Sex (birth control, abortion, bible, Israel)

[SouperStar34]

If the Bible's message on sex before marriage were obeyed, there would be far fewer sexually transmitted diseases, far fewer abortions, far fewer unwed mothers and unwanted pregnancies, and far fewer children growing up without both parents in their lives. Abstinence is God’s only policy when it comes to sex before marriage. Abstinence saves lives, protects babies, gives sexual relations the proper value, and, most importantly, honors God.

Idealistic any?

In a vaccum, of course abstinence is the most ideal way to prevent many of the issues you talked about. However, life isn't played out in a vaccum and there's a funny thing about abstinence: essentially, that it works until it doesn't.

People who are going to have sex also need to learn how to have it safely, because that's what they/we're going to do. And when education which speaks of abstinence-only doesn't also teach other ways, then they are now causing many of the problems you talked about.

What if everybody was educated about sex and birth control?
There would be far fewer sexually transmitted diseases, far fewer abortions, far fewer unwed mothers and unwanted pregnancies, and far fewer children growing up without both parents in their lives.

What if people weren't so hung up about sex and just enjoyed it?
( I do mean between consenting persons who are old enough to understand what it is!)

What if nobody cared what other people were doing with their own bodies?

Sex only honors god to people who believe in god. To the rest of us, there are other reasons to fornicate.

I bet you're the life of every party.

In fact, this method seems to be far more productive for society since there would also be far fewer rapes and it would serve as a better method for population control. Once an individual is married, because this automatically makes them the most responsible individual in the world, they can have their genitalia back.

If our governments cared enough about us (and God) they would mandate such a thing. After all, castrating every member of society would be the least we could do to make God happy about not having sex before marriage. On top of that, it would make society a better place as we wouldn't have the same hormone production to make us so pent up. The world would be a much more docile place.

Think about all of the wonderful possibilities of world peace if the world were run by eunuchs!

Finally, we could show documentaries of "The Way It Used To Be" to people so they could have a better understanding of how grotesque and awful the act of sex is. Since sex is not meant to be pleasurable in any way whatsoever, we must educate the population that orgasms are one of the ways in which Satan tries to get into our lives. In all actuality, orgasms are like being stabbed in the face repeatedly but Satan tricks us into thinking it actually feels good. If one focuses really hard while in the midst of orgasm, you can feel God's pain and distress at what you are doing. Not only that, but it kills kittens and puppies every time you have one.

Since we are clearly a more morally sane society, we cannot have the burden of large numbers of kitten and puppy deaths hanging over our head. Thus, we should do our best to refrain from orgasm at any and all cost. After reading this, I do hope that all of you realize our only option is to remove our genitals for the betterment of society and because of God's will.

Sex is Satan's...ummmm.. tool.

Don't just stop at the foreskin like the Lord asked of Abraham. The Israelites didn't have Jesus, so Christians should go a little further than the Israelites. Cut it right off for Jesus!

You mean like the wonderful example that the OT guys provide for us? After all it is given to us for "examples and ensamples"...(Bible's words..not mine).

sex if not between husband and wife then it is called adultery but the word adultery is not nice then the devil made them to change the name to make love.

*****************************
O Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you as he caused your (first) parents to go forth from the Garden and tore off from them their robe (of innocence) that he might manifest their shame to them. Lo! he seeth you, he and his tribe, from whence ye see him not. Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not.

And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us. Say: Allah, verily, enjoineth not lewdness. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?

Say: My Lord enjoineth justice. And set your faces upright (toward Him) at every place of worship and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him (only). As He brought you into being, so return ye (unto Him).

A party hath He led aright, while error hath just hold over (another) party, for lo! they choose the devils for protecting supporters instead of Allah and deem that they are rightly guided.

Don't do the deed then. It's simple, really.
