It happens to be the shared Christian teaching of all denominations for nearly 19 centuries, specifically until 1930. Why 1930? Because it was then, at their Lambeth conference, that the Anglican Church became the only Christian denomination to approve or marital contraception.
How do you account for the fact that for over a millennium, all Christians were wrong? And I mean all Christians---Protestant, Orthodox, Reformed, Catholic, Evangelical, all of them--- who understood Scriptural principles as forbidding any non-natural alteration of sex?
Did the Holy Spirit go asleep for 19 long centuries, only to awaken to tell the Anglicans (of all people!) to ignore the old Christian ethic and get with the contraceptive revolution?
Do you know why the Anglican Church broke ranks and abandoned the historic Christian teaching on marriage (Protestant as well as Catholic) and accepted the contraceptive revolution pioneered by such figures as Margaret Sanger, Robert Malthus, Thomas Huxley, Marie Stopes and Havelock Ellis?
You don't know the history, if you're thinking that this is some peculiarity of Catholicism. It was a Scripturally-rooted consensus that continued for centuries after the Reformation.
The Gay and Trans movements are just the latest manifestations of this self-same revolution against natural sex.
So few people know this history.
I will summarize one more time.
You have made an assertion.
You have not backed it up with God’s Scriptures.
You’ve been forced to claim natural law, history, personal assertions, etc.
You have misused one passage of Scripture.
You have provided nothing else.
No commands from God.
Certainly no command to have limitless children.
Nothing in God’s writings to the church.
If you want to adhere to this personal belief, of course you can. I’ve no complaints about personal preference or practice.
But you are claiming this is a universal, moral, important rule, applicable to all Christians - and presumably all Jews.
Yet God didn’t say it or teach it or command it.
Here is an interesting article on the Jewish view of contraception.
It also differs from your posts.
Good read.
