If yous holler back your kid mightiness locomote shoplifting, should yous instruct him "safe shoplifting," explaining ways he tin create it without getting caught? The respond is obvious.
But what close this: “Should Christian parents instruct their children rubber sex?”
Many Christian parents holler back they should.
They desire to spare their children the consequences of pregnancy as well as disease, only they missy something critical: God says sexual sin damages our hearts as well as souls inwards a deeper means than sins similar shoplifting (1 Corinthians 6:18).
There is exclusively i formula for rubber sex: heterosexual intimacy next marriage. It’s enjoyable, healthy, meaningful, commitment-building, without regrets, as well as most importantly, it's biblical (God's View of Sex).
Holding biblical values isn't popular, only genuine believers volition instruct their children to brand the choice Moses made when faced amongst heathen pleasures: “He chose to locomote mistreated along amongst the people of God rather than to savor the fleeting pleasures of sin.” Hebrews 11:25
Can a genuine Christian autumn into sexual sin? Yes.
Can a genuine Christian driblet dead along inwards sexual sin? No (1 John 3:9).
There’s exclusively i form of “safe sex” to instruct our children, as well as God has defined it.

Note: I am non debating whether a bring upward should instruct their kid close preventing pregnancy as well as illness if that kid refuses to avoid sexual activity. Each bring upward needs to pray through that province of affairs as well as create equally they experience led. But to automatically include rubber gender information when instruction our children close intimacy seems similar a conflict of beliefs. Parents should never process the sexual bear of their children casually. Instead, they should create their best to warn their children of the spiritual as well as emotional harm that comes from premarital gender too equally the physical problems. And they should restrain as well as monitor the social activities of their children to assistance them avoid sexual temptations.
In addition, parents should bargain biblically amongst their ain sins first. If they were involved inwards premarital gender earlier spousal human relationship - amongst their husband or other persons – they require to repent of those sins (Matthew 7:1-5).
If yous are a unmarried someone reading this devotion, I urge yous to create your best to remain pure through prayer as well as accountability amongst an older Christian mentor. If yous convey already been involved inwards sexual immorality, I urge yous to repent as well as right away attempt counsel as well as accountability from an older godly Christian.
