Obviously it was created to feel good, and we are supposed to like it, but when its done with latex and other man-made materials for the sole purpose of closing the womb, the only thing left is recreational sex. Children are an heritage of the Lord, the fruits of the womb are a reward (Psalms 127). Scripturally, only the Lord opens and closes the womb Genesis 20:18, 29:31). I must admit that until recently, my views on child prevention were personal. I was asked for my opinion on the matter by a sister that has commented on this blog, and instead of referencing scripture as I normally would, I told her that I felt it was unnatural, and in my home, my wife and I calculated ovulations, etc. if we felt we needed to avoid conception, and that I personally would feel deviant having sex with latex. I wasn't withholding the above scripture in my answer, I just never had any reason to study the matter prior to now. A cursory study of the scriptures shows that children are a blessing, it is the Lord that is to decide when the womb is fruitful or barren, etc. and I could find NO scripture allowing for child prevention in the form of anything other than abstinence. In closing, in regards to the above comments on abortion, this sisters' reasoning for "birth control" was *exactly* the reasoning used for abortions: it's *her* body, she isn't ready for a baby, no man is going to tell her what to do , etc.Max Floaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580992895548248472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190362753234566788.post-59856059764610327252009-06-03T19:29:12.784-07:002009-06-03T19:29:12.784-07:00I love to cook too!

Not right now, tho. :-)<br /><br />As for Christie and her getting pregnant again while breastfeeding, it happens ALL the time. People have to remember that breastfeeding does not mean 100% that you can't get pregnant. Thus far, it has indeed worked for ME, in MY life but I am only one woman lol. I know many others who could NEVER trust breastfeeding to hold off ovulation...<br /><br />I love your family!

When you take birth control out of the situation then there is no such thing as "casual sex" and you truly have to weigh your feelings toward the person you have sex with. I can also understand that you didn't appreciate the gravitas of your wedding night until you were in the moment due to our collectively cavalier cultural sexual attitudes. When my late wife and I elected to have a child it required us to have unprotected sex for the first time in our relationship. This was simultaneously frightening and romantic in that we essentially renewed our vows to each other that night. In summary, your commentaries on this topic are a condemnation of our culture. <br /><br />You will enjoy your cooking school and maybe you can post some of the recipes you learn.Marcus Aureliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616619781801519339noreply@blogger.com
