Did You Enjoy Game of Thrones?
Would you stand at someone’s window and watch them have sex?
Whoa! Pretty shocking question, right?
That probably took you by surprise. Yet it didn’t bother you when you were watching Game of Thrones or anything else with a gratuitous sex scene. Watching that is the same as if you were to pay someone to let you stand at their window and watch them have sex.
Unlike movie violence, simulated with makeup and special effects, sex scenes are real. Those are real people really getting naked and really doing with one another something that should only be shared between a husband and a wife in private.
Would you want to watch your spouse acting out those scenes with someone else? Would you watch your son or daughter? Yet those persons in those scenes are someone’s children. They might even be married and you’re part of their adultery.
You are a participant in what they are doing when you watch it.
Jesus said:
You have heard it said, “You shall not commit adultery. “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:27-28)
You might say, “Hey… it’s just art. I don’t lust when I watch these scenes.”
Well then, you’re a carrot. You’re certainly not a warm-blooded human being. Exactly how much porn would you have to see before you’re disgusted by it?
Don’t watch this garbage.
Jesus said:
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than your whole body be thrown into hell. (Matthew 5:9)
Repent of your sin before Christ and you will be forgiven. Whatever is honorable, whatever is pure – find joy in these things.
…when we understand the text.
Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8)
