This is just a personal observation, but seems reasonable to me. When God created the living things of the earth, the Bible tells us that he blessed them and said to them to be fruitful and multiply. I don't believe this was in the form of a commandment, but just a nature that he put into His creatures. He didn't go to each of His creatures, and whisper in their ear, "Horse, multiply; dog, multiply; cow, multiply; etc.…". It was simply a nature that he endowed them with to do this, not a commandment. Man was blessed and endowed with the same nature, and it is man who corrupted the blessing by using it in perverted ways. Just my humble opinion. Andy |
