That shows a real knowledge and practicals application of biblical teaching.

The bible clearly teaches that Christians only have sex with the person they are married to.

For a 'christian' to encourage others to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases shows a low level of spiritual live among Christians.

"I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance"

jesus of nazareth


"He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone "

Genesis 30:1-3 “And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her”

From my experience, the bible clearly teaches whatever it is the person preaching wants it to teach.

You said it right people only see or hear what they want to believe.

In the ancient near East what they did had legal implications for all parties and was not a form of casual sex.

I disagree. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says to avoid sexual immorality, meaning sexual relationships outside of holy wedlock.

Deuteronomy 28:27 hints that there are consequences for sexual immorality, including diseases that cannot be cured (the scripture says exactly this).

The best vaccine, so to speak, against STDs is chastity until God brings you your life-time spouse.

Um.. Are you suggesting that people who have not been chaste should not get tested? That seems ill advised.

What would be the point of getting tested for STDs among unchaste people? Most STDs can’t be cured. If someone has genital blisters from HSV-2, it never goes away. They have it for life. Same with HIV/AIDS. It’s not like a doctor can do anything about it.

If somebody is not monogamous, they should want to know whether they have a disease so A) they might be cured, B) they can take reasonable precautions (they exist), C) they can possibly stop having sex, D) they can inform their partners so the partner can do A through D and possibly stop a chain of infection.

Antibiotics can cure some and others are treatable so that it is suppressed, such as HIV, to the point that it is not transmitted. It is always a benefit to know either way.
