If you are a Christian, it is not right.

Let us stop diluting Christianity to our taste.

The essence of Christianity is to be Christ Like, not to make mockery of God.

In Christianity Man and Woman are Created in the image of God.
When they marry, they become Godlike and become creators, IVF is meant to assist married people, who can't give birth.

So if an unmarried Christian woman decides to get pregnant, it is wrong because child bearing is a blessing to two people that have decided to become one.

We love using wrong grounds to prove whether things should be either right or wrong. And you cannot build a solid house on a faulty foundation

[You say it morally wrong for a woman to bring up a child without a father? I am not in support of wayward living what about women that lost their husbands when the baby is still young?
quote author=Nbote post=68130653]Logical and Biblical are two very different things.. We see nothing wrong in single moms these days becos it's becoming a norm. Their's an adage dat says "When u commit abomination for too long, it begins to feel like it's part of culture ". It is morally wrong for a woman to raise a child without a father. It defeats d purpose of marriage.. D fact dat d sanctity of marriage has been bastardised still doesn't justify d new trend [/quote]

Is it wrong for an unmarried christian lady to adopt?
The difference between adoption and IVF/surrogacy is womb that bore baby. The child remains a legal child of the mother however.

It is wrong. It defeats God's intention for Marriage which is between a man and woman. The children are bastards, without father and God forbade them from even entering His house for ten generations even their descendants. That is to tell you how serious the matter is to God. There is a curse on them. This is because it indirectly undermines the Authority and position of Jesus Christ as the Head and husband of the church, which God used to teach us His divine plan for marriage. I don't judge people but this is the bible position. Deuteronomy 23:2 No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation
Jesus was a bastard in case you don't know.

How do you know you are not descended from a bastard within ten generations? Doesn't that mean yo shouldn't enter god's house. Everyone on planet earth is descended from a bastard.

Before you complain ten genarations is more than one thousand years so you must be a bastard's descendant

Please what is this guy's name? He just said a whole lot of truth in so little time.

Nice. He deserves all the accolades I can give. Been a while since I saw a televangelist speak such truth about a topic like this.
He said a whole lot with no Biblical inclinations. Notice he started with 'I personally think...'. That does not make it true. Opinions differ and what you have just watched is the opinion of one man, not the view or principle of God as laid out in the Scripture.

Societal values have been kicked to the curb that we see as being okay for a woman to get pregnant out of wedlock or for a young adult to take in for a famous or even a nonentity in the name of baby mama or contract agreement.

We cannot reason God out with rational thoughts. However, that he said what you wanted to hear does not make it the truth. I sure hop you can tell apart the two.

Too many lazy and ignorant 'Yoots'!

IVF is not just about a single lady wanting to get pregnant all by herself, haaba!

There are hundreds of married women, living happily with their husbands, who also undergo IVF treatment because they have difficulty in concieving naturally.

For example:
- Blocked tubes
- Hubby erectile dysfunction
- damaged sperms (low motility, deformations, e.t.c)
- Damaged Placenta
- Fibroid issues
....and many more situations that may warrant the IVF route.

It is not for any silly Pastor to say it is allowed or not, just based on his own convinience.

Mind you, l am not saying or in support of an unmarried woman like Linda Ikeji, taking advantage of such procedure, for her illicit disposition, if oyu know what l mean (I know the daft ones wont know what l mean).

Like Abortion, it is not to be encouraged but to be used as a 'last resort', to remedy a hopeless situation.

the fact that you are a product of a failed or heartbreak marriage does not mean everybody else will suffer the same unfortunate fate you suffered. if you knew you had nothing morally sound to contribute, you could have just shut up.
where has all this morality landed Nigeria as a country or u as an individual.

Indeed, we have a sick - very sick society. How do you dress in suit (look responsibly) and mislead people in this manner. It comes more vague when he said if the lady has "everything". Whoever has everything in life. Ethically, woman can't present herself before a fertility doctor and request for insemination with the presence of a the husband who has failed medically to perform his duty. To Mr pastor, what would have made the lady to take such a decision - is it that she does not believe in marriage or she is too big to marry? We really must be careful when we sit before cameras

And to think you called some folks lazy but you failed to understand the topic yourself before commenting. And I sure believe you also failed to see the video.

'Unmarried' here, contextually and in the video refers to ladies who don't want to get tied to a man but are willing to raise children on their own. It's a Christian topic, so let's treat it as such and not give a hundred and one reasons on why Nigeria won't win the World Cup.

Bible this, bible that... last last una go dey alright. An unmarried woman chose not to have sex but wants a child. so she chose to have an IVF but lo and behold issa sin y'all are mad by default.....

The same bible that said Abraham sent his side chick Hagar away thereby she raised the child alone. Same bible said Mary got pregnant without sex oo, WITHOUT SEX nitori oloun. if that's not IVF I don't know what else to call it.

First, an unmarried lady going for IVF is not a sin but it is not needful (using the word of Apostle Paul). Not all things are necessary even though they are not sinful. As a Christian there should be balance. Why is it not needful? Simply cos you are deliberately not following the order of raising a child which is a deliberate attempt at denying the child of enjoying the love of the father. However if the lady couldn't get an husband and still needs a child, that is different and may be accepted.
Above all, the question is , is it needful?
Re: Is It Right For Unmarried Christian Woman To Get Pregnant Through IVF by jossypet(m): 7:53am On Jun 03, 2018
My response would rather be a question. Why would a woman (a christian) without a husband want to become pregnant? U first need to go back and understand who a christian is. It's even very much debatable in the circular world not to talk of christiantom. If we understand who a christian is then such question will not come up

So what if an unmarried woman adopts a child. The child is a bastard too? The bible can't keep up with modern times.

Adopting a kid will still mean she'll be UNMARRIED with a kid and having an IVF is NOT fornication.
