No you said a definitive statement that is not entirely accurate. That is bearing false witness, is it not? Lying by omission. Unless you were just unaware that there are other ways of contracting STDs and STIs? Or were you oversimplifying?You tried..... I laughed.
It mostly comes from bacteria and viruses. Which exist independent of human beings.It has to come from somewhere.....sleeping with a bunch of people certainly increases your risk, especially if you don't know who (or how many) your partner has slept with....biologically, you have slept with all of them.....
You could say that about disease in general, honestly.There are so many other STD's to choose from....heck, its like a smorgasbord!
Cross infection was kind of what I was hinting at. But if you need the Bible to tell you not to hump a Koala (assuming it doesn't claw out your eyes first) then you have bigger things to worry about than getting "the clap" honestly.You know that even Koalas get chlamydia, don't you? And since its not unheard of to practice bestiality, (something that the Bible forbids) its little wonder that there can be cross-infection.
Yes, it's commonly spread through sex and exchange of bodily fluid. Did I say otherwise?Here's how its spread...
How Is HIV Transmitted?
Indeed, as are a lot of terminal illnesses.Yes, a horrible death.
Beware of @Revoltingest Deej. That's all I'm sayin.
I don't think they ever went away, really.A lot of old medicinal methods are making a comeback....maggots for cleaning badly infected wounds....blood letting....leeches.....cannabis....actual real food picked fresh from a garden.....water that is uncontaminated by pesticides and other chemicals.....no plastic....and not to be left out....fresh air to breathe.
Oh mate. I drove to work yesterday with my fog lights on, in the middle of the day! It was just smoke as far as the eye could see. I'm used to Bushfires, but damn, if it's this bad in the burbs, then I feel really bad for anyone living the outback this year.Fires are burning all around me at the moment so the air is a bit thick with smoke right now.....you got fires where you are?
By dismembering the false gods, as you so crudely put it, you cause societal unrest and moral inconsistency by default. Do you really need someone to spell it out to you what happens when you supplant thousands of years of traditions with something entirely different? Really? It seems rather elementary to me. Society needs time to adjust and figure things out. You can't just irradiate ancient identities and supplant it with something else without causing friction, at the very least. The Polytheistic Romans would have been confused at the more black and white monotheism that Christianity offered.What did Christianity do that would make a powerful Empire crumble...apart from dismembering their false gods that is....
Oh goody. From one murderous ravenous bloodthirsty empire rose an equally ravenous, bloodthirsty and murderous empire. One that had an even worse slavery angle (at least in Rome, a slave could rise above his station after being freed.) A veritable phoenix indeed. Mind you, at least when Rome conquered people, it generally left it's traditions in peace. The Brits just acted like holier than thou ******** when they went around conquering people. As much as I like Britain, it's almost like Rome for all it's faults was probably the lesser of two evils, all things considered. But again, I defer to @Augustus, since they seem to be the resident history buff.It didn't happen overnight.....but interestingly, from the Bible's perspective, Britannia appears to have arisen out of the ashes of Rome.
Oh you.Don't hold your breath sweet-pea...
You're looking forward to the absolute destruction of earth and the deaths of millions?Nope, but I am soooo looking forward to seeing the end of this rotten world though....I'm hanging out for the new one.....nothing to fear for those who are on the right side.
Alas, I find it a little bit blase compared to some of the other end times predictions. Is it possible to squeeze in some kind of Kaju/Giant Monster/Gozilla type fights in there somewhere?I thought we did .....we actually brought it into the 21st century and demonstrated how the First World War was the beginning of the "time of the end" and that when the world became "just like the days of Noah", then Jesus was not too far away......(Matthew 24:37-39) We're nearly there....
Does that mean you're not the best Scotsman? I feel like I don't even know you anymoreThis'n donna eat blood...even if fried up as a delicious scab.
The best?Does that mean you're not the best Scotsman? I feel like I don't even know you anymore
I think that is the covenant God made through Jesus. He confirmed and clarified the old.
No you said a definitive statement that is not entirely accurate. That is bearing false witness, is it not? Lying by omission. Unless you were just unaware that there are other ways of contracting STDs and STIs? Or were you oversimplifying?
It mostly comes from bacteria and viruses. Which exist independent of human beings.
But you can get STDs from even bad water, so I mean, you could probably also boil all the water you drink beforehand just to be safe. Or drink bottled I guess.
Indeed, as are a lot of terminal illnesses.
But medicine will persevere. It doesn't sit down and wring its hands with fret. It will find a treatment if not a cure. We have already made great strides in treatment of HIV and AIDS in the last couple of decades. We will get through this Deej, as a species, as a people.
You're looking forward to the absolute destruction of earth and the deaths of millions?
I mean whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Although I appreciate the somewhat ironic timing, given your Aussie background. WWI is largely where Australia got it's modern identity, separate from the "Motherland." That it's also the beginning of the end is a nice touch, thematic wise.
To quote....
"STDs are sexually transmitted diseases. This means they are most often -- but not exclusively -- spread by sexual intercourse. HIV, chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, some forms of hepatitis, syphilis, and trichomoniasis are STDs.
You can get a STD from vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
You are at high risk if:
https://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/understanding-stds-basics
- You have more than one sex partner
- You have sex with someone who has had many partners
- You don't use a condom when having sex
- You share needles when injecting intravenous drugs
- You trade sex for money or drugs"
I'm thinking that they are called "sexually transmitted diseases" for a reason. Waddurekon?
Sure they exist independent of humans....but how do humans acquire them? They somehow manage to get spread by having multiple sexual partners....so where did they come from?
webmd says...
"The germs that cause STDs hide in semen, blood, vaginal secretions, and sometimes saliva. Most of the organisms are spread by vaginal, anal, or oral sex, but some, such as those that cause genital herpes and genital warts, may be spread through skin contact. You can get hepatitis B by sharing personal items, such as toothbrushes or razors, with someone who has it."
Oh, so that is where they come from....?
Some of these viruses and bacteria are STD's and others which are not called STD's can be spread by other means.
....swimming in a contaminated pool or drinking bad water....?
"Dr. Edward Brooks, an infectious disease specialist at Stanford Health Care, explains that there is no evidence that an individual can get an STD from casually swimming in a pool. Transmission of STDs through a hot tub or pool are only possible if two people are engaging in sexual activity while in the water."
Nice try....
You don't honestly believe that the medical profession is even remotely interested in cures do you?
They know their pharmacology all right....the pills that they are 'encouraged' (bribed) to prescribe that are made from synthetic chemicals, which are not designed to kill you outright, but just enough to keep you sick long enough to empty your bank account. There is no money in cures...why do you think people are still dying from cancer? Chemo is a multi-million dollar cash cow. I don't think people understand how corrupt this world is.
No no no....I am looking forward to the elimination of all wickedness, exploitation and ungodliness from this world so that wars, crime, violence and oppression can never happen again. I want what Adam and his wife had in the beginning.....no sickness, no aging and no death, in paradise conditions for free...forever....if that means the demise of all the people who don't give a hoot about God, who want to trash his earth, and break his laws, then I believe they are what the Americans call "collateral damage".
When you get a warning and you ignore it.....that's what happens. I'm sad but its not my call.
Nah...no need for any extra drama.....what is described in the Bible would outdo any Hollywood movie. No stunt doubles will be needed.....everyone is required to do their own.
I thought so too....it was the beginning of the end...it has a nice ring to it....don't you think?
It would be funny if it wasn't so serious....
All this stuff about STDs isn't very Christmassy, and it's putting me off my mince pies.
What does the rest of scripture state about the "new covenant" ...doesn't it say it your quote from Jeremiah that was "not according to the covenant [God] made with their fathers"?...
Yes, it was not done the same way, but the Law is the same, now it is just written in the “hearts”, not only in books.
See? Plausible deniability. By adding in the other ways people can get STDs/STIs, (by the way, one can also get HIV from one's mum in the womb and Syphilis from kissing for example) you add in a built in deflection. By hyperfocusing on sex as a way to spread STDs/STIs you open yourself up to nitpicking jerks like me being all semantic and dramatic. I learnt it from all my cousins who are nitpicky teachers. I blame their nefarious influence.To quote....

Yes, other means. Sexual activity involves sharing bodily fluid, but that's not actually the only way to share bodily fluid. Otherwise we wouldn't have, what's routinely referred to as the "Kissing Disease."Sure they exist independent of humans....but how do humans acquire them? They somehow manage to get spread by having multiple sexual partners....so where did they come from?

I never said anything about getting it from contaminated swimming pools. Nice try.....swimming in a contaminated pool or drinking bad water....?

Mate, we live in Australia. My father was chronically ill for the last part of his life and we never paid a single solidarity cent to any hospital. Had we lived in America, we'd be bankrupt several times over.You don't honestly believe that the medical profession is even remotely interested in cures do you?

Well, sure. Hammering tent pegs in bodies and the flood and the plagues and all that jazz. I mean it's like one of those slasher films you guys always whine about, really. (and I'm saying, you guys in reference to christian protesters to gore in general. Not directing that at you, specifically. Just to be clear.)Nah...no need for any extra drama.....what is described in the Bible would outdo any Hollywood movie. No stunt doubles will be needed.....everyone is required to do their own.
Oh, I knew you appreciated the art of storytelling, Deej. Your posts are too animated to really suggest a lack of any artistic appreciation. See, I think you and I could get along. Here I might be aloof and combative. But in reality I'm aloof and nerdy. And really just want to geek out with someone, that's all.I thought so too....it was the beginning of the end...it has a nice ring to it....don't you think?
It would be funny if it wasn't so serious....
