Contraception

[ChirpChirp]

What other question?

The one I've been repeating throughout this forum....about how you're meant to cope if you never use contraception just read back. Also using contraception as a therapeutic choice.

If you don't want more children, then do natural family planning. I'm not sure how to answer your second question.

The natural planning way is fair enough I suppose but it's not very reliable. I still don't think non-abortive methods are wrong though, that's just my opinion Thanks for sharing yours

So you just want to ignore what Christians have always believed?

No, I'm just assuming that because they did not have access to modern contraception methods for the best part of the last 2000 years then their must have been abortive which is of course wrong. So I see nothing sinful in postponing a pregnancy in a loving Christian family if the time is not right for them to have a/another baby.

Contraception is a sin.

Care to give some evidence before you make assertions? I gave my evidence.

The Bible, the Church Fathers, the Church, etc.

Ummmmmm... What?

In the Bible they also used to think it was ok to have sex with as many women as you wanted as long as you were married to them....
Care to show me the exact line in the Bible where it says contraception is always a sin? Because the only example I can think of is the story of the man who was meant to have his dead brother's children but he pulled out because they would be his brother's children and not his. So it's not really about contraception but more about not honouring your duty.

I agree with Girder of Loins... And stop ignoring mine.....or at least refer to it in your answer. Because I did not start this thread to make you feel all self righteous by proclaiming that contraception is a sin safely behind the cover of an anonymous user name. I came here for answers as to why some people think it is, and situations in which it might not be, especially situations that might come up in my future career.

edit: And in the Old Testament they had rules for absolutely everything to the smallest detail and it never mentioned contraception!

I am not ignoring yours. To my knowledge, you are in support of it, or at least open to it. If you read my original post, you would see that I support the use of contraception. I am currently arguing with Classical Saxophonist, who I keep asking for evidence from. Apparently, an obscure list counts as "evidence".

Sorry I meant to direct that toward Classical Saxophonist like yourself! I suck at working the quotes and replies....:/
