". . . to speak as God leads us to so that the truth of the Gospel is preached to the glory of God. "

Were such folks glorifying God when they preached that all contraception was a sin, or were they wrong then and glorifying God now that they preach the exact opposite?

How delighted I am that you have decided to post to me again!

Assuming that this is more than a rhetorical question to me, let me answer simply that what a person or denomination believes about "contraception" has nothing whatsoever to do with the "Gospel". Though I don't approve of any contraceptive that causes an abortion (the death of the unborn) - as is the "secondary" effect of most oral birth control pills and other hormonal methods as well as the primary function of the IUD - the other choices a married couple have to regulate their own families is none of my business. It is between themselves and God. Just because the Roman Catholic Church has made the issue their business doesn't mean it has anything to do with the Gospel of the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
