Is Birth Control Sinful In Marriage?

[th1b.taylor]

True, but to them more kids also means more help on the farm, y'know? Likely they don't limit the amount of kids they have.

I think your right, QD, and they do seem to soak in God's blessings.

 

[th1b.taylor]

Right and the cost is way less to raise them.Those kids do not want expensive $300.00 toys and they go to school only up to eighth grade.

I joined the Army in the ninth grade and if my kids need a Play Station or an X-Box they bought themselves from wages earned, I'm a mean old man. Now, one of them buys me flying model helicopters. They don't seem to hate me.

On subjects like this where we are not really told one way or the other in scripture, we have to be careful not to allow our own personal convictions between us and God to spill over into condemning others as being sinful or less faithful just because they do not have the same convictions.

Scriptures already give a clear answer to this question. Is using birth control a sin. I get concerned because it takes 5 pages to beat around a bush. The devil is like this, He is the author of confusion and complications. He pushes our panic buttons in hopes for us to make a final choice before the Lord reveals what we need to do.

He introduces many elements to complicate simple instructions. He is the master of the balances scale where we sit the good and bad reasons to weight them. Things that should not even be considered, or placed on the scale. He gets us to reason out what the Lord said, and make the wrong choices. We later wonder why things are going wrong all the time, and are confused.

Worse of all, He uses us to complicate things for people. They look up to us because we might have their answer, but instead of the answer, we add things to the scale.

If we think of ourselves as helps for the Lord, then the only answer possible is thus saith the Lord, if the person is really wanting help and staying in the will of God.

You start out by saying:

Scriptures already give a clear answer to this question. Is using birth control a sin.

then you complain about people beating around the bush and causing confusion, but yet in your 4 paragraphs you never tell us where you think scripture answers this question so clearly. Why?

...like the Amish for instance they can have as many as 10 to 12 kids.Just think of what it costs to raise just one child. 2

Ten bushels of barley, fifteen barrels of rainwater, and 3500 board feet of Douglas Fir. Granny raised me on half that, and look how I turned out.

I rest my case. People can decide what they will with their Lord.

I ask the question again...Is Birth Control Sinful In Marriage? Yes or No
What is Gods view?

I once heard a "health and wealth gospel" preacher proclaim that "all sex is sin, sex in marriage is just forgiven sin". Based on that, I'd say birth control is sin to the second degree! ;)

THERE, happy now?
