Good question. Do women find this interesting? Do they tell themselves its just fantasy that they would never get involved in anything like that? Are they solid in their love for their husbands, so that any thought of adultery is unthinkable??
A dear friend, now passed away, had told me that if you are strong in your faith, that you will resist any notion of imitating bad behaviors you see in entertainment media. So that, he was saying, people can watch and enjoy soap operas and not want to emulate the affairs frequently found in such programs. He said people can watch movies with immoral behavior and not go out and participate in such behaviors.
So is that it? If your faith is strong enough then you can resist any immoral illegal or dangerous behavior you see in movies or TV or literature? And you will know its all fiction and not meant to be emulated in real life???
Matthew 5:27-28 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Sin is conceived in the heart before it is born in the actions.
If you are willing to entertain it and even mentally engage in it, it WILL reflect in your life somehow and God is NOT pleased with it.
I think it’s a lie from the enemy to encourage people to engage in things they shouldn’t by telling them they are strong enough.
It chips away at their defenses though and IMO, will be acted on at some point.
And how can someone who is godly enjoy watching other people sin?
Even the Bible depicts bad things like adultery. If you are serious about avoiding anything that contains depictions of immoral behavior, you’d have to toss out your Bible. Then go live in a cave. But then, our own minds are full of sin and you can’t escape yourself.
I don’t have a problem with porn really. It has always been. But these books were apparently horribly shoddily written, so I would hate them for
That alone but they are also
Supposed To be about S&M which is about the least interesting kind of sex to me. Not into it.
The whole Fifty Shades phenomenon glorifies the abuse of women. I don’t know why ANYBODY would want to watch it.
Good point,personally I feel it’s a sin to watch or read it.I am a female.We always skip bad parts in movies and throw out books we see laying around that are dirty when on vacation.That being said.I might be asked questions about something in a movie.In that case I would get the feel for it in general and not be affected by it so I can debate .
