Bible Note: I appreciate everyone's insight. I don't ask the question for myself necessarily; however, the answer has implications on my life as a Christian. I had a friend who posed the question to me asking for advice. I tended to lean towards a response like that of Mark D. Since I felt there is no clear teaching in scripture, they should do as they feel God is leading them and do it fervently, since what is done that is not from faith is sin. I would be grateful for the resources if they are easy for you to find so that I may pass them their way. I was concerned about an article that she sent me. It seemed very out of character for her. I believe it was from www.lifeandlibertyministries.com. The article was called "Being Fruitful: A Biblical View on Birth Control". The group life and liberty seems to be a bit, oh I don't know how to describe it, other than I didn't feel it was a reliable source. I just wanted to provide her with some Godly wisdom. So I appreciate the council of my brothers and sisters in this forum. |
