Well, that brings us to the point: There is only one way to protect ourselves from the deadly diseases that stalk the human family. It is abstinence before marriage, then marriage and mutual fidelity for life to an uninfected partner. Anything less is foolhardy and potentially suicidal. Don't let anyone tell you differently. There is no such thing as "safe sex, " just as there is no "safe sin." For thousands of years, people have been trying to find ways to disobey the laws of God without suffering the consequences. It can't be done. Scripture tells us that the wages of sin is death, and we'd better believe it!.James C. Dobson
About This Quote
The world has changed drastically since the days of our grandparents. We have all the modern technology that they just could not have conceived of, yet, we are still being bombarded with messages that our lives are not worth living if we do not have sex. This is a shame because more people are dying from disease than ever before, so it is important to remember that AIDS is not something limited to the gay community, but affects EVERYONE. To reduce the spread of disease you must abstain from sexual activity until marriage.
There are many benefits to this method of protection. Not only will you be able to protect yourself from disease, but you will also be able to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
