Plucking the Eagle's Wings

Clipping the Wings of the Eagle

appear to believe that condoms are the 21 st century cure for all sexually transmitted diseases. It is outrageous to demonstrate in public school classrooms how to conquer the problem of sexually transmitted diseases by stretching condoms over cucumbers! The Bible teaches that people are slaves to sin until they are set free by faith in Christ as Savior. Then they are free to control their choices and behave correctly. In Christ, there is self-control. Abstinence is an act of self-control, but there is little teaching about abstinence. Without moral absolutes, our current system is doomed to propagate the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. When students are taught how to sin safely by having "safe sex," then why would they abstain? A cucumber sporting a condom never got a teenage girl pregnant, but uncontrolled lust certainly has! Our children need to learn how to live with self-control. Wise choices will stop the problem of pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. These choices may seem old fashioned, but group dating, chaperones, and fulfilling, wholesome activities will save our kids lives. Besides, since condoms fail a percentage of the time, aren't we teaching our kids how to play Russian roulette instead of saving their lives? During an interview on TBN, evangelist Dave Roever said that the government has spent over six million dollars researching ways to stop AIDS. In conclusion, they discovered the best way was to abstain from sex before marriage and stay married to the same person. This is a six million dollar revelation that can be found in any forty-dollar Bible! If this is the finding, then why is it wrong to teach students in public schools that they should abstain from sex before marriage? Why not just teach the Bible and save tax dollars! An Assault on the Value of Human Life: Society has taught that any pregnancy can be terminated at any time by abortion. Without respect for life while in the womb, is it any wonder that kids kill each other? Abortion kills unborn babies and their "fetal tissue" is sold for research. This reminds me of what Hitler did to the Jews during the holocaust. Hitler's henchmen considered the Jews to be useless, and many innocent Jews were dissected and used for medical research. Some Nazi soldiers threw babies into the air and skewed them with their bayonets in front of their mothers. Thousands of Jews were used as human guinea pigs in the name of science. Does fetal tissue for medical research sound familiar? The American holocaust is not being played out behind locked doors in Nazi concentration camps. It is being hidden 25
