Thread: Did God Cause Women to Have Pain in Child Birth?

    Did God Cause Women to Have Pain in Child Birth?

    Did God Cause Women to Have Pain in Child Birth?

    Did God Cause Women to Have Pain in Child Birth?-genesis3_16-childbirth2-jpg

    Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Genesis 3:16)

    The Context Group Version is indicative of how many modern translations render this passage: "I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception; in pain you shall produce sons." Basically, the way Genesis 3:16 is rendered in most translations, we are led to believe that, due to Eve's transgression, God personally punished her by ensuring that she (and all women afterwards) would suffer pain and agony when having babies.

    The Automatic Consequences of Sin

    The idea that God personally ensured that the woman would have pain in bearing children makes God appear to be vindictive. God who told us that loving those who choose to do us harm is acting as He would act (Matthew 5:43-48; Luke 6:27-36). Furthermore, He left us an example to follow (Luke 23:33-34; 1 Peter 2:21-23). Would this same God had behaved differently in the Garden of Eden by immediately afflicting pain upon Eve because she wronged Him? The answer is an emphatic "No!"

    How would you explain it for those women who don't experience any pain in childbirth? I have personally known a few women in my lifetime who experience no pain in childbirth.

    I would explain that it is like any other aspect of the curse that came upon mankind after the fall. Not everyone experiences the effects of it equally or at all. Every negative thing that we experience in life starts with the fall and death being released in the earth, but not all of us suffer everything that death entails. Some due to standing in faith on certain Biblical promises, some because they eat healthy and exercises and others due to being blessed with a better physical constitution.

    The main thing is that God should never be blamed for anything negative experienced by mankind. We did this to ourselves.

    There's a church out here near where my sister lives that does not allow their babies to be born at a hospital. They have a midwife in the church that delivers all the babies at home. I'm not sure why, but my sister said the people are very strange and withdrawn. Cult like. They don't believe in C sections because a woman is supposed to suffer (no kidding) because of what Eve did to mankind. We've heard they've had a few deaths as a result.

    It's crazy all the nutty things people do in the name of religion trying to live out their false doctrine. Some of them may be saved but they're still in bondage.

    This is the kind of stuff that has always given the faith and healing message a bad name. Outside of the misunderstanding that God would personally ordain that women to suffer, the fact that we would believe that God is so harsh He would forbid one to have any medical relief whatsoever paints a false picture of a harsh sadistic deity who seems to get a perverted delight from the pain of childbirth.

    Paul told Timothy to "Take a little wine, for your stomach's sake"

    Amen to that R828. God is not against us using natural means to relieve pain and discomfort.

    On a side note, one preacher referring to that Scripture said, "Every drunk in town seems to be able to quote that Scripture"
