When you are ready to follow God and not christian teachings, we can proceed. In the old days, the church of god taught something very different than what Jesus taught...or so they believed....just as much as you believed now. They had good reason to dismiss the words of a carpenter's son....just as you have good reason to dismiss my words.
The most common type of abortion is the spontaneous abortion. They far out number the abortions spoken of in this thread. Since they happen on their own without the will or desire of humans.....I say they are known only by God...... Unless you feel God doesnt know and cause everything.
This is a common ploy by those who cannot reason with or for truth..... They must inflate things to appeal to the readers emotions instead of intellect....For they know that common sense must be removed for their words to rings true.
Actually, generalizing to a whole population from your own experience is a risky thing. There are always outliers for one reason or another.
Um, it is over the course of one year. 85% over the course of a whole year and not 85% for each use. It's a cumulative scoring thing, just as for all the other contraceptive methods. And this is a 'user' rate because even a semi-effective thing used poorly is very ineffective.
So have you figured out what happened to the only man in the Bible who is recorded as having pulled out? And since you have stated that condoms are the moral equivalent of pulling out, do you still think condoms are moral?
And the failure rate for typical users is 15%. That is the useful number.
It's a 'method' called withdrawl. Works even worse than condoms. It's what Onan did in the Bible.
Call me a blasphemer and yell "crucify him" as well... it's all been done before. The one I serve provides perfect peace that passes understanding, which allows me to desire blessings for those that would curse. So forgive me that I'm not at all offended by your words.
