Natural Family Planning is *not* contraceptive.

con·tra·cep·tive ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kntr-sptv)
adj.

Capable of preventing conception.

n. A device, drug, or chemical agent that prevents conception.

Having sex only on certain days in order to minimize the risk is about a galaxy's difference from the use of contraceptives.

In NFP, you have sex - with your spouse only- of course, which leads to the natural end of marital sex. That is, to be graphic, ejaculation by the male, into the female. This is what wives and husbands do, and it is certainly allowed and encouraged by God. The only thing special about it is that you are having sex on certain days to minimize the risk of pregnancy. However, the idea is that you accept that there is a possibility of pregnancy, and you obviously wouldn't be allowed to abort the child if you should get pregnant. But again, there is nothing wrong with this. If there was, then all sex where the wife isn't successfully impregnated would be considered evil. Sex between a wife and husband is both procreative and a sign of love, bonding, and partnership.

This is so clearly different than wearing a condom or using some sort of chemical that either stops the sperm from going where it needs to go or killing the sperm once it goes where it needs to go, or fooling the woman's egg into thinking it's already pregnant. You either know that and are being dishonest or are just ignorant.

Natural Family Planning is *not* contraceptive.

What is it's purpose then and how does that differ from the purpose of other contraceptives?

Webster's defines "contraception" as deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation. Natural Family Planning does prevent conception, does it not? It appears to be a distinction without a difference, quite simply, and an example of the sort of changing teachings that you were just throwing stones at us about.

But hey, throw another stone. What the heck.

I notice that you've perverted the fact that the Orthodox may approve contraception is some cases to the statement that Orthodox approve of conctraception, implying in all cases. Such a perversion of fact is the essence of "bearing false witness."

The Rhythm Method of Birth Control or Natural Family Planning

The rhythm method of birth control involves working out this period of fertility, which will differ slightly with each woman. Intercourse is then restricted during this time.

This method of contraception has been known about for thousands of years but it is only in modern times that the art of working out the fertile period has been converted into an acceptable scientific procedure.

Conservative til I die "In NFP, you have sex - with your spouse only - of course, which leads to the natural end of marital sex."

A thousand apologies beforehandm for the utterly inappropriate post that follows.
I'm sorry. The double entendre in this sentence is just too delicious for this Frenchman to let pass by.
'Sex with your spouse only of course leads naturally to the end of marital sex.'

Is this related to the plural cases in English?
mouse:mice
louse:lice
spouse:spice?
