Pregnancy Info HOME

I have studied the Bible and Christianity in a consevatice Christian school for 10 years and no where in the Bible does it say that women can not show themselves to doctors for medical purposes. All of the verses that you have quoted referring to two becoming one are referring to sex and the things that the doctors are doing do not qualify as sex. When it comes down to it, you can choose to use modern day medicine and get over the fact that there are male doctors or you can choose not to. There are midwives who can also care for your wife throughout the pregnancy and delivery and they use fully female staff. The Bible was written a couple thousand years ago before there was modern gynocological care for women. I'm sure that if Jesus was alive today he would say that your wife's and babies health is the most imporant thing and you should be greatful that the male doctors are able to provide the care that they can. I can guarantee that if anything where to go wrong during the delivery you would be very greatful of a man who was able to save the lives of your wife and child. You can throw a hissy fit about it but no one is going to pay much attention to you becuase the fact of the matter is that there are male OB/GYN's and you can use a hospital for birth and have a male doctor or you can use a midwife. I would beg you to stop trying to justfy your complaints by quoting the Bible becuase the Bible doesn't say anything about male doctors vs female doctors. Your faith should not make you question care for your wife. You might think its not fair but the only thing you can do about it is use a midwife. If your wife has a problem with seeing an gynocologist then she doesn't have to take advantage of modern day medicine. But I would argue the that the Bible tells you that your body is a temple and should be taken care of and cervical cancer is a very common cancer. If you really want to play quote the Bible wars we can but Christianity is not based on legistics and details. Jesus spoke against the Jewish rabbi's of his day who were focused on the details of the rules of thier religion. My suggestion to you would be face the facts and make a choice use male doctors or use a midwife.
