A fox news article I just read is quite disturbing. A report that is advocated by the International Planned Parenthood Federation states that children should be given a comprehensive sex education at the age of 10 and above, and the report goes on to belittle the Catholic and Islamic movements for depriving their children of such an education. This report condones that the government should be resposible to teach young children about the repoductive process as well the "pleasures" involved.
sex education should be "recast" to show sexuality as a "positive force for change and development, as a source of pleasure, an embodiment of human
rights and an expression of self."
In the words of Hillary Clinton "it takes a village to raise children" so this report goes further to tear down the role of Mom and Dad. I encourage all Christians and conservatives to not only read this report, but be on guard, pray, contact your representatives, and board of education. This should not be tolerated, and Planned Parenthood should not be allowed to define what a parent's role is in the home.
First, considering the rule of allowing scripture to interpret scripture, we must pay close attention to what the New Testament includes and excludes from its text. Hebrews 7:18, 19 states, “The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.” If we choose to wear only one blend of fabric per outfit (Lev 19:19) because we believe it to be mandatory, then we open the door to rules of slavery that apply in Leviticus 19:20 which most Christians would agree to be absurd, especially in our culture. The ceremonial and civil laws of the Old Testament were in place to provide the nation of Israel a temporary method of keeping the peace, health, and overall well-being of the nation in an orderly fashion. The interpreter that believes sacrifices are still mandatory is rejecting the sacrifice of Christ, whom appeared once for all sins as the only true and acceptable atonement. (Heb. 9:26)
