Are these "Christians" forgetting that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was, herself, an unwed, pregnant teenager? Are they forgetting how,even though she could very well have been stoned to death for such a thing, God instead asked Joseph to accept her state, because she was truly BLESSED among women? If God put so much weight on a woman *having* to be married before having children, would he not have waited until Mary and Joseph had wed before begetting Jesus in her womb? Now, I know what some of you may be thinking, yup, it's Misty the Catholic putting so much weight on the Blessed Virgin for her example of why true Christians would not turn their backs on a pregnant teenager (and in fact, THROW HER OUT OF HER CHRISTIAN SCHOOL!!) So here you go, maybe an example more of you can relate to.
Do you think Jesus would turn his back on this girl, or any pregnant teenager? Do you think that He who took his company with lepers and whores and the poorest of the poor would turn this girl away? The Jesus who loved everyone, and even showed love to the tax collectors, loving them into the faith? Would he throw the young girl out of his company? I think not. And if you think so, maybe you should go back and re-read the Bible, for I fear you may have lost sight of the Truth whilst concerning yourself too much with being the judge of others.
I, as the only thing I feel I can offer this girl, offered to be her labor and post-partum doula for free. God gave me a wonderful gift of being there for women in childbirth, and I will help her any way that I can.
Please do not take this as a Christian bashing blog. If you do take it that way perhaps you should take a good hard look at yourself, because it isn't I who made you feel insulted by this post.
