Pastors in the house is it bad to adopt a child?

Esther was not the biological daughter of Modecai. Modecai adopted Esther after her parents died and he nurtured her very well until she became the Queen in the most powerful empire at that time.

Adoption to me is man made concept that aligns with God's charity commandment perfectly.

By Christian definition we are adopted children of God; reconciled to God by Christ Jesus. So adoption is a good thing because God did it first!

By nature we are serpent seeds; that's why none is righteous, no, not one! But now we are reconciled to God through the sacrifice of peace to be co-heirs of his glorious Kingdom with Christ!

It is biblical. Moses was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. Esther was adopted by Mordecai her uncle. Remember they are part of the heroes in the Bible. "As you do unto others so you do unto me". Jesus said. Please go ahead if you want.

I understand why you're 99.9% sure cos you have small evidence.

However, life can still be funny, despite the fact that you look like him.

Anyway, don't mind me or take me too seriously. The fact that you look like him is already an almost certainty that he's your father.
Bro, u are right, so stick to your point. The fact that he looks exactly like one of his parents doesn't guarantee that that is his real parent. I have heard and even seen someone who looks exactly like me, but the truth is that I don't even know him before and we are not even related in any way. Won't u call that mystery. So life is very funny indeed. One can't be sure in total.

You can adopt as long as you will give same fatherly or motherly care and love you will give your biological children.
Mordecai adopted Esther, Eli took care of Samuel, Timothy and many others were Paul's children in the Lord.

If a child needs loving parents and you can provide a loving home why do you need the Bible to tell to do that which is good?

Does the Bible tell you how to drive? How to use the internet? How to make a phone call?

This thread is proof of how dangerous religion/authoritarianism is.
Islam teaches its adherents everything.
So, their leaders usually decieve them.

If God can redeem us through adoption by accepting his only son Jesus Christ, we are no longer slave but legitimate sons and daughters enjoying all that our Heavenly Father owns, who then are we to set one child aside from the other

Ephesians 1:5

“In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will . . .


BUT WHEN THE SET TIME HAD FULLY COME, GOD SENT HIS SON, BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN UNDER THE LAW, TO REDEEM THOSE UNDER THE LAW, THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE ADOPTION. SO YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT GOD’S CHILD; AND SINCE YOU ARE HIS CHILD, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN HEIR.” – GALATIANS 4:4-5 & 7

Christianity is not about what you do to please God. It is about grace.

God reaching to you and not you reaching to God.

The bible is crystal clear about it, if the word of God doesn't support adoption, it will never be stated in it how Jehovah makes us his heirs... Once our Heavenly Father can make us his children, there's nothing wrong in adopting a child or children if you are accepted to be father or mother as we have accepted our Heavenly Father through his son Jesus Christ. Once after adoption, there should never be discrimination, he or she is entitled to all you've gotten including love, care and discipline

Few Sundays ago we talked about adoption in our Sunday school, Moses was adopted and so are we adopted by Christ.
There is nothing wrong with adoption

Every Born Again child of God, is. an adopted child of God. Infact, the entire Gentiles world in the sight of God, are all adopted. Rom 11:17
So if it is sinful, it will not be of God. In Christ Jesus, we are all adopted sons and daughters of God.

Religion is man's way to God
Christianity is the opposite of religion. It's God coming to look for man. Lk. 19:10. Christianity is a way of life . Act.9:2
Christianity can't be religion, because of what it is. God to man.

The Bible says you should care for the fatherless and orphans. Adopting orphans is a way of caring for them. There's nothing wrong with adoption even in the ordinary sense provided it's done properly and with good intention. Buying a stolen child in the name of adoption is a sin and a crime for instance. The same with buying products of baby factories. To avoid sin and the wrath of God, one should follow due process by going through the Social Welfare Department.

Some relevant scriptures are as follows:

James 1:27
Matthew 25:40
Psalm 82:3
Proverbs 31:8-9
Psalm 146:9

I'm not a Pastor but I know people who have happier lives today because they chose to adopt. God blesses the kind hearted in various ways....it's not always about cash alone.
You make brain baje

There are some things we need to apply common sense to

True... tell it to the sheeple who would rather wait 10-20 yrs to have a child rather than adopt one
