Sexual promiscuity: freedom or imprisonment?

When the Hebrew children were beginning to form a nation, their God gave them rules, regulations and commandments.  They had lived in slavery in a pagan society for hundreds of years and were going into lands that were also pagan.  Rules and regulations had to be implemented and enforced.  Otherwise, they would fall prey to the evils of societies they would encounter and become captives of their idolatrous living.

Similarly, the United States was formed under the inspiration of God, the same God of the Hebrews that was working in the lives of our founding fathers.  A Constitution and Bill of Rights was written and a government formed.  Like the Hebrew children, many in the United States have now forgotten the God of their founding fathers and ungodly judges, lawyers and politicians are rewriting the Constitution and its interpretation to suit a more “enlightened nation.”

In the formation of the Hebrew nation, sexual promiscuity was identified as one of the sins the Hebrew society was to guard against.  In historic American sexual promiscuity was considered a sin but in modern America, sexual promiscuity is viewed as freedom from legalistic Biblical teachings of the religious right.

When you hear of sin, think of that label in terms of ones health: both mental and emotional. There is a connection between sexual promiscuity and ones health.  The God of both the Hebrew children and America’s founding fathers knew this and warned them.  That warning still applies today.

One of the Ten Commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” is found in Deuteronomy 5:18, KJV.  Other regulations regarding sexual activities can also be found in the book of Deuteronomy.  Among these are regulations regarding the following: prostitution by both men and women; virginity; family incest; bestiality; homosexuality; transvestism; adultery; rape and others.

You may not see anything wrong with sexual promiscuity.  I would dare say a large percentage of people of all faiths do not see anything wrong.  After all, everyone is just doing what feels good. It is only a human desire although a very powerful one!

God knew sexual promiscuity would cause many problems, and this is why it was viewed as sinful; the Hebrew society was forbidden to accept the practices of pagan societies. Individuals caught committing these sins were to be stoned to death. That’s right, they were to be stoned to death.  A severe penalty for something modern society views as “just a natural act.”

Marriage was to be between a man and a woman, and sex was to be enjoyed within marriage.  Why you may ask?  The answer is simple.  It was known more than four thousand years ago that sexual abstinence, outside of marriage, prevented physical diseases and emotional/mental anguish.

When a man and a woman engage in sexual activity they become one flesh, as told in the Bible.  In other words, sexually transmitted diseases can be passed between the participants.  You’ve heard of syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital herpes and AIDS just to name a few.  Some mouth cancers are now being linked to oral sex.  What about other collateral infections/diseases resulting from untreated sexually transmitted diseases?  Just think about the rapid spread of disease from individuals engaging in sexual acts with multiple sex partners? 

Look at the untold emotional damage being done as a result of pregnancies being terminated through abortions. Adulterous affairs result in broken homes and innocent children are affected emotionally as a result.  A wife or husband cheats and possibly the two other deceived partners lives are almost destroyed.  Envy, pornography, child molestation, and other emotional deviations abound when nothing is view as harmful.

The list of harmful bodily results could continue but why go on.  Everyone knows.  Well, maybe not the young teenagers who only see the “fun” of sexual freedom being portrayed on TV and in the movies as the “in thing.”  They are not told of the physical and emotional harm they may experience. 

Parents should be cautioning their children but they don’t.  After all, they are enjoying their own sexual promiscuity.

Yes, physical and mental health issues of sexual promiscuity were known thousands of years ago, but each generation seems to forget or think it will not happen to my family.  Continue on with your heads buried in the sand.  America has become a pagan nation and will remain a pagan nation until the time of the end. 

God, the one who gave us rules to follow for our own good, does not look with favor on those who violate his teachings.  America will soon experience his wrath as we as a nation are punished for our foolishness and disobedience.  Continue on in condoning or participating in sexual promiscuity but do so at your own peril.  You have been warned!
