Show me where it is prohibited in scripture. Or can you not explain it without using church traditions as a reference? I gave you my reply on the matter. Your church practices it but of course they don’t call it that. They simply call it natural family planning. Call it what you may the end result is the same. The natural family planning method is used to prevent conception and that is a fact. We just disagree on the methods that’s all.
“Show me where it is prohibited in scripture.”
I don’t have to. Protestants until the 1930s always said it was prohibited by scripture. So, if the Bible hasn’t changed, what did change?
“Or can you not explain it without using church traditions as a reference?”
It doesn’t matter if I can or can’t explain it since the teaching must logically be the same as it always was in any case. You have to ask yourself what does the Bible teach and what has it always taught on the subject and why are all Protestants now doing differently than what their ancestors always believed that the Bible taught. None of this - in that regard - is my problem in any way, shape or form since I don’t believe in sola scriptura.
“I gave you my reply on the matter.”
You didn’t even come close to answering the questions - proving I was right all along: sola scriptura does not work.
“Your church practices it but of course they don’t call it that. They simply call it natural family planning.”
No. Birth Control is not NFP. Only someone ignorant of NFP would say that short term use of NFP for grave reasons is birth control.
“Call it what you may the end result is the same.”
Clearly it is not. All the Catholic families I know which follow orthodox teachings have between 5 and 13 children. A friend of mine just had her 7th child. She turned 30 in May. Her sister in law, who is 36, just had her 8th child.
“The natural family planning method is used to prevent conception and that is a fact.”
No, actually it’s used to space them, not indefinitely prevent them (as shown by my friends mentioned above). But my how you are running from your seemingly inability to answer the questions I put forward.
“We just disagree on the methods that’s all.”
Nope. Birth Control is wrong. This isn’t about “method”. The very fact that you can’t even use the correct terminology shows you are out of your element to say the least. I guess the sola scriptura heresy isn’t helping you much now is it?
