Numerous are the cures in mice that do not work in men.
Let me fill you in on a sad secret.
Infections are viewed from within those pits as a feature, not a bug.
There is a worse problem going on here.

*And it is spreading like wildfire, especially throughout the LGBT community (praise God).
It is a very clear warning - The wages of sin are indeed death. But It is not right to rejoice in the suffering of others. Pray for their conversion and that God’s grace be revealed to them.*
Agreed.

*God isn’t doing this to anybody. People are doing it to themselves.*
Agreed.
Since tone of voice does not come across through the written word, things like God’s warnings to us can come across as cursing.
Now, God does certain curse some things and states so, but other times, like when God told Adam that in the day he ate of the tree, that he would die, it could be taken either as a severe warning, a threat, a curse, or a warning. A lot depends on the concept you have of God, whether a loving heavenly Father, or as stern harsh judge and task master.
He gave us restrictions to protect us.

Lets not blame God for incurable bugs.
He has a time set aside to punish those that deserve it, but presently his judgements are reserved for “Nations,” according to his word.

Agreed.
They are bad.
That’s the penalty for their sin.
Well, only part of it.
I don’t think God is working overtime in a lab, inventing diseases that He can gleefully give to punish sinners. When people abuse their bodies with unnatural behavior, things God never intended or designed, of course they will invite all sorts of diseases and injuries.

Possibly.
Mice lack the capacity to sin, so theirs is an indirect hazard.
I’ve heard as well, that semen contains substances that suppress the immune system. That is thought to be the reason for such a high prevalence of these kinds of diseases.
Re : Post # 15 ~
*what about fat ####s like me. What about the drinkers on the board? What about the smokers?
Those cost us a fortune.
Thank God some people around here weren’t around when Jesus said “he who is without sin, let him cast the first stone”*
Are you trying to equate sodomy with drinking/smoking?
... but the free gift of God is salvation in Christ Jesus.
The big problem here is our own literally (this is not gratuitous cussing) God-damned PRIDES.
We think we need to deliver ourselves. But this is impossible cubed.
There’s a spiritual trap going on with these folks. They know in their hearts it’s evil. They crave the evil. They do not know how deep the kindness of the Lord will stoop to help, or if they do, they don’t want it to or are too ashamed to ask. Salvation is very embarrassing to their prides.
But salvation is embarrassing to our prides too.
By all means the Christian ministry which will star here is the one that will get these people past these traps.
All this patting of yourself on the back about your “knowledgeability” (often irrelevant) gets rather tiring.
Pictures of people with the disease.
Nothing genital but pass anyway.
Biblically, we know God warns against sex outside of marriage.
Scientifically, we know indiscriminately swapping body fluids is a very unhealthy lifestyle, particularly certain types of sex acts.
We shouldn’t celebrate people having to pay the consequences of such behavior, however it seems to me we should criticize those people and organizations who fail to warn abour, encourage, and reward such behaviors.
.
Then go to bed.

I have a sinned. I Changed my ways. I lucked out — nothing bad happened to me. We can pray.
Why do you keep up this proud babble? You have made it crystal clear that you are.
Jesus did not die on the Cross to give you proud things to say about other people.
Though I must confess to the glory of righteousness, a good snooze might be more edifying than anything else you have to say.
