Christian faith and contraception
Hi,
The Bible doesn’t say anything about condoms. But the Bible is very clear that sex belongs only within the context of marriage, so it is hard to understand why your boyfriend chooses to think the way he does. It’s totally illogical for you to go on the pill when he says he can’t use a condom. Some people are against contraception in general, but it would be illogical of your boyfriend to use this argument when he breaks another rule, that of having sex outside of marriage. You should absolutely not let him pressure you to have sex without contraception in order to pressure you to get married. That is not the way to prepare for a lifelong marriage relationship. You should stop having sex with him if he continues to put the risk of getting pregnant onto you. You are too young to think about marriage yet, and being sexually active together is part of the intimacy that binds you together in a marriage. When you have sex with another person, you become one with that person in spirit, soul and body, and that is the biggest reason why sex outside of marriage can harm us.
You and your boyfriend should sit down and read some of our website and then you can get some new ideas about how you can be a boyfriend and a girlfriend who protect and respect each other and who do not take risks or pressure each other.
