In Genesis 1:28, God ordained that his adherents be fruitful and multiply. Our heavenly father specifically commanded us to make babies, lots of them. Therefore, it stands to reason that Christians who use birth control are committing an abomination. (If anyone thinks the scripture I quoted was meant for the distant past, you’re kidding yourself. 1 Peter 1:25 says that God’s word “endures forever,” so of course our heavenly father’s commandment to be fruitful and multiply is still relevant today.)

Some people may disagree with me and ask how can some Christian couples afford to have half a dozen children or more. Well, if you’re saved and belong to Christ, God will intervene and give you the help you need. Don’t lack faith.

There is also a strategic reason why God ordered his adherents to procreate a lot. In the long term, the ultra-religious will eventually outnumber the secularists, leftists, and other sorts of ungodly people who don’t value faith. For example, Haredi Jews—meaning the ultra pious Jews who wear those hats and black suits, grow their bears, and devote their lives wholly to the Lord—comprise 9.9% of Israelis. Their birth rate is 6.2 children per woman, but the secular Jews in Israel barely have any kids. Because of these demographic changes, the Haredi are expected to be the majority of Israelis by mid-century. This is a good thing because Israel is generally secular and has enacted liberal ideologies like legal sodomite weddings. When the truly pious Jews become the majority, they will elect leaders who will get rid of those secular abominations, implement godly laws, and return Israel to holiness.

The same is true with Christians here in the US. Secularists and lefties, many of whom don’t believe in God or may consider themselves nominally Christian, which isn’t really Christian in the first place, practice birth control and barely have any children compared to conservatives and religious fundamentalists. Some Americans on the Right are worried that the US will become irredeemably liberal due to the demographic changes from non-Western immigration. But in the long run, liberals and secularists are consigning themselves to demographic oblivion, since they practice birth control and focus on their careers instead of family, while conservatives and fundamentalists are making babies. This means that our sort will be in the vast majority by the end of the century.

What am saying? If you’re a good Christian who values faith, then it is an abomination if you think birth control is acceptable and practice it. As God’s faithful adherents, we must go forth and multiply, which will ensure our demographic majority against an ever depopulating liberal/secular population. If you want the future of humanity to be holy and pious, and not secular and ungodly and liberal, then do your Christian duty and have five, six, seven, eight, nine, or even ten children!

I would not recommend bringing children into this world unless the foundations of the family are strong.

Your not asking a question, you already have the answer, you just want people to agree with what you believe.

No Birth Control is not an Abomination, can you produce Scripture which backs up your belief?

If a Christian couple is strong in faith, the foundations for their family are infinitely strong.

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. - Genesis 6:11-12

I worry that in the last days we are going to see an escalation of violence and corruption... Just like happened in the first world. Better think hard before bringing young-uns into this troubled world!

IF a Christian couple is........... and............ what about "all the others" outside of Christianity?

God is not going to open up the window of blessing to those who deliberately look to increase the world's population without regard to the consequences. Preventing the birth of a child in the first place is far superior to ripping it out of the mother's womb and dumping it in the trash, or selling body parts.

Many people who believe this way don't object to birth control by abstaining from sex.

Does this logic apply to celibacy as well?

We'll still control the universities. :)

There is an island in Japan where they do nothing to control the cat population. Perhaps you would be happy there.

Religious hype IMO, if my wife and I hadn't practiced birth control we would probably have had 30 kids. As it is we have 5 and 13 grands, one great grand and we have no clue how the fifth child was conceived because we were protected. If God wants you to have a child you will end up with a child is my belief, protected or not. We did. And what a treasure she has been too !

I think the little kittens are amazingly awesome. Only they grow up to fast into full sized cats.

God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. The directive was given to them specifically.

Since then, mankind has been fruitful and has multiplied, and isn't showing any signs of stopping anytime soon. But it's not a command directed at mankind in general.

Psalm 127:3-5
3) Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4) As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5) Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
