There are many methods of birth control and some are, indeed, offensive to God. Some are even detrimental to women's health.
Many of the usual ones are neither, however.
As I said, keep pushing this restriction. Protestant churches are growing while the RCC is contracting.
What restrictions? You mean the ones that the OPC website AGREES with?
Protestant churches are growing while the RCC is contracting.
Which ones? Do you mean the ones that have dropped other "loony restrictions"? Like the "loony restrictions" against female clergy, homosexuality and abortion?
John Calvin (1509 to 1564) - Deliberately avoiding the intercourse, so that the seed drops on the ground, is double horrible. For this means that one quenches the hope of his family, and kills the son, which could be expected, before he is born. This wickedness is now as severely as is possible condemned by the Spirit, through Moses, that Onan, as it were, through a violent and untimely birth, tore away the seed of his brother out the womb, and as cruel as shamefully has thrown on the earth. Moreover he thus has, as much as was in his power, tried to destroy a part of the human race.
I've seen that propaganda posted multiple times on FR, but the truth does not support it. According to National Council of Churches´ (NCC) new 2010 Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches the Catholic Church´s membership in the United States grew at the "robust" rate of about 1.5 percent in 2008. The growth outpaces the estimated U.S. population growth rate in 2008, listed as 0.9 percent, according to the CIA World Factbook. There are now an estimated 68.1 million Catholics in the United States.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, whose members are known as Mormons, grew 1.7 percent to almost 5.9 million members. The Assemblies of God grew 1.3 percent to about 2.9 million.
Other denominations lost membership. The Presbyterian Church (USA) shrank 3.3 percent and now has about 2.9 million members. American Baptist Churches in the USA decreased two percent to 1.4 million, while the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America lost 1.9 percent of its membership, which now stands at 4.7 million.
The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest denomination after Catholics, lost 0.24 percent of its membership and now stands at 16.2 million. It also declined in membership in the year prior.
World wide the Catholic Church is gowning at a rate of 1.4% per year.
