Discuss thinking Biblically about birth control

Answers

Nothing has aided feminism more than the pill and other birth control methods. By neutering woman she has the 'wo' stripped from her womanhood. She now wants to be more like man. She doesn't think she could be fulfilled unless she acts and talks like a man. She is deceived. All of this rejects God's purposed and beautiful design of woman.

Biblical Principles from Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Genesis 1:28) This implies that:
1. We should not generally use birth control. The teaching 'be fruitful and multiply' is a truth which begs to teach wisdom to those advocating birth control. This command to 'be fruitful and multiply' is one of God's great commandments, which shape our overall lives.

2. We should see having many children as one of God's great designs to accomplish His greater purposes in our lives and in His kingdom. We may or may not understand how He can use our families. This doesn't matter. As we trust Him, He will reveal this.

3. We need to focus on having many children. We should expect, hope and pray for many children. If we only reluctantly accept our duty rather than eagerly accept it, then our hearts toward God, our children and perhaps our spouse will be far short of what it needs to be.

4. We should not be content with the usual one or two children unless God has given us only this number. Some wonder whether they can handle a greater number of children. God has shared in His Word how to raise godly children under full control.

5. We should not allow our socio-economic situation control the number of children we have. Some children will be poor and others live through times of oppression. We can fully trust God with these circumstances for after all they are His creation. We trust God will provide and accomplish His greater purposes because of our faith. Moses is just one example.

6. We should focus on raising godly children that will bring greater blessings to the world. God saves those outside the family and inside the family. Why should we neglect this means of growing God's family.
