Introduction
Grace and peace be unto you!
In an attempt to disseminate evidence based information to
Barbadians
and by extension our wider world towards improving the
HIV/AIDS
situation, I have decided to take the findings of a research
paper to
you as a part of mankind. Thus we have the family life
seminar -
Plain Plain Talk on Sex. A major part of it has already been
submitted to several Pastoral friends and the assembly which
I pastor
as (An Anatomical Overview of the Report on the Legal,
Ethical and
Socio-Economic Issues Relevant to HIV/AIDS in Barbados).
Therefore the objective is to give a divine perspective on
the issue
and thereby help prevent and not to reinvent the HIV/AIDS
information
wheel, but to increase the level of the anatomical knowledge
by 50%
as a result of the period of time you have set as a goal to
read this
book and at the same time increasing personal responsibility
for the
management of STIs in your nation.
A brief history of HIV/AIDS shows that AIDS was first
reported in
1981 by investigators in New York and California. Initially
most cases
of AIDS in the United States were diagnosed in homosexual
men, who
contracted the virus primarily through sexual contact, and
in
intravenous drug users, who became infected mainly by
sharing
contaminated hypodermic needles. In 1983 French and American
researchers isolated the causative agent, HIV, and by 1985
serological
tests to detect the virus had been developed.
HIV/AIDS spread to epidemic proportions in the 1980s,
particularly in
Africa, where the disease may have originated. Spread was
likely
facilitated by several factors, including increasing
urbanization and
long-distance travel in Africa, international travel,
changing sexual
mores, and intravenous drug use. By 2002 AIDS had claimed
more than 25
million lives worldwide. Approximately 40 million people
throughout
the world were infected with HIV. People living in
sub-Saharan Africa
accounted for more than 70 percent of all infections, and in
some
countries of the region the prevalence of HIV infection of
inhabitants
exceeded 10 percent of the population.
Rates of infection
were lower
in other parts of the world, but the epidemic was spreading
rapidly in
Eastern Europe, India, South and Southeast Asia, Latin
America, and
the Caribbean. In the United States the incidence of
HIV/AIDS had
stabilized at about 40,000 new infections per year.
One-third of all
new cases were women, for whom the primary risk factor was
heterosexual intercourse. In China the government estimated
that up to
850,000 people had contracted HIV by 2000 more than half of
them
having acquired the virus since 1997. (Encyclopaedia
Britannica 2005

A Biblical Overview of what God said about Himself
In addition, He is not caused. See Gen 1:1 In the beginning
God
created the heavens and the earth. Thus He created and
owned or
more simply put He has the copy rights to all matters of
heaven and
earth. Therefore God has a direct say on how all things are
to
operate on earth including mans sexuality.
Isa 45:5-11
5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;
7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.'
8 "Rain down, you heavens, from above, And let the skies pour down righteousness; Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, And let righteousness spring up together. I, the LORD, have created it.
9 "Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making' Or shall your handiwork say, 'He has no hands'
10 Woe to him who says to his father, 'What are you begetting' Or to the woman, 'What have you brought forth'"
11 Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of
Israel, and his
Maker: "Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And
concerning
the work of My hands, you command Me.
The name Elohim, however, contains the idea of creative
and
governing power, of omnipotence and sovereignty. This is
clearly
indicated by the fact that from Genesis 1:1 to 2:4 the word
Elohim
alone is used. It is the Elohim who by His mighty power
creates the
vast universe; who says, and it is done; who brings into
being what
was not (Heb 11:3). (Stone pg 12)
We need to understand that the purpose of sex is fourfold:
Pleasure (Ge 2:18; 23-25; 1Co7: 3-5)
Procreation (Ge 1:28; 5:3)
Spiritual Purity for widows who cannot exercise self control by containing themselves, but rather burn with passion, then marry (1Co 7: 8, 9
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;
9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.)
A symbol of our unity in Christ (Eph 5:31-33
31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
32 "This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.)
The marriage union is the only way man and woman can truly enjoy the riches God has planned for them. Because the relationship is specifically designed to illustrate Gods unending love for His people, sexual intercourse must be experienced in the context of a permanent, giving commitment (1Co7: 39). Man is the only creature of Gods creation who relates sexually face to face.
(Ed Wheat: Intended for Pleasure 97, 22)
Understanding this text (Rom 1:27-32) for our time it is
important to
know that human genitalia and sexuality is God given and God
defined.
It was a part of the very good design. Mans sexuality was
also part
of the very good work. Ge 1: 31 Then God saw everything that
He had
made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the
morning were
the sixth day.
God Himself designated man to be procreative from his
compliment
Ge 1:27, 28 So God created man in His own image; in the
image of God
He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God
blessed
them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill
the earth
and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over
the birds
of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the
earth.
This fact is demonstrated in Gen 4:1 Now Adam knew Eve his
wife, and
she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a
man from the
LORD. She conceived tells me that or means (pregnant:--(be,
woman)
with child from its root word a progenitor.) Note the one
who became
pregnant-the she and not the he. "Be fruitful (that is to
bear fruit
(literally or figuratively):--bear, bring forth (fruit),
(be, cause to
be, make) grow, increase.) This is a biologically related
ancestor or
a person that originates something or serves as a model).
Adam and Eve acknowledged God as the source in the process
of
producing a child. Sexual intercourse in the original design
was/is
nothing shameful as in the case of sin. Sex was/is between
male and
female.
Good Sex begins with a clean heart
Total body health is a sign of good health which aids health
sex.
God requires that we should prosper and be in health
3Jo 1:1-2 THE ELDER, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in
truth: 2
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in
health,
just as your soul prospers.
Above all things next after a life in harmony with Gods
purpose, may
you see it in your environment working for you. I know you
are
prospering in the concerns of your soul. I wish you similar
prosperity
in your body. (Jamieson-Fauset-Brown Commentary, Power
Bible CD)
John was praying for the alignment of Gaius's prosperity in
general
and good health in particular.
Prosperity is directly linked to truth
This concept is established when we get to matters of the
body defence
system through the CD4 cells and the way in which the HIV
virus
mutates itself.
What sex is not
Sex is not buggery, which is the carnal knowledge and sexual
relation between two male persons.It is not
lesbianism, that
is, female persons who share sexual relations with each
other as
though in a man-woman copulative relationship. Buggery, in
particular,
is the use of two incompatible organs, that of the sexual
(penis) and
digestive (anus).
The anus is the opening of the lower extremity of the
alimentary canal
God created and united Adam and Eve (the 1st Marriage)
The comparable help, meet for Adam, was the woman. The woman
is the
female, the complementing companion to the male without an
implanted
womb. Bed means kaite in the Greek (the original language of
the
New Testament). This means cohabitation by implanting the
male sperm,
which is acceptable in marriage (Strongs Concordance)
Condom use and certain protection
I must insert here that I went in search of some condoms
facts. I
examined packages of condoms Erotica by name was the first
and it
said, Each Contempo Condom is individually electronically
tested for
reliability and safety to meet U.S. standards. For maximum
protection, carefully follow the usage instructions inside
this
package. If used properly, latex condoms will help reduce
the risk of
transmission of HIV infection (AIDS) and many other sexually
transmitted diseases.
Although no contraceptive or pro-phy-lac-tic can guarantee
100%
effectiveness, Contempo condoms, when properly used, reduce
the risk
of pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted
diseases.
Condoms are primarily intended for the use in vaginal
intercourse; other uses can increase the potential for
breakage. Prime,
Extra
Strength, Rough Rider and Erotim had similar readings.
What is this saying to us If it is not for vaginal
intercourse,
then, do not use this product.
Anal intercourse is actually introducing the onset of the
destruction
of the digestive system of the man or woman who practices
it.
In several articles in my search for anal pathology, the
look at the
anus brought to my attention that it is a digestive organ
The human
digestive tract. Human digestion begins in the mouth.and is
expelled
through the anus. Common diseases of the human digestive
tract include
infections, inflammations, ulcers, and cancers. (Encyclopaedia
Britannica)
Man was not born disposed to homosexuality
The term homosexuality was coined in the 1860s and from then onwards homosexuals were increasingly regarded as being a separate type of people having a particular sexual aberration Use of the term lesbian dates from a slightly later time. (Gittens, pg 196) Evidence points to homosexuality as being a matter of individual choice.
The man-woman as created by God; the expected norm
Spousal affection is the expected norm of marriage 1Co
7:3-5 1Co
7:3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due
her, and
likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not
have
authority over her own body, but the husband does. And
likewise the
husband does not have authority over his own body, but the
wife does.
5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time,
that you
may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together
again so
that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of
self-control.
Affection/benevolence in the passage informs us of kindness;
conjugal
duty:--benevolence, good will and the conjugal cohabitation
due by the
marriage contract. (Strongs Concordance & Jameison-Faussett-Brown
Commentary)
People are not born gay. Camille Paglia, a lesbian activist
has had
the courage to boldly state that most homosexuals refuse to
admit;
Homosexuality is not normal. On the contrary, it is a
challenge to
the norm. Nature exists whether academics like it or not.
And in
nature, procreation is the single relentless rule. That is
the norm.
Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction. No one is
born gay.
The idea is ridiculous. Homosexuality is an adaptation,
not an
inborn trait Homosexual activists, of course, claim that
their
behavior is normal and thats why the American Psychiatric
Association (APA) removed homosexuality as a Gender Identity
Disorder
in 1973.
What they fail to admit, however, is that homosexual activists literally terrorized the APA into removing homosexuality as a disorder. Homosexual scientist Simon LeVay admits this. He notes: Gay activism was clearly the force that propelled the APA to declassify homosexuality.
Instruments of the moral struggle
Let us move on to the innocent brainless instruments that we
have
introduced in/of the struggle of immorality.
These instruments are; the mouth, the penis, the vagina and
the
anus. During sexual intercourse, under normal husband and wife
relations, the vagina welcomes the penis as a pleasurable
and
compatible tool for the task. I quote, Internally, it
contains two
small corpora cavernosa which cause it to enlarge and
stiffen during
sexual excitation. It is amply endowed with touch sensitive
nerve
endings
Controlling/working with the urges
To understand the control dimension, we need to take a
closer look at
the nervous system. Here is the burden of proof that we can
master
our system, rather than our system mastering us. The nervous
system
consists of the central nervous system and the peripheral
nervous
system Sexual response involves the entire nervous system.
The
autonomic system controls the involuntary responses; the
afferent
cerebrospinal nerves carry the sensory messages to the
brain; the
efferent cerebrospinal nerves carry commands from the brain
to the
muscles; and the spinal cord serves as a great transmission
cable. The
brain itself is the coordinating and controlling centre,
interpreting
what sensations are to be perceived as sexual and issuing
appropriate
"orders" to the rest of the nervous system.
The parts of the brain thought to be most concerned with
sexual
response are the hypothalamus and the limbic system, but no
specialized "sex centre" has been located in the human brain.
Sex contrary to Scripture
Exposure to an STD can occur anytime a person has sex or
close contact
that involves the genitals, the mouth, or the rectum with
another
person, but exposure is more likely if a person has many sex
partners
or does not use condoms. STDs can be prevented by not having
sexual
contact (abstinence). (McIlhaney pg 522)
Examining prostitution Biblically
Prostitution comes along with the detestable package of
immorality. Gods covenant rejects this lifestyle in the
human
experience.
Le 19:29 Do not prostitute your
daughter, to
cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry,
and the
land become full of wickedness. Is certainly was and is not
a
lifestyle to adopt.
Pr 6:23-26; Pr 29:3; Lu 15:13;
1Co 6:15-18 Do you not know that your bodies are members of
Christ
Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them
members of a
harlot Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is
joined to
a harlot is one body with her For "the two," He says, "shall
become
one flesh." 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one
spirit with
Him. 18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is
outside
the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against
his own
body.
In this 1Co 6 text - sins against his own body The
fornicator takes
his body which belongs to Christ and unites it with a
harlot.
In fornication the body is the instrument of sin and becomes
the
subject of the damage wrought. In another sense fornication
brings on
one's own body the two most terrible bodily diseases that
are still
incurable (gonorrhea and syphilis) that curse one's own body
and
transmit the curse to the third and fourth generation.
Apart from the
high view given here by Paul of the relation of the body to
the Lord
no possible father or mother has the right to lay the hand
of such
terrible diseases and disaster on their children and
children's
children. The moral and physical rottenness wrought by
immorality defy
one's imagination. (Robertson NT Word Picture Commentary)
Buggery disturbs the absorption and digestive process and
design in man
Let us check the evidence. The intestinal wall (small and
large) is
composed of four layers: mucosa, submucosa, the muscularis,
and the
serosa Fingerlike folds of the mucosa, called villi,
project into
the lumen of the interior of the intestines and increase the
absorption surface by approximately 600-fold. (Bullock
et.al. pg 484)
It also disturbs electrolytes absorption. I quote - most of
the
sodium (salt) is absorbed in the jejunum (part of the small
intestines) with less being absorbed in the ileum and the
colon.
(Ibid pg 493)
The act of buggery is telling me that one is making colon
deposits
with each act, inclusive of oils smeared as built on condoms
to
seminal deposits and other dangerous bacteria directly from
the penis.
Note that in the vagina, under normal heterosexual coitus,
this
process is self cleaning for the potential of impregnating
the woman.
Buggery on the other hand makes the particular person/s a
prime
candidate for severe ill-health. This process we will see a
little
later.

A new, highly drug resistant strain of the HIV virus
A new, highly drug resistant strain of the HIV virus has
been
detected in a man in New York. Health experts say the strain
is
difficult or impossible to treat. At the moment this is an
isolated
case.
An HIV patient who failed to use anti-retroviral drugs and showed signs of AIDS just a few months after it was believed he was infected. The average time lag is at least a decade and New York health officials are concerned. The patient who has not been identified is in his mid-forties and a member of New Yorks gay community. He's had unprotected sex with several male partners while taking a drug known as crystalmetanphetamine (StarcomNetwork"starcomnews, Sun, 13 Feb 2005)
Secondly, another alert has emerged in the UK. A sexually
transmitted
infection that, before now, has mainly been seen in the
developing
world is spreading in the UK and Western Europe, experts
say. London
is among a number of major cities that have reported
outbreaks of
lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV). The 24 cases confirmed in
England have
been in gay men, but both sexes can contract LGV through
unprotected
sex. Its symptoms include genital ulcers and swelling in the
groin,
but it can be treated using antimicrobial agents.
In recent months, outbreaks of LGV have been reported in the
cities of
Rotterdam, Antwerp, Paris, Stockholm and Hamburg "LGV was
previously
hardly ever seen in the Western world What we are seeing now
is
something that is quite new and is affecting gay men."
He said that it was not clear how long LGV had been in
Western
Europe, there have been 24 confirmed cases in England. The HPA
has been
able to trace 19 of the cases. All are gay men, and 17 are
also HIV
positive. [Cases of LGV are now being newly reported in
several areas
in both the USA (California, Texas, Georgia and New York)
and Europe
(England, the Netherlands, France, Sweden and Germany).
See -
promed@promedmail.org. Following the two months
situation we
had a six months death situation occurring after contracting
HIV/AIDS.
Prof Courtenay Bartholomew said - A TRINIDAD man died in just
six
months after he was infected with the HIV/AIDS virus The
professor,
who is the head of the Medical Research Foundation in Port
of Spain,
revealed that a rare strain of HIV/AIDS which could kill in
six
months, regardless of anti-retroviral treatment, has already
hit
Trinidad and Tobago. Bartholomew disclosed that his research
centre
had published a report on one of the shortest incubation
periods in
HIV/AIDS in medical history, namely a man who died six
months after he
became infected. The name, age and sexual preference of the
man were
not disclosed. (caribbeannews.com). It was later disclosed
on a radio
news broadcast. This case demonstrates that the package of
HIV/AIDS
can cause us to self-destruct in six months. Arising from
this the
question is, is this God will for our lives in terms of
quality life
and number of years
Life expectancy is at least 70 years of quality life
This quality life is seen in 1Pe 1:15, 16 15 but as He who
called you
is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it
is
written, "Be holy, for I am holy. As we shall see later it
is not
two years, three years, ten or fifteen years but at least
seventy
years.; If we count the risk years of the vulnerable group
of 15-49
years it would at least be 21 years more starting at the
high end of
49 years. My evidence for this assertion is found in Ps
90:10 The
days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of
strength they
are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is
soon cut off, and we fly away. See also Lu 2:36; 1Ti 5:9;
from these
chronological years we seem to see a pattern in the time
line for man.
Sex down to the bones
Function of T helper cells: Antigen presenting cells (APCs)
present
antigen on their Class II MHC molecules (MHC2). Helper T
cells
recognize these, with the help of their expression of CD4
co-receptor
(CD4+)
The importance of helper T cells can be seen from HIV, a
virus that
infects cells that are CD4+ (including helper T cells).
Towards the
end of an HIV infection the number of functional CD4+ T
cells falls,
which leads to the symptomatic stage of infection known as
the
acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). There are also
rare
disorders, probably genetic in etiology, that result in the
absence or
dysfunction of CD4+ T cells. These disorders produce similar
symptoms,
and many of these are fatal (see T-Lymphocytopenia).
What are T-Cells
A T-cell is a type of lymphocyte. Okay, so what's a
lymphocyte
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. About 15 to 40
percent of
your white blood cells are lymphocytes. And they are some of
the most
important cells in your immune systemprotecting you from
viral
infections; helping other cells fight bacterial and fungal
infections;
producing antibodies; fighting cancers; and coordinating the
activities of other cells in the immune system.
HIV infection produces a mild disease that is self-limiting.
This is
not seen in all patients and about half remain asymptomatic
during the
initial period of infection. In the period immediately after
infection, virus titer rises (about 4 to 11 days after
infection) and
continuesThe virus disseminates to other regions including
to
lymphoid and nervous tissue. This is the most infectious
phase of the
disease.
Loss of CD4+ cells and abortion of the immune response. One reason that the immune system fails to control HIV infection is that the CD4+ T helper cells are the target of the virus. Also follicular dendritic cells can be infected with HIV and these also diminish in number over time. Moreover, dendritic cells present antigen to CD4+ cells and may bring the virus into contact with these cells at the time that they are stimulated to proliferate by antigen.
During the course of infection, there is a profound loss of
the
specific immune response to HIV because:
Gods will is health down to the bones
Pro 3:5-8 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean
not on
your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He
shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the
LORD and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your
flesh, And
strength to your bones.
5-6 Several specific instructions compose this general
admonition to
be faithful. The first is to trust in the Lord and not in
oneself,
because he grants success. Batah ("trust," v.5) carries the
force of
relying on someone for security; the confidence is to be in
the Lord
and not in human understanding. The call is for a trust
characterized
by total commitment"with all your heart" (v.5), "in all your
ways"
(v.6). Binah ("understanding") is now cast in a sinful mode
(cf. 1:2,
6); so there is to be a difference between the binah that
wisdom
brings and the natural binah that undermines faith. What
these
beautiful expressions call for is "absolute obedience and
surrender in
every realm of life" (Fritsch, IBC, 4:799). When obedient
faith is
present, the Lord will guide the believer along life's paths
in spite
of difficulties and hindrances. The idea of "straight" (v.6)
contrasts
to the crooked and perverse ways of the wicked.
(Expositor's Bible Commentary, The, Pradis CD-ROM:Proverbs)
This text is written in a way that the part mentioned
represents the
whole. More specifically science now shows us that a major
part of
the quality of life that we enjoy is based in our bones.
That is the
CD4 cells. The cells play a major role in our immune
system; the very
cells that the HIV virus attacks and mutates and later kills
us.
Therefore what we are being taught by Scripture is the need
for
behavior change towards God, self and fellow man in order to
enjoy
longevity.
The self driven motives of man to show his wisdom brings
destruction.
Behavioural Change
There is no cure or effective vaccine for HIV infection.
Efforts at
prevention have focused primarily on changes in sexual
behaviour such
as the practice of abstinence and the use of condoms.
Attempts to
reduce intravenous drug use and to discourage the sharing of
needles
have also led to a reduction in infection rates in some
areas.
(Encyclopaedia Britannica 2005 Deluxe)
A case for morality legislation
Morality is a communicable attribute of God passed on to
man.
Morality is also a system of ethical conduct that sets
standards, the
breach of which may attract condemnation. The results of
these
transgressions normally have dire and serious social
consequences to
public life. Law is then established to reverse the impact
of the
breach.
Morality is the basis of all other laws in human relations.
It can be
summarised in the word love, that is, the love of
God.Mt
22:38-40 38 "This is the first and great commandment.
39 "And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor
as
yourself.' 40 "On these two commandments hang all the Law
and the
Prophets."
Law can be defined as a system of rules, principles and
regulations
that require obedience and which if broken will attract
punishment or
sanction. Morality and law is combined in the interest of
public good.
The burden of proof for morality
moral values also shape attitudes towards money and
property, gender
roles, friendship, behaviour at work-in fact it is difficult
to think
of any area of our lives where morality has no applicationin
any
society, at any time, question relating to birth and death
and to the
establishing of families are regarded as morally
significant. These
can perhaps be regarded as core moral issues. (Elliott and
Quin, pg
548)
In looking at what ought to be done or boundaries Elliot and
Quin
sate, Both law and morals are normative; they specify what
ought to
be done and aim to mark the boundaries between acceptable
and
unacceptable conduct. (Ibid 549)
As pointed out earlier the institutionalisation of sodomy helps to uphold a type of second degree murder As Pro. The Hon. E.R. Waldrond; CHB says, any abrogation of a right must not be capricious and must be seen unequivocally to be in the best interest of the society. (Waldrond Report, pg 48)
Gleaning more information from the same professor, he said,
to make
it explicit that the transmission of disease stands on a par
with
inflicting an injury on a person. (Waldron Report pg 42)
Are we willing as a society to freely associate with human
conduct
that will inflict malignant injury on a person
The Bible is an eternally settled book of life
Psm 119:89 LAMED. Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in
heaven.
Ro 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written
for our
learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the
Scriptures
might have hope.
