There childbirth without pain?
Friends readers, I'm on vacation and gave me a book to read, by the way very interesting, Harold Reimer, entitled the "Poking" - What the Churches and Bible condemns tolerate ... The whole book is very interesting, each chapter the author discusses current issues with a vision and biblical and poking our thoughts and sometimes even our attitudes, so very interested in Chapter 3, I will try to summarize it here on this post. Read .. is very interesting, if anyone wants to read other issue buy the book, I liked muitooo ...
Genesis is the book of beginnings, and chapter three gives us the story of the first sin. This sin has brought us to the consequences of man "the punishment is to work hard to earn our daily bread" and the woman God said: "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy pregnancy; in the midst of sorrow thou shalt bring forth children" (Gn.3.16) .
The author cites several studies among them and explains that modern science has done much to develop new resources, so that mothers no longer have pain in childbirth, but still can not give birth without pain. It seems that God is insisting that his decision to remain standing. But we must remember that the Bible also says, "When a woman is to give birth, has sorrow because her hour is come, but after his birth the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that must have been born into the world one man, "the pleasure of having a child meets the pain experienced in childbirth. But the interesting chapter from friends, is that the author makes an analogy between physical birth and spiritual birth. The author explains that just as the medicine works to reduce or annul the pain of childbirth, so new to theologians and pastors say that the spiritual birth can also be done without pain, and may be even more fun. They say that just a "chat" legal form a group and sing some songs and cool, or invite your friend to a meeting of youth and lively and if you like it if you agree, if he "accept Christ" ... ZAZ! Aleluluia! Another child to the family of God. Easy. Fun! No pain!
The author says that, this increases the spiritual abortions. It states that as a woman can not have children without pain, believes it is impossible to bring sinners to Christ's light without suffering. Evangelizing is not "Picnic" is not a lark, is not wholesome entertainment for Sunday afternoons, but a responsibility and a privilege to be accompanied by suffering, but also rewarded with great joy. The author cites Paul in Philippians 1:29 "For I was given the grace to suffer for Christ and not only to believe in Him ..." and cites what Christ said in John. 16:20-22, "Verily, verily I say unto you weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, the your heart shall rejoice and your joy no one will take. "
Here comes the part that is really interesting in my view, what are the sufferings of the believer ... labor pains?
- Passion for Souls: If we walk in the streets, in school, in clubs, dore without feeling compassion for lost souls, probably will not have the pleasure of having a "son". Jesus looked over Jerusalem and wept: It would be easier to say "I have my own problems and that each turn. If the world is lost, his problem." Thinking thus, we could avoid the pain of compassion, but we would never have children (spiritual), or avoid the pain, but do not generate ...
- Prayer: Prayer is not always pain, but when it is necessary to intercede for someone or a nation incessantly becomes a pain, spent time, and sometimes a lot of time on my knees, can not be fun, but it is necessary to give children the Light. How many fathers and mothers pray many, many years for sons, husbands, wives, becoming in pain, but joy comes in the end.
- Another pain is to take the Cross: This is not picnic. Nero, in the first century, once crucified 5,000 Jewish believers. Can not imagine these believers commenting on each other: "Come attend the meeting tomorrow ... will be pretty cool. Each person who will come tomorrow to win a cross and can, itself, take it to the cemetery. Will be fun as hell! Do not miss. " No, the cross means means pain and death. Jesus gave us orders to take up our cross ... and it also means pain and death. Pain is the rejection. Christ was rejected by the society of his time and if you want to have spirit children also have to endure the pain of rejection. This is because Christ and the world are opposites. If you want to lead someone to Christ, need to leave the world, but if you're so passionate about the world and not feel the pain of being separated from him, then you can not have "children." The modern idea of identifying with the world, to win it is flawed ... And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect God's will. Romans 12:2, adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. James 4:4 ... Being rejected, do not have many friends, be considered a little odd or a fanatic, of course it hurts, but are labor pains, necessary, but soon forgotten when you see the child is born ...
The author also says the last necessary pain, which is to endure pain, fatigue and tiredness from long hours of hard work and quotes Psalm 126.5-6 to finish the chapter ... They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Whoever takes the precious seed, going and weeping, again, no doubt, with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalm 126:5-6

An excellent wife who can find?
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in, so that he no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of his life.
She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
As the merchant ship, she brings her food from afar.
He gets up, even at night to feed to the house, and distribute the task of the handmaids.
She considers a field and buys it; plant a vineyard with the fruit of her hands.
Gird your loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
He sees that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
Extends her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She opens her hand to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
Not afraid of snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry, her clothing is silk and purple.(Proverbs 31 10-22)
