1 | What does God say on blocking life? :) | Jer 1:5 | drapngflwr | 126225 | ||
Thank you, I went and read that chapter. I agree completely, my heart tells me that its not ok with god, at the same time we live in different times where the world is quickly getting over-populated and with all the different ways to block life from continuing, such as tubal ligation and vesectomies. I feel wrong in getting a tubal ligation as if god would have me stay as he made me, then again I already have four children. I am very fertile. I will pray some more on this. | ||||||
2 | What does God say on blocking life? :) | Jer 1:5 | BradK | 126229 | ||
drapngflwr, Certainly we're to glorify God in our bodies as 1 Cor. 6:20 tells. However, there does not appear to be any specific prohibition in scripture against vasectomies or tubal ligation, etc. These prevent conception while abortion terminates life as God has defined it. Do you have any specific verses in mind? This seems more a matter of personal choice and within the bounds of freedom God has granted us (Gal. 5:1,13). I would say that if to you it is wrong, then it is. James 4:17 says: "Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." Paul further instructs us twice in 1 Corinthians that "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything." (1 Cor. 6:12, 10:23) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

"However, there does not appear to be any specific prohibition in scripture against vasectomies or tubal ligation, etc. These prevent conception while abortion terminates life as God has defined it. Do you have any specific verses in mind?" Deuteronomy 23:1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. Praise the Lord!

4 | What does God say on blocking life? :) | Jer 1:5 | Stultis the Fool | 126236 | ||
That verse is a metaphorical comparison of the pure to impure. You will also notice that crippled individuals (even from birth) are not to enter the tent. The practical application of the Law, here, in Deuteronomy, is to express the absolute purety God demands of his chosen people. This is NOT a passage designed to condemn someone who has chosen to recieve a vasectomy, a tubal ligation, or, more contextually, a person who has been injured in there genitals. | ||||||
