***Concerning your statement about the old testament. The following are just some NT scriptures. Different story?
Gal.5:
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Eph. 5:
5. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
1 Cor 6:
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."
17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
I have never denied that teens have sexual urges. What I am saying is that they do not HAVE to be "serviced" Cause thats all it is. You think all this unmarried sex going on is love?
It is immorality.
In answer to your sex ed. thought, I never had a problem with the programs at school about sex ed. until they started with this free condoms stuff, Do you believe issuing condoms has taught anyone about morals? Which will you teach your daughter. DON"T GET PREGNANT HERE ARE YOUR CONDOMS? or HONEY, KEEP YOUR CHASTITY AND GOD WILL REWARD YOU FOR IT< AND YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND WILL BLESS YOU FOR IT?
which rings more true?
would you rather have kids that believe that aspirin and coca cola can prevent pregnancy, because they heard it on the playground? Or would you rather have these kids have options available to them?
did any of your dates really believe the coca cola deal Mark? Our children are way smarter than that.
No. I would rather kids not have the condom, birth control option. They need to LEARN to say no, they need to learn right from wrong. Immorality is wrong. If it is not, then NOTHING is wrong, right? The proof is already being seen about the morality of this country and will IMO be the cause of the fall of it. What do you think?
Think about this. I may be backward thinking, but look at it at arms length. it makes no difference that we say now that the best option is not having sex, if at the same time we are passing out condoms. We have already told them we don't want to mess with them.
SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM NOT JUST TALKING OUT OF THE SIDE OF MY FACE MARK,, I have lived it Mark. I have had to stick my "faith where my mouth is" . I would not volunteer birth control pills for my very own beautiful daughter. I opted to believe(and still do) that God's word is real and to be believed. I opted not to cop out and say "go ahead I don't want to take responsibility for you". I opted to teach my daughte that sex is reserved for her and her husband. I opted to ask her to wear a promise ring. I opted to teach her that if she approached God on her knees and hold her chastity in high esteem, He would save a man for her. And I prayed that also. And my beautiful daughter got pregnant in high school, Mark. Is 17 old enough for you? Is that ok in your eyes, Mark? Is that beautiful sex between two people Mark? You think they loved each other Mark? You think they are still together?
now you going to sit back and tell me I told you so? Well thank God, He is the One I will answer to, not the world!!!!!
