Topic: Contraception

[Alonso_castillo]

Genesis 1:27-28

27 God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiply ; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth."


Psalm 127

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

[Mickey]

Just let your thoughts show them selves. ¿What do you think about contraception?

My thoughts are conducive to a post offered by Fr Ambrose.  I will post it here:

There is a consensus among the Russian, Greek Serbian, Romanian and Antiochian Churches (I cannot speak for the other Churches since I have never had the opportunity to become acquainted with their teaching on this matter.)

The above Orthodox Churches allow contraception when

1.  it is non-abortive

2.  it is for grave and justifiable reasons

3.  it is for a limited time
.........(although health consideration may influence this)

4  it is used with the blessing of the parish priest or spiritual father or mother
.........(although this is not strictly necessary)

Oh, but that's not real contraception.  
It still provides enough room for God to act.

I suppose you could make the same claim for condoms though, as they are not immune to breakage.

You may not have heard about this in New Zealand but we had a deadly sniper in my neighborhood a few years ago ( John Allen Muhammad). I have a bit of military training so we taught the kids "Skirmish drill" running and then flopping down on the ground and signally the next person to run past you, flop down, repeat until you all get across the field.. It's a sort of a leap frog affair..

My sweet little daughter would run arms flailing like the little girl she was and then mightily throw herself on the ground giggling. She would forget to signal the next person behind her.The family Army thing didn't work out so good for us .

The sniper was caught after killing about 13 people over three weeks or so. The State recently sent him to his maker, may God be merciful.

Protestant couple dialogue afterwards:

"Why do they have so many children?"

"Because every time they have sexual intercourse they have to have a baby."

"But it's the same with us."

"What do you mean?"

"Well we've had sexual intercourse twice and we have two children."

(I actually knew a family, the wife Latin American, who puportedly had sex only three times in 20 years, and had two sons.  Talk about lucky shots).

The FIRST COMMAND from GOD to MAN and WOMAN was to MULTIPLY, Can we opose artificially to fulfill such command?

So why RCs do not have sex each month during the woman's ovulation but count the inbreedy days instead? Do you have sex with your wife any time she has ovulation?

Is that artifitial?

The calendar - no. But it is the violation of God's commandment (as interpreted by you) in the very same way as condoms are.

In the calendar, you know that it may fail, and you accept concecuences.

You also know that condoms may fail, or the pill may fail, or withdrawal may fail... so.

Genesis 1:27-28

27 God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiply ; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth."


Psalm 127

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.



¿What do you think? ¿Is contraception Biblical?

I see in Genesis that The first comand given by God to Man is to Multiply

Well tell Pope Paul to close down all those NFP clinics and tell them to commence with the multiplying.

now we know your thoughts about others, but ¿And you particular opinion about yourself?

I'm not married right now, so I'm all for me not conceiving right now.

You don't need to be married to take a position, perhaps it will change once you are married but for sure you have one now.

You asked my particular opinion about myself. I'm not married at present (although I was), so that is my position.

Sorry, about your marriage, but anyway you must have an opinion, either with God or you own. ¿Don't you?

You assume my opinion isn't God's.

Unless You are God, you don't have God's opinion,

Of course I do.  God's opinion is that the Spirit proceeds from the Father, and that's my opinion too.

but you can have an opinion similar to God's one, as similar as to be the same, but not His.

The latter is a distinction without a difference.

You will agree with me that such devices are artifitial, wont you?

Consequences.  My, that's a wonderful way to think of children.

The calendar method has a failure rate that is astounding. Women do not ovulate according to a specific timeline.

I thought latex was a natural substance from your neck of the woods:


but you can go sheep skin, which is also natural.

Lord knows what they put in those pills.  If it is herbs, would that be OK?

Withdrawal....same equipment, different procedure.
