Holiness Is Still Important

I agree.... I think most here would agree - probably everyone. Jesus said 'if your eye offends you, pluck it out'. I don't think anyone minds if someone else throws out their television.

But, generally, as in the original post, it's not just "I am going to throw out my tv". It's "I'm going to throw out my tv and you should, too!" That's when people start objecting.

This whole concept of "zero filth" is somewhat misleading too. I think it's about what is being appealed to. Is it a story with details that aren't too noble, but with a message that is noble? Or is it a program that has no point other than to glorify trashy worldiness? It's a question for my home we ask often.

Reading the Bible is full of stories with lurid and violent details. But the message keeps the intergrity of the story.

I agree with that, too. I take into account the total message of the show/movie.

Yeah, I was responding to NOW's post specifically.
