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: I think the Bible is silent on contraception. Also, God commands us to (Gen 1:28) "be fruitful and increase in number." Not everyone is moved by God to desire large families, yet are blessed with lust in their marital relationship. Such couples ought to turn to contraception to keep their bodies and minds healthy and providing an outlet that can only strengthen their marital bond. Abstinence becomes contraception also. For example, at a moment you and you spouse are filled with lust for one another, failing to give in to that God-given feeling is contraception. |
