Why does God give children to those who abuse them? This has been a question that I have been trying to find an answer for. Discussing this through the years I honestly am looking for a true understanding of why? There are many in the world who would love to have children however they will never bare them. Of course there are options such as adoption or surrogacy which brings to those who cannot bare them a precious gift.

But for those who cannot stand them why do they have them? Why murder, beat, abuse or violate them? Can anyone answer this question for me? Debating is good but please try not to argue I am just looking for a clear answer. I truly need closure on this question.

Thanks

  It would take a hub or two to answer this thoroughly. In short, God gave man the ability to procreate. He even commanded Adam to be fruitful and multiply.
  
  God is not a respecter or people. He does not put one above the other.
  
  I am sure you want more than what I gave. Maybe I can write a hub on it and explain it more.

  One more thing that might help you understand a little better.
  
  There are many who go around speaking of freewill. They say we have none, They then accuse God for allowing abusive couples to have children. They then make a statement like, "If God is real and is a loving God as Christians claim, He would not allow those people to have children. He would not allow man to rape children or a helpless woman." They say things similar to that.
  
  What they are actually saying is this, "If God is real and loving he would take away those people's freewill and let me have mine." They want God to treat those people differently than they want to be treated.
  
  Still don't think I am there yet with a good answer but getting closer.

  Sometimes I wish he would choose the people instead of giving all of us freewill. When you see how many are put up for adoption, murdered, abused etc. it is so painful it makes your heart hurt. Write the hubs I will be waiting.

  I don't see how this helps one understand anything better, including your summary, particularly the bit about how 'some people' want god to take away other's people's free will yet have their own - how does this have anything to do with people having trouble conceiving?

  My wife was unable to bear children also. We have a son who was born Decmber 4, 1996 and my wife gave birth to him. No IVF, no surrogate, just old fashion pregnancy but from a barren womb.
  
  We never prayed for a child either at the time because we were both lost and wanted nothing to do with God.

  Read this: Many are infertile simply because of the sin that is in their lives. God gave man the ability to procreate. Women of the Old Testament sought God for to open their wombs. In this day and time, no one wants to seek God for such things. They put their trust in doctors and IVF.

  You say you are a convert - just because being a failure in life led you to follow a more simple way of organising yourself to the rules of others does not make that other way 'right' although it may be better for you. If it leads you to believe that god can pop a 5 month old foetus into your wife - despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary - then you should question the basis of your beliefs. The insensitivity of your pronouncements which have no evidential support should alert you to the fact that your line of reasoning is suspect, not that the overwhelming opinion of everyone else is incorrect.

  Belief in a god or not - the answer is the same. If a 'god' is indeed responsible for the 'gift' of children to parents then it is in giving the ability to procreate to the human race. God or no god it would be the same, no 'being' or alternatvely no scientific principal, brings babies to parents like a stork delivery - it is part of the gift from god or nature that humans have babies. What humanity does with them is part of free will and is down to humanity to solve for a civilized future for humanity, or for that return to the garden of Eden if you have a god.
  
  Making a god responsible for 'giving' anything is the same faulty principle as blaming yourself for somebody tripping over your fence that you put up to stop people walking that way.
  
  To sum up it is not a gods fault or design, not natures fault or design but the fault of society of which we are a part.

  Let me tell you a story. It's a true story. It might help you understand OR you may not believe me. But it is a true story.
  
  When I was in my early thirties, I became friends with a Shaman. He was a very learned man. He was a physicist by trade but gave that up in pursuit of the spiritual.
  
  He was a considered a psychic actually and was commissioned for searching for Yamasita treasure hidden in the Philippine countryside.
  
  One evening I had a nice dinner with him and he got to talk about up to then, despite all he knows, he still can't figure out why his father brutally abused him as a child. And also, why he is never compensated for work he has done helping people achieve self-awareness.
  
  At the instant, I started to cough uncontrollably and I started to tear up. It felt like something was at my throat. And THEN, I spoke these words without meaning to:
  
  "you will not be compensated. you killed 10,000 priests. a nation of priests. just babies! So for 10,000 lifetimes, you will experience from your fathers the brutality you inflicted. Your work is your duty. Recover the 10,000 from the soup of the living. Find each and ever one and awaken them."
  
  After that, I started coughing again. He held my hand and started to massage a spot and the coughing stopped.
  
  Let me tell you, that never happened to me before. It never happened again. But I spoke in such a fury I did not feel and did not know where the words came from.
  
  I still wonder about that night. We talked about it, and he said, could I have been an aspect of Ramses? Thinking that he was, gave him some reason to hang on to. He never once complained about his father again.
  
  The point is, our life is just a fragment of eternity. and eternity is a mere fragment of G-d.

  I had a friend whose cousin's daughter premature baby died. The mother was very guilty because she did drugs I think and could not forgive herself.
  
  Anyway, being in the company of a Shaman, you hear a lot of amazing stories like this. But he said that the baby said, "I felt the love and that was what I came here for."
  
  You can say the Shaman was just trying to make the woman feel better about what she did. But, you cannot know that. He did afterall recover several hidden treasures he could not have known was there.
  
  So, once again, it may seem senseless to us, but some things are really in a whole different level of reason.

  Well, according to religion a god gave the human species the ability to multiply/reproduce.
  And, I'm sure you will not find a satisfactory answer and I know why you cannot reconcile it, but as one of your posts already said- you will not discredit your god.
  Refusal to accept the only answer available is why you cannot find why.
  Then you need to reconcile why a god would not create all equal?
  Yes, there are options.
  Irresponsibility and other motivations.
  The absurd notion that the individual feels the need to control and/or dominate other life. It's self-inflating of one's ego.
  As I said above, you won't find an answer, because the one answer you refuse to accept.
  
  The human species can reproduce(not all included). By all accounts, if a god created all humans to be the same, then obviously, either he/she/it made a mistake or does not exist to begin with.
  
  If it was a mistake? Then god is infallible, just like humans. Which would also lead to the conclusion that god was made up by humans and not the other way around. I know it's not the answer you want to hear or believe, but in all honesty, there cannot be any other explanation.

  I could never reconcile such questions with the concept of a loving god. Same with life being unfair, good people getting sick or dying, good people suffering, good people being infertile or having babies with horrific birth defects. The religionist answer 'sin' was unsatisfactory. It makes more sense to me that there is no god & this is just how life is - ups and downs

  The problem of suffering is essentially where the concept of a loving all powerful God falls flat. It's why I'd take people who still believe in Zeus more seriously than those that believe in a perfect God because Zeus was often indifferent to human suffering, he was, at times, a jerk.
  
  Polytheistic religions were always more open about how flawed their gods were, whereas if you bring up the doctrine of literal Hell with some Christians they still defend their torturous deity as being Holy and righteous despite planning to do things worse than Hitler.
  
  Anyway I've gone off on a tangent. To answer the question a loving God would do no such thing therefore there are either no gods or the god(s) are indifferent, benign, evil or powerless when it comes to the situation described.

  Good question AE.
  
  They way I can best understand this (like a few others'but why' type questions) is to remember that we were created with free will,right from the beginning.
  
  The seed for man(kind) became corrupted(through sin),and although the fruit( our bodies) continues to reproduces ,live and die,the seed remains corrupted, or imperfect.
  
  Therefore mankind will always reproduce of itself with a blemish.
  
  The free will gift is always in operation ,but Gods laws are perfect ,because He is without sin,so all sin has a consquence-sin-death.
  
  The physical act between a man and a woman results in a child. How they parent that child is not conditional upon the Lord. They are free to parent as they wish. Sadly, many parents choose to abuse their children.

Many are correct it is freewill but sometimes I wish that God would pick and choose. The children would not suffer anymore. I have many things that have happened that only God could have gotten me through, it was my faith, my determination and my belief that carried through the storm. Sometimes there will not be any exact answer we just have to let go and Let God, if we are believers.

  AEvans,
  I know many, many children who were abused by the most awful and equally the most loving people. We turn to 'God' because He is the Source from which all things come. Sadly, it is a myth to blame Him for the choices humans make. No one is a puppet, a programmed mechanic, born with immediate hate towards another --especially a child. Humans are angry or hateful for a variety of stupid reasons, that result in stupid choices --choices that effect them, their children and complete strangers. My one friend came from literally a lineage of abusive family tendencies, social, political, religious racism. He has two beautiful daughters, now in their teens and never once raised an a hand to harm them. another family I know is raising their children to hate any other child or race.
  
  In closure, know this: God doesn't give or take a child from any family to be loved more or less. Humanity made those choices, laws, etc and justified those things --good AND bad-- based on their stupidity, selfishness, ignorance, greed and certianly a lack of self control.

Hi, I have often asked myself the same question. I do not have children and although I would love to have one I am quite sure it will not happen. My heart hurts everyday knowing I will not have any, and when I see so many children who are born to parents who are unwanted and unloved it makes my heart ache even more.

Why, when I would love to have one and would be so devoted to raising that child am I denied when others who have them at the drop a hat and care not for them are blessed with children and sometimes many times over. It confuses me everyday.

I seriously don't think any answer to this question would ever satisfy me.

  Jacob's wife Rachel was barren yet gave birth to Joseph. Hannah was also barren and gave birth to Samuel, one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. Not trying to condemn or make you feel bad. There were others in the OT.
  
  We look to doctors way too much these days. They cannot do miracles, but God can do anything He wants. He wants us to convince Him to do what we would have Him do as long as it isn't something sinful.

I wish adoption was an option that would be an awsome gift as well. But adoption is expensive and beyond our means unfortunately. Unless you it happened like it did for my mother. Our family knew of this young girl who was at the time my age I was sixteen who had a baby and didn't want it. She kept him for a year but was never around pushed him off on everybody and including my parents. Who began keeping him so much sometimes weeks at a time without a word from her. My mother became so attached feeling like his mother anyway that she finally told the girl that she had to take him back or sign adoption papers over to my parents because she couldn't take the not knowing when she would come to take him away. The young girl said yes right away and my parents made an appointment with a lawyer friend that very day. He drew up papers and she signed them that afternoon. She never came back to see him anymore.

I heard later that she had at least two more that I know of and the social services had took them away from her for negligence. My little brother is now twenty four.

And I guess I'm also afraid they will not see me as good enough to be a foster parent. ugggh. So much goes on in my head about it.

Heres my Answer,A child going up in a drama life,im no longer christian,anymore,but i know the thoughts of it.

God sometimes puts you in a life stand point,so we can become wiser.

Sometimes having a great life,won't lead you God,so sometimes God lets things happen for a reason,to bring you close to him,kinda like Job,maybe Satan wishes to CHallanege God,or God has a test.

Freewill,from my views,in a christian way,i don't fully believe in it.

but,as it says,God does everything for the greater Good,he could make your life a living hell,but in the end,it served you greatly you,you become wise,learn this & that,know whats wrong or right.

I agree kids need loving parents,but sometimes,if you come from a christian jewish view,God is working his plan threw that persons life,everyone has a purpose in life right?

My stepfather abused my mother and I for years. Until I was 12 or so, I thought the whole thing was my fault. He played the psy-op game with me repeatedly ramming into my head that my mother would've been happier if I was never born. Every time I tried to get her to leave him she would just remind me of all the money he makes as if that was our reward for being beaten to smithereens on an almost daily basis. By the time I was 14, I was convinced I was going to have to kill him. No joke, either, I had it all planned out and even knew how I was going to dispose of his body. I didn't end up doing it and was glad I didn't. God gave him the chance to inspire a child and he failed. However, God gave me the strength to not murder a man who wasn't worth sh!t and I succeeded.

  Adapt or die. That is what I've learned over and over. You can swallow your own poison and die, or you can learn the positives and move on.

It took me decades to get through all the crap, and I had to have professional help to make me realize what was real and what was not. You can't become sane by living with insane people. You have to get with sane people to have that understanding.

Daniel Carterposted 14 years ago
Since I am a survivor of extremely severe abuse, by a person who was a religious zealot, my conclusion is quite controversial.

I believe that God is nothing like what I was told. I'm not sure there is a God. I don't think religion, the universe or anything else runs the way religions say it does. Science appears to be more in harmony with what is actually going on than religions superstitions and fables.

So here's what I think, really:
If Jesus died for our sins, he still can't supercede our own free will to save our arses. So when I wake up in the morning, Jesus didn't save me from abuse, nor did any other God. That is a deplorable fact. I saved myself. I endure over 20 years of torture and near murders to grow up strong in learning how to protect myself. The only thing Jesus did was show me how to find peace, by enlightenment, despite my horrific upbringing. Jesus, and Buddha, and many other spiritualists.

If there is a God, he doesn't operate by what any religion determines for him. And so, as a result I really don't think there is a God. If there is, God is nothing like what religions describe. The universe and its workings are the evidence of it. Life on earth is evidence of it.

When we wake up in the morning we have to look in the mirror and realize that person in the mirror is who is going to save us. And the harsh truth is that many are not as fortunate as I was. They DIDN'T survive. I did. If there was a loving God, he would have saved those who had to die in their torture chambers. Period.

  I think there are lessons to be learned from abuse. Hard and undeserved as that may be. One of the things I had to learn was to forgive. I didn't think I'd ever be able to do that. But as it happened naturally, over decades, I learned that I was no longer chained to the insanity and torture, and that it didn't hurt, and that I could see my abuser as a wounded, sick human being, who really was even more desperate for love than me.
  
  In that light, it's quite liberating. In that light, the pain no longer matters. But the scars never disappear. They are reminders of the lessons I had to learn, that I cherish in order to have a better life than I did. If God is in that somewhere, then so be it. But I don't see it or feel it that way. What is fact is undeniable. That's what I have to make peace with. There isn't enough evidence for me to determine anything about God. So I don't worry about it, I feel at peace about it, and I try to be what I seek: I have to be the answer to my questions, the forgiveness I seek, the love I seek. I am the answer. There was no savior when I thought I needed it.
  
  But being the answer to your own problems is powerful. It's liberating. And extremely difficult.

Unless there is some real mental disorder that makes a person enjoy inflicting pain and suffering upon children or animals, or others in general, I don't think anyone starts out to be specifically an abusive parent. Everyone has their own reasons, stress, substance abuse, frustration, some people just can't cope with the stresses that naturally come with raising children. For some parents it's just the way they were themselves raised and what might seem unthinkable to some is just considered appropriate punishment to others.

With all due respect, I think you are asking a question for which there is no answer, unless you ask God himself. How can any mortal man answer for God or know why God does what he does? If there is a God.

As what might seem an overly simplistic answer, my guess is: such is a sense of self-hatred as not measuring up, that the infliction of pain on others, is inflicting pain on oneself, only outwardly projected,
and at the same time seeming to be better than they, and thus doing pain is doing good - if that makes any sense.

I am reminded of the wombs that were made barren by God, and those were of His followers.
I am also reminded of the women who had children late in life and they were His followers.

To say that God puts all babies in all wombs is stretching the power and perhaps even the desire of God. Some may claim it to be so and i am not about to argue the point.

I think that the heathen create their own situations but God is always around to strengthen them and through these strange types of situations, bring them to Him.

We know that trials and tribulations strengthen Gods people and that persecutions and trouble bring people to God.
I know that God raises up certain individuals to do certain jobs,(moses) even of the heathen (cyrus of persia)

I do not claim to know why james was killed while peter was allowed to go free (acts 12) We can never know fully what the purposes of God are, but we can be absolutely sure, that God uses every situation we have been through in our past to help others.

  I am simply saying that the implantation of a five month fetus into a woman's womb is quite impossible. I assumed that, perhaps, the more likely scenario was that maybe your wife had irregular cycles, so therefore had not paid attention to the fact that she had missed them. Few woman show much of being pregnant until about the fifth month. So, if this were the case you would both have become aware of it at that time.
  
  I'm not saying that a pregnancy can't seem miraculous to a couple who has tried repeatly; but to make a claim like the one you made leaves only two possibilities. One of which is the one I have just detailed.

It seems to be the only way for us to learn.

I do not know how to do anything right.
I only know many things Not to do in my attempt to get it right.

Some people don't care if they get it right or not ...
Some people are SELF absorbed.

In order to answer your question within any reason and logic, you must toss out the window your understanding of what ''God'' is.
Traditionally thinking, your ''God'' is an omnipotent being with all the power in the universe to control all aspects of everything, inside and out, yet decided to leave its powers at the door when it came to regulating the actions of its most prized creation, man, with the principle that ''free-will'' will lead these possibly rational beings back to its creator without question, and those that do not stay on the path back home but rather wander about because of this God-given free will are inherently evil and out of his control.
Using such logic, it is is entirely safe to assume that said ''God'' is a child that formed a play-dough family and then allows some them to fall apart, and in turn throws a fit and tosses them into a furnace because they were not good enough. Does that sound like a ''God'' you would want controlling your universe?
Now put aside all that you have been taught by your preachers, your bibles, your parents, and your teachers on the subject of God. Think in only the aspects of what you can physically observe. What are we but intelligent animals? We procreate and decompose just the same. What makes us different is our ability to express introspection in language and art. All animals have the same destructive force as we do, and all have the flaws that will make bad decisions.
Just as the Earth erodes itself, we humans destroy others while spewing forth new ground at the same time.
As far as parents hurting their children, such atrocity can only be explained by examining other creatures. Animals sometimes eat their young, often out of sickness or sensing flaws in genetics. Humans hurt their children for much the same reasons, but others hurt for the sake of hurting because they themselves are flawed.
If one is to continue with the belief that a ''God'' is all-powerful, all-loving, one must also assume that the same entity is all-evil, and all-destructive.
A positive plus a negative equals zero. Therefore, take God out of your rational thinking.

  They can't take God out of the picture, because the indoctrination is at work...and it is rigid.
  
  So believers will go on and on asking themselves these unanswerable questions, and driving themselves crazier, because they just can't(because of indoctrination)see the obvious answer.
  
  God is a permanent presupposition in their 'logical' questions in regards to existence.
  
  This is psychology on a frightening level.

If you were to believe in reincarnation then the answer is quite revealing. We choose our parents to learn the lessons necessary to clear our karma. We may have been abusive in a past life, or done some major wrong to one of the parents we choose. We come back to the earth to continue learning the lessons of the earth plane. This explains why so many people suffer in a short life, as they clear the karma fast and can die and come back to an easier lifetime. Or perhaps the parents need to learn the lesson and the soul incarnates to help them along. Whatever the reason, it is clear we are the masters of our fate and can accept life as a victim, or as a survivor.

It is true God made man in his own image to live a good, honest decent life, but everyday we fight evil with good to eliminate evil. I believe it is not God who allows an innocent child to go through abuse or being persecuted by their parents it is the people of the world that allows it. It’s the parents themselves that have morals and ideas that they developed throughout their lives, some have developed good ways of living; whilst other have developed a bad way of living; this is why I said we fight evil with good everyday.

It is these kinds of people in society that go undetected to the rest of world; these are the ones influenced by evil that abuse. Yes it is sad that an innocent child is born to these abusive people, but the innocent Child abused by these people I believe become a messenger of God to spread his word of love to destroy evil. No-one should ever go through Abuse, a child, or an innocent person it takes survivors of abuse I think to spread the word of God to get people to see how wrong this world is becoming. Usable methods need to put in place to detect Abusers of any evil doing that comes to light, but we all live behind closed doors where no-one seems to want to get involved.

I have tried to show why people abuse in my article. Daddy Be Praised. http://hubpages.com/relationships/Daddybepraised

I have faced with the infertility problem. In the silliness of my tender years I went for abortion being 19 years old. And when I got married and we start our thoughts concerning child it emerged that I have a lot of problems with my woman health. For some time, I took some medicines and went through various treatments but that doesn't help much. At the end we understood that only egg donation can save us. So, we started to look for an appropriate clinic. We live in Germany and such procedures as egg donation or surrogacy are banned. That’s why we had to go to the foreign country where such program could be made. We chose Ukraine. Of course you will wonder and ask why Ukraine??? Yes, we also had some hesitations before going to this country. But after studying all the information concerning one Ukrainian clinic and reading a numerous comments we thought that it must be rather a good choice. Price for the program surprised us a lot in comparison with other countries where it is conducted. We paid 7 thousand euro and received two IVF attempts with donor eggs. I was surprised a lot when manager said it is one fixed sum and one red cent more! Driver, accommodation, food, medicines – all these are included in the price 7 thousand euro!

  Hi! Your story is amazing) What is the clinic? You are very lucky to find such conditions. I wasn’t so successful. I practiced donation in Spain. Since I live there, and unfortunately I experience it firsthand. Firstly, I had three IVF attempts with my embryos. But they were not of very good quality and I was offered a donation. Then I made 6 attempts with donated embryos and all were failed. I think you can imagine my desperation. I cried, I thought I was crazy. How is this possible? But when I came to life, I began searching the information. It should also be a cause. I was looking for people with the same problem. And I read about the frozen eggs, that in Spain there are very few donors, thats why they froze the donors eggs. But the horror is that after freezing the implantation rate is reduced to the minimum. I paid for each embryo, which is not really cost anything. Girls, if you want to have children, look for other options, don't go to Spain. I'm also trying to find other options. Take care of yourself and be careful making a choice.

  We have received a great service and welcoming staff of the clinic. Our manager treated us on the highest level. She fluently speaks German and we could communicate free. She helped us in all our needs, told all the details of the program and answered all our questions. Our manager had a great number of clients except us. Nevertheless she gave appropriate attention to us and we were in touch from the very beginning of our medical program and till its end. So what? You will ask))) I am a happy pregnant woman!!! In my case it was needed only two IVF attempts to become happy parents. So, don’t be afraid and go to the Ukrainian clinics of reproductive medicine. We paid only for flights. I was looking for clinics for a long time. Packages, service, conditions and prices are very different. I guess I am very lucky to find Biotexcom clinic. I think you could hear about that clinic. As I know they are very popular among foreigners.
