1 | Be fruitful, multiply or God's guidance | Rom 14:23 | zeppie | 155970 | ||
Should Christians use methods such as birth control or natural family planning to prevent conception? Does God intend for us to trust Him with how many children we have or to pray and be guided by His wisdom to make this decision? Is there overwhelming Biblical evidence one way or the other? Thank you! | ||||||
2 | Be fruitful, multiply or God's guidance | Rom 14:23 | mark d seyler | 155971 | ||
Hi Zeppie, And let me echo Doc's welcome to you! Birth control is not addressed in the Bible. As such, each person should seek the Lord's leading. I believe that Romans 14:23b applies "whatever is not of faith is sin." Let each be persuaded in their own mind, and act at they believe God wants. You can search past posts for much discussion on this topic. Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark, I incline to see the matter of "being fruitful and multiplying" much as you do. Of course, all chidren should be the fruit of marriage between a man and a woman, for that is God's way. Beyond that, it could be noted that God gave His human creatures a mind equipped with certain powers of discretion and judgment and I believe it is to His honor that we use the common sense God gave us. ..... When the ark landed, so the story goes, Noah opened the doors and told all the animals to go forth, be fruitful and multiply. All the animals scampered out, happy to make their way in the postdiluvian world. Only one pair of creatures, two little snakes, remained in the ark, crouching timidly in a corner. "All right, you two," thundered Noah, get out of here, go. Be fruitful and multiply." ..... "We don't know how to multiply" said the little snakes in unison, "because we're adders." ..... Will anyone on this Forum ever forgive me? :-) --Hank | ||||||
