Wade Burleson takes on "Quiverfull Theology"

Posted by Kevin in Manila at 6:34 PM

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, "Quiverfull Theology" refers to the belief that any form of contraception is a sin against God and you should simply "allow God to plan your family."

This belief has been gaining ground among some conservative evangelicals.  Wade Burleson, a Southern Baptist Pastor, has done an excellent job in exposing some of the problems in Quiverfull Theology.

Here's his post:

The Catholic church here teaches that too, that family planning is a sin.

I disagree. I believe God has left it entirely to us how many children we're going to have or not.

I believe God made the first human beings but not their offsprings. He designed the womb, sex and the process of producing BUT I don't think God makes each individual person, and his/her life already planned and predestined BUT rather, each one (After Adam and Eve) a biological product of the union of both man and woman.

I don't believe God designed Hitler to be a murderer, that his soul had long been predestined to go to hell.
