Some days ago I published an article where I shared my opinion towards summer courses organized by some organizations that taught over 1000 young people\u00a0from our country, so that they, on their behalf would go to tell their classmates about the danger of HIV\/AIDS infection. When I was reading the article on the portal www.allmoldova.com<\/a> I was not sure what the organizers meant when saying \u201cpremature sexual relations\u201d. Today I have also read about this event on the portal . That is what one of the students understood about abstinence, after participating at this seminar, or in other words, that is the definition of abstinence sent to this student at this training. I cite from the article:<\/p>\n

A Boy, 13 years old: \u201cThe best way not to\u00a0catch AIDS infection is abstinence.\u00a0They should abstain until\u00a0they know very well\u00a0their partner, until\u00a0they get to a specific age\u00a0when they think they are ready.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How you see, the boy doesn\u2019t tell anything about marriage. For him, premature sexual relations means not to have relations with someone whom you don\u2019t know or when one thinks that is not yet ready to have sexual relations. What a great deceit! Every sexual relations outside marriage is an immoral one and it will necessarily be punished by God, who says:<\/p>\n

\n

Marriage\u00a0is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. (Hebrews 13:4)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I want only to mention what is the difference between fornication and adultery.\u00a0Fornication is every sexual relation where the partners are not in a covenant of marriage.\u00a0Adultery is every sexual relation where at least one of the partners is engaged in a covenant of marriage. All those who are unmarried and allow themselves to have sexual relations before marriage commit\u00a0fornication and will bear the consequences of their sin. One of the consequences is HIV\/AIDS. And let nobody think that he is so smart and artful to flee from the punishment of God. He is Almighty and He says:<\/p>\n

\n

For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman,\u00a0and be embraced in the arms of a seductress?\u00a0 For the ways of man\u00a0are before the eyes of the LORD,\u00a0and He ponders all his paths.\u00a0His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, <\/em>and he is caught in the cords of his sin.\u00a0He shall die for lack of instruction,\u00a0and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. (Proverbs 5:20\u201323)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Don\u2019t be deceived by those who come to give you a wrong definition\u00a0of abstinence and an immoral \u201csexual education\u201d!<\/p>\n
