There is not a sitcom or anything else on prime time TV these days that isn’t one long line of sex jokes. None.
This is what kids are seeing and then the schoolz are telling them to go ahead and do it and handing out condoms.
Christianity and virginity are unrelated. I was a virgin in college when I was an atheist.
A Christian is Saved by faith in Jesus Christ, not saved by their virginity. It’s the right thing to do regardless of religion.
What’s the garnish? Horseradish? Deep frying that stuff must be tricky because it’s so moisture laden.
I’m continuing my search, but here’s an appetizer:
http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2011/02/22/the-christian-divorce-rate-myth/:
How soooooo wonderful, that we now have a group of sooooooo experts, that know what “Christian” is.
Now, now, the bible says that should be consensual too....
In Austin, right?
Parents allow teenagers to "date," which is absolutely unnecessary, and is abnormal.
Professing Christian parents are wholly ignorant of Biblical courtship, which if taught by parents to children from a young age would embolden young people to resist modern American (post-Christian) culture.
“80 percent of unmarried evangelical young adults (18 to 29) said that they have had sex”
What the article doesn’t seem to go into is wether or not these kids were raised in Christian households and brought up in church or if they came to Christ AFTER making some mistakes in life.
It never fails to amuse me how some Christians forget that not everyone was raised in a Christian home.
I didn’t come to Jesus until 6 years ago (I’m 42) after a divorce and living a lifestyle that might make Jerry Springer blush. I came to Him with debt up to my eyeballs. Still haven’t gotten out from under enough of it to tithe properly but....He understands that I do what I can.
I don’t condemn these kids until I know more about their background. Even then? Love on ‘em, don’t condemn.
Yes.
And you will see many more pregnant students at lower socioeconomic high schools than high income schools.
And it is not because they have less sex at the rich schools.
It’s a leftwing magazine. Leftists lie. They lie all the time.
Welcome to the church... better late than never. (I have also spent less than half my own life in Christendom.)
Some young men see little in marriage worth “waiting for”. It’s all tied together.
“It never fails to amuse me how some Christians forget that not everyone was raised in a Christian home.”
They don’t get Christianity at all.
Anyway, good testimony, Grunthor.
I’m sure God is honored to be put into such a list....
Ditto. I waited 14 years. I have never regretted it.
Even commercials promote sex these days. And you are right - public schools are the worst offenders - starting in elementary school, especially promoting homosexuality.
They have been conditioned by the Prussian system (Dewey) of education. It is group think. They design curricula to destroy individualism and “thinking outside the box”-—all the Christian concepts that made this nation great-—individual dignity and worth of people is undermined.
The philosophy taught—Marxism—”feel good, do it”. Emotionalism over intellectualism. No intellectual control over impulses. (They deliberately teach children lies, so they can’t think or reason—up is down—homosexuality is “good” and “moral” although you stick body parts in obscene, filthy places that destroy life span and cause disease-—but, children, have Pride in that!) This confuses Right and Wrong—the ethics and morality of children. They can’t form a moral outlook with this kind of stuff being fed to them. The programming of these ideas inserted into their television shows undermines all morality. (She is so nice and she is a lesbian....oh, that Christian is so MEAN and ugly).
Their morality is being challenged 24/7 by all public schools/media/to destroy the idea of sexual morality. Sex Ed does destroyed sexual morality—it is designed by cultural Marxists for children in elementary school to destroy the idea of mystery and beauty and privacy and make the act meaningless and a group activity. Children are immature and they think the sex act is stupid and it demeans their bodies and esp. the respect for their parents and the opposite sex. Girls are viciously teased by boys after these “education” sessions—body parts made fun of as are the boys by the girls. With Sex Ed. in public schools, all sorts of promiscuous behaviors, abortions, etc., increased from less that 4 % of 18 year olds engaging in sex—to over 50%—since the 1970’s. The promotion of immorality by “beautiful” people on TV is intended to make those who don’t participate in the behavior as ugly, unpopular.
It is psychology of Marx in the school system and media since 1968. It was more underground prior to that....parents would have beat up teachers teaching their children Sex Ed in elementary schools and put them in jail for sexualizing their children prior to the late 70’s—those hippy parents—kids having sex is cool.
“young, unmarried Christians are having premarital sex almost as much as their non-Christian peers.”
Nope.
Non-Christians who want to pretend they are Christians are shacking up and fornicating.
Many parents have been beaten down down by the (un)culture to let the kids run wild.
A new barbarian age is coming.
