I don't think you know what that word means.<br /><br />I couldn't care less about the traditions of men. I prove in this article that the Lord does not forbid contraception, that it isn't a sin.<br /><br />Your ignorance of contraception is horrid. SOME contraception kills the conception, and my article speaks against that. <br /><br />God's natural design for sex is also the unitive function (did you actually read the article or just the headline?)<br /><br />There is nothing "seeker-sensitive" or "emotional" about this post; again, I don't think you understand what these words mean.<br />And there is no "ignorant assertions" made, rather I prove my case.<br /><br />Take your ignorance and ad hominem attacks elsewhere.Glenn E.

The Roman Catholic and all the original Protestant churches all unanimously opposed contraception in any forms whatsoever.

Condoms, e.g., bring no harm to the partners, yet Rome outlaws them as being sinful.<br /><br />I would suggest surgery as a permanent method when medical evidence demonstrates a pregnancy would be life-threatening. Again, the idea of the post isn’t what methods are used (except to note that drugs causing abortion are definitely wrong), rather the point of the post is that birth control in and of itself is not sinful. A couple could even practice Onanism and cause no harm to themselves, and yet Rome uses that method as an example of the sinful nature of birth control.<br /><br />Also, the REASON for birth control may be sinful, rather than the birth control itself. For example, if a couple doesn’t want children because they are selfish it is the attitude which is sinful, not the contraception. For example I see no sinful attitude in desiring to space children for various reasons.Glenn E.

No woman should be bombarding themselves with hormones to trick their bodies and then they wonder why they end up with problems later on. You fool your body into not getting pregnant, then you wonder why you can't stay pregnant. You wonder why you are old and hit with all these health problems that you take more pills for.<br /><br />Surgeries just SEEMS wrong. You don't "break" a part of your body that is working. As for the rest...I don't know. It also SEEMS wrong to try to prevent what the Bible says as a blessing just because the world tells us otherwise (its bad for your marriage, you cant afford it, you need more money, you won't be able to travel, kids are a burden, etc) But does that make it sinful? I don't know. What it does make it is something to pray over and to be willing to actually listen to the answer.Jenhttp://www.gracewithoutworks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-33661318901049759042014-04-08T08:33:53.806-05:002014-04-08T08:33:53.806-05:00Interesting material.
