Lower than Prostitution
This hurts.
God has ordained that we should not "serve
mammon". Many have interpreted "mammon" to mean money, wealth, and the desire of
wealth. This is a fine interpretation. (Websters:
mammon)
God has ordained that we should not fornicate, instead, keeping Holy the marriage bed. Even to "think adulteress thoughts" is the same as adultery.
Now, through the deception of the evil one, comes a new breed of sin... FOX: Condom Tests for Money
Who gets hurt? The new article states that the testers are Students. Further, the article states the "rationale" for the test is "pleasure & sensation". The Bible says in the end-days, the world will be filled with pleasure seekers. Qualities of the job-applicant:
Consider, for a moment, if the test was for bullets. It was to see which bullets hurt the least as they passed through your body. In effect, pleasure. Would the outcome be any different? Would the Student not be a sinner as he shot and likely killed someone? Would there still be unsuspecting partners?
A better goup of candidates, perhaps, could have come from the population known as married couples. The problem for the condom manufacturer & job applicant is that one "criteria" for the job is to state your "objective number of partners"... so you can compare. This clearly drops all God-fearing married couples from inclusion. Further, since some believe that all forms of contraception is sinful, you may even lose much of this group as well.
Please don't be deceived. Live a Holy and Blessed life before God. You are worth it.
