Biblical Long Term Solution To The Following Diseases

No, but shall we say, foul do do, stinking up my thread?

I'm getting all this flack about this form of deviation and that form. You people are obfuscating by complicating the proposition of the OP, which advocates abstinence of these three, PERIOD.OK, let me simplify the proposition as set forth in the Levitical law of the Bible. Here it is, and mind you, it was for the nation of Israel so as for Jehovah God to SANCTIFY and PRESERVE a nation on planet earth by which he was to establish a future messianic kingdom ON EARTH. In order to preserve this nation, there had to be some rigid rules of conduct FOR THE GOOD OF THE JEWS and for their long term survival. Here was the deal:1. NO FORNICATION
2. NO ADULTERY
3. NO SODOMY, (I.E. HOMOSEXUALITY, AS PER MY DICTIONARY)PUNISHMENT FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE = DEATH!! GOD'S OBJECTIVE: STDs A RARITY AT THE MAX FOR THE PRESERVATION AND WELL BEING OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD, THE NATION OF ISRAEL REGARDING THEIR SEXUAL CONDUCT.AT TIMES WHEN THE NATION DISOBEYED THE LAW, THEY WERE SCATTERED FROM BEING A NATION BUT PROMISE OF RESTORATION FOR MILLENIAL KINGDOM.IS THE ABOVE MEDICALLY SCIENTIFIC?NOTE: There was no "if this or if that" with God. It was, "one strike and your're out!!" (It appears that Admins NWR and WOUNDED were right when they advised that I elaborate more in the OP, but one doesn't always forsee and forknow how discussions will progress.)

If in all your years of Bible study you've never understood that God is preserving a Zionistic Jewish nation for his kingdom, you best get back studying. Simple logic says minimizing STDs factors in bigtime in this regard. From the stats I read, Aids in the US is about 8 times greater among gay men than among heterosexuals. 1. I'm not sure that's been proven in all cases.
2. Even if it's true, abstinence of the three deviances mentioned would greatly minimize it's chance of spreading.

1. No capital punishment in either US or Japan for promiscuousness. Apples and oranges to Levitical law senario.2. I am thinking that Americans are highly more promiscuous than japanese.3. Americans consume far more junk food than Japanese which compounds any health problem.

1. Are you serious? In my 47 years of marriage I've never considered endangering my wife's health and dirtying myself up in her feces when there's the proper and ever so wonderful provision for this activity! YUK!! I'm very confident that the Jewish folks under the Levitical law were above such deviant activity as are most civilized heterosexuals. Why do you think the Jews, having been scattered for nearly two milleniums have held their identiy as Jews so as to return to Israel as identifiable Jews, re-establishing the nation? They've had to be quite family oriented to achieve this highly unlikely phenomenon. It is highly Biblically implied. See my reply to Jar.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What is so impossible or impractical about abstaining from fornication, adultery or sodomy (homosexuality as per definition for centuries as per intended definition in the OP.} I have found it neither impossible or impractical in my 70 years, including four years in the Air Force. Besides, both my wife and I know that through sickness or health, through poverty or prosperity and through sorrow or joy, til death do part, we belong to each other. 2. As for the culture of the Levitical law, if you knew that deviation from the abstinence meant death by stoning, it became very possible and practical to abstain from all three. It is a Biblical term used in reference to male homosexuals. In Deuteronomy 23:17 it says "there shall be no prostitues among the daughters of Israel nor sodomites of the sons of Israel." Now we know that Israelites weren't citizens of Sodom, for Sodom was destroyed long before this cited reference, so it had to have been in reference to MMS which my dictionary defines sodomy as.

This is drifting off topic, but for what it's worth, the stats in two cites I checked said the out of wedlock births in Japan were less than 2 percent as compared to over 30 percent in the US. However I understand that of late years, the high regard for virginity has waned/is waning considerably in Japan.

1. This is getting waaaay off topic. This topic is not about the Japanese or how to stop rape, et al. It's about whether the Biblical Levitical law regarding sex is medically scientific relative to prevention of STDs listed in the long haul.2. If you read the title of this thread it's not about instantly stopping anything. Note the phrase, "long term" in the title.

1. Say what? Complete promiscuity to complete celibacy? How did you read this into my OP or subsequent posts?2. Regular use of prophylatics to achieve prophylaxis (I assume that's what you mean by "regular use of") is off topic here. This thread is about abstinence relative to prophylaxis/prevention of disease.3. I have chosen this arbitrary set of behavior because this is the Biblical one which I wish to address as to whether it is medically scientific for the long term prevention of STDs listed in the OP. How many times do I need to repeat what this thread is about? It is a concern if you keep it in the context in which I used it. Without going back, I believe it I was responding to someone as to how this Levitical mandate was relative to prevention of disease and that God implemented it as a factor in the preservation of a nation to become his kingdom on earth.

OFF TOPIC! Start your own thread if you wish to talk about prevention of rape, (Abe: which offense, btw, also carried the capital punishment.} PLEASE REREAD THE TITLE AND OP!This message has been edited by buzsaw, 01-26-2006 10:51 PM

Iblis, me friend, you did good in your post until you got here. No, PLEASE, COMPLY WITH THE Forum Guidelines and STOP DERAILING MY THREAD! 1. I said nothing in my OP solution about killing anyone did I? The question was whether abstinence of the three deviant sexual practices as a prevention/solution to the problem of STDs listed.Though the capital punishment factor likely would be an incentive for abstinence, it has nothing to do medically or scientifically as to whether the abstinence from the deviations work to prevent disease. It is the abstinence factor that is addressed in the OP. As to the question of justness of the punishment, that is another topic. How so? I've presented God's Biblical Levitical solution for the Israelites and asked the question. You all have two choices for answers, either "yes" or "no." The problem is that all who've said "no" create off topic strawmen for their reasons rather than forthrightly reading the propostition set forth in the OP and answering on the merits of the OP proposition. Your real problem appears to be that you don't like the correct answer, for to own up to the reality of it would be to admit that something in the Bible is medically scientific regarding STDs. But don't you understand, my friend, that this topic is not about something contemporary? It has solely to do with whether God's prophilaxis, if you will, is/was medically scientific for the long haul.Soul mates off topic. Do your own thread on it if that's what you wish to discuss.

.....Or better yet, maybe I should have put my Admin hat on and placed my own 'is it science' topic in the Is It Science Forum.

Thanks for trying, my friend, but given the rape offense was also punishable by death, a very miniscule percentage of deviations would be by rape. This would not likely be a long haul problem. Even without the capital punishment, a very small percentage of deviations or SDIs would be rape related diseases.

CF, please reread the OP. If you want to discuss rape, I repeat: start your own thread. I've shown where what you want to discuss has no significant bearing on the OP of this thread.

---

Gravity is God's glue that holds his universe together.

Copy and paste exactly what in the OP to which your rape stuff applies and I'll respond. Keep in mind that your points must factor significantly in the long term as per the topic title.
