THUS SAITH THE LORD
"Lo,
children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are
in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Happy is the
man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they
shall speak with the enemies in the gate" (KJV, Ps. 127:3-5).
JOHN CALVIN on BIRTH CONTROL
These comments by John Calvin where edited out of Calvin's
Commentaries by later editors, and are translated here into English from the
original Latin.
+ John Calvin
in his Commentary on Genesis 38:8-10 states:
"Besides,
he [Onan] not only defrauded his brother of the right due him, but also
preferred his semen to putrify the ground, rather than beget a son in his
brother's name.
Verse 10: The
Jews quite immodestly gabble concerning this thing. It will suffice for me
briefly to have touched upon this as much as modesty in speaking permits. The
voluntary spilling of semen outside of intercourse between man and woman is a
monstrous thing. Deliberately to withdraw from coitus in order that semen may
fall to the ground is doubly monstrous. For this is to extinguish the hope of
the race and to kill before he is born--the hoped for offspring.
This impiety is
especially condemned, now by the Spirit through Moses' mouth, that Onan, as it
were, by a violent abortion, no less cruelly than filthily cast upon the ground
the offspring of his brother, torn from the maternal womb. Besides, in this way
he tried, as far as he was able, to wipe out a part of the human race. If any
woman ejects a foetus from her womb by drugs, it is reckoned a crime incapable
of expiation and deservedly Onan incurred upon himself the same kind of
punishment, infecting the earth with his semen, in order that Tamar might not
conceive a future human being as an inhabitant of the earth."
- Excerpted from The Bible
and Birth Control by
Charles Provan (pp. 67-68), these comments by John
Calvin where edited out of Calvin's Commentaries by later editors, and are translated here into English from the
original Latin. In addition to many arguments against the ungodly
practice of birth control, this book also contains about 35 pages of historic
testimony on this point by Martin Luther, A.W. Pink, the Synod of Dordt, the
Westminster Annotations, Matthew Henry, Matthew Poole, Cotton Mather, Trapp,
Usher, Gill, Candlish and many more! A number of these books are available

Resource 1. PROVAN, CHARLES D.
The
Bible and Birth Control
Martin Luther
once proclaimed that
"the
purpose of marriage is not pleasure and ease but the procreation and education
of children and the support of a family.... People who do not like children are
swine, dunces, and blockheads, not worthy to be called men and women, because
they despise the blessing of God, the Creator and Author of marriage" (Christian
History,
Issue 39, p. 24).
Luther also
said that birth control was the equivalent of sodomy (probably because of the
likeness between homosexual wickedness and impotent sex).
John Calvin
declared that birth control was the murder of future persons and the Synod of
Dort issued a Bible commentary which stated that contraception was the same as
abortion.
If you are
shocked, by the strong statements from these Godly men, that really is not too
surprising, because Protestant opposition to birth control has largely been
forgotten in our decadent 21th century.
If you want to
know about Biblical principles which oppose contraception, or wish to know what
the Reformers and their heirs thought about this important subject, we
certainly hope that you will get this book!

- Two more
quotes from this book:
"...we
have found not one orthodox theologian to defend Birth Control before the
1900's NOT ONE! On the other hand, we have found that many highly regarded
Protestant theologians were enthusiastically opposed to it, all the way back to
the very beginning of the Reformation ...those in favor of Birth Control will
find no one in the orthodox Protestant camp for the first four centuries to
ally themselves with. (Provan, p. 63)
Westminster
Annotations (1657); Calvinist
Commentary
on Gen. 38.9 (by John Ley of the Westminster Assembly) - "...in that there
is a seminal vital virtue, which perishes if the seed be spilled; and by doing
this to hinder the begetting of a living child, is the first degree of murder
that can be committed, and the next unto it is the marring of conception, when
it is made, and causing of abortion: now such acts are noted in the scripture
as horrible crimes, because, otherwise many might commit them, and not know the
evil of them: it is conceived, that his brother Er before, was his brother in
evil thus far, that both of them satisfied their sensuality against the order
of nature, and therefore the Lord cut them off both alike with sudden
vengeance; which may be for terror to those Popish Onanites who condemn
marriage, and live in sodomitical impurity, and to those who, in marriage, care
not for the increase of children, (which is the principle use of the conjugal
estate) but for the satisfying of their concupiscence."

Control, Christian Education and the Victory of Christ's Kingdom
In two parts:

"Godless Public Education and Sin" and
2.
"Why Satan Loves Birth Control."
The first
section shows from Scripture how it is a mark of apostasy to send young
children, especially during their formative years, to schools that do not make
Christ the Lord of education. It also encourages family worship and outlines
the elements of this sacred task; giving a helpful list of resources related to
both family worship and Christian education.
The second
essay deals with the practical effects of the pagan practice of birth control
upon the church and the growth of the kingdom of Christ.

WILLIAM
Of Domestical
Duties (1622)
Gouge, a
celebrated Puritan Divine, was a member of the Westminster Assembly and Darling
(Cyclpaedia Bibliographica) calls him "eminently learned and a preacher of
great influence."
Many consider
this one of the best books ever written on the family.
It includes
eight treatises:
-
1. An Exposition of that part of Scripture out of which Domestical Duties are
raised.
-
2. Duties between Man and Wife.
-
3. Particular Duties of Wives.
-
4. Particular Duties of Husbands.
-
5. Duties of Children.
-
6. Duties of Parents.
-
7. Duties of Servants.
-
8. Duties of Masters.
If you are interested
in family matters it is not likely that you will find a better or more
thoroughly Scriptural book on this topic! Over 700 pages.

***
+ PALMER, B.M.
The Family in
its Offices of Instruction and Worship (1876)
The author
notes that "[f]rom the earliest period in the history of the Church, the
duty of family instruction has been emphasized as the most important of all
agencies in perpetuating the knowledge of Divine truth" (emphasis added).
Furthermore, he writes, "each pious household is a separate fibre of those
roots by which the Church of the living God takes hold upon the earth, and
preserves its existence in a sinful world." It is especially important
that fathers study material like this, for if they will not lead their families
in instruction and daily family worship, they have, for all intents and
purposes, denied the faith. For when 1 Tim. 5:8 states, "But if any
provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath
denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel," it should be taken to
heart. Even if this verse refers specifically to the material aspects of life,
how much more important are the spiritual duties? This book should be a great
encouragement to those entrusted with these most important spiritual duties and
privileges!

Based on
"Train up," or catechise, "a child in the way he should
go," or in his way: "and When he is old, he will not depart from
it" (Prov. 22:6). Shows that there are several texts of Scripture from
which the learned conclude that this mode of Catechising was used in the
apostles' days, and by the apostles themselves and their immediate successors;
and this in imitation of the Jews who had "a form of knowledge and of the
truth in the law," (Rom. 2:20), out of which they instructed the ignorant,
and taught babes.

+++ The CULTURE of DEATH VERSUS the
LORD of LIFE +++
"If you
can't control consumption, then you have to control the consumer... It's better
just to convince the victims to kill themselves, so that's what they did.1 They
convinced them that the laws of God about human sexuality were all wrong.2
The government
and the media and the academics promoted the demise of the family with easy
divorce, government welfare,3 and intrusion into the family.4 They created the
new counterfeit 'rights' to destroy the real rights.5 They encouraged women to
work outside the home and abandon their children,6 and after all, a new car is
more important
than another
child, right?7 A working mother can't be tied down to five children.8
In effect, they
convinced almost everyone, contrary to the law of God, to perform VOLUNTARY GENOCIDE
on themselves by limiting the size of their families.9
Then they
promoted homosexuality. Any way you cut it, no matter how long 'Adam and Steve'
are 'married,' no matter how many times they do whatever it is they do to each
other, THEY WILL NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN. So you remove a big slice out of the
reproductive population by promoting sodomy.10 Then there was AIDS...11 And
look, if you can't get rid of the suckers any other way and you need to cull
the herd, then why not convince them to kill their own children? So you
legalize abortion and promote it as an alternative method of 'birth control.12
Besides, that
cheapens human life and softens up the suckers for the next step: killing off
the old folks.13 First you bake the cake of human concern for 'dignity in
death,' and then you pour on the icing of self interest: it cost lots to keep
the old 'useless eaters' alive. Don't be selfish; make way for the next
generation, not a mild inducement in a society that worships youth.
A by-product of
the euthanasia industry is suicide at all ages. You know, we all have to go
sometime, so why not be like God and decide for ourselves when we'll go? And
they introduced the death cult in rock music.14 That convinced the young ones
to kill them selves before they got to breeding age and cluttered up the scene
with still more children. All this was part and parcel of the same cult of
death worship. You know what Scripture says:
'all
those who hate me love death."15
And in
judgement the God of life abandoned them to the de sires of their heart. They
wanted death, and that's what they got. Lots of it... So gradually, gradually,
the government conquered group after group. They convinced the people that they
couldn't be responsible for themselves, that only the government had the wisdom
necessary to make the hard decisions forced upon us by the complicated modern
world. And this is the essence of slavery: the free man gives up responsibility
for himself.16
I'm always
amused by people who want to reject the so-called 'harsh laws of God.' But
Jesus said, 'Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for my yoke is easy, and
my burden is light.'
He's the God of
life, and His law is the law of life.17
The law of men
is the law of death."18

This novel is set in 2020 A.D. when America is divided into two societies: the
Insiders and the Freemen. One is founded on the worship of death - the other on
a new obedience to God (backcover). It takes a look at one scenario of where
the ideas being promoted today, both Godly and ungodly, could lead us in a

+++++ CD comment of the Year! +++++
"This
collection of 62 CDs is a truly astounding accomplishment. There is nothing
like this available to the ordinary Christian on the whole face of the earth.
Now, for the
first time ever, ordinary Christians can have direct and near effortless access
to the very cream of Puritan and Reformed, as well as Covenanter, literature.
These books are
often in fascinating first editions and many are electronically linked and indexed
for the first time. The ordinary Christian may here dig into a simply
staggering wealth of literature, from devotional and sermonic material to
technical and scholarly works. Even in the days of the Long Reformation itself
ordinary Christians didn't get to see this kind of library -- most couldn't
read for a start, and even those who could, would never have been able to
afford to buy even a hundredth part of the material on these CDs. Truly we are
without excuse!
And the
significance of this collection goes even beyond that. No longer do we have to
wait for modern Reformed publishing houses to predict that a particular
Reformation or Puritan book will be sufficiently popular to make it economical
to reprint, or to deem it "safe" enough to be let loose on the modern
evangelical church. Rather, we are now able to see for ourselves the whole
range of the Puritan and Reformed publishing enterprise, including views that
are usually suppressed by most modern devotees of "Puritan" piety!
Buy these CDs
while you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second Reformations
were really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's grace, will grow
from being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary one.
What they used
to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be said of these CDs: they
are 'hissing hot'!"

16th and 17th century Calvinistic literature.)
