This is where I am not sure of which end of the spectrum we are looking at.

One, we have the bible that is very firm about what God wants from us. Our example in this thread is referring to Job 31:1.

Adam Clarke said this: I am therefore bound not to look upon any thing with a delighted or covetous eye, by which my conscience may be defiled, or my God dishonored.

Are we allowing society to shape us in some ways that we think we are too rigid and we need to loosen up a little? Society and the Bible look at things from totally opposite viewpoints, IMO.

Any thoughts?
Society has desensitized people.

I am unclear on what you are asking.

I agree.

Problem is the Bible "seems" silent on this, and most households are silent on this. Chances are the things we think may be "over the top" for our little junior, are actually right in the middle of his "playing field."

And... the Bible has given us MUCH in the way of principle, and even recourse ("Flee fornication, run from it," example from Job, etc). In the end, we must not just choose our own lines, but be obedient to the Spirit with the boundaries it points us to.
