Bible Question: Should Christians use methods such as birth control or natural family planning to prevent conception? Does God intend for us to trust Him with how many children we have or to pray and be guided by His wisdom to make this decision? Is there overwhelming Biblical evidence one way or the other? Thank you! |
Bible Answer: Hi Zeppie, And let me echo Doc's welcome to you! Birth control is not addressed in the Bible. As such, each person should seek the Lord's leading. I believe that Romans 14:23b applies "whatever is not of faith is sin." Let each be persuaded in their own mind, and act at they believe God wants.
