Birth control

[a.baker]

How is birth control viewed in everyones own opinions? How would God view it? These questions are only considering that the female is happily married and her husband is aware and for birth control.

Nothing wrong with it, as in blocking pregnancy.

Wow CI I didn't expect that response. I wonder what biblically is the basis for that thinking? I have heard the opposite in more cases than not. I personally have undergone surgery as our birth control and am sometimes questioned about it in a very kind manner. It would be great if you and others would reply to this question as it is something I have never seriously delved into. Thanks for the question AB.

You must be listening to a lot of Catholics, then.

There is absolutely no command in the Bible that sex must allow for pregnancy. None.

The command, in Genesis, to populate the world is fulfulled.

After my second pregnancy I had a tubal litigation...(hoped I spelled that right)....
I think that God would rather me do that then to have more kids that I cannot afford...
...but one of my sins....when I was 17/18 was that I had an abortion....my father and mil/fil told me that I needed to...and I was scared...so I did it...I believe that I may be in trouble for this one when I finally go to heaven....but I don't mind as long as I make it into heaven....and I know that I will...cuz I believe in Jesus...sorry for sharing my personal life...but I feel like I need to start confessing to others all of my sins that I have been hiding...:sob:

I to had an abortion,
I could use the excuse that I believed in evolution and didnt know the truth , but in my heart I knew. I was so selfish , and self completly took over. I have broken all of the commandments.
that is what makes Gods grace so Amazing . It has been difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that Jesus loves me . I mean how could he after all the things that I have done . It makes me all too aware of how in need of a saviour I am , and how grateful I should be , I say should be because I dont think i am nearly as grateful as I should be . I should be on my knees crying and washing the Lords feet with my tears.

Jer: 17:9
The heart is decietful above all things, and desperately wicked.

this is my favorite verse , may seem strange but it comforts me in a way . the Lord already knew how wicked I was /am , and still drew me to himself.

God forgives the repentent.

Look, society has so long pushed it is okay it is hard to hold it against one who has one and later realizes it is wrong.

Not good. But, unfortunately, how it can happen can be, but not always is, understandable.

I take the Depo shot and it leaves huge indents on my skin of where the shot was given and kinda hurts my bones a little. I can't take the pill because thats how I got pregnant with my daughter. It also messed with my emotions big time. After that I just can't afford anything else. What I get now is covered by planned parent hood but anything different and I would have to pay for it. I almost got an abortion but changed my mind last minute. The clinic is where I found out I was pregnant and everything and I even had an appointment set up and the money ready to go. I can understand how one can get to that point and it is a very scary decision. The decision is usually made with someone else's pressure on top of it and its usually someone close to you. Being pregnant unexpectantly is very scary! Because of you both confessing to God and truly being sorry for it, He will forgive you. Thats what Jesus did for us. Don't let anyone else hold it against you or make you feel bad about it all over again. We all made mistakes and some are worse than others but God will forgive with ones repentance.

Agreed. So then, be at peace, roman8 and cbressler1976.

roman8 and cbressler.... :hug:

God doesn't even remember it against you now. He doesn't hold past sins from before your conversion against you. Remember, the Word of God says that there is therefore now no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus.

Rest well, now. Your sins are in the sea of forgetfulness.

His grace is a beautiful thing.
