Sorry i will try not to elaborate as much. Im a bit surprised u pulled "w method" as it is the scientific term for spilling the seed
I've read the terms and rules on the bottom of the page. Is there something more detailed?
Well at least i know now cos I was going to introduce a topic about what is acceptable in the sexual relationship of a married couple
Its a really interesting topic but there is now way to discuss it... Ah well, its all good
Contraception is not listed as a sin in the Scriptures,
it is not a Biblical issue. Nowhere does Scripture forbid contraception, all the way up to abortion.
So it's ok to do if the Bible doesn't say its a sin. The Bible also doesn't say it's not a sin either.
I can think of some heinous actions that scripture doesn't cover. Is it ok to do these acts then?
But the Levitical law (and its punishments) was not yet in existence. There are other considerations:
1) This was more important than just a mere family thing. It was Onan's duty to father the next generation of God's people. A whole tribe of descendants was depending on him!
2) He could have been honest and refused to do his duty - but instead he made a pretence of doing it.
3) What about Tamar? She was evidently willing to have sex with her brother-in-law in order to become a mother, but Onan was in effect using her for his sexual gratification without giving her the 'reward'.
Thanks Deb. It's easy just to say no and ignore the passage in question.
Giving an alternate interpretation is thoughtful. Giving three of them thoughtful times 30
Its left me with some good food for thought...I appreciate that
No! Abortion is not murder of babies. Abortion is merely discarding miscellaneous unformed fetal tissue, which having never been a living being, of course cannot be murdered.
I didn't know there was pro abortion Christians. Do u have any limits or is it any reason up until birth? What if its born alive?
There is a moral argument that goes like this.
An immoral act is one that is intentional and does harm. Is there any harm being done in an abortion...
Well the unborn child can feel pain at 8 weeks and to abort it would mean to inflict pain upon it.
If u are inflicting pain u are inflicting harm. Therefore it is an immoral act in my eyes
Another argument is that it removes the responsibility from sex. Without abortion sex is a much more personal and intimate undertaking
With the abortion get out of jail card now people are much more promiscuous. Sex has less meaning and value
My wife & I are Quiverfull
