Thanks.
Birth control is birth control whether it's artificial or "natural".
Being natural doesn't make it ok if the premise is that birth control is wrong.
Yep. It was the pill. We haven't finished paying for it yet.
Gotcha
By “artificial” I’m talking about anything other than “rhythm” or abstinence.
Abstinence is birth control.
have a nice day
PS By the by, NFP (some call it, Not For Protestants) is more effective than the pill and is in essence the same method people having difficult conceiving a child use only in reverse.
We have fallen far as a society as artificial contraception, while controversial has not been a political issue in a couple generations. For that matter, leading into the 2016 Election, Abortion is hardly mentioned by the presidential candidates.
The reality is that both artificial contraception and abortion are both destroying our society and both should be issues in 2016.
So then, when a woman is pregnant, then sex should stop too, because then it's only for fun. That would weaken the marriage bond then.
And of course, once a woman is past her fertile time in her cycle, then there should be no sex, because since she can't get pregnant, then the sex is just for fun.
And when a woman is past menopause, then there's no chance for conception at all and sex becomes only for the fun. Who ever would have thought that that would weaken the marriage bond (besides a Catholic I suppose). In that case, they'd better stop having sex, right, since if they continue just for the fun of it, it'll weaken the marriage bond.
Imagine that. Married couples having sex just for fun. Oh, the HORROR....
Birth control is birth control, whether it’s *artificial* or *natural*.
If it’s the birth control itself that’s inherently evil, then it’s evil no matter HOW it’s practiced, *natural* or not.
If birth control is inherently wrong, then it’s wrong whether it’s natural or artificial.
If the goal is to prevent conception, then whether it’s rhythm or abstinence, then it’s birth control and hence as wrong as using a barrier method.
Using church approved birth control doesn’t make it right if birth control itself is wrong.
Excellent point.
Maybe it is time we reexamine the nation’s use of contraception.
It's been shown that exclusively breast feeding an infant is a deterrent to pregnancy. Is that "birth control" to you?
Deterrent, maybe.
Prevent it? No.
Is that "birth control" to you?
Breast feeding is *feeding the baby*. Whatever effect it has on a woman's ability to conceive is secondary.
Your question is just downright stupid.
You must be a man.
That's a response a feminist would give. Can I be against abortion as "a man" or is that also prohibited?
Your question didn’t deserve a better answer.
1 Corinthians 7:5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Psalm 127:3-5Â
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is theman that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Breastfeeding is God’s design not any kind of “deterrant”. That’s as absurd as saying that conception is birth control because you can’t get pregnant while you’re pregnant.
Sex is certainly pure yet fleeting Fun. But procreation is eternally and exponentially more significant. Sex could always celebrate procreation. Bible history proves that you never know!
If someone thinks they are, then they may as well just go whole hog and adopt "my sins were all in the future when Christ died for them so they're all forgiven before I even commit them" theology and do what they damn well because having said the magic word they never have to worry about anything again.
