33. The justification for not having sex with no possibility of procreation...

Mon Nov 10, 2025, 08:53 PM

Nov 2025

Is based on a man pulling out early during intercourse with a woman and spilling his seed on the ground. In the OT abortion is okay if the woman had an affair and got pregnant. They would give her bitter water to induce abortion. Jesus never talked about sex or abortion. He just said that a man can only divorce a woman for adultery.

There are theology books on the subject in libraries & book stores.

They base their objection on the "you shall not murder" commandment. While the 10 Commandments are from the WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2025 #1

Sure, I'm not saying they're consistent or correct. "Righteous" killings are somehow different. But if you ask the WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2025 #13

LOL malaise Nov 2025 #20

So presumably they are all utterly opposed PoindexterOglethorpe Nov 2025 #26

No. That's considered a righteous killing, not murder (which is an unrighteous killing). WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2025 #30

Righteous, not righteous, it's still murder. PoindexterOglethorpe Nov 2025 #47

Their answer would be that that is your standard, not God's. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2025 #48

Clearly, then, God is a hypocrite. PoindexterOglethorpe Nov 2025 #49
