Now when it comes to birth control, the statistics show that 99% of women ages 15 through 44
who have ever had intercourse have used at least one contraceptive method.
So according to the statistics by the Guttmacher Institute, 99% of women have used birth control.
Okay.
So you say, "Wow, this sermon is going to offend somebody."
But you know what?
That's not the point though.
The question is, is it right?
Is it biblical?
Now, out of the birth control that women use, the most popular method of birth control,
the number one method is the birth control pill.
And specifically, it is the combination pill of estrogen and progestin.
So the number one most commonly used method of birth control today, and these are statistics
from 2010 and 2013 from the Guttmacher Institute, is the pill, and in fact, four out of five
women have used the pill as contraceptive.
And I'm going to demonstrate for you and explain to you right now, first of all, before I get
into the rest of the sermon, that birth control pills cause silent abortions.
If you are taking birth control pills, you are inadvertently, literally killing your children.
And remember, this is the most commonly used birth control method.
So before we get into the subject from the Bible of whether birth control is right or
wrong, let me just start out by saying that the most commonly used, the most popular method
of birth control, the one that four out of five women have used, the one that is 28%
of women who use birth control or are using it right now, is a pill that will literally
cause your unborn children to die.
Now let me explain to you why that is and then we'll move on.
But before I do, let me start out by proving to you from the Bible that life begins at
conception.
Okay, who here agrees that life begins at conception?
Say amen.
Yeah.
It begins at conception.
Well, let's show it from the Bible.
Look down at your Bible at Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14, "Therefore the Lord himself shall
give you a sign.
Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel."
Now flip over if you would to Matthew chapter 1 because in Matthew chapter 1 this exact
scripture is quoted in the New Testament.
In the Old Testament it said, "A virgin shall conceive and bear a son."
Well in Matthew chapter 1 verse 23 the Bible reads, "Behold a virgin shall be with child
and shall bring forth a son and they shall call his name Immanuel," which being interpreted
is "God with us."
So isn't it interesting that in the Old Testament it says conceive and in the New Testament
it says she'll be with child.
You know what that tells me?
That conception produces a child.
Not a blastocyst or an embryo or a fetus, but God considers that a child.
Flip over to Hebrews chapter 11.
And while you're turning to Hebrews chapter 11, we're not going to turn to all of these
for sake of time, but there are so many scriptures that we could use to prove that life begins
at conception.
For example, we could go to the fact that John the Baptist leaped in his mother's womb
when John the Baptist was brought in close proximity with Mary who was pregnant with
Jesus and the two children were in their mother's wombs.
And when John the Baptist got near Jesus, he leaped in his mother's womb.
That shows there was a spiritual connection there.
The Bible says that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb.
The Bible talks about the fact in Psalm 139 that God knows us in the womb and forms and
fashions us.
And in fact, anyone who says that a baby in its mother's womb is not alive is just a complete
fool.
It's really only just the most atheistic, evil fool that would say such a thing, other
than politicians who say it routinely because of the fact that they want to be elected in
liberal areas.
So they lie and say, "I believe that life begins at birth.
I watched a debate one time between two politicians.
One was a Republican and one was a Democrat, and they were running on the East Coast in
a very liberal area, and the debate moderator asked them, "When do you believe that life
begins?"
One of them said, "Birth."
And then they said to the other one, "When do you believe life begins?
Birth."
Now that is so scientifically stupid, and it's amazing to me today how the atheists
will claim to be so into science, and we believe in the science.
But it's funny when you confront them with science that flies in the face of their wicked
ideology, then all of a sudden they don't believe in science anymore.
Science will tell you it's alive.
I mean, science will tell you that a tree is alive.
Science will tell you that an earthworm is alive.
But a human being living in its mother's womb, nine months gestation, one day away from being
born, they'll say it's not alive because they're liars and they worship Satan, that's why.
And they love death.
The Bible says all day that hate God, love death.
And that's what these people are.
They love death.
They're pro-death.
It's not pro-choice, it's pro-death.
Pro-life versus pro-death.
The Bible says choose life in the book of Deuteronomy.
But when we, excuse me, when we talk about life beginning at conception, the devil loves
to change the meaning of words.
Because if he can't get you to believe in the stupidity of some politician that tells
you, "Oh, it's not alive until it's born," well, what he'll do then is try to change
the definition of words.
And so he'll get Christians to agree, "Oh, yeah, life begins at conception."
So then he'll change the definition of conception.
Now conception has historically always meant fertilization.
When the seed from the man and the egg from the woman come together and that egg is fertilized,
that has been known as conception.
But now they're starting to change the definition.
And even in some dictionaries, they'll put a definition that says, "Well, it's fertilization
or implantation."
I've even heard a Baptist preacher buy into this and say, "Well, life doesn't begin until
it's implanted."
Let's see what the Bible defines as conception.
Let's make the Bible our final authority.
The Bible says in Hebrews 11, verse 11, "Through faith also, Sarah herself received strength
to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age because she judged him
faithful who had promised."
So let me ask you this, could conceive seed refer to implantation?
Let me explain to you the terms here.
This is how the birds and the bees work, children.
You know, I'm not going to go into any detail.
Don't worry.
Don't plug your kid's ears or anything.
But basically, the seed from the man travels into the woman's body and finds the egg and
the egg is fertilized up toward the top of the fallopian tubes.
That fertilized egg, that developing child that's multiplying and growing and so forth,
begins to travel down that tube until it gets to the uterus.
And when it arrives at the uterus, it implants itself into the wall of the uterus and then
eventually that's where the placenta is going to be attached and then there's going to be
a cord and the baby and so on and so forth.
But that developing life comes down that tube and implants in the wall of the uterus.
Now when the Bible says that she's received strength to conceive seed, notice that conception
is tied in with the seed, isn't it?
What's conception?
What's conceived?
She conceived seed, okay?
Now does the seed come from the man or the woman, biblically?
The man, of course.
The man provides the seed.
The woman has the egg.
And so what happens is that developing child travels down that tube and that trip takes
seven to fourteen days, okay?
So conception or fertilization takes place up here, then it travels down the tube and
seven to fourteen days later it implants in the wall of the uterus, okay?
Now this new definition of saying, "Well, conception is implantation."
Is the seed involved with implantation?
No, because the seed is long gone.
The seed from the man fertilizes that egg and then all the seed is gone, okay?
And then a week goes by and then it implants.
How could you call implantation conceiving seed?
You can't.
There's no seed there anymore.
The seed has been gone for over a week.
So we see that the world's definition that's a new definition that they're twisting and
changing things to mean and that Planned Parenthood has pushed this new definition of conception
is not in tune with the Bible.
It's just a lie of the devil to try to get you to say, "Oh yeah, life begins at conception.
That's seven to 14 days after fertilization."
You say, "Well, what's seven to 14 days?"
Oh, that seven to 14 days is important.
It's critical.
You ever heard of the day after pill?
And women today take what's called a day after pill or emergency contraception so that in
case they got pregnant, they can take a pill that will then kill the developing child in
the womb.
You say, "Wow, it's just such a small, simple organism at that point."
But it's still a child.
It's still growing.
It's still alive.
You can't pick a time and say, "Well, I think it's okay up to three months," or, "I think
it's okay to kill it up to six months."
No, it's either the stupidity of the politicians who say birth or it's conception like the
Bible says.
Which one is it?
You can't just have some gray, "Well, I think it's three months."
"I think it's four months."
"I think it's when the heart starts beating."
On what authority do you think that?
The Bible says that we don't know how the bones grow in the womb of her that is with
child.
We should not think that we can decide when it's alive when God says conception equals
a child when we compare Isaiah 714 to Matthew 123.
So here's how these birth control pills work.
The combination pill works according to two mechanisms.
There's a primary mechanism and then there's a backup mechanism, okay?
The primary mechanism is to stop a woman from ovulating.
She does not release an egg, therefore no pregnancy can occur.
Now if a woman just doesn't release an egg and no pregnancy occurs, is any human life
being snuffed out?
Is anyone being killed?
No.
It's just no egg is produced and so there's not a pregnancy.
But there's the backup mechanism because if that was the only way birth control pills
worked, where they just made you not release an egg, they would not be 99.9% effective.
And let me tell you something, birth control pills are 99.9% effective.
When you see women getting pregnant while they're using birth control pills, it's usually
because they didn't take it consistently or something or they're lying and saying that
they're taking it when they're really not.
But according to the studies and research, birth control pills are 99.9% effective.
Why are they so effective?
Because of the fact that they have a backup mechanism to make sure that if the primary
mechanism doesn't work, the backup is there.
Here's the backup mechanism.
They actually harden the lining of the uterus itself, making it impossible for the developing
blastocyst to implant in the wall of the uterus.
So that developing child that's 7 to 14 days old gets to the uterus and it cannot implant.
And so it dies and is flushed out and the woman doesn't even know it.
And that there is a life there that was alive for 7 to 14 days and is snuffed out.
You say well how often is this happening?
Well it depends on what type of pill is being taken.
The most common pill, the popular pill, is the combination pill, which is estrogen and
progestin combination.
Breakthrough ovulation, which is when an egg is released even though you're taking the
birth control pill, occurs five to sixty percent of the time.
Let me get out my figures to make sure that I've got all this right here.
Five to sixty percent of the time breakthrough ovulation can occur.
Now it's different with different types of pills, but for the basic combination pill,
five to sixty percent of the time.
So just to put it in perspective, even if we were to use the most conservative number
there that five percent of the time an egg is being released, a woman can get pregnant,
and basically that child's going to die, it would be happening every two years.
And the average woman is on these birth control pills for three decades.
That's what the statistics show, that they use them for decades, okay.
But if you go with the sixty percent figure, this could be happening every other month,
if you think about it.
You could be having a silent abortion literally every other month.
Maybe it's happening once every three months, maybe it's happening every six months, maybe
it's happening once a year, or once every two years.
But the bottom line is, it's happening, and it's wicked to do that to your body, to turn
it into this killing machine, where it'll still produce the egg that's going to be fertilized,
but then it's going to die.
That's why these birth control pills are so effective, because they do that to the uterus.
Not only that, but women who take these birth control pills, then when they decide, "Okay,
I want to get pregnant now," their uterus lining is still not the same.
And then they'll have miscarriages, because of the fact that the lining is still not right.
That's why even a doctor will tell you that if you've been on these pills, you need to
take a few months and wait before you try to get pregnant again, because your uterus
has to go back to normal.
And you have to metabolize all this junk, these hormones that you've been putting into
your body.
There's another pill called the mini-pill, or the progesterone-only pill, the POP as
it's called.
These type of pills are hardly suppressing ovulation at all, and they are mainly relying
on the backup mechanism, and they are mainly just destroying the environment, creating
a hostile.
If you actually look at the package insert, as I've done, I've taken the birth control
pills and literally read the package insert, all that fine print, it says it creates a
hostile environment in the uterus for the developing blastocyst as they would call it.
So these mini pills, or progestin only pills, are actually doing this even more often, constantly.
Could be every other month that this is happening when you're on these type of pills.
Same thing with the DeproProvera patch, the DeproProvera shots, any hormonal birth control
method is an abortifacient that is causing you to have a silent abortion some percentage
of the time and we as Christians should just reject it outright as being manslaughter or
murder to take these type of pills knowing what they're doing to your body and knowing
what they're doing to your children.
We need to just reject it outright and say it's immoral, it's sin, it's wrong, we shouldn't
do it.
That should be case closed for the most popular birth control method in America today.
Not only that, but a lot of women will use what's called an IUD, an interuterine device.
This is where they put an actual object up into their bodies in order to, again, stop
the child from being able to implant.
It's not going to stop you from ovulating necessarily, but it'll stop the child from
implanting.
Now we're starting to understand why it's called birth control, not conception control.
It's not necessarily stopping you from conceiving, it's stopping you from giving birth.
It doesn't mean that a life's not going to be created, it's just going to die.
It's not going to be born.
We as Christians need to wake up and realize that everything that the devil and the world
dishes out down at Walgreens is not something that we need to be purchasing and participating
in, and we need to prove all things, and we need to figure out what we're putting into
our body before we just put it into our bodies.
And we need to be careful with this stuff.
You say, "Well, you're condemning me because I've used it."
Look, 99% of women have used it, and if you didn't know any better, well, you can't change
the past.
Shame on you for not knowing, but hey, everybody makes mistakes.
We've all made mistakes.
But you need to, now that you know the truth, repent.
Now that you know that it's wrong, you need to decide, "Well, I'm never going to use those.
I'm never taking birth control pills now that I know what they're doing."
And not only that, I'm doing you a great favor by warning you about these things because honestly,
birth control pills are very harmful to your health in the first place because of the fact
that they also increase your chances of getting blood clots and having a stroke and having
a heart attack.
You can go to the cancer.gov or whatever, even their main website, and they'll talk
about the fact that estrogen that's in these birth control pills is a known carcinogen
or something that causes cancer.
And I mean, who has heard research and things about estrogen being related with cancer,
you know, estrogen being, yeah, it's pretty common.
And so, taking this synthetic estrogen in these birth control pills is increasing your
cancer risk, risk of blood clots, and a lot of other bad things.
It's bad for your health, and it increases your risk for breast cancer.
It increases your risk for a lot of other illnesses, and so these things are bad for
your body.
You say, "Well, why are they so popular?
Why are so many women taking them?"
Well, obviously, somebody's making money selling them, number one, and advertising them and
telling you how great they are, and number two, because women are just hell-bent on not
having children, apparently.
And a lot of people, when you start criticizing the birth control bills, "Well, but what are
we going to use?
I mean, provide me with an alternative."
And I'll get to that in a little bit, but as you say, "Well, which method of birth control
is acceptable?
What should we be using?"
Well, the short answer is nothing, okay?
But I'll explain that more as we go through this.
