AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth." |
Bible Question: What does God say on birth control? |
Bible Answer: My heart goes out to you in your struggle to know what God's will is concerning your present situation. In Old Testament days, it was considered a curse to be barren. Matter of fact, the more children one bears, the more blessed women considered themselves to be. Of all the curses I've found of the end times, over-population wasn't one of them. I'm not trying to persuade you either way, but as God is able to open the womb, He is able to close it. If you really don't want to have more children, the answer could be just a prayer away. Pardon my grammatical errors. |
