Oh you mean the duty of an husband's brother; that aspect? it's very much Old Testament era, not New Testament. The discussion above seems anyway to have gone away from that strictly Old Testament aspect.
Is it a sin to use contraception?

As a QF Christian, I personally see general contraception like smoking. The Bible doesn't speak directly to either, but the Holy Spirit has the right to convict us to stop, if He wants to. Quiverfull

YEs, well I don't really see it as about what today would be called contraception, condoms, etc.

There's always going to be individual conviction about those matters...
It's when ppl start to try to legislate to others about those matters that is problematic.

They only need go with the global rule given in scripture:
"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled" Hebrews 13:4
And whatever happens in the sacred marriage bed is no one else's business!!

Under Roman Catholic law if you had a brother and he died do you have to go into his widow?

If a normally fertile couple have sex frequently without contraception (so woman is ovulating and nothing prevents sperm from meeting egg), their "chance" of the woman conceiving each month (i.e. embryo getting as far as implantation, which occurs just before missed period) is 1 in 3.
So what happens the other 2 out of 3 times? We don't know for certain, but we do know that embryos created through IVF very often fail to implant when placed in the womb. So it's not unreasonable to suspect that an awful lot of normally fertilised ova (one estimate is 50%) fail to implant for one reason or another.
If we're talking methods that don't kill embryos (like condemns), vast majority of Christian people will say "no" to this. The few dissenting voices will be some conservative Catholics. But even those people will embrace other forms of birth control (NFP, etc).
Majority of Christians are also against elective abortions.
As for myself: I'm totally cool with birth control in marriage, and anti-elective abortions.

I find this illogical and unscientific.
What is this "miscellaneous unformed fetal tissue"? If it's not "a living being", is it therefore inanimate or dead? When does it suddenly morph into a living human baby? 10 seconds before birth? 1 week before birth? 3 months? 6 months? If it's born very prematurely (say at 25 weeks gestation), how do you make a distinction between that and a full-term baby?
I suggest you study some embryology. In reality, no fetal tissue is "unformed" - already by the time of implantation it has structure. Within a few weeks it has a human shape and a detectable heartbeat, so by no stretch of the imagination can it be described as "inanimate".
What is NFC.? Neither my wife nor I have ever heard the term... and google searches turn up nothing.
