Ahhh, the Russian Roulette theory of moral theology...where is that in Calvin's writings?

Good night, Doctor.
It's encouraging you're skeptical. Hopefully that means all RCs don't dismiss the OT with such delight.
My parents did, and still I was born. Diaphrams don't always work.
God's gifts come when He decides to give them.
P.S. I already know I'm destined to be thrown into a lake of fire, so none of this matters too much to me.
I’m no newbie. I’ve been involved in numerous discussions (many of them with you, in fact)... not once have I ever seen a recognized RC apologist (as opposed to simpleton or troll) make such a ridiculous assertion. Our Faith is the one that gave you the Canon of Scripture and the key to understanding it through typology.
Just as there are members of any Faith who don’t truly understand it, you can’t rely on the post of an uncatechised Catholic to represent the Magisterium.
When God wants them to fail, they'll fail.
Uncatechised? lol. He’ll be surprised to hear that.
Ahhh, the Russian Roulette theory of moral theology...where is that in Calvin's writings?
One of the few subjects where most conservative Protestants and all liberal Catholics agree with eachother. I don’t think you could find a Catholic who digs “gay marriage”,priestesses, and abortion who also thinks birth control is wrong.

Yes, I’m Brother Kenobi, pleased to meet you today.
So you have to have sex in order to have a valid opinion that contraception is wrong? My sex life is irrelevant.
It helps in understanding life to experience life.
Roulette? Isn’t that the papists’ method of contraception?
Which is why Christ says we should come to him like little Children?
If he's telling you that RCs believe "that the OT has nothing to teach us and is extraneous to salvation" then, yes... uncatechised.
Good night.
Sometimes it helps more to have an uncorrupted view. I've found that most people who advocate for abortion have had one themselves... misery seems to love company. When someone hasn't had to rationalize himself into a lifestyle, he can enjoy objectivity.
That's probably true in many cases. Abortion is such a terrible guilt people need all the rationalization they can find.
But what does that have to do with barrier contraception?
Likewise we are to utilize our renewed minds and God-given consciences to live a life that best glorifies God which employs all our maturing, sanctified faculties.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." -- Romans 12:1-2"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Men and women were created to marry and have children. To deny that is foolishness.
"Marriage is honourable in all..." -- Hebrews 13:4
So you say. Many parents would disagree with you.
First off excuse the lack of space between words, we all make mistakes it’s human nature. Pointing out grammar deficiencies does not somehow elevate your intellectual position.
My “thesis” is plenty valid, those countries have out of control populations. So much so the government of China instituted a barbaric law to limit children per family. Why? Because their central planning form of government could not feed them.
Deny all you want but they live in some of the worst conditions imaginable. The poorest in America still have a roof, cable TV, a cell phone and according to the progressives are forced to eat processed food.
