This is the major cause of sexual immorality in our society today with its terrifying consequenses.It is the major reason why their is a very high rate of abortions,one abortion every second.It is the major reason why men cheat on thier wives i can go on and on on the consequeses of abusing such a wonderful gift as sex.We should also know that sex is the spring in which the whole of the human race springs from.To distort or poison it could lead to the destruction of the human race.The question now is.What is sex?

koonbey:
Biology determines how many children you'll have.

Inasmuch as you should trust God to determine your life, God has also given us intellect to ensure that we can take decisions of our own. You don't go eating trash food and saying God is the one who determines who becomes ill... You take precautions to ensure that you get the kind of health you want.

Very much correct sir.

IS IT A SIN FOR MARRIED COUPLES TO USE CONDOMS?

---

This post is an offshoot of a recent thread titled, "Are we truly safe when we commit sin with condoms?"

https://www.nairaland.com/5582353/truly-safe-when-commit-sin

That thread was primarily intended to use the Truth of Jesus Words to disprove the idea being sold by the world in the name of "safe sex", that someone who commits a sexual sin, let's say, adultery, using a condom could yet be truly safe.

But then a someone with the moniker @Prettyjanet1 pops up with this interesting question:



So that's obviously where I got the thread title from, and this was my answer to the question:



So married couples using condoms was not considered a sin to me then, and that corroborated my position on the Op of that thread that I wasn't against the use of condoms because I didn't believe that it was a bad thing.

But then came someone else with the moniker @Godsonjolly with the following question:



This was my response:



Then he said:



But his comment seemed to make some sense to me, hence my response:

Therefore his comment agreed with my inclination on the use of condoms amongst married couples, because I believe that God should have the last say on the amount of kids a couple should have, even though at the time I didn't consider it to be a sin if they did so.

However the difference in this case was that I somehow just found it hard to include the part that "it was not a sin to me" in the final post of my conversation with him, as I did in my response to the first question, even though I had initially typed it. So I just had to chop that part off before posting, because at that point, it just felt quite uncomfortable to include it, as it just didn't seem right.

So it seemed my initial position about married couples using condoms during sex not being a sin had began to experience a bit of a wobble.

And to add to that uncertainty, there was a development I had noticed after making that thread, and it was the word "condom" suddenly beginning to feature in my tongues. But I felt very uncomfortable with that for obvious reasons, even though I had just done a thread that had something to do with that, as I had expected to move on from that since I had accomplished what I intended with that thread. So the last thing I was expecting was for it to start showing up in my tongues.

But it was later when I began to say "condom na sirin" repeatedly in tongues, that the picture began to become clearer of what the message appeared to be, as it sounded like "condom na sin" in pidgin English.

I began to have the feeling that perhaps the Holy Spirit wasn't pleased with the impression I had given about the use of condoms on the Op of that thread, where I said that I wasn't against the use of condoms and didn't believe that it was a bad thing, so that i would correct it.

But it was when I came back to the thread and saw where I had categorically responded to @Prettyjanet1's question, and said that use of condoms by married couples wasn't a sin, and had followed my responses up til the final response I gave on that same matter, where I was no longer comfortable to say it was a sin as i had done initially, that it became much clearer to me what actually happened then, and what that had to do with my spoken tongues about condoms.

So I believe the message of the Spirit of God is that it is a sin in God's sight for marriage couples to use condoms, just as that brother @Godsonjolly had insinuated, to correct my initial response that it wasn't a sin.

And though I don't think it's a sin that could lead married couples to hell, I believe that God is not happy when married couples use condoms during sex, as it usurps Him of His right as the One who determines giving kids or not in a marriage.

This may have been one of the things that displeased God concerning Onan that made Him slay him as was suggested by @Godsonjolly, for in the Bible days there were no condoms, so child bearing among married couples was solely God's prerogative, therefore Onan may have also dishonored God by what he did.

This is not intended to frighten or judge married couples, however I believe that especially for christians, it's best to follow the examples given in the Bible where childbearing in marriage was usually attributed to God, and the amount of children was determined by Him, so that condoms would not take God's place in determining how many kids they have.

That would obviously require married couples completely trusting God concerning childbearing, but i believe the marriages of those do so surely shall surely reap the rewards of them placing such extent of trust in God, because God alone best knows how many children a married couple should have.

God bless.

Gen 38:9 and so on ,is for people who plan on cheating and deceiving God.
Even in the act of apostles a man and his wife tried to cheat and deceive God similar faith awaits them.

His spilling of his semen on the floor was not the sin but deceiving God.

Condom outside of matrimonial union is a sin.

I agree

otipoju:
Na all these kain stupid questions dey make people think sey christians are stupid.

From the beginning of time, and before the manufacturing of condoms, societies have always found a way to do birth control. Wether by neutralizing the sperm with chemicals, the withdrawal method or by timing the ovulation cycle.

Sin is simply rebellion against God. Choosing to impregnate or not to impregnate your wife in itself, has nothing to do with rebelling against God.

Therefore, the story of Onan must be understood for what it is and in the proper context. Onan had a duty to perform as a kinsman but did not carry out the obligation he voluntarily signed up for.

According to custom...he could have politely refused jejely and let the woman move on with her life by marrying another kinsman or a non relation altogether. Instead, Onan chose to cheat the system ny using a simple trick

First, he dishonored and betrayed his brother, and second he kept stealing from the innocent woman by enjoying her body but repeatedly failing to fulfill his part of the bargain to continue his brother's line by impregnating the woman.

He thought he was smart but the God sees everything and fights for widows executed justice on him for his wickedness.

Fire is neither good nor bad...its just fire! but when you deliberately use fire to burn down your neighbours house...then you are the wicked one and not the fire .

To me I don' t think it is a sin, but then if it is a sin, there are so many things that sinful even other means of birth control are sinful as well. The use of condom by couple to control child birth is an invention bourn out of wisdom God gave man to make life easy for himself, as long as it is within the scope of marriage.

I hate condoms..didn't even use it when I hosted an escort

NigPatriot:

OP, So you've never heard of family planning?

This concept of sin has kept Africa backward for way too long. Condom is one of man's best invention, just imagine a world, where for every sex encounter; a progeny is born. Then we would be walking on peoples head by now.

Second. It is one thing to give a gun to someone and it is another thing for the person to know how & for what to use it, that is religious for you in Africa.

Which kind dumb question is this...


If you like, use sachet water nylon no one cares.

jesusjnr, from all your posts I have seen so far, you seem to be spiritual but to me you lack understanding. Pray for wisdom which God gives liberally and also pray for understanding. I have been wanting to say this for a while now.

7 reasons married couples might choose to use condoms:


7.Maybe one or both of them was raped by someone not wearing a condom, and bare ejaculation in the body is triggering and traumatic.

You're just about senile! You just "assume" and list out "facts"?

O.S

what is Billings method again madam?

I want to know too.

First thought i had was that when having sex, the woman "bills" the man. Something like, "honey i want 100k".

...the man won't "cum" again na.

Hence, "Billings" method!

O.S

Yes. Catholic faith prohibit it. I'm a Catholic this also has made me stop receiving Communion. Its really difficult unless I want to be father Abraham lol

God bless.

If you condemn the use of condom, what about pills, or withdrawal method, or hormone injections and other forms of birth control??

Speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent. And when making inferences, please make inferences within the intentions of the writer.

The Bible CLEARLY is against fornication and adultery (whether or not condom is involved).

Sex is only permitted in marriage, and the purpose of sex ISN'T only for procreation, there's pleasure therein also. 1cor 7:
2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;
9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

You cannot use the case of Onan to judge on condom, because God's clear instruction to him was to sleep with his dead brothers wife SO THAT HE COULD IMPREGNATE HER, but enjoyed the pleasure of the sexual act, and instead of pouring his seed into his brothers wife to get her pregnant, he poured it on the floor. Now that action was pure wickedness, and God punished him for it.

So if a married couple decides to have sex for its pleasure and use means to prevent pregnancy, that is still within the purpose of God for sex. And if the married couple decides to have sex to bring forth a child, that's still great, and of for both reasons that still awesome.

Don't restrict sex in marriage to child bearing alone.

Billing method is when both parties have safe sex without loss of life..

It is not a sin once you are legally married, but if you considered it to be a sin, Oyo is your case. You would have given birth to a complete football team before you realize your mistake.

deltateam:


All these epistles for what exactly?

That's why I hate seeking validation from men. God gave man a conscience for a reason but some will rather pretend its not there while the rest suppress it with hard substances.

It not by force.

This post Is just meant to correct my original position that it wasn't a sin, due to pressure from the Spirit of God.

So you must not accept it.

Nice post. Well done!

post=85121344:
7 reasons married couples might choose to use condoms:

1.Maybe one or both of them is unfaithful.

2.Maybe one or both of them has an infection.
Maybe one of them was born HIV positive.
Maybe one of them contracted herpes from a previous partner, or from childhood sexual abuse, and doesn't want to infect the other. Maybe one of them works in a career that has them coming into regular contact with blood-borne pathogens.

3.Maybe they don't want children yet or ever, but the woman can't take hormonal birth control because she has cardiovascular disease and it would put her at high risk for stroke, or because it gives her severe nausea.

4.Maybe it's against her religion, or she just doesn't like synthetic hormones in her body. Maybe condoms are a back-up in addition to birth control pills for a woman who is known to be forgetful with taking them, or has gotten pregnant while being on the pill before and prefers a condom as a safety net.

5.Maybe they like condoms. Maybe they think the ones that have warming and cooling sensations, or ribbed ones with tingling lube, feel good and add to their sexual enjoyment.

6.Maybe they want to prolong the sexual encounter and make the man last longer before having an orgasm.Maybe their favorite part of the sexual encounter is holding each other afterwards, and condoms make it such that they can lay there and cuddle with minimal interruption for clean-up.

7.Maybe one or both of them was raped by someone not wearing a condom, and bare ejaculation in the body is triggering and traumatic.

Have a nice Xmas Week ahead Everyone!

If you are not married, you look more like an i.mbec.ile when you try to give a piece of advice you know nothing about. Advice should be given by people that are experienced and wise, and it is glaring that you don't make it to that list.

The Op doesn't even look like someone with a decent job. You want people without the means to procreate endlessly, even with the Bible saying that a man who is unable to provide for his household is worse than an infidel?

Your pastor, and whoever it is that teaches you this crapp should be brought to the market square and given 39 strokes of the cane, in three successions like it was practiced by the Ancient Jews.

It is only a brain that is hopelessly enslaved that interprets everything in the light of sin. Christ came to repair man's mentality, to stop people thinking like that.

Op should go back to Sunday school and ask questions that are not above his/her age grade.

Lol!

You could call someone an imbecil and yet want preach about Christ.

Even the devil can do that.

You need to repent because you are on an express way to hell.
