Oh lord....

God made women so lovely for a reason

And I’m in his debt forever

Christ was here for things more transcendent than female beauty...heady as it is

My wife loves and understands men and is a one percenter herself

She never busts my juevos over looking at beautiful women....we talk about it..
Like fashion...

She’s a great wife and very secure...my mommy was like that too God bless her

Jealous women are usually projecting....and messing around themselves or homely or not taking good care of their man and have reason to be possessive

My wife buys SI swimsuit for me...we love that Russian gal linked to the hunk footballer

But folks wish to condemn...go ahead

SI is pretty tame..truly

Do these poster wear bikinis?

Watch R movies?

Have sex for pleasure...say outside of ovulation frame?

Like miniskirts or bustiers?

Oral sex?..

That’s a sin too right?

Drinking alcohol?

I can see bashing porn but calling SI swimsuit porn and the models whores ....sorry....a bit loony

I guess my mom was a whore as Miss Mississippi or my wife a whore as CMT video gal and lingerie model for Saks and others?

And God forbid... she wears a bikini...a tiny one..
Not a thong nowadays but small still......on Emerald Coast or Miami

Self righteousness bugged me as a kid

Now PC posturing is the new self righteousness

Fembots don’t like SI either,... u know

When I was much younger, I treated such things as temptation for lust, but the more I study Scripture and apply it to all things, now when I see a woman, I don’t view her as an object of lust, but as a person God made to match a particular man. It’s an interesting study to observe how some women, are made for particular men, not as anybody’s sex toy. It doesn’t matter what the worldly environment might be as what matters is one’s thinking.

Besides, our Lord invented sex and the woman for man.

By avoiding the cover, one might avoid lust, but it is also possible to control one’s thinking through faith in Christ, even when it is seen.

“What a sick mind. .....Men and women don’t look at and admire people of the opposite sex, whether in person or in film or print media, with the “hope” of becoming that person’s suitor.”

That’s a really bizarre statement. So, hundreds of thousands of celebrity fans *don’t* wish that they could be married to those (attractive) celebrities? That they would not go to great lengths to meet them, with the idea that they might be seen as special enough to care about by the celebrity?

I beg to differ. There are even frequent celebrity stories about who are the “most eligible bachelors”.

“Their admiration of a person of the opposite sex does not indicate a ‘lusting’, as you put it, but just an appreciation of the beauty/handsomeness of someone.”

I thought I was pretty clear that people might wish or fantasize about having a relationship with no problem. In fact, it is necessary for procreation; but that a small minority become obsessive and weird about it. That seems to be a better description of the contrast between attraction and lust.

I’m disappointed that no one has taken me to task for my Lewis Grizzard prayer thanking G-d for the beauty of woman.

I first prayed it in church when a young woman entered the pew in front of mine, in a miniskirt that made sitting problematic & her legs were so long she had to sit sideways. Lewis’ prayer welled up in my heart & I poured forth my thanks.

Yeah that’s what I thought...Let me ask you something... when you stand up in the market square and call things Sexualized Garbage, Im curious how you are displaying the Love of Christ by doing that? When the woman caught in adultery was brought before Christ did he stand up and scream at her and what she did? Or was his response Mercy and Love? Do any of those models, photographers, editors, printers, advertisers etc have a relationship where they want to express a purity in their lives by not producing photos like that? Er... no... So how specifically will standing up and condemning them call them into a relationship of Christ? Christ is not obsessed with Sin. He already paid for it in full.....

"I can well imagine."

Actually that sounds a bit wrong given the context. I didn't mean it like it sounds I meant it. :)

Is this any different than liberals being offended by “In God We Trust” on the courthouse?

Live with it, let your objections be known to the Chinese restaurant, choose not to eat there, etc, etc.

No one cast any stones. Expressing an opinion is just that, an opinion. It is not judgement, because there is no penalty attached.

Plus people always say “don’t cast stones” but they always forget the “Go and sin no more” part
