[CHRISTIAN DIARIST]

SI's swimsuit cover models Nina Agdal,Lily Aldridge and Chrissy Teigen appeared together at an event last week, fully dressed and absolutely stunning. They needn't take their clothes off to be super models.

NO

[raybbr]

You actually put the picture on the blog page? What would Jesus say about your hypocrisy?

[deadrock]

We don’t want the puritans getting hot n bothered. Bee keeper outfits please.

[Fido969]

SI lets subscribers opt-out for the swimsuit issue if they think it is offensive.

[heylady]

It was never about the swimsuits. Years ago I would look at it to see what new styles of swimwear there were. I soon realized the “swimwear” was basically a couple of inches of fabric that no one would actually wear.

Matthew 5:28 seems to answer that question.

[max americana]

Yes. They’re hot and i would rather look at those 3 than another vomit-worthy picture of the obamas.

[GeronL]

no.

It’s porn

[Mr. K]

Don’t you need to have a swimsuit on in order to qualify as a swimsuit issue?

[Popman]

Though, I agree with this article in principle, considering the amount of actual pornography watched by Christian men and within the Christian community... this is a mountain out of a molehill...

[TBP]

Typical politically correct liberals.

[null and void]

“the magazine’s swimsuit issue is nothing more than softcore pornography.”

Yes, and?

[SumProVita]

That was a rhetorical question...right?

[mulligan]

What a stupid and idiotic question. Only imbeciles could or would come up with that.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I don't speak for Jesus, but I think He would not approve.

Just out of curiosity, why did you include the cover pic on the blog?

[rabidralph]

That’s why the men among us who are committed Christ followers will bring every lustful thought into captivity to the obedience of God.

Men of God have probably figured this out for themselves already.

[Lake Living]

The self life is just too tempting and that’s why most people choose it. “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart”, comes not from the Christian Diarist. Those are the words of Christ - you know - the Son of God. The Christian Diarist did say, “That’s why the men among us who are committed Christ followers will bring every lustful thought into captivity to the obedience of God (actually just quoting II Cor. 10:5). This article is to committed followers of Christ. It’s not for anybody else. I think what some here might be missing is that true Christians think that there is nothing, nothing better than Jesus! They are radically in love with him and these little sacrifices to obey him his words are things done to show him our love. SI, professional sports, fast cars, rock music - nothing comes close to how great He is. True believers are ready to lay down their lives for him in complete surrender. Yes, it often takes time and certainly his empowerment, but it does happen. The Bible calls it “growth”. I think the only thing to be added is that once you truly experience his love and know his forgiveness you might understand the perspective from which the Diarist writes. He’s not trying to get people to do what they don’t what to do. He’s just trying to help believers do it better and not be compromised. If you don’t share that same perspective - then please, this article is not for you. God’s redemptive plan is available to all, but God is not naïve or some romanticist, he knows most will not be interested.

I don’t know, you didn’t show us the picture. I want to see the picture before passing judgement!!!!

[SECURE AMERICA]

Would Jesus even think about a magazine? For what reason?
Did not Jesus focus on people?
