Considering that the Bible teaches that mere lust equates to sex in the context of adultery, maybe we should all just keep our eyes closed 24/7.

“Considering that the Bible teaches that mere lust equates to sex in the context of adultery, maybe we should all just keep our eyes closed 24/7.”

Not really. It says it’s adultery in the heart.

“In the heart” clearly delineates it from being equated to actual sex.

"Considering that the Bible teaches that mere lust equates to sex in the context of adultery, maybe we should all just keep our eyes closed 24/7."

Jesus addresses that as well:

"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." - Matthew 5:29

---

"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." - Matthew 18:9

(Then you won't have to worry about going around with your eyes closed all the time.)      :)

“Custody of the eyes” -— and of the heart-— is definitely called for. Don’t undress women mentally, ogle, view porn, intentionally fantasize about somebody other then your wife.

That would keep you free of adultery, inward or outward.
