Subject: Circumcision reduces HIV rates by half |
Bible Note: Parable - A 50 percent reduction in incidence of HIV infection among males who get themselves circumcised is good news, but only half as good as a 100 percent reduction among those who engage in sex according to God's plan: one man united in marriage to one woman. Both Jeff and WOS have pointed this out quite ably in response to your posts. ..... My point is that man has tried but failed to devise a scheme for "safe sex," but God laid it down succinctly and for all time in Genesis 2:24. We don't need a lot of "scientific studies" to validate God's plan for the sexual behavior of humankind. --Hank |
