Subject: What does God say on blocking life? :) |
Bible Note: 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 |
