By the law of nature it's a sin. You were born, give birth as pay back.

Giving birth serves the endless loop of samsara.
Souls are trapped here to suffer repeatedly and humans unconsciously drive the system by giving birth.

If your reason is because of the situation of the country like u said....it's a sin because that's lack of faith.... God will punish u for doubting his promises... he promise to provide our needs divinely....
Your reason is external needs...Remember the bible says we should seek the kingdom of God and it's righteousness and everything else (external needs like shelter food clothing etc) will be added to us...the lord knows we need those things..and he's faithful to provide....so why worry...
But if it's because of internal need which is getting acquainted with God intimately...fulfilling his purposes...and obeying completely

That's a reasonable excuse that glorifies the lord

God will not punish you; No, he won't send you to hell... but the society will punish you and send you to hell on earth with side talks and open criticism and believe me, you will bend to societal pressure. If you choose to stay single, you must relocate abroad and cut all communication with African family and friends undecided

You want to perpetually copy Onan who spilled seeds and died!

Shebi them talk say Jesus said let the children come to me!

Jesus loves children!

Why do Christians hate children because of poverty? Can't you be poor and still train your children well?

Jesus loved children so much....yet he never had one.

He died young!

What an excuse.

The Bible put the age of Jesus at the time of his death around 33-34yrs.

Phil Foden of Man City is in his 20's and he already has 2 kids. We have guys not up to 20 sef already having kids bro

No, God will not punish you or send you to hell simply because you don't marry or have children.

Marriage and having children are good things, but they are not conditions for God's love, salvation, or your worth. In fact, in the Bible, there are many examples of great men and women of faith who were not recorded as being married or having children, and yet they lived fully for God and fulfilled their purpose.

What matters most to God is your heart, your faith, your love for Him and for others, not your marital status.

Jesus Himself said in Matthew 22:30 that in the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. That shows that marriage is for this world, not eternity. Salvation is based on your relationship with God through faith, not on whether you marry or have kids.

If marriage happens and it's right for you, fine. If it doesn’t, it doesn't make you less loved or less complete in God's eyes. You are already complete in Him.

please don't quote the Bible out of context marriage is part of God purpose for the earth

Thank you for your response.
However, I would like to humbly point out that Apostle Paul, in **1 Corinthians 7:7–8 and 26–28**, made it clear that marriage, while good, is not mandatory for everyone.

He said:

*"I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. Now to the unmarried and widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do."* (1 Corinthians 7:7– cool

He also added that *"those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this."* (1 Corinthians 7:28)
Marriage is a divine institution, but **remaining unmarried is also acknowledged by the Bible as honorable and not sinful.**
God looks at the heart, not at our marital status. Some are called to marry, and some are called to stay single — both are gifts from God.

Peace and blessings.

However, it is a sin to birth offsprings you cannot cater for.

Re: Is It A Sin Not To Bear Children... by Vulcan24(m): 1:24pm On Apr 27, 2025

Bearing children improving the chances of success of your lineage!

If poverty is rife or certain debacle persist, children are the ones that will upset that balance, you can't live and do all in your lifetime!

Wether you have the means or not try to procreate! It is a blessing that God ordained and he has plans for each if your progeny, reasons why abortion remains a scourge!

Imagine if the likes of dangote, Tunde chess and great men who invented the blessings we use today were not born. Probably we will still be in the cave!

With children humanity have chances of improvement, children can be raised to become anything in life for the betterment of everyone

Nonsense.

Most people die and leave debt behind. Most don't even leave behind something to bury themselves but you talk of inherited properties? huh

Honestly, children are burdens and responsibilities
Menh, e no easy

They all are at the parasitic stage of life.
But when they are all grown up at the productive stage, some become a blessing, a great asset to their families and society. That's the hope & prayer of most parents

you not wanting to get married is not a sin at all! But then again, make sure u stay celibate all your life.. after all we have sisters and brothers in the convent who have dedicated their lives and will never get married nor have sex.. the moment u think of having sex, then you’re on the sinful path.. Sex is one of the major reasons for marriage.

Rubbish

Re: Is It A Sin Not To Bear Children... by Batman2412(m): 5:45pm On Apr 27, 2025

Jesus did not get married nor have kids. God didn't even create wife for Himself. Satan himself refused to get married nor have kids. Africans love sex too much they make you think the only commandment God gave is "go into the world and multiply." They feel God owes them something for getting married and having kids. When you marry and have kids, you gain nothing as a man. It is the women, the society, the church, the politicians that gain. So when they see strong men that decide to go their own way by staying single and childless, whether rich or poor, they psychologically blackmail them, shame them and make them believe God will punish them. No lose guard

Just for properties? I could will everything to the less privileged lol.
The main reason I'm going to have kids is to have someone who will look after me when I'm too old to work and earn.
If it's property for you, then it's your own view.

You seem to have given up on financial success.

I think your problem is that you have a poor mentality towards money. But have to realise that you can become rich.

Look around you, you will see people your age making lots of money. You probably assume that they are born into privilege or are into something illegal, but I assure you, most are legit.

Find out how things work. Instead of creating this kind of thread, start creating ones that can get you information on how to make money. You don't even need to have formal education. Get information on how to make money.

From today, become curious. Whenever you see someone who is doing well, be curious about what they do and how it works. You will discover that a lot of money-making avenues are stupidly simple. You may not even need money or special training to start.

For now, acknowledge that you are ignorant and have an awful mentality towards money. That is the first step towards life change.

Then start asking yourself what you can do to make legit money. Read books. Listen to motivational podcasts.

Here's a simple fact; in this day and age, INFORMATION IS MONEY, not hardwork. There are people who aren't as hardworking nor as smart as you, who are making a lot of money - legit money. Find out how they are doing it. Get close to people who are doing well. Make yourself useful to them. In the beginning don't ask for help, just get close, and you will pick up clues.
The reason why you shouldn't ask them for help is because tons of other people are also asking them for help. The is the reality of anyone who is doing well. If you appear to be needy, they will drift away from you. So, just get close and make yourself useful anyway you can. You can begin with something as simple as greeting. Anything to get them to like you.

To summarise, work on yourself, begin with your mentality. If you would do that, then not long from now, you will look back at this thread and laugh at yourself.

Infact, I was just thinking about this yesterday and now, the question is popping up.
My dear, as long as u do the high way and doesnt wish for it, I will support ur decision not to have but if u do because of societal pressure, abeg day try rmb them Almajiri.its not life to bring a life to suffer willingly either for d sake of fulfilling desire or becos of pressure. U may end up regretting.
