    Contraception and Homosexuality

    Does anyone know of any resources or studies linking rising homosexuality rates to an increased use of contraception? To me the logical trail seems evident. Intercourse while not allowing the seed to reach the egg is only one step away from self pleasure and self pleasure is only one step away...

    Is contraception sinful according to Genesis 38?

    Hello! In Genesis 38, Er had a wife named Tamar. Because he was wicked, God killed him (v. 7). According to the customs of the time, Er's brother, Onan, should enter a levirate marriage with her to produce offspring continuing his brother's line (v. 8). He knew the offspring wouldn't be his...

    *The article is not Pro-Choice at all!* 192. The Inconvenient Truth Many Pro-Lifers Don’t Want to Face - The Cor Project A friend shared this article with me. Even though it is Roman Catholic, I found it interesting, especially since the Orthodox Church also does not believe in contraception...

    Eastern Orthodox on Contraception

    We seemed to have some fun last week when I asked and compared Coptic prayer of the hours to the EO, so I figured I would try something similar on a social issue. Years ago, I got some conflicting information about the Eastern Orthodox take on birth control (in marriage). 1) Before I was...

    Have Christians being too tolerant of contraceptives?

    I feel that this applies manly to Protestants since neither Catholics nor Orthodox have high views of it. Isn't Birth Control a sin?

    A debate on when the "One Flesh" union occurs, it's effects, and meaning.

    In this debate, I will attempt to prove that while fornication is a sin, it does not necessarily equate to a union of the flesh and what does achieve that union is the irreversible transfer of genetic materiel, its efficacy, and its consequences. To do this, I will run through 5 points: 1. What...

    As regular readers of the TLT sub-forum know, I am attempting to work my way through a book written in the late 70s called "Does Sin Change?" by Father Sean Fagan, Society of Mary. I promised to start some threads on topics from or related to the reading as I progressed. This is actually a very...

    A Vatican Commision Found That Contraception is Not Intrinsically Evil

    Not exactly breaking news, but I am not sure all Catholics are aware of this. A lot of time has been spent trying to, not so much cover it up, but just to leave it out of historical accounts of contraception and the Church when the subject is discussed: Excerpted from: Facing up to Spiritual...

    The Truth about Sex

    I recently put together this video talking about the reasoning behind why certain sexual acts (such as homosexuality, masturbation, use of contraceptives, etc.) are immoral. I also made a video answering some frequently asked questions about the first video, I'll link that below too! Thoughts?

    Contraception sinful?

    Disclaimer: I know that this is a singles' forum and therefore none of us should be in a position in life to be using or contemplating contraception. So I know that there are some very vocal parties who are anti-contraception and believe that as one of the main purposes of marriage is to be...
