So what you are saying is that one can commit any heinous crime and dismiss it as not being evil, just because Satan is the evil one. What utter rubbish.
Michael got the answer to his question about the necessity for the crucifixion of Christ. But he has other issues besides that. And your remark above is totally unhelpful and misleading.
There is much evil in this world (even without the influence of Satan). There are evil men doing evil deeds even as we speak. And sin and evil are simply increasing, and will increase, until the Second Coming of Christ.

Hi Michael,
I'd still like to know your answer to my question -- would you be alright with your girlfriend, wife, sister, or mother having her walls covered with pictures of men with barely anything covered?
I understand what you're saying in that it can be tough to find a church to settle into and to find legitimate spiritual guidance -- I've spent a lot of time trying to find a church, and hopefully a mentor, as well.
As you go about your Christian walk, you'll learn other key principles of faith as well (forgive me if you already know this one) -- "Love your neighbor as yourself," -- Matthew 22:39.
God commands us to love and respect others as we would ourselves. I know you said you see these nearly-naked women as just posing for the camera, but another Christian principle throughout the Bible is to live life modestly and not cause one another to sin, nor are we to be putting ourselves on display.
Loving our neighbor as ourselves also entails respect -- each woman in these photographs is someone's sister, daughter, mother, aunt, etc. I'm not sure if you would want to see your male friends with nearly naked pictures of sisters, mother, or other female relatives on their wall and saying they don't have a problem with it? And yes, I know these women (assumedly) choose to pose for these pictures, but that doesn't mean they're making the right decision by doing so.
I once had a college class in public speaking, and one of the guys was exceptionally good-looking and well-known in the community, as he'd been a star athlete as well. One of his speeches talked a little bit about his modeling career. Now, I have no idea what he was modeling -- he was a respectable person and I doubt he was doing anything sleazy. But I know for myself, I would have felt extremely awkward having some commercially printed picture of him on my wall, even fully clothed.
I know this was a bit of an exception (most will never meet the models in the pictures,) and some will say it's different for guys because they are "visual" (I always like to say, "If men are visual, does that mean women are blind?") I've never put pictures of people on my walls (except family and friends,) and to me, this encounter just made me aware that there is a real person behind the photograph, and God wants us to respect them as a person. I also went to high school with a girl who did some local modeling, and hated it because she said all that's cared about is your appearance -- no one even regards that you're an actual person. She eventually became an attorney.
I know someone might choose to pose for these pictures on their own, and therefore choose to bare their bodies in front of the camera, but as stated earlier, just because they aren't making the right decision themselves doesn't mean we have to support it.
Best wishes in your journey and I hope God directs you to the right people to help you along the way.

And Of course we know that there’s never any sinful activity or wrong doing in marriages 😔 are you seriously trying to suggest that any looking with sexual thought in mind or any sexual activity is wrong except between two people who have had a big day a reception and a 🍰 I have 3 siblings all in long term relationships-none of them married none of them perfect. The idea 💡 that you wait until your 👰 night to discover whether you are sexually compatible or not could doom the whole marriage.
Let me just to be clear to you too.Regardless of what financial dynamic there is for their reasons for doing it..it is a sin..and those who view it also sinning...period!
Let me ask you this..Do you want to be right with God or not?Are you willing to make the effort and stop looking at such things in order to be right with God?
I leave the spiritual responsibility with you bro..ther were many thing I used to do as a young Christian which I didnt really think was wrong then as I grew my eyes were opened up to things.

Bring it to the Lord bro.....I had dreadful anger problems for yrs,I hated the way I was,...the Lord worked in and through me and showed me where the source was....went through a lot of healing....in a much better place now,slowly I have learnt to submit to God ,instead of trying to sort it out on my own..He wants us to rely on Him solely.
Don’t beat yourself up over it,talk to God about it,he knows your heart.
That’s my belief,we have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit,remember He is a person.and He LOVES you!.❤️

You did not answer my question you evaded it and went into another subject. My question still stands which is why did you emphasise they are not married, because you emphasized it, not me. Aka what difference does it make to you, that they are not married, and why does it make it okay as opposed to them being married? And why would their husband, if they are married, have more rights than you to look at them? What difference does it make to you, especially since you just added that sexual compatibility is key and "a big reception and a cake" makes no difference? Thanks

Not dismiss it but rather point to the source. There laws governing.
Some things I take literally like Satan a spirt, is a murderer from the beginning . The evil one . He began his serial murdering spree with Abel .He is the spirit behind all evil .
God the author and finisher of good

Hi Michael,
Thank you for taking the time to answer!
I want to clarify -- I have absolutely nothing against modeling/acting as a career as long as it's carried out according to one's Christians beliefs and convictions, which, as I'm sure you know, is very tough to do in that kind of industry.
The high school friend I had mentioned modeled clothes (not underwear or swimwear, just normal, everyday clothes) in local ads you would get in the newspaper. She was fully dressed. But there is a definite choice in which jobs you take on (as in most careers.)
I had an ex who was chosen by a model scout and went for some test photos. I don't know if the (male) test photographer had anything nefarious in mind, but the guy taking the pictures asked my then-boyfriend to strip down a bit and show off his upper body in order to be more "sexy" for the camera. Needless to say, my then-boyfriend left, and modeling did not go any further for him.
I understand that beauty can be a means of a provision, but as Christians, there are still definite guidelines to follow as to how one should utilize their beauty, whether male or female.

I apologise for not answering the question. I also apologise if you perceived what i said as marriage not meaning anything-I believe the opposite but like when buying a car 🚗 you have a test run first before committing to a purchase. If they are not married-I’m not committing adultery in my 💖 If they are then i am-I fully accept that. But I don’t need posters to fall to that sin. I commit adultery in my 💖 every time I turn the tv 📺 on so..

He is trying to justify his sin, or he's a troll trying to start an argument. Either way we don't want him in Singles Forum any more than you want him here.

Then you are a fool and if anything is disgusting is your attitude to the wisdom of God being offered to you.
I had already sensed that you are unwilling to submit to God in this area of your life and although you talk about a struggling christian in this area.You are NOT struggling at all..you are perfectly happy doing what you are doing and are in a deceptive rebellion to whatever advice or Godly counsel offered to you..You are offended by the truth and nothing more.
There's nothing more to be saying to you..
I ask you this question..if you were to die right now are you sure you know where you would be going?
I leave you with that thought
