COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n A disturbing and deadly form of gonorrhea, first found in Japan, seems to be spreading:<\/p>\n Doctors are warning that a drug-resistant strain of gonorrhea could be more deadly than AIDS, and are urging members of US Congress to spend $54 million for the development of a drug that would fight it.<\/p>\n “This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly,”<\/em> Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine, told CNBC.<\/p>\n The new strain of gonorrhea, H041, was first discovered in 2009 after a sex worker fell victim to the superbug in Japan. Medical officials reported that the medication-resilient \u2018sex superbug\u2019 was discovered in Hawaii in May 2011, and has since spread to California and Norway, the International Business Times reports…<\/p>\n In the United States, there are 20 million new STD infections each year, which results in about $16 billion in medical costs, the CDC reports. More than 800,000 of these cases gonorrhea infections, most of which occur in young people ages 15 to 24. Gonorrhea is sometimes difficult to detect, since it shows no symptoms in about half of all women. Those who fall ill to the deadly strain may not notice it until it\u2019s too late. \u00a0http:\/\/rt.com\/news\/superbug-gonorrhea-aids-sex-900\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n If this is ‘worse than AIDs,’ it will be very costly in both human and financial terms.<\/p>\n The fact is that turning to biblical morality would eliminate gonorrhea, as well as all other STDs.<\/p>\n The Bible says that promiscuity is a sin against the body (1 Corinthians 6:18).\u00a0 Even the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) agrees that avoiding promiscuity is the best defense:<\/p>\n The most reliable ways to avoid transmission of STDs are to abstain from sexual activity, or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner. (Gay and Bisexual Men\u2019s Health. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\u00a0http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/msmhealth\/STD.htm<\/a>, viewed 03\/24\/13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Being faithful to biblical admonitions against fornication, adultery, and homosexuality are the \u201cmost reliable way to avoid transmission\u201d of sexually-transmitted diseases.<\/p>\n Of course, there are other strains of gonorrhea and other STDs.\u00a0 For example, if not treated, gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum will develop in 28% of infants born to women with gonorrhea (Prophylaxis for Gonococcal and Chlamydial Ophthalmia Neonatorum in<\/em> the Canadian Guide to Clinical Preventative Health Care”<\/a>. Public Health Agency of Canada.).<\/p>\n STDs affect society in many negative ways.\u00a0 As far as sexual immortality goes, notice a headline from today:<\/p>\n Polygamy and other arrangements are also likely to have supporters in the future–but is not appropriate (see Here\u2019s the Plain Truth About OLD TESTAMENT POLYGAMY)<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Bible has long warned against sexual immorality (Exodus 20:14; 1 Corinthians 6:18) and homosexuality (Jude 7), and that deadly pestilences would be around in the end times (Matthew 24:4-8; Revelation 6:7-8).<\/p>\n Newer and deadlier strains of STDs are consistent with that.<\/p>\n Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse<\/a> What is the pale horse of death and pestilences?
