The age of consent: Why Pennsylvania should raise it to 18

Many adults support a lower age of consent, as a youth rights stance. There is a fine line between youth rights support for lowering the age of consent and pro-contact pedophile activism. I myself am a pedophile, but the anti-contact, VirPed type. Just a special little snowflake being a pedophile, but I know it is a self-interest that could lead to adult sexual entitlement if not kept in check. This platform is situated in Pennsylvania, and thus I support a Pennsylvania age of consent of 18. The current age of consent is 16, and that needs to change. 

A 16-year-old can possibly support a relationship with a non-entitled, children's rights adult that is of a sexual nature, but society puts a meaning on sexual relations between others. Sexual relations are a marriage, of sorts, meaning they are the contract that binds a marriage between a man and a woman. Those are the Judeo-Christian values that this country was founded on, and those values will withstand all leftist scrutiny until the end of time, and will never cease to guide our great nation.

One reason preventing adult sexual relations with children today is entitlement, meaning adults want things from children, and they impose those wants on children. That is the definition of deadly entitlement, and entitlement affects one's sexual expression as an adult. With the average man, a 16-year-old girl could break a bone, perhaps a rib in her chest. Usually, adult sexual relations with children comes out in a punitive, correcting manner.

However, some of us are not entitled fully in relation to children. I am not sexually threatened by a 16-year-old girl, but simply reverently afraid of the mechanics - it would be all too sudden for me if I did it with a child, to the point where I would just be shocked and affronted by such a proposal from an older teenager. A 16-year-old girl likely would come on stronger to me than I would to them, due to my lack of entitlement towards children as a pedophile. I might well be the victim in that case, judging solely by harm, but I would be at fault under God's Law because I am the adult in that situation, and the Bible teaches that all sexual relations with children by adults are sinful and unlawful.

It says in 1 Corinthians 6:18 KJV:

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

The Greek root word translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and refers to, at the core of its definition, the slightest of sexual contact perceived by the child, coming from adult sexual entitlement. The Greek root word translated "lust" in the New Testament is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers to desire for sex with children to the point of taking the first steps to approach a child sexually, with fornication being when such entitlement is perceived by the child.

"Fornication" is the word enumeration of all of the sex crime statutes under the Law of Moses, which basically prohibits all sex outside of marriage, with sex being the marriage contract itself, signed on the dotted line. A child may be able to withstand sex from someone who is older, but can they serve their spouse in a marriage? A 16-year-old is not ready for marriage, and that is why, under biblical law, nobody under the age of majority in a given state can marry. That Christian standard is implied in the Greek root word πορνεία.

The Bible, in short, prohibits all sex with anyone under the age of majority, meaning any sexual contact perceived by the child, including even any coarse jesting or overtures perceived as offensive by the child or others. All adults were seen in biblical times as caregivers of children, including extended family when parents weren't around. Children were allowed to masturbate and indulge in sexual fantasy, but were kept away from sexual relations even with same-age peers. 

Marriage in biblical times was between same-age peers or else a younger man to an older woman. When an older man married a younger woman, it was a shame on his part, and on the part of her father. NEVER were children under the age of majority married off for any reason. Only young men and women above the age of majority were married off.

Sexual purity is now a controversial issue. It wasn't in the old days, when we stuck to our values as a nation. This is America, and we are a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values. Those values include sexual purity. A child should stay a virgin until he or she is married, and when that healthy balance is upset, blame the boy's parents first, or in the case of child sexual abuse, ALWAYS blame the adult or adult-figure.

Let the depraved and decadent, defiled adult fornicators of children who sexually harass, assault, and rape children BURN in everlasting Hell-fire and torrents! Repent!
