   A very good course for foundational faith of every disciple of Jesus.

   to be fruitful and muitlply, and to trust God, but it also says to be wise. The Bible also specifically says that before a man begins to build a tower, he first sits down and weighs the cost, or before a king goes out to war, he first determines whether or not he can win. Some marriages are simply not ready for children, as are some budgets. Some families are strained, even while love abounds, with the amount of children they already have. Introducing more children into these families can be damaging, and only abstinence or contraception can avoid that. The Bible definitively speaks against abstinence in marriage, but not once against contraception. Finally, while perhaps some people may never have heard anyone say they wish they’d had fewer kids, we must remember what a socially unacceptable thing that is to say, even if it’s true. It’s like admitting that we like one of our children more than another, or that some days we want to pretend like we’re single and free again. There are things we sometimes feel, but never say, because we know how bad it sounds, even if it’s true. However we don’t base our doctrine or our moral decisions on what people say or don’t say. I think those who want large families and feel like contraception becomes a trust issue for them should be supported in not using it. But people who use contraception wisely to preserve their marriages and to focus their love and attention on the children they already have should be supported also, not condemned for having little faith.
