Doesn’t God ask our free “yes” when creating another person? Is our consent not important to Him? If we have free will to choose good or bad, isn’t procreation included? Is the anunciation to Virgin Mary just FYI only for her? If it’s already been set up for her to accept, why announce? I believe God puts so much value to our free choice that He did not remove the “tree” from paradise even if eating its fruit will make humanity suffer thereafter – He let Adam and Eve act freely.

We have used contraception and still had 2 kids by “accident”. I take these 2 kids as God’s will for us, for in spite of the contraception, they were conceived. We love them and believe God definitely meant them to be.

The last paragraph of your post is a little confusing to me. are you saying that why not use the contraception because God will allow you to get pregnant anyway? if that is the case why not use the same logic and apply it the other way and say i will trust God and if i am not supposed to get pregnant then he will not allow it. also the defense that the modern “church” accepts contraception and so it must be ok holds no water for me. We should not measure what is right or wrong according to what any “man” may say but by the word of God. To him alone are we accountable. just look at the downward spiral that the value of human life has taken over the last 50 years first contraception and the notion that we should decide the number of children we should be having or that it is irresponsible to have more than 2 or 3. and now we look at a country who accepts abortion! just think if christians really stood up for truth and spoke out against these ideas. I am so grateful that the Lord took the blinders and revealed his heart for family and for LIFE. i have 4 children now and i can’t imagine life without any of them. They are a living walking testament to love my husband and i share both in and out of the bedroom! If i sound harsh so be it, but it is out of a heart that is being broken by the thought of so many lives left unborn because of a selfish generation.

So, you’re saying it’s morally wrong to use the pill, or latex as a contraceptive. However using knowledge as a contraceptive is perfectly fine?
NFP is about 90% effective. (American Pregnancy)
condoms or the pill are only a little more effective than that. Comparing straight effectiveness, there isn’t much different.

You’re equating sex to becoming pregnant and having a child. If you have surrendered your life to God you will know whether or not he wants you to have more children than you presently have now. This is a gray area in the bible. The desicion to use contraception should be between your marriage and God, not doctrine. You also did not really provide clear evidence denying what was said in the post.

I am curious what you think 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 is talking about. Please let us know…

By the way: when the Bible refers to “Fear God” it is usually in the old context – something was lost in the original translations because of the differences between the original texts and English as well as other languages. To “Fear” God” does not mean to be afraid of God, but to respect and trust in God. Why would a Loving God who sacrificed Himself for us on the Cross want us to live in fear of him – He wants us to FREELY love, adore, respect and worship him for the great, Loving, and Merciful Creator He is. And why would he want us to live in marriages full of frustration and temptation? I submit to you that he does not want us to live that way. Thus he gave us 1 Corinthians 7:1-5.
