3 | How about common sense? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searchingfortruth | 2399 | ||
Dear gentlemen, I have found your discourse extremely interesting. Allow me to add a view items in favor of common sense. I too, believe that children are among the greatest gifts which our Lord has bestowed upon us. I also feel that there is no situation in which abortion is anything less than the murder of one of the greatest gifts from the Lord. However, I believe that the original question dealt with what the Bible said in terms of birth control. I will make the assumption that this is referring to artificial birth control such as a physical or hormonal method rather than "natural birth control" of abstaining during "fertile periods". To begin with the obvious, birth control as we know it was not available during biblical times and thus it could not be mentiones in the bible. However, if we look at this from a cultural perspective we are looking at two totally different things. In Biblical times, society was set up as a farming culture. Thus, with the addition of more children, the farmer would prosper more as there would be more people to till the land. Today, in our industrial-based society, more children mean more mouths to feed and I mean that very literally. For example. the Vatican has decreed that artificial birth control methods should not be used as they prevent God's children from being born(my words). In many South American countries where the populations of Catholics are extremely high, most couples do not use birht control. Many children are born and there is no food and very little clean water for them. They are so poor that much of the food they eat is collected daily from garbage dumps. Thus, many of these children die early in life because the socio-economic culture cannot support their life. Sorry I offer no Scripture, but to be honest, I do not know any passages which deal with this matter since we are not talking about murder(abortion) but rather the prevention of a pregnancy. Please let me know your thoughts. Peace |

4 | What unmarried sexual acts are sinful? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searchingfortruth | 2314 | ||
What is considered a sinful sexual act between a man and a woman before marriage (what about during marriage)? While I realize sexual intercourse prior to marriage is spoken of explicitly throughout the bible it does not explain about other sexual acts besides intercourse. While I have searched for guidance in this area in many places I have often received conflicting answers. Some say that everything below the neck is wrong, others say that the physical intimacy should reflect emotional intimacy with the highest emotional intimacy (marriage) being equated with intercourse. Still others guide me by saying that one should know EVERYTHING about their partner before marriage in order to make a good decision in choosing a lifelong parter. | ||||||
