolontheCroft. God most definitely gives more children to some people than they&#039;re able to manage. RC Sproul Jr.&#039;s advice is based on the false proposition that God never gives anyone tasks which they cannot complete. That this is a false proposition can be proved by giving just one example where God did just that. Here is such an example. God placed his people under the Egyptian taskmasters who required them to make bricks without straw. They were not able to complete this task which God, in his sovereignty, placed upon them. This puts the lie to RC Sproul Jr.&#039;s false proposition.]]></description>
