1 | Is any type of contraception allowed? | Bible general Archive 1 | JMR | 1043 | ||
What does the Bible say about contraception? Is it against using any type of contraception? Does the Bible allow us to use any method or methods of contraception? My personal beliefs on this is that we are not allowed to use any type of contraception. I think my beliefs are biblically based however. Am I wrong in thinking this way? Please give biblical references with your response. Thanks! :-) | ||||||

There is no objective, explicit prohibition against contraception. Though you will get an argument from the Catholics. Catholic belief is based upon the narrative of the man who cast his seed onto the ground. They conclude that the seed should not be wasted. That he was supposed to impregnate the wife of his dead brother so that she could have children. His purpose was not to violate a prohibition aginst sex for other-than-procreation purposes - He didn't want to do it. He didn't want the obligation of caring for the child and its mother. God was angry at him for not giving an offspring to the wife of his dead brother, not for casting his seed on the ground. The text explicitly says why God was angry. (I can't for the life of me remember where in the Bible this is, I can't remember the guys name or any of the details - just the thrust of the text. The odd thing is I was just studying this issue about a two months ago and we covered this event.) The RCC interpretation is not found in the text of Sacred Scripture. It must be another of those Ex Cathedra things! The pleasure and nurturing found in healthy sex is of great benefit to the union of marriage. 1 Cor 7:5 says "Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." This follows the command to fulfill marital duties and the bodies belonging to the partner as well. This text is about sex for satisfaction "Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." If my reasoning is accurate - I can't think of anybody who is burning with desire to procreate. My thoughts. Matt. |
