Matthew 5

Oaths

33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.[g]

Retaliation

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,[h] let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

CONDOM SENSE

Safe sex is fundamental. Researchers say that  nearly 20 million STI's are being discovered every year (2012).

"Researchers also found that there are 110,197,000 cases of STIs in total in the United States right now, including those occurring in people who newly contracted an infection and those who have been living with an infection. Young people between ages 15 and 24 make up more than 20 percent of the overall cases of both new and established infections."

Shocking is one word to describe this data. One preventative method? Where a condom! This article is called condom sense. Fornication is definitely an act frowned upon by our heavenly father but since he gave his only son for our frivilous sins do your spirit the favor and purchase contraception. I am very familiar with the risk & reward ideology but visualize the burning sensation you may endure if a trial goes south. Be safe.

The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man,say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says:

“‘In the pride of your heart you say, “I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.” But you are a mere mortal and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god. Are you wiser than Daniel [a] ? 3 Is no secret hidden from you? By your wisdom and understanding 4 you have gained wealth for yourself and amassed gold and silver in your treasuries. By your great skill in trading 5 you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud.

6 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says:

“‘Because you think you are wise, as wise as a god, I am going to bring foreigners against you, 7 the most ruthless of nations; they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom and pierce your shining splendor. They will bring you down to the pit, 8 and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas. Will you then say, “I am a god,” 9 in the presence of those who kill you? You will be but a mortal, not a god, in the hands of those who slay you. You will die the death of the uncircumcised 10 at the hands of foreigners.

I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”
