You might be damned for believing in a god who has a duty to satisfy your demands.

But, just for the record:

Deuteronomy 18:10
Isaiah 47:9-12
Nahum 3:4
Wisdom of Solomon 12:2ff
Galatians 5:19
Apocalypse 18:23.

Nope. Not a "demand." Rather, an eminently reasonable expectation! And a just God would never damn any of his children to Eternal Flames for violating an ambiguous and vague commandment.

As for your citations: They really "take the cake" with regards to ambiguity - if you are seriously claiming that they contain any injunctions against the use of condoms:

Deuteronomy 18:10

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,

Isaiah 47:9-12

But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments. 10 “For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, ‘No one sees me’; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’ 11 Therefore evil shall come upon you; You shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; You will not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, Which you shall not know. 12 “Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries, In which you have labored from your youth— Perhaps you will be able to profit, Perhaps you will prevail.

Nahum 3:4

Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, The mistress of sorceries, Who sells nations through her harlotries, And families through her sorceries.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:2ff: Apocryphal!

Therefore thou dost correct little by little those who trespass, and dost remind and warn them of the things wherein they sin, that they may be freed from wickedness and put their trust in thee, O Lord.

Galatians 5:19

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

Apocalypse [I take it you are referring to REVELATION?] 18:23

The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

Nope, not seeing any injunctions against the use of condoms.

Regards,
