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?

I know that statement is out of context, but really - - God wants us to be delighted at the things he's made (not particularly talking about men either) - - so I think it's more about ANYthing that would defile or dishonor God. Looking upon something and delighting isn't doing that.

I agree, if that is what we are doing. So, I am delighted at looking at Russell Crowe? LOL!

I need to repent. I think I was more than delighted.

Do you think when men and women "look with delight" at a member of the opposite sex that the same things are happening in their heads?

No.

BUT, I would have to say at times, yes.

I'm asking you -- the women on the forum.

I think it's quite clear how I'd answer this.

I think we are trying to corral each sex into a box so that we can feel happy we figured out what is going on in the minds of each. I personally don't think it matters how many books we read. Each individual is shaped by their background, i.e., family, friends, church background, books they've read, movies they have seen, school experience, jobs, etc., etc.

Each person is going to become the person they are by what shaped them.

So, in short, I don't know what ALL women think. I know what I think and sometimes I don't think a thing and sometimes I do. Sometimes I do is rare, but it's still there, just to be honest.
