What is God's will regarding the use of birth control?

Morganite.....great question and comments. When will women quite buying into this lie that we own our bodies???

Prettypetite, I acknowledge that there are other belief systems out there but there is still only one Creator....and it is He that created us (including you), he knew us before we were in our mother's womb.

Your not fighting a law, a political stance, nor a religion. Your fighting a spiritual battle and your not even aware. Don't let popular belief nor modern day trends lead your astray.....know who your enemy is. Believe me, he knows you.

So, women don't own their bodies?

I hope you realize that there are natural substances that work like contraceptives. Slaves used them all the time here in America.

That's why there's the "morning after" pill. Abortions usually can't be done until the middle of the first trimester, I think?

Also, I'm on birth control, and at my age, why not? It's better to be prepared for when you have a child and everyone needs sexual freedom.

...did you not bother to read the rest of my post? Yes, I own the body that God made for me.....and I can make chioces to do with my body as I please. However, as a child of God; I try to walk in truth and light and make choices that are based on the word of God....not opinions from men (and women) who kill our unborn children in the name of "feminism."

Who are we to judge people in god's name? People should have the right to privacy which includes the ability to use birth control. It is not anyone's place to judge other people. I'm not a religious person, but I do believe in god and god forgives all humans. You have the freedom to oppose contraception, but you shouldn't impose your biblical beliefs on others.

Let's say you are in no financial position to, but you end up having five kids, and you can barely provide for them. Why would your put your "loyalty" to God over the well-being of children? Why have a child if you cannot provide a good life for them, don't you think that's unfair?

You are the kind of WEIRDOS who are trying to shut down Planned Parenthood and contraceptives. Do you have any idea about how horrible and painful illegal abortions were, and how it would be if they were like that again? Who said women kill their babies in the name of "feminism"? Did God "say" feminism is wrong too?

I think contraception & that does not include abortion is a very logical approach. For those of you guys who are totally against it, try going to third world countries where they have 11 children, no work & still in their late 30s. There are still countries who discourage contraception & they have children dying from poverty & malnutrition. The teachings of the Church may be against contraception but 1 thing,we have a REASONABLE & UNDERSTANDING God who knows that at these times, too many children is not practical. I would rather be protected than add misery to this world bringing forth children I could not even support! That for me, would even be a bigger sin.

I agree Dimples but the fundamentalist christians may come back and say that sexual relations are only for procreation. Which would mean I guess that if you have 2 kids you've had sex a grand total of 2 times in your life. If that's how they want to live their life that's fine with me.

......my original email response was a guideline to contraception. My second response was tageted at abortion. I agree with many of the comments about the use of contraceptives when a family cannot afford or is not able to emotionally or financially accommodate children. However, this WEIRDO does not advocate abortion for any reason......and my fundamentalist attitude extends this to the following scenarios: RAPE, DISEASE, ETC. Murder is Murder.

Let me try to restate my comments so those of you who are so quick to lash out with name calling might have an opportunity to think before you type.

You can believe what you want to believe; those are your freedoms afforded to you by God himself. I am simply stating the truth that Satan, yes Satan, is very cunning and manipulative. You are so concerned that a human being is trying to convert you to a way of truth and your blinded to the fact that Satan himself is converting your thought patterns. He (Satan) always manipulates us with things, thoughts, and false beliefs that seem so logical that we never question them...we just follow blindly.

To summarize, I know that many of you cannot wait to come back with accusations, crass assumptions, and some of you may resort to name calling. So be it....this WEIRDO will pray for you....your salvation and the salvation of your future generations. Your not fighiting against me or people like me....your fight is against an enemy that your in denial about.
