Question
Dhe bible go against a married woman saving herself from getting pregnant? Like for example, is it against the bible or should i say a sin to use birth control while being married?

Answer
Hi Gabriela

the Bible is not specific in this area however The Lord defined as sin when a man poured his seed on the ground rather than impregnate a woman so I cannot see a woman preventing pregnancy other than by abstension as any different in God's eyes. Having said that; it is not the unforgivable sin. Birth control takes many forms. Paul speaks about couples refraining from sex.
here is a discussion, there are many available on the web
