Is it? Until the Lambeth conference in 1930, all Christian churches condemned birth control as sinful. Today, the Catholic Church is virtually alone in holding to this ancient belief, as one denomination after another has accepted artificial contraception. This should be a troubling fact for many who believe in Scripture.
We might wonder, why is contraception harmful to marriages? The reasons are many. When sex becomes solely an act for pleasure, with no chance of having children, often a user mentality of one's marriage partner evolves. One or both partners can become selfish, and that selfish behavior can lead to other problems in the relationship.

Of course these “Christian” churches are simply trying to be relevant. Those churches of decades and centuries past were merely a product of their times. Today’s churches however are NOT merely a product of Their Times. (or are they?)
The *heart* behind contraception and NFP are identical: exerting control over fertility.
Don’t play this holier than thou game, thinking that you’re somehow better because your form of birth control is approved by Rome.
“Until the Lambeth conference in 1930, all Christian churches condemned birth control as sinful.”
“ALL Christian churches” definitely does not include most Baptists who are inherently independent and not ecumenically minded.
BTW, every Catholic woman I know practices some form of birth control.
I don’t really know how to ask this w/o having you take it as being snarky, I really don’t WANT it to be snarky but I gotta ask; “Are Catholic women to be nothing but baby-making machines?”
I agree with you 100%. Birth control is now so culturally accepted, most people are totally blind to the rot and harm it has caused and continues to cause. It instantly leads to abortion - oops, the birth control failed; we’ll just use this “other” kind of birth control.
