It seems I misread the original intent of your post. So I stand corrected.
However,
this is incorrect. To be fair, I put Lalas on ignore pretty early in this thread when i realized he was trolling.
I have LONG pm's from him and honestly his English is difficult to understand. He chastised me in pm when I was agreeing with him... Instead of trying to figure out what he's saying, much less argue with him, it's better for me to just block him. I could be wrong, but life is too short entertaining everyone who disagrees.
I am getting tired of beating this dead horse, but you do realize for 4000 - 50k years (however old mankind is). Child marriage has been the absolute norm?
Why don't you research when "18" became the standard? Because it wasn't in your great grandpa's days.
All the "$cience" you are relating in that post is part of the agenda to push marriage off late as possible, essentially killing it altogether, as 30-year-olds don't even want to get married today. While making fornication extremely easy, accessible and encouraged.
Just look at the state of the world today. Every ask why its like this? Idk if you noticed but abortions were not an epidemic 200 years ago like they are today. According to global statistics, 74 million are euthanized every single year!
That is insane, it's more people than entire countries. I live in Houston, TX. A large city with about 5 million people. Every year, my city is obliterated 15x over, according to abortion statistics. People just can't fathom the damage that is being done and propagated, even by alleged Christians.
I've had one recently tell me she prefers her own daughter come home with a bastard child in her belly, then for her daughter to marry the father before they are 18.
The world has gone insane and prophecy is being fulfilled. KNOWLEDGE is being removed.
I believe we have a Designer and if it was harmful to have kids at younger ages, then we never would have been given this ability.
Why is pork forbidden, even in the Bible? Why is alcohol forbidden? Why is it forbidden to eat carrion (dead animals)?
All of these and more are forbidden because they
Bring Harm to the human.
God set these rules and at the same time, He not only gave mankind the ability to start families young. It's been the norm for many millennia, so no. I don't agree
its conducive to higher maternal mortality.
