What are you expecting with a title like that one?!
I don’t often cross-post among my blogs. And this isn’t one of those times.
But if you want to know what I wrote regarding Certain Jews, click the link.
Days of Noah
Christian Teen Girls?
| More than one in four U.S. teen girls is infected with at least one sexually transmitted disease, and the rate is highest among blacks, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday.
An estimated 3.2 million U.S. girls ages 14 and 19 — about 26 percent of that age group — have a sexually transmitted infection such as the human papillomavirus or HPV, chlamydia, genital herpes or trichomoniasis, the CDC said. Forty-eight percent of black teen-age girls were infected, compared to 20 percent of whites and 20 percent of Mexican American girls. The report did not give data on the broader U.S. Hispanic population. […] About half reported ever having had sex . . . . |
And here’s more news (although almost four years old by now!):
| About one-third of American teenagers claim they’re “born again” believers, according to data gathered over the past few years by Barna Research Group, the gold standard in data about the U.S. Protestant church, and 88% of teens say they are Christians. About 60% believe that “the Bible is totally accurate in all of its teachings.” And 56% feel that their religious faith is very important in their life. |
Here’s the question about the teen girls in the first article: What percentage of these profess to be Christians?
(And, as a Mennonite, a sub-question: How many of them are Mennonites?)
As one who doesn’t live that way, maybe I should stop identifying myself as a Christian, eh? 🙄 (After all, so many people are giving Christian a bad reputation, a bad connotation, a bad name, etc.)
Oh, for the Christianity 101 comment, read this: God says the human body is for Him to inhabit and not to be used immorally.
Sister-Wives
Here’s a good story for those who shun their denominational names in favor of “only” Christian. 😉
| Polygamists hit the Web in search of ‘sister-wives’
Albert Morrison is a religious man. He prays, he reads the Bible and says he has a deep connection with Jesus. It is this devotion that helps explain why Albert and his wife, Sarah, are searching for a second wife. “David, Abraham, Jacob, Solomon — they all had multiple wives,” he said, referring to the four of the Bible’s most revered prophets. “The Bible never banned polygamy, it glorified it.” The Morrisons are part of a group of Evangelical Christian polygamists who believe that polygamy, the practice of taking more than one wife, is spiritually and even economically more favorable than monogamy. |
I included the Christianity 101 category for this post because I wonder if any readers have any Bible passages that refute the above abomination.
(And what passage does that guy use to show the Bible “glorifying” polygamy?!)
Test Your Movies
The Motion Picture Production Code
A Code to Govern the Making of Talking, Synchronized and Silent Motion Pictures. Formulated and formally adopted by The Association of Motion Picture Producers, Inc. and The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc.
There’s some amazing stuff there.
Those of you that watch “family friendly” or Christian movies, would you have them to watch if the above code were still in force?
(No, it isn’t in force — it’s from 1930.)
Though I don’t watch movies, I’m guessing that even many Christian movies of today would fail the Code test.
So tell me — what has happened to Christianity?
As in the days of Noah, things will get worse — much worse.
