Featured Family Planning

Not so much for this thread, but when Steven said, "for me I would try to simply do whatever my conscience felt the Word told me to do", I always caution not to use that as an excuse not to do what the Word commands. For instance, "thou shalt not steal" is not a matter of conscience. Matters of ambiguity are different and not what I am addressing.

 

Bub I have had four children. I have been fruitful. I will not have any more because I do not want to be raising kids at my age. The phrase to be fruitful and multiply in no way implies or outright means to have children unending. Such an idea cannot be defended.

 

Actually, it isn't so much the over population, but the intent of the ruling bodies to remain in control.

Both India and China could well support far more people if their governments were "for the (all) people," but they are not.

 

Jacob had 12 children, but His father Isaac had, what, two? I think you should have as many kids as you can afford to provide for. The Bible says if you provide not for your own, you're worse than an infidel. My Wife and I had 3 kids but the doctor advised against having any more because of a medical condition. Have as many as you can provide for and use common sense.

 

Family planning should not avoid the husband being responsible for being "snipped" which is far less involved than the wife having to provide all the protection.

Real men usually plan ahead and prepare. We do it for vacations, education expenses, retirement, health and medical needs. Why not take care of the family planning in a decisive and relatively inexpensive way?

 

when God comes down and tells me I am to bear his prophetic child then I will concede and wait for him to reverse my vasectomy

 

Yes they do. The welfare crowd breeds like rabbits as well. We pay dead beats to have more dead beats, and we wonder why our nation is gone to Hell in a hand basket.

 

There are side effects to vasectomy. It is not always as simple as many think. I would not do it again.

 

We form opinions on many issues that are not scripturally clear.

 

I wasn't aware of any side effects when I had mine, over 25 years ago. I wouldn't do it again either, but, what's done is done.

 

I was not aware of them until I had them. Dr. Then told me that complications are very common.

 

Safer than the side effects of a what the woman goes through!

Do men take hormone replacement?

 

Maybe you should study the issue a bit better and stop repeating antiquated talking points.

Many men take hormo,e replacement. Again, move out of the 1980s Ang get in 21st Century.

 

So, only those of the twenty-first century have side effects?

Or are you posting that it is better for a woman to undergo prevention, but men shouldn't have to avoid side effects?

I don't understand what "talking points" from the 1980's you consider I am posting.

 

I said vasectomies regularly have side effects. They occasionally have severe side effects. I honestly don't give a rip how you interpret or apply that information. It is a medical fact.
