As a dad-to-be, THIS POST concerning birth defects affected me more than I though it would. Before reading it, remember that the blog I am pointing you too is written by an outspoken Christian-turned-atheist, and has no reflection on my views.
After reading it, I’d love to hear your opinion: God & birth defects? As a Christian, I want to scream NO, but there is a silent, insecure part of me that feels unstable when it comes to such a traumatic issue as this.
How do we handle these verses from scripture?
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb. — Psalm 139:13
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” — Jeremiah 1:4-5
Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? — Job 10:8-9
