When conforming to God’s Law, we almost always find ourselves having to choose between our objective evaluation of the situation and our emotional reaction to the situation. My emotional reaction is caused by peer pressure. But, if everyone kept the law, there would be no peer pressure, and I would have an easier time keeping the law.

After the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, forgiveness of sin and atonement with God is no longer dependent on a Jewish animal sacrifice as it was in our earlier readings in the Old Testament. The entire Old Testament system of animal sacrifices for sin has been replaced by the human sacrifice of Jesus Christ; a sacrifice not to be offered repeatedly because of a period of uncleanness after a discharge of blood, but having been offered on Calvary’s Cross once for all.

The combination of the strength and the understanding of an honorable man and the gentle and quiet spirit of a beautiful, chaste woman make for a combination that the Lord loves and blesses in family situations. And men that know how to treat women want strong, understanding husbands for their daughters.

Marriage is honorable and fornication and adultery are grounds for judgment. It is the plan of God that husband and wife cooperate with one another in the raising of children. One of the reasons that these young adults see fornication as the norm and feel sanguine in marginalizing the relationships of a father in the life of their children is that they do not recognize this truth.
Blacks in the USA have bought into the efforts to reduce the Black population through birth control and abortion, while in Egypt, the Israelite midwives rejected the commandment of the Pharaoh to kill their own.

If a man touches a woman incorrectly, even if his motives are pure and the sin is only in the woman’s mind, the man can’t fix it. He can apologize, but he can’t untouch her. On the one hand, to not touch women seems kind of prudish, but on the other hand, the prudes usually tend to stay out of trouble.

God does not give us His Divinely inspired Word to condemn others, but to show them the error of their ways so that they might be saved. But we forget and allow our arrogance to lead us away from Christ and from personal purity into the judgment of others because it is far easier and more satisfying to point out the sins of others than to look at our own.

The more out-of-wedlock sex we have in our communities, the more out-of-wedlock pregnancies and births, the more female headed households, the more incarcerated young males, the fewer men available for marriage, and thus the more out-of-wedlock sex. And so the cycle goes. Biblical morality, particularly as it pertains to sexuality, is not just an arbitrary admonition from God; it is the very real solution to our social problems.
