Bible Question:
Hi Hank, is there any verses in the bible that contains the contradiction against the use of contraceptives? |
Bible Answer: Dear jedal :: My, but you're a persistent fellow! :-) That's fine. Nothing to be ashamed of. More often than not, persistence pays, as the saying goes. .... Jedal, the subject of birth control (contraception) is a complex one and even among Christians often a controversial one. The Bible says a great deal about being fruitful and multiplying and next to nothing about birth control as we use the term in our time. Even birth control and contraception are not always terms pertaining to the same thing. In a broad sense one could label abortion a form of birth control but it is certainly not a form of contraception. Deliberate and willful abortion is not contraception; it is murder of a human being who already has been conceived but is developing in the womb awaiting the time to be born. ...... Since, as I've pointed out, this is a complex subject, I've opted to cite for your inspection three articles from a web site that is conservative, biblically based and doctrinally sound. The name of the site is gotquestions.org and from it I have chosen three articles for your reference. The URL's are as follows: http://www.gotquestions.org/birth-control.html ..... The next one is http://www.gotquestions.org/permanent-birth-control.html ..... The final one is http://gotquestions.org/abortion-Bible.html ..... If any of these links should fail to work for you, simply go to gotquestions.org and, using their search engine, type in key words birth control contraception for the first two articles, and abortion for the last one. ...... I hope that these essays will provide you with at least some answers to your question. Thanks for posting on Study Bible Forum. Grace to you. --Hank |
