Contraception does not consummate a marriage, so even though they have gone through a "ceremony", even in a Catholic Church, the couple is not married, as they do not consent to be joined by their act of contraception. They are therefore engaged in sexual activity outside of marriage.
Like I said, your group does not teach that, even thought it was the standard in all of Christianity for 1900 years. Not until 1930 was it considered, and now you have many people discarding babies like yesterday's trash. Sex is had irresponsibly in pseudomarriage relationships where men act like boys begging for sex and women treat them like dogs. The prophesy of Isaiah 3:12 is alive and well in the 21st century
[12] As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.
Libido is a powerful urge that must be brought under the control of the will. The old adage is rule your passions, or you will be ruled by them. As Romans says
[3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;
[4] That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
[5] For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.
[6] For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.
[7] Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.
[8] And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.
[9] But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Your group teaches people to live by the flesh, go to church on saturday , even though it is ceremonial, make sure you follow Jewish dietary laws, even though Jesus said it is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean, but Lust? Oh don't worry, its the 21st century, we have so much technology that you can have sex without consequence, you can have fun without children, even though Jesus said that if any man looks on a woman to lust after her, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart. He did not specify whether a person thought they were married or not, just looking at woman to lust after her is adultery. Porn is evil, contraception is evil, she is your wife, not your personal pleasure doll. Treat her with the dignity she deserves.
Oh and women that do not want children, you do not deserve to think you are married, you have truly become a man's ball and chain, unless he consents to it, like Joseph did. If I am not to have children with my wife, even though she is fertile we will not have intercourse. Infertility is another issue. As 1 Cor 6:18- 20 states
18 Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.
19 Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own?
20 For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.
fly is old English for flee, run away from, shun, and that is the only way to deal with lust. You cannot control lust by contraception, masturbation or pornography. the only choice when tempted is to flee, as Joseph did when he worked for the Egyptian. He was thrown in prison, but he maintained his purity.
Sexual intercourse is for reproduction and love. Using it for lust brings strife and sins against the body.
Do you really need more proof of the evils of contraception? In 1930, sex was for reproduction, but then some people that called themselves christian thought that contraception should be ok, now we see sex is used for pleasure and children to be avoided. There is rampant pornography, masturbation, contraception, homosexuality, bestiality, fetishes, blow up dolls, robot sex, incest and pedophilia. You may say that is unbelievers and not us, but you were the ones that taught them that sex was for pleasure and not children, lust need not be controlled, as we can contracept. Do you really think that God will not hold you accountable for that? Lord have mercy
The good news is that God does have mercy, repent and you will receive forgiveness, or persist and you will receive judgement. I am living proof. I wasted 56 years of my life with the error of contraception, I repented and I could not be happier. I see all those wasted years and the strife that could have been avoided if I was taught control of myself instead of uncontrolled self with birth control.
You love to tell people to control their bodies by Sabbath attendance and dietary restriction, but you won't tell them to control their lusts. Why?
All your claims of out of context quotes and scriptural references, only goes to show that a sola scripturist can make the scriptures say what ever they want it to mean when they break away from ecclesial authority. The word of God is of no effect in such cases. Human reason is not meant to control scripture, Scripture is meant to control human reason.
The most evil consequence of the contraceptive mentality that I have ever witnessed was in a patient I took care of. He was a young man about 19, and he had a brain injury. He was alive and probably could still think, but he could not communicate. I asked how did he get that way? He and his girlfriend were having sex, and she got pregnant. He was so distraught that he attempted suicide and failed, now he has permanent brain damage. His girlfriend was so distraught when she found out that he attempted suicide, that she attempted suicide herself. She succeeded, and now mother and baby are dead, and the father has permanent brain damage. Why this evil? Because they were taught that sex was for pleasure and children to be avoided, the parents of the boy and the girl did not want the stigma of a pregnant teen, and they told them not to get pregnant, but they did, and this is the result. Still think contraception is scripturally based?
