From Gary... What is unsafe???


Sex is important! Safe sex is likewise of great value. To me, for someone to even have to stress the importance of getting married and remaining faithful is incredulous!!!  The opposite sex has been designed that a normal life is one of being joined to a mate for life- not for using and discarding. Without the commitment of marriage, how can children be raised properly? But, the ungodly will always challenge God's ways; even those who pretend to follow God!!! Here is but one example...
  

Mark, Chapter 10 (NASB)

Mar 10:2  Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.
Mar 10:3  And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?"
Mar 10:4  They said, "Moses permitted a man TO WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY."
Mar 10:5  But Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
Mar 10:6  "But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.
Mar 10:7  "FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER,
Mar 10:8  AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Mar 10:9  "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

Mar 10:10  In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again.
Mar 10:11  And He *said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
Mar 10:12  and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."


If God joins to people together, who are we to separate this union???  God designed men and women to compliment one another's nature and become complete. To disregard the value of marriage is to hold what God has made in contempt and therefore fight against God!!!  Guess who is going to lose in that confrontation???
