Christians: The Use of Contraception is a Sin[W:40]

What do you think is meant by, "this water, that causeth the curse..."
Where modern interpretation of the word "curse" relates to the menses.

It causes some distortion in the pelvic area, but that's about all we can get from the passage. There's certainly no good reason to assume it's an abortion.
 
True, not much else there to interpret. But clearly if a woman who is pregnant gets the menses... it means game over.

The origin of menses as "the curse" is not completely clear. But it is an ancient term relating to the menses, I think.
Only a woman would know for sure.
 
IF it was important, Jesus would have discussed it.....so it is not a sin.
 
In my view, we are merely experiencing a "market failure" in the market for morals. Ethics tells us that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Nonsense. Did Jesus leave us a plain list of sins? No. We know what is sinful, and we can follow the spirit of Christ to know.
 
Contraception existed in the Roman Empire. The early church was unanimous on the issue of birth control and opposed it totally. In fact, Augustine went even further than the Catholic Church today does, as he even opposed sex on known infertile days. For him, sex should only be used for procreation. So why is it that there was total unanimity in the early Roman Empire, yet today it is okay? Were the early Christians wrong? Has truth changed? Or is contraception still evil?

The truth has evolved. People of that time were way more controlled and hostages of evil religions who wanted to substantially increase the number of donors to the church to maintain their power over the ignorant.
