THE CATHOLICS ARE BURING THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND. HAVING LARGE FAMILIES IS HAMPERING MANY COMMNUNITIES. COUNTRIES WITH BIRTH CONTROL AND SMALLER FAMILIES TEND TO DO BETTER. STOP ATTACKING THE SAFE SEX MESSAGE.

These Catholic Bishops in Ghana are out of touch from the real world.They condemn everything that is done.
They should rather go and challenge/condemn the Pope at the Vatican for his openly support for the gay.

Sex among teens in Countries that distributed Condoms to School Kids is disgusting, nauseating and unprintable for decades.Teenage pregnancies is still there,though. In Ghana,the sector Minister should respect the traditions of the people if She an Alien,so to say, to refrain from irresponsible adoptations of other Cultures and practices that are in contrast with our traditional values.The best and most effective abstinence is not to distribute Condom to School Children whether the person is below 18 or above is not the issue.

Teenagers have had knowledge about sex since middle school and they have passed puberty. Their bodies produce sex hormones copiously and they naturally desire to have sex in one form or the other. Religious and social control force teens to hide to have sex without parental knowledge. This practice has been going on for ages. Preach abstinence but provide sex education in schools backed by condom on demand without judgement. Some teens are going to have sex. Condoms prevent teenage pregnancies and protect our children from STDs such as HIV, GONO ect. Let's keep it real here.

They know how to have sex in middle school, get real. Teach sex education in schools to prevent pregnancies and STDs. Condoms do not hurt teens, it protects them. They have sex when you're not watching them 24/7.

There is no evil in this maan! Who taught you how to have sex? Certainly not your parents but friends could have as it was in my case. If No amount of preaching especially from the Catholic Church where preaching is like hymning could stop them from sex, then the minister for once is on a good course to protect the students from teenage pregnancies and the public from STDs. I lived many years in Israel where they teach abstinence. However, slot (condom) machines have been installed in their schools just in case one could not control the urge. This is very laudable and in my many years there, never saw or heard of unwanted pregnancy.

Get real teenage sex is prevalent and natural because it's their bodies are producing sex hormones for the first time. Sex education must be included in their curriculum with condom on request.

What is strange is that in all those statements they made there's nothing substantial.

For their information: condoms do not kill unborn babies, but prevent them altogether.

A man longs to wed a maiden with her virtue intact. He searches
for years to find a virgin but resigns himself to the fact that
every female over the age of 18 in his town has been at it.

Finally he decides to take matters in hand and adopts a baby girl
from the orphanage. He raises her until she is walking and
talking and then sends her away to a monastery for safekeeping
until marrying age.

After many years she finally reaches maturity and he retrieves
her from the monastery and marries her. After the wedding they
make their way back to his house and into the bedroom where they
both prepare themselves for the consummation.

They lie down together in his bed and he reaches over for a jar
of petroleum jelly.

"Why the jelly?" she asks him.

"So I don't hurt your most delicate parts during the act of
lovemaking," he replies.

"Well, why don't you just spit on your cock like the monks did ?

Are you serious Sir and can you provided me with your research evidence. Don't you know it can also prevent unwanted pregnancies most of the time. You can't stop human being from having sex honorable when the time is ripe. If you have no evidence please don't say what you don't know because your wisdoms will lead others to distruction

One would have thought that catholic bishops would be the the last people to moralize about the promotion of and use of condoms abortion and homosexuality as foreign inspired ideologies. They dont seem to realise that their religion is also a foreign construct. They also seem oblivious about the scandal of child abuse by catholic priests across the world.
promoting condom use in schools in Ghana would save lives of young girls who suffer abuse,rape etc throughout the country who are forced to seek backstreet abortions or even DIY abortions which kill many girls every year in the country.
The Bishops are overstating their influence. It will not make an iota of difference what they say. The sensible school goings students who are sexually active can buy condoms at the market and stores. However in order to ensure that they obtain safer and free condoms in schools would help.

First and foremost premarital sex is sin, whether we are know it or not.

The western world has comprised, little by little and now they are paying dearly for their disobedience.

They are struggling with overwhelming number of teenagers who feed on tobacco, and engage in premarital sex and abortion.

Premarital sex and abortion are also in our society, but let us all be warned that God is very much fuming with anger against abortion practices in the name of so called "unwanted pregnancies". He is equally against fornication and adultery. This is not my word. It is the WORD of God, who is a consuming fire. So no one should be deceived!

The floodgate of hell has widened because of many tributaries from same sex marriages which was preceded by condom use in high schools.

Our teenagers should be protected and groomed academically and spiritually to face up to the future.

Let us not listen to the dictates of the devil. The WORD of God is final on all matters, and therefore let no one be deceived.

Every individual is to exercise self discipline in the fear if God and in obedience to Christ.

And for foolish boys and men who are inflamed with passion and going about sleeping around, be warned once and for all, for the angels of the little ones aborted are always beholding the face of God as to when HE will avenge the guilt.

And let no one be deceived. Death and Life is before us. God has commanded we choose Life that we may live.

Avoid sex until marriage. And do not go outside your marriage to commit sex.

Develop yourself spiritually while in School. Make it a determination to read all the books of the Bible, little by little and precept upon precepts. Fellowship with friends who desire the WORD of God and talk about the things of God.

Develop your Prayer Life. Also, make it a determination to lead people to the Lord. When you consistently engage yourself in these things, in addition to being serious about your studies, the enemy will have no room to deceive you.

Let us remember that there is a GLORY that is to be revealed on the day which is to come.

Yes, Christ sacrificial blood paid for sin, but the Mercies and Grace of God is not allowance for sin, as the scriptures clearly says.

Infact, the Bible says when we sin again and again, we are crucifying Christ again and again.

It is worth noting that, in the OT, Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land because he struck the ROCK, the second time, in breach of the fact Christ was to be struck(crucified) once.

Ladies and gentlemen, if Moses of people angered God, in this unfortunate situations, should we not take heed, in all discipline and stay put in Christ?

Angels are taking stock of everything that we are doing, and we cannot afford to joke, else one would be deceiving himself herself.

Therefore, any subtle suggestions that paves the way for deeds that have the appearance of sin, should not be encouraged(See book Thessalonians). Appearance if sin gives birth to sin.

If you create a viable environment for premarital sex (and also adultery), that is exactly what you will reap.

It is my humble prayer that whoever has read this piece, with a contrite spirit unto repentance, may the forgiveness of the Lord be his or her portion.

And Father, we look up to the Heavens with trembling, and submit to your Lordship more and more in these last days that we may be recused from every sexual temptations, and flee fornication and adultery.

May we warn each other about this, for you are the God of Israel, a God who is a consuming fire, and you cannot be mocked! Indeed, you can never be mocked. Not at all.

Please, read through the book Of Hebrews!
