But where in the Bible does it talk about birth control? Now, where in the Bible does God command men and women to be fruitful and multiply. Also, where does it talk about the Lord opening the womb of the barren and visiting them that they might conceive. Obviously, conception is a blessing from the Lord as well. And, please, notice that I did not say that my views applied to everyone. They were my views as applied to myself and what I would do. Also,
Mat 6:33 But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. If I felt that I was obeying God by not using birth control, then I would trust in Him to provide for all of my needs. God rewards obedience with blessings. If God wants me to have sixteen children then I will just have to trust him to provide for sixteen children. Once again, these are my views as pertain to me. I was only answering the poll. Here are the verses that you requested.
