Carson Weber Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 1. What Church Synod issued a Bible commentary which stated that contraception was the same as abortion? 2. What theologian declared in the 1500's that birth control was the murder of future persons? 3. What priest in the 1700's declared that taking "preventative measures" was unnatural and would destroy the souls of those who practiced it? 4. Who declared that birth control was sodomy? 5. What church group ruled in the 1600's that a church official found guilty of birth control was no longer allowed to hold his position? 6. What well known theologian said, "We do not believe in what is termed 'birth control'"? If you think that the above statements were made by Roman Catholics, then your quiz score is "Zero". The answers are: 1. The Synod of Dort; 2. John Calvin; 3. John Wesley; 4. Martin Luther; 5. The Pilgrims; 6 Arthur Pink. From The Bible and Birth Control by Charles D. Provan (Monongahela, PA: Zimmer Printing, 1989). I just received 2 copies in the mail today. If anyone is interested in a copy, give me an email.

Dave Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I saw that quiz on the Peter and Paul Ministries site. It was surprising, to say the least. But I guess that just goes to show you just how far Protestantism has since fallen. Once they broke with the barque of Peter, reversing ages-old moral teachings was just waiting to happen. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they don't see it. I guess they're still "reforming"! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleflower+JMJ Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 where have you been carson? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Yes, this is very interesting. I read a commentary from a Catholic recently who said that contraception and the contraceptive mentality has helped pave the way towards the gay marriage movement. You seperate the procreative and unitive in the marriage act, voila -- society says: "anything goes, as long as you love each other" as far as marriage is concerned.

Mostly working for http://www.SalvationHistory.com and busy with graduate studies, but this weekend I flew home to Texas to attend the funeral of my 95 year old grandmother who had 16 children.

Anna Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Doncha mean,"falling..."? Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Carson, may your dearly departed grandmother rest in peace. Nathan also lost his grandmother this week, after a long illness. Now you both have a very special someone interceding for you. Pax Christi. <>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Hey Carson, I'm really sorry about your grandmother. I lost my grandmother back in March, and she was just about as old as yours -- she was 92. I'll be sure to pray for her as well as for you and the rest of your family.
