These six people still look at sin like a digital off or on switch. You have eithered sinned or you haven't.
To these six people I ask: When a young man see's a beautiful young woman walk past him, on the scale of "appreciation of her beauty" on one end and "wild lustful, tongue hanging out and hands groping in the same manner as Lenny and Squeaky groping during the opening credits of every Lavern and Shirley episode" there are perhaps a million micro increments in between. At what point is it a sin? If you look at the color white, at what level of grey does white turn into a sin?
Is it really a question of our sin nature and simply trying to do the best we can with Christs blood covering the rest?

Randy,
I’ll share my thoughts on this if you don’t mind. I don’t think that if a young man sees a beautiful woman and appreciates her beauty he has sinned. I don’t think if he has an intimate thought about her that he has sinned. He might even entertain a fantasy about her, and still I don’t think he has sinned. I do believe that the moment he determines to actually pursue her as an object to satisfy his carnal desires, he has sinned in his heart before he has even said hello.
