1 | What does God say on blocking life? :) | Jer 1:5 | TheFinalSQL | 126234 | ||
"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!

Hi Norm, The reference to Det. 23:1 is noted. However, the context is dealing with who may or may not enter into the assembly (congregation) and it is (proscribed) to Israel under the law. I don't see it as directly applicable to us:-) Specifically, a Enuch was one of the parties (who)were excluded from the full rights and privileges of citizenship: "It was a very ancient practice for parents in the East by various arts to mutilate their children, with a view to training them for service in the houses of the great." [Easton's Bible Dictionary] Also, remember Hebrews 4:16 "Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." We have complete and unrestricted access to God as believers. Anyway, I see a planned vastectomy or tubal ligation as being a long way from mutilation and certainly not hindering one's relationship to the Lord. (James 4:17) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Thank you bradK. I have never read much of the bible, I really should start studying more. When it comes to James 4:17 I've always felt that way in my heart about sin. | ||||||
