A *sin* so allegedly destructive and damning to the soul that God never makes mention of it anywhere in Scripture other than one alleged verse concerning Onan?

If it was such a sin or big deal, then why didn’t God emphasize it far more in Scripture, like he does for other sins like murder, adultery, lying, cheating, slander, etc?

One verse that can have another legitimate interpretation of why God slew Onan and the Catholic church runs with it. It develops a doctrine and then uses one interpretation of this verse to support their doctrine.

FWIW, NFP is contraception, no different than what Onan did. It’s for the purpose of sexual activity without the risk of getting pregnant, the very thing that Catholics condemn Onan for.

Catholics who use NFP are no different.

The hypocrisy of the Catholic(s) position abounds.

Add to that the use if statues, images and the retention of pedophiles and homosexuals in the clergy. Then there is adding unbiblical beliefs and practices.

In a stunning attack on Catholic belief and practice, the poster equates NFP to Onanism. Anyone care to offer corrections (yes, plural)?
