A poll on birth control

[catlover]

I'm new to this site and have been quite confused with all the different interpretations of scripture people seem to have.

What's wrong with birth control anyway? Does it say in the Bible we mustn't use it? I'm 39 and I've got 2 lovely daughters but I don't intend of having any more. Am I sinning by using birth control. I'm still a baby Christian so this is news to me.

Nothing. People are just angry women don't breed like rabbits anymore.

Nothing? Are you sure about that? If the birth control can kill the baby like forms of the pill can would you still say there is nothing wrong with it?

Sex isn't evil, adultry is. Birth control serves the purpose of that sin well.

I tried to find the friendly little smiley that was laughing to make this a cheery, friendly post. I couldn't find it, so I will just say it.....I had to laugh out loud when I read this.

I can only imagine...lol...how Christians who are willing to make judgements like these would define outreach and unification in Christ?

Right, and the main way of doing this is to turn it into recreation and say it's just for pleasure and that the way God designed the body is wrong and must be altered with drugs and devices. Sex is a wonderful thing when a man and woman do it in the confines of marriage the way God intended. If you're lucky, once in a while you may even be blessed with another human creation from God. It wasn't God's plan for man to manipulate the body to prevent birth, then turn around and manipulate it again when He closes the womb.
I read once that a poll taken at a fertility clinic revealed that 100% of people seeking treatment had used a form of birth control previously. Strange that.

I guess adoption is wrong too. Why should anyone take on a child when it is so obvious that God has "closed their womb" and doesn't want them to conceive children. No sex and no children for the barren!

I hope you all read this with a hint of sarcasm.

 

[IndyRider]

Yes it is. Good and evil. God and Satan. Jesus the only way to salvation. Inventing grey areas is only an excuse to continue sinning.

 

[IndyRider]

If life was so black and white, why we having so many problems, especially with communication? Sorry but I'm more forgiving, but most people live in the "grey" areas of life. That's what makes life so much more interesting as well.

To add....Discernment is also a gift from God. Why would we need it if there were no gray areas?

 

[IndyRider]

I Cor. 7:4-5 The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

"Lack of self control" seems to indicate the physical desire for sex, which, towards your wife, is acceptable. Read also the Song of Solomon; doesn't Solomon talk of taking pleasure in the wife, and not just for procreation?

Well done!

Why do you think you have to have birth control to have sex? Why not just be open to God's blessings and accept His will?

The problem is not people breeding like rabbits, but having sex like rabbits then acting like God's blessings are a burden. The reasons given for using birth control are identical to the ones given for abortion.

By the way, if anyone is interested, I stated ovulating from my right ovary today. It's my favorite because that's the side my twins were conceived from.

Out of curiosity, on another thread about birth control you talk about your dear husband having a vasectomy. Is this the type of birth control that you endorse? If so, does that not limit the number of "blessings" you can gain from God?

If I am mistaking, I sincerely apologize.

A baby isn't "killed", a woman is not ,clinically, pregnant until the joined egg and sperm inplant in the womb. So, no, there is nothing wrong with the pill or I.U.D. It clearly comes down to people spreading misinformation and not understanding birth control correctly.

Yes, but that's him, not me. Just because a man gets a vascetomy doesn't mean his wife stops ovulating. The "one flesh" thing is not literal.

But it does mean that you and your husband have decided to not have any more children by earthly measures (see birth control), yet you have been very outspoken against limiting God's "blessings" on this thread.

What gives?

 

[IndyRider]

I am against birth control. Christians shouldn't shun God's blessings.

Just to clarify my above post.....I am confused about this statement as opposed to your other statements concerning your own husband's vasectomy.

 

[TwinCrier]

I think birth control is wrong. I also think adultry is wrong but my current husband has an illegitimate son. I'm sure he has committed other sins as well, as have I. I'm not a hypocrite, I'm just being honest about my sin. I'm sure you're not sinless either. I'm a sinner, you're a sinner, he's a sinner she's a sinner.... sounds like the old Dr. Pepper commercial no?

 

[IndyRider]

So, you would say that birth control is acceptable if you have a personal situation that warrants it?

 

[TwinCrier]

No. I am saying I have commited the sin of birth control (among others) and have since repented. Most people think their personal situation warrants their sin.

Has your husband had his vasectomy reversed?

 

[TwinCrier]

Not to my knowledge, LOL.
