110 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE STDs
According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis infections are increasing and there are an estimated 110 million people being treated for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States.
Gonorrhea infections increased 22.2 percent from 2015 to 2016 among men, and 13.8 percent among women.
The number of chlamydia cases increased 4.7% from 2015 to 2016. One survey found that 9.2 percent of girls aged 15 to 19 were infected with chlamydia; and 8 percent of women aged 20 to 24 were infected, reported The New York Times.
The rate of syphilis is the highest it has ever been since 1993 and it has increased among both men and women from 2015 to 2016. Men account for almost 90 percent of cases and most are among homosexual men.
There is a reason why the Word of God tells men,
“You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination” Leviticus 18:22.
This also applies to women (Romans 1:21-32).
There are two recommended treatments, which are administered simultaneously, ceftriaxone and azithromycin, although resistance to azithromycin is becoming common, and there is evidence of growing resistance to ceftriaxone.
The Word of God also tells us,
“So, she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said to him...Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning, let us solace ourselves with loves...He goes after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, till a dart strike through his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare and knows not that it is for his life” Proverbs 7:13, 18, 22-23 (emphasis added).
Please be reminded of the remedy God instituted: abstinence until married!
There is much wisdom to be found in the Word of God. The works of evil are the ways of death. Obedience to the Word of God is life, abundant life.
Jesus said,
“The thief (satan) comes to steal, kill and destroy. I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” John 10:10.
If you surrender yourself to the will of satan, you will suffer in this life and eternal hell. Surrender yourself to God and you will have life more abundantly in this world and eternal life in the world to come!
Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page - your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.In : Pestilences
