Before 1930, All Christian Denominations Opposed Contraception

---

I wonder why. It’s nowhere in the bible. There is a single story in the OT but that is because the guy was specifically told to impregnate the woman and he didn’t.

Sex is a need. Like food. And the OT message of “be fruitful and multiply” was replaced by Paul’s (i paraphrase) “it is better to remain single, but if you are horny, get married so you don’t sin.”

Nothing there about contraception being good or bad.

Deuteronomy 30:19

[Mrs. Don-o]

Depends on whether you think God’s design of human sexuality was wise and normative, or arbitrary and changeable.

If the human design, linking male-female erotic attraction and fertility, is arbitrary or based on chance, then we are authorized to change it and reconfigure it any way we want: homosexuality, contraception, transsexualism, whatever seems right in your own eyes.

If the human design is wise and normative -— a good in itself —— we are not authorized by God to claim a right to disable, impair, or sabotage its essential nature.

If you believe that, stop complaining about illegal i immigration. And stop complaining if a culture you like is being erased. You are voting for it.
