Are children born out of wedlock is still a blessing from God?

[Perosky1984]

First and foremost i want to explain the meaning of "Children born out of Wedlock". It simply means a means a child born out of marriage.
So by this explanation it shows that 60% of us here were born out of wedlock. In most cases, those children are the ones that triggered their father to pay their mothers dowry. If not for them the man is not even ready to pay anything yet.
But in Africa we begin to view such children as illegitimate child. But the big question is that does God also view that child as illegitimate? I think the answer is no. Because if God sees that child as illegitimate then He will not bless that child. Then if so who are you to call a gift of God as illegitimate. They are denied access to their fathers wealth. But i bet you to do research very well you will see that most of our successful people in society are children born out of wedlock. I dont want to mention names but you that is reading this, are you not doing well for yourself? Abi Dem Born you for inside Marriage? What about those who waited to be married before they will start having kids and ends up not having one. It is only God who has program this life the way it is.
Africans should learn to accommodate every child who is their blood. Most married men are taking care of other people's kids as a result of their wife's infidelity. Is it not better to have my own child out of wedlock than to have another man's child in my house.

In our World, it's actually unlawful(a sin) to procreate outside of marriage but that doesn't mean the children should be hated or not cared for.
If you conceive and give birth in sin, the child will mostly be contaminated by that sin, become unstable and owned by an evil entity that cannot be seen. But only True Baptism of our LORD  can save or deliver the child.

In regards to inheritance, that will depend on a child's gender. The female inherits the husband properties while the male inherits the fathers'. A child who is considered illegitimate may still be entitled to inheritance if he is more attached to the father and loves him and his family. Besides he bears his father's surname name and he should atleast be entitled to the rights of an adopted son. All these will become easy if the child is changed for good through the Word of the CREATOR otherwise you should be mindful of his/her instability. Such children becoming successful, maybe financially, doesn't really matter much especially if the success isn't clean. What matters most is good characters or behaviors of the children.

God spoke the universe into existence. Even with all the trouble we have here in this life, the universe is still perfect. It's perfect because Jesus upheld the perfection by His sacrifice on the cross.

The only thing a newborn knows is the forming of himself that has been done by God in Mommy's tummy. So, he has great faith in God. Once he is in the world for a while, he is distracted by all the stuff his senses feed him, and he forgets the God who used the physics of the universe to put him together in Mommy's tummy.

God loves all the little children, even the ones who are 100 years old.

It’s 2024, we are not in the Stone Ages, the acceptance of children born out of wedlock has evolved. Society has become more inclusive & understanding of different family structures. Traditional views still exist but most people by recognise that the legitimacy of a child should not be determined solely by the marital status of their parents. The well being & love provided by parents are crucial in shaping a child's upbringing regardless of their marital status.

[darkangel11]

My parents used to think so.
They were both Catholic and religion was a big part of their lives, but they were both unhappily married. My father's first wife couldn't bear children and they didn't know that before marriage. My mother could, but her first husband had anger issues and would beat her, so they both divorced and got together, but they couldn't get married again, as the Church doesn't allow people to divorce. In the eyes of priests they were still legally married to their first spouses when they were making me... Long story short, I was recognized as "legit" by the Church and I have my father's name. My parents stayed together until my mother died a few years ago, so I guess that if it wasn't real love, it had to be something else, like dedication. Shouldn't that be encouraged by God?
People make mistakes, but what matters is if they are good, if they try to be good. IMO my parents were good people and they wanted to have a child together because they loved each other. That's an act worth a blessing, am I right?

Do not get the religious bullshit get into your head. Religion is just something man made, and it was used to divide and rule some very strong and united societies. Unfortunately, the whole thing has stuck around to this date.

But in Africa we begin to view such children as illegitimate child. But the big question is that does God also view that child as illegitimate? I think the answer is no. Because if God sees that child as illegitimate then He will not bless that child.

From this, I gather that you might be from Africa. If I may ask, before the European colonizers invaded your land by first sending the Missionaries and their religions. Should we say all your Great Great Great forefathers who were born out of "wedlocks" were all illegitimate?

That's a rather silly religion you have there.     

[passwordnow]

While it has become a norm for many countries to have people born their children outside the marriage. That's fine, for them as long as they can provide for their children. Because if it's outside then they cannot, that's the harder part of it. On most religious law, it's forbidden to have children outside marriage but can they stop the curiosity of these people to just do what they wanna do and it bear fruit afterwards?

We can just take that any form that has a life is a blessing from above. But not all of it are actually blessing because you know, there are intimate relationships that shouldn't be made because one or the other is already tied with a partner. You know what I am saying? And that's why it's up to the people seeing the situation to judge them but with that, it's better not to judge anyone especially if you're a religious person as that's what the teachings said. So confusing, right? But just be the better person with these matters.

The thing is that God regards all humans as equal and at most marriage institutions were established in this world but childbirth is divine,  although legitimate childbearing is mostly acclaimed by society and not divine from God because God is only interested in the human nature and how he left his life on earth and if God does regards marriage so much,  he would have not given unmarried people children and only allow those who have legally married to have a child alone.

But today you find some married couples with long years of childlessness while unwanted pregnancy and children born out of wedlock flood every corner of our today's society, this points to the fact that God chose to give a life to whoever is engaging in sexual intercourse irrespective of their marital status.

This is an important question that is beyond human thinking and that is why I come with all the proof to back my claim. I don't think it a blessing from God. But still go through this link pls gradually.

Are children born out of wedlock is still a blessing from God?

It should be noted that children conceived out of wedlock are automatically entitled to inherit from their deceased mother but not automatically from their deceased father. A child born out of wedlock is disqualified from inheriting from his or her deceased father as an intestate beneficiary in terms of Islamic law.
21 It should be noted that it is possible for a child born in wedlock not to inherit from his father if he was conceived out of wedlock. Islamic law looks at the moment of conception and not the moment of birth.

Children born out of wedlock are children born as a result of body relations outside of legal marriage according to religion.
Because basically this child is not wrong about what his parents are doing. This child can still be a blessing for his parents who can accept the presence of this child. Because the child is outdated out of marriage, it is still a sacred man and is clean from sin. This child also has the same rights and obligations as other children, especially worshiping God. This child can also be a child who obeys God, can enter heaven if they believe, can help their parents if they pray or give alms on their behalf.

Children are innocent and shouldn't be made to face the consequences of the decisions of their parents regards getting married legally, they deserve all the love and affection from the parents and respect in the society, born out of wedlock should not deter anybody from achieving greatness in life. Marriage is important, and it mainly implies in religion and tradition, in this age some some couples can decide to stay together and have children without getting legally married, and these children will inherit their wealth.

In your own case your parents couldn't get married because of the laws of the church, yet they loved each other and raised you well, so God, loves you and because he created you in his image, that means that you're entitled to His blessings, despite what the laws of religion and tradition says

[Y3shot]

Children are always innocent,  they know nothing about what parents have done before they came to the world. Every child is a blessing and the sin of a mother or the father can't affect the child because the child knows nothing . One thing I know about life is that we all will give account to the sin we make and it can be transferred to the child.  The father will bear the consequences of his sin, and same thing with mother. As the child is coming up, he will also bear his own sin and can't be transferred to the parents.

children born out of wedlock are very much blessings from God. It doesn't mean because they are born out of wedlock they aren't. It's just the different thinking of people. I'll say many of us born are out of wedlock. But the bible doesn't see it like that. Because every child born out of wedlock is a blessing because God doesn't reject them because of their parents sin rather he accepts and blesses them wholeheartedly because they are innocent and had no knowledge of their parents misdeeds. After all we see in the bible king Solomon was born out of wedlock from his father David who took another man's wife. But God still blessed him as the wisest and richest king in the bible. So for that every child born is a blessing.

[btc78]

those children are the ones that triggered their father to pay their mothers dowry. If not for them the man is not even ready to pay anything yet.

The parents’ unreadiness is not at all the child’s fault. If they were not ready then they should not have engaged in such activities. I believe that God sees as all equal and loves us regardless of our titles or names. But in the society, a child born out of wedlock would be treated differently based on the context.

Was the child born because his or her parents were not yet married or because one of the parents were already married to someone else? If it is the latter then it is indeed a different story altogether. Of course it is considered taboo in our society and it is even illegal but the child should not pay for his or her parents’ sins.

I think that being born out or inside of wedlock does not determine one’s future. A child born out of wedlock might face some challenges but so does the child born inside of wedlock. It all depends on what kind of parents the child has and how the child was raised.

[blckhawk]

Well, it's not their fault they've been born out of wedlock, their parents will always be at fault and to some extent, the society that they're living in because if they weren't raised in a society that scorns and mocks children and people that's involved in such a complicated relationship then we won't see this mindset of whether something is a blessing or not.

[Dunamisx]

Children will always be children even though they are born in marriage or out of wedlock, only those that will be responsible for them are the parents, all children are from God and no man has ever made a bit success in trying to create one, so they are supernatural gift from God, but we must not engage in illicit means of giving birth to this children because they will be innocent on this and we are going to be accountable on them.

[Frankolala]

OP, I don't know the country that you are from because I don't think that any child born out of wedlock would be abandoned or deprived his rights as member of the family. Religion do not also critize or forbid children born out of wedlock, we are now in a civilized society that it is not compulsory for people to get married first before they can give birth. Sometimes, the pregnancy was something that was not planned for but because they don't want to abort the baby, and they decided to keep the pregnancy, till the child is been given birth to. Sometimes, it is after the child has been given birth to that the parents will start preparing themselves for the wedding. It is when the parents are not concerned about their cohabitation that it might end up becoming a shame to them at old age for not getting married the proper way.

I have seen some people that they don't have money to start up a family in the right way, but after they have give birth to one child or tow children, there will be open doors of blessing to them due to the luck of the child or children, and the family will become rich and the needful would be done. From my traditional as long as you are the first male child, either through wedlock or not, he will be the heir to the throne. Children are gift from God, and we don't know the one that will finally be the pillar of the family.

[Volimack]

Through marriage people give birth to children it is a blessing from God. It is never a man made thing. There are many married couples who try hard but are unable to give birth to children. It is never possible without God's will we should express our gratitude to God for the best gift that God has given us children. Many people get involved illegally and give birth to children but it is a big crime. It is better to think about the society and choose the right way.

[bluebit25]

Is the topic really relevant here?

But I will still answer you, OP, how do you understand God. And if I understand this quote correctly, then you are actually wrong about the issue being raised, but it is understandable that the lack of language leads to your confusion.

(...)So by this explanation it shows that 60% of us here were born out of wedlock.

And I want to tell the OP, really the concept of God that you know and understand is only through social standard prejudices, and when you realize God exists everywhere and there is no distinction. Your question is a part of God. And to make things clearer, every species is a part of God, even you and me. I do not direct you to any character in terms of the ability to create it all, because that is the limit that people misunderstand.

I remember a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6AHcv19NIc
Hope you can feel some of the problem, after all I'm not a religious person at all, but I understand the messages they mentioned. Even looking at other religions, the answer will still be the same. However, I still want to say that hopefully we will be able to discuss issues outside the scope of social knowledge in appropriate places.
