Thank you for all the advice you’ve given me. I am now able to stop my lust for fornication, thanks to God Almighty. Thanks to the peace and love of Christ that has recently grown in me, I’ve seen the need for me to keep the child. But yesterday the woman called and told me she can’t keep the child. I see it very wrong to abort the pregnancy. Please, sir, what should I do if she still persists?<\/p>\n
God bless you.<\/p>\n\t
The consequence of getting a woman pregnant to whom you are not married is that you have no control or say over what she decides to do. To commit fornication is wrong,\u00a0 to kill the child is wrong, but you won’t be able to stop her from committing this murder if she chooses to do so. All you can do is encourage her to do right and choose to do right yourself.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
