Bible Question: What does the Bible say about contraception? Is it against using any type of contraception? Does the Bible allow us to use any method or methods of contraception? My personal beliefs on this is that we are not allowed to use any type of contraception. I think my beliefs are biblically based however. Am I wrong in thinking this way? Please give biblical references with your response. Thanks! :-) |
Bible Answer: JMR, I read all the postings on this thread and general consesus is that Bible is silent about this subject. Let me offer you a passage from the Old Testament how God sees this issue. I think your belief is right and God is NOT silent on this matter. I think He is deadly serious. Take a look at the following verses: Gen 38:8-10. Onan practiced a type of contraceptive and God saw that wicked and killed him. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Lie with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to produce offspring for your brother." 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so he put him to death also.
