A year and a half ago we went my wifes old church for the last time. She grew up in it, but a new pastor came to town just a few months earlier. He had just given a marriage seminar and we caught the last one, plus the study guide for the whole thing.
He was not only wrong, he was dangerously so. He is currently a loose canon ruining a bunch of sheep (most of which truly act like it since we were one of 2 or 3 couples to leave).
He teaches that not only is birth control a big no no of ANY kind (a feeling that some here share) but he also teaches that we are to have the largest families possible! "Oh, remember the days when 9-15 kids was considered normal!" he said.
But it goes even further. He taught that the Levitical "cleansing" period must still be upheld. This is the teaching that there is not only supposed to be no sex during a womans period but for a whole week after! Also, no sex on Sunday because THAT day is the Lords day.... and no sex on Saturday night because it is the day BEFORE the Lords day.
He taught that downs syndrome babies were a result of sin from the mother or father in not obeying the previous commandments.
He taught that MEN must abstain from sex as well because it helps their creativity.....
Unfortunately there were enough people who have fallen for it hook line and sinker. Not all at once mind you, but over the following 12 months..... There is one couple who were JUST married and wanted to wait at least a few years for their first kid, but are already half way through their 2nd -only 14 months later. It's gotten to the point where HE doesn't want to have sex anymore simply because he doesn't want any MORE kids but she now thinks that is the only reason that God created the act.....
And to think this man is doing premarital counseling for couples!
