Can a bastard child be saved? | Thread profile

What's your opinion? Does God's decision lay on the actions of the parents that created a bastard child, born outside of marriage? And if not...why not? And if so...why so? I'm curious. Not that my kids are...as mine were born from a marriage. But I know others who have kids out of wedlock. Born from no marriage of husband and wife. Only a mother. Can these kids make it? Like ...

Wow. I am curious to know why parenthood status would have anything to do with one being saved or not. Last edited on Mon Oct 6th, 2008 11:59 am by Danokan

I am baffled too. Being saved is a personal, one to one journey. Nothing to do with being born in or out of wedlock.

I am sorry to be so blunt. Where would you ever get a ridiculous idea like that? Sorry, there may be some stuff about being a bastard in the old Testament. I do not know much about it though. But your question is not logical as even if sin were put on a child from the parent, even IF that were true, belief in Christ erases ALL sin. Do you believe Jesus died for only some sin...

Sorry I did not mean to be rude. I was just astounded at the question but maybe it is good to talk about it because there may be people who do think this way. There is no such thing as a stupid question, and I do apologize. Last edited on Mon Oct 6th, 2008 02:50 pm by Bently

I am a living witness ... the Syrophenician Woman and child should be a good example to you...in that she and her child had no right or access to Jesus, since he was sent exclusively to the Jews...he told her it is not meet to take bread from the children and give it to dogs. She said truth Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs from the childrens table...He responded , woman, ...

Weren't we all bastard children in someway before we accepted Christ? We were all born into a world that would teach us things that oppose what our one true Father would teach us. We were all born outside of the marriage to Jesus. Yes a physically born bastard child can be saved. But being saved is to be born again to the true Father of whose seed is planted within the heart....

Two great answers.

All bastards can be saved, whether they were born in or out of wedlock.

ALL are the children of God.
