Do you have any links to Jesus verses in line with antinatalism? That'd be great!

Thanks, I love the lines from Ecclesiastes about the best thing being to have never been born! But do you have any pointers to Jesus reflecting antinatalism? (Ecclesiastes is pre-Jesus)

Well just look at Jesus's life as it is portrayed in the canonical gospels. He did not marry. He did not breed. He didn't even engage in sex. The Apostle Paul was the same way. He wrote in his epistles to followers not to get married, don't even touch a woman

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’

Don't take the above verses literally. They still say the same thing. Hate your mother and father, etc. Blessed are the childless women. Basically, starting a family is not the way to go if you want to create peace on earth.
