Life is precious and there are many women that want to destroy it on demand because they want to have their sex and kill their unwanted babies too. Since Roe vs Wade was overturned and abortion was placed back into the jurisdiction of the states in accordance to the tenth amendment, a competition between the states has evolved as to who can pass the toughest and the most lenient abortion laws without clear and plainly written exceptions for real and truly health concerns to both the pregnant mother and/or the child. Reminds me of the 50 state’s competition during the 80’s and 90’s with DWI laws pushed by MMADD.

Prostitution is illegal in the US, except Nevada where it’s regulated and taxed, like lottery gambling and a certain herb in most other states now. Prostitution is also legal in a number of other countries. It is defined as sex in exchange for money, goods or other things of value. It is also a service offered by sex slave traders with no regard for the slaves on the for sale list.

Adoption is always an option for those who have fertility issues but there are those who want medical science to intervene and implant their genetic prodigy into an outsourced human incubator. It is called:

Rent-A-Womb

A leading outsourcing destination is India, and now China, but…

Chinese ‘Rent-a-Womb’ Industry Using American Surrogates Could Be Exploited by CCP: Expert

From the article:

The Chinese “rent-a-womb” industry using American surrogates could be exploited by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to The Heritage Foundation researcher Emma Waters.

Commercial surrogacy refers to people who hire another woman to gestate and birth their child for a fee.

According to the expert, according to U.S. birthright citizenship law, any child born in the United States via an American surrogate—even if the child is 100 percent genetically Chinese and its parents are Chinese nationals—will gain the full rights of U.S. citizenship when he or she turns 21 years old.

The child’s parents then become eligible to apply for a Green Card for permanent residency in the United States. In Waters’ opinion, this is a far easier route to gain citizenship than the traditional application process.

“There’s a lot of concerns about how the CCP may use and abuse that connection that they have,” Waters said during an interview with NTD, the sister outlet of The Epoch Times.

“Whether or not the CCP is directly encouraging or condoning this, we have no way of knowing,” she said. “But we do know that it puts these children and their parents very close to U.S. interests and access to education, to insurance. And to … all the benefits of being a U.S. citizen.”

Huge Money-Making Business

According to the researcher, the reproductive industry has seen an uptick trend as it is a “huge money-making business.”

“Commercial surrogacy contracts, especially international ones, can cost upwards of $200,000 to $300,000 per child. And that’s calculating the cost of in vitro fertilization treatments, of actually paying the surrogate herself, of working with clinics, as well as any of the travel fees when it comes to visiting the United States or bringing the child home. So this really does self-select for a special wealthy class of Chinese nationals,” said Waters.

“The reproductive industry is making millions if not billions of dollars annually in the United States, not to mention beyond that.”

The business is also lucrative for Chinese clinics in the United States as well, she noted.

“When it comes to connecting Chinese interests, there’s a lot of money here with Chinese citizens actually working at some of these fertility clinics in the United States. So they either have employment ties, residency ties, or education ties to China.”…

One good question is:

Why would the two most densely populated countries on earth offer rent-a-womb services?

&

What about Citizenship and Market Share?

The surrogate mother option, sometimes called “rent-a-womb,” has caused far more legal difficulties and provoked greater emotional concern than sperm or egg donation. In the U.S., not all states allow surrogacy, but those that do, support a huge industry which caters to both domestic and international clients.

Most States Allow Surrogacy

Surrogacy and the Rights of the Child

Is renting the womb without sex a form of prostitution or something else?

Was there “Surrogate Mothers” in the Bible?

What Is a Concubine? Why Did God Allow Men to Take Concubines in the Bible?

From the article:

In the Bible, a concubine was a woman acquired by a man as a secondary wife. Her purpose was to provide a male heir in the case of a barren wife, to provide more children in general to enhance the family’s workforce and wealth, and to satisfy the man’s sexual desires. A concubine was endowed with rights and protections by Hebrew law but was not equal in status to a wife….

…Names and Stories of Concubines in the Bible

These provisions in the law were meant to protect concubines from further oppression, but the Bible records a few stories about the reality concubines and wives experienced.

1. Hagar was Sarah’s handmaid. Her story is recorded in Genesis 16:1-16 and Genesis 21:9-21. Sarah did not trust God to provide a son in his perfect timing, so Sarah gave Hagar to her husband Abraham to have a child. Hagar was hurt by this decision, as was Sarah.

2. Keturah became Abraham’s second wife after Sarah died. She is recorded as a wife in Genesis 25:1 but is recorded as a concubine in I Chronicles 1:32. Genesis 25:6 suggests that Keturah was Abraham’s concubine.

3. The Concubine of Gibeah is unnamed in the Bible. Her heartbreaking story is recorded in Judges 19-21.

After this woman reconciled with her husband, she left her father’s house with him to travel back to their home in another city. On the way, they stayed the night in Gibeah, and a crowd of “wicked men surrounded the house. Pounding on the door,” (Judges 19:22) they demanded sexual relations with the new man in town – the concubine’s husband. They would not relent, so he “took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go” (Judges 19:25). In the morning, she found her way to the front door of the house and died there.

4. Rizpah was a concubine of King Saul. Her story is recorded in 2 Samuel 3:7-11. Abner, a rival to King Saul’s throne, slept with Rizpah and defiled her. Ellicott’s commentary explains the political significance of Abner’s act:

“The harem of an Eastern monarch was considered as the property of his successor, and therefore the taking of a woman belonging to it as the assertion of a claim to the throne.”

5. 10 Concubines are King David’s unnamed concubines. They are mentioned in 2 Samuel 15:16, 2 Samuel 16:22, and 2 Samuel 20:3. These 10 women were also sexually violated by a political rival to the throne, Absolom.

6. 300 Concubines are the unnamed concubines of King Solomon. They are recorded in 1 Kings 11:1-8. Not much is known about the stories of these 300 women. But one can imagine the relational neglect and emotional turmoil of sharing a husband with 299 other concubines and 700 wives. This marital model is a far cry from God’s design in Eden.

More concubines are mentioned in the Old Testament: 1 Chronicles 1:32, 1 Chronicles 2:46, 1 Chronicles 2:48, 1 Chronicles 7:14, and 2 Chronicles 11:21.

Why Did God Allow Men to Take Women as Concubines? Things to Keep in Mind

Why didn’t God step in to say this practice is harmful and should not be done by God’s people? The Bible isn’t specific about why God allowed his people to continue in sinful systems like this.

We see God’s dream for human flourishing in the Garden of Eden with family, work, and relationship with him. But since the first human chose sin over God’s good way, humanity chose more and more sin that affected these ideals God approved of and set in motion. 

Poverty was not part of God’s dream, but because human life now involved sin, God made laws (Deuteronomy 15:1-18) to protect the poor from further oppression, knowing a sinful world would always include poverty (Deuteronomy 15:11, John 12:8).

Concubinage was not part of God’s dream, but because human life now involved sin, God made laws to protect vulnerable women from further oppression, knowing a sinful world would always include broken relationships between men and women.

Here are 2 other things to keep in mind while exploring this question:

1. God did not approve of marriage to involve concubines.

The fact that legal provisions were made for concubines does not mean that God approved of this marital model….

This article didn’t mention the second seven years Jacob served out of twenty in which both his wives gave their handmaids for concubines. (Genesis 29:9 thru 31:42)

Genesis 2:18-25

(KJV) And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs (H6763), and closed up (5462) the flesh (H1320) instead thereof (H8478); 

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave (H1692) unto his wife: and they shall be one (H259) flesh (H1320). And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Back to…Hum?

From Missing Links, Chapter II:

The word “ribs” is from the Hebrew prime word tsala, which means curved as in one-sided. Does that not resemble the loop-shaped chromosome that contains the genetic information of human DNA – the code of life? A chromosome pair was split as in fission, but not self-induced. Human chromosome number 2 is two that were fused together (fusion). This intelligently controlled fusion explains the phrase closed-up the flesh instead thereof. (biological fusion)

The members of the ape family have 24 pairs of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs. No fused chromosomes exist within the ape family. The fusing of two human chromosomes has caused many evolutionists to claim it as evidence that man evolved from or with apes but cannot explain how or why they became fused. The fact that chromosomes are counted as pairs means that the total number in all living organisms must be divisible by two. Are there any species on the planet with X½ pairs? Viruses exist with single and double strands of DNA or RNA, but many biologists debate if they are indeed alive. Like parasites they need a host to reproduce, but can remain proactive for a period of time outside a host.

If we do some simple arithmetic, we may learn something! When Yehovah Elohiym took one of Adam’s chromosomes, it left 47, which cannot be evenly divided by two. When He “closed up the flesh instead thereof,” it fused two chromosomes and Adam had 46. Eve was genetically duplicated from a single chromosome to be Adam’s sexual counterpart.

Yehovah Elohiym is the Logos and son of El, who is the Theos. Elohiym is a single atomic nucleus (Theos/Logos) and in their image and likeness, mankind is a single adamic nucleus (man/woman). Both are two separate entities, but one unity (family nucleus). The purpose of Elohiym (Theos/Logos) is the work of creation. The purpose of adam (man/woman) is procreation. [Marriage] Could the Ultimate Goal of The Universal Master Plan be the building of an energy-mass (matter) family through the light? What happened to the rebellious Helyel?…

And Adam said, chromosome of my chromosomes, DNA of my DNA…

Luke 16:14-18

KJV^(i) 14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. ¹⁵ And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. ¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. ¹⁷ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. ¹⁸ Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

Matthew 5:31-32

KJV^(i) 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: ³² But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Mark 10:2-12

KJV^(i) 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. ³ And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? ⁴ And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. ⁵ And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. ⁶ But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. ⁷ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; ⁸ And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. ⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. ¹⁰ And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. ¹¹ And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. ¹² And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Matthew 22:23-32

KJV^(i) 23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, ²⁴ Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. ²⁵ Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: ²⁶ Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. ²⁷ And last of all the woman died also. ²⁸ Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. ²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. ³¹ But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, ³² I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Revelation 21:23-27

KJV^(i) 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. ²⁴ And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. ²⁵ And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. ²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. ²⁷ And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

What will be the glory and honor of the nations in the new heaven and the new earth?
