Youths of today are much influenced by the mass media. Cases of premarital case, unwanted pregnancy, & abortion are just some concrete manifestation and evidences. God has given us the power to fight any kind of temptation, the intellect. Through this, we can discern right and wrong, emphasizing the distinction between them. We are supposed to live up this way but because Satan is wise, he tempts us to do a thing by introducing it to us in very interesting, satisfying & hypnotizing. And as a result, we face grave consequences, physical, mental & spiritual prices to pay often for a lifetime, like heavy responsibilities, humiliation, diseases, bad memories, & unwanted pregnancies. Thus after committing those acts, we realize that having premarital sex or fornication, aswhat the dictionary says, is a sin, mocking God’s plan for a secure marriage, that we should not be easily tempted by what we see, what we hear, & what we feel.
Is Christian sex education the answer to these? Well, according to the columnist, “We believe that a good Christian sex education should be bible-based and Qu’ran-based for the Muslims.” I agree w/ him. The dep-ed should give emphasis on the proper execution of this operation because a wrong interpretation or misunderstanding may result into confusion which may lead into a grave problem, particularly sexual immorality.
