Not because they WERE wrong when they were made...

but because 50 years later the culture that we live in is so different that things that offended 50 years ago don't matter anymore...
That is the problem. We are not offended by much of anything anymore. Profanity is an everyday occurence. We have seen such immodest trends in dress during that 50 years that it doesn't bother us if our eyes cross over a woman's upper thigh. We have been dulled to the sin around us. God help us to have our hearts pricked when there is a homosexual present, or any other sinful thing. Not to the bashing of the individual but the realization that sin is still sin and we serve a holy God.

who ever said homosexuality wasn't a sin? There is just a difference between beating someone down for it or just letting them know you disagree and moving on and still loving them...

and it still bothers a lot of people to see a women's thigh in most situations...

I think you are overstating things a bit...

I started to post all of this, but....when the venom is poised at the abolishment of all standards..well I figure it isn't going to register anyway.

Bless your heart for diligence...nice, sound, comprehensive post.

where did I ever say all??

Please, quote me the post where I said "all"...

Until then, it'd be great if you actually read what I said if you intend on replying to it in the future... Thanks }=o) Have a blessed day...
