Conception Control
Conception Control
Avoiding Antinomianism and Legalism
About the Book
What does the Bible say about sex? This book answers these questions:
Is conception part of the Dominion Mandate? If so, are there limits to man’s dominion?
In what ways did the Fall impact the conception portion of the Dominion Mandate? In what ways does Redemption impact conception?
May a couple seek medical help in order to conceive? Are there limits to what medicine can ethically achieve in conception?
Are there sexual practices within marriage that the Bible prohibits? Where in the Bible does it mention spilling seed in a negative context and where does it speak of it in a positive context?
How does one’s view of birth control impact other areas of life?
