If a woman gets pregnant before marriage and gets an abortion, she is shamed. If she keeps the baby, she is shamed. We should show love and support and see this story for what it is: a mother and father who love each other, and love their child, which is more than many have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-29227111431870247242018-03-30T07:00:13.970-05:002018-03-30T07:00:13.970-05:00Yup I had our son out of wed lock,and I do regret ...Yup I had our son out of wed lock,and I do regret it.

Assuming she committed the sin of lying, to me, goes beyond that. <br /><br />I also recall some people once claimed Jinger was immodest because she wore heavy makeup. I've noticed her makeup looks a lot more natural after marriage. Yet no one is asking why she changed her mind about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-18811676065169647562018-03-29T14:41:10.280-05:002018-03-29T14:41:10.280-05:00Jesus never said not to judge but He did warn us t...Jesus never said not to judge but He did warn us that He will judge us the way we judge others.

I can think of MANY good Christian women who wear pants.<br /><br />Indeed, not even the Duggars themselves hold to such an extreme opinion; see a recently posted pic of Jill and Jessa wearing ski PANTS in 2011. Or of the yet unmarried Jana wearing board SHORTS during Joe and Kendra's bachelor/ette party.<br /><br />It also used to be considered immodest to show ANY bare leg whatsoever so the Duggars wearing knee length skirts would not be considered modest by social standards of 1890. <br /><br />There are also many Christians who believe makeup is immodest. Some think it's immodest for a woman not to cover their head, at least in church. The Duggars obviously don't believe that. And there's all sorts of arguments here about whether what they wear during pregnancy is modest or not.<br /><br />Modesty is certainly a virtue but there is far from any consensus on what a modest dress code actually is. Just because a woman wears pants or lets her knees show or whatever, does NOT mean she doesn't care about modesty at all. Or that's she's a liar if she says she does.<br /><br />It's like Christ's command to feed the poor. Many Christians have different opinions on how best to do that. It doesn't mean that people who don't support a particular government program to help the poor, don't care about the poor at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-24938349808486624852018-03-29T10:24:40.647-05:002018-03-29T10:24:40.647-05:008:39..

Neither were previously married, but that’s about our only exclusion. As Christians we have no issues with our pasts, haven’t left pieces of our hearts or bodies floating around with several other people, because IT HAS PASSED. While I completely believe being virgins on your wedding night is God’s best plan, it certainly does not guarantee purity. Anna was convinced she was saved from facing sexual immorality..that being joyfully available 24/7 would prevent infidelity etc., but that didn’t happen. However, with the forgiveness of Christ and His cleansing Blood she and Josh can be just as pure as if it never happened. @6;44. I hope for beautiful blessings on you, your baby, and future husband and marriage. With the Lord all things become new!

But God has called the followers of Him to dress as a peculiar people, to have a becoming modest way about them.

Jinger used to be edging towards oompah loompah land with the fake tan, since marrying she has thankfully stopped, toned down the make up (especially the eyeliner) and of course her fashion sense has improved (although she always had a nice style all her own), she has blossomed into a wee beauty! She has a happy pregnancy glow in this picture, and her outfit is young and cute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-11600628659014339862018-03-28T13:57:48.291-05:002018-03-28T13:57:48.291-05:00I thought they were using that spray tanner.

After all, the Bible says we shall know them By their fruits. However, we do not have the right to condemn someone. Only God can do that. But there are times we do have to judge someone because of their behavior and outward actions. It’s natural. But that doesn’t mean we forgo Gods Commandments in doing so. We must weigh the facts carefully and try to make unbiased decisions.
