The word of the day is....SINS!
I’d like to touch on some of the more sensitive issues that face Christianity today. This is the section where I’m sure to piss someone off. You have been warned. Continue if you dare…
Promiscuous sex: Yeah, the Bible says it’s a sin. Sure, even with all the STD’s out there, modern day birth control and condoms make it relatively safe. So what’s the problem? Not enough people use birth control and condoms. Too many people forgo the protection, and decide to have the fun now, and worry about problems later. I think fornication is a sin, not to make us ‘pure’ or anything, but as a consideration for our health and feelings. God doesn’t want us to be unhappy. If he didn’t want us to have sex at all, he wouldn’t have made it pleasurable. He wouldn’t have made it fun. Although waiting until marriage is often the safest route, most people cannot/will not wait that long. A common trend today is to not get married at all, and I don’t think that there is anything wrong with that. All that I ask is this; unless you’re ready to have children, use protection every time. Even if you have been together for a long time. Avoid the ‘one night stands’. Fun at the moment, they often lead to hurt feelings later on. Choose partners that you have feelings for, even if you have no intents on marriage. Take the time to be sure that their needs are met, as well as yours. If the relationship doesn’t work out, (and many don’t) leave on good terms. Be honest with your partner. If you have a disease, or certain feelings that need to be taken into consideration, tell your partner. Express a need for honesty in a relationship, and expect your partner to do the same. Just because you’re not married doesn’t mean you cannot have sex. All it means is that you should be careful, courteous and honest with the partners that you meet throughout life. God wants us all to be healthy and happy. Taking sensible precautions can go a long way to this end.
This might become a regular feature. More to come soon!!
