The Bible does not specifically address the issue of birth control. Understand when the scriptures were written condoms, the pill, diaphragms , IUDs , vasectomies and tubal ligations hadn't been developed yet. There is also insufficient evidence to determine whether enough was understood about monthly cycles for the people of the time to even practice the rhythm method. The only potential means of birth control was withdrawl, which today we know is so ineffective that it's not even worth it. Any denominational teachings about birth control are based on inferences and guesswork. The most prudent argument is that since the scriptures do not specifiaclly prohibit it, then it's permissible so long as its use does not lead to a violation of any other divine laws.Quote:
