I'm not about to argue this with anyone. It's basic decency not to aid in corrupting children minds! I dont think you even have to be a believer to get that much.

You would think Cain wouldn’t have needed to kill his brother friend! It’s the heart that needs healing, to be moved from Darkness to light.
Garbage in, garbage out.
The evil powers would rob the innocence from our children, harming them for the rest of their lives. That's what sex and violence and such content does to children.
When a parent allows their children to watch things like this, things not good for them, and this affects how the child grows up, and choices they make, and sins they commit, what of that parent? Is it millstone time?
For me it's an extremely serious matter to take away a child's innocence, exposing them to things they are not mentally or emotionally equiped to handle. And for so much of this content I think it's wrong for anyone and everyone. God tells us the kind of stuff to put into our minds. We should heed that.
Much love!
Jesus said it's better to be thrown into the sea tied to a millstone then to cause children to sin. It's a very serious matter!
Much love!
Children sin though, lol. Why do many people have a problem with when God sent bears to maul some children in the Bible @marks. I was a sinful child, though I heard about God and the devil early in life though no constant church presence just in and out of churches a lot.
A child gets mad if they play with your watch and you tell them not to any more and they throw a fit, or at the store a three year throws a tantrums, or a teenager going to find something to steal, even children do this. It’s all from the flesh, me and myself and I.
I guess I’m glad sin has been paid for, but justice when crimes are done can be met, by Yahwehs verdict for sure. Trust always rejoices in justice being served rather than injustices.

And this where the whole process of learning comes in. And this where the whole process of experience comes in. And if the fear of the LORD comes there is the beginning of wisdom.
“Making a child to go a sin,” is for a person to take a ”believer”and make them into a non believer, (taking them away from light into darkness); they go from being a child of God, into being faithless, and giving up the adoption they once had given the spirit due to belief.

Matthew 18:6-7 KJV
6) But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7) Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
I take this seriously, and I believe in the vital importance of protecting our children. "Offend" is from skandalizō, to trip, entrap, entice to sin. It's the meaning, to trip that I'm looking at here. Stumble a child into an enticement to sin. And anyone who does that, if they knew what was good for them, they follow Jesus' instructions, and drown themself in the sea.
That's how serious this is.
Much love!
Explained in post #26. You don’t have to quote them scripts at me I know them very well like they say the devil knows them like the back of his hand. @marks.
I agree with you about protecting children. And not letting them get molested! Never leave children with strangers and never leave them with someone you do not believe will be good to them.
I wish many people cared for their children but not everyone does, @marks. So therefore if you come across them, always remind them to look to God and to always call the law if they need them, and to never go with strangers.
By the time they are teenagers you can’t do very much, expect be supportive and direct them to good things.

I don't know what the devil does or doesn't know, but I know that the Bible can only be understood by the Holy Spirit, so that seems to leave the devil out of the loop.
Molesting is one thing, but showing children violence and porn and that kind of thing is a molestation of their mind.
Are you saying here that children watching movies mixing sex and violence and evil creatures and all that stuff is good for them to help them grow?
I hope not!
Much love!

Matt, What does that have to do with anything? No one is saying kids dont sin. We are not supposed to cause them to, or lead them into sin. Nor would we tempt them to sin. Seriously? I can't believe I even have to say that.
Children find out what sex is from walking in the bedroom. Of their mom and new stepdad, in their bedroom, of the basement. Mom and dad have fights every night before Johnny goes on to bed hearing shouting from Dad and moms cries from being hit.
Hey man, we don’t live in a perfect world, gotta not be a Hippocrite.
Exactly, all of us set an example for the children but the ultimate example is Christ and his ways of walking in life by the spirit. I’m just sharing, and making it know and not trying to shove anything under the rugs. Cause people do that, and you don’t know how many people that are on here possibly who have done these things…
Have I given bad ideas for people to do? Even if it’s an adult? It’s the same consequences.
Do you think this is OK? Or should parents be doing something better for their progeny? I believe parents have the responsibility to provide nurture in every sense that could be understood to their children.
Children growing up witnessing sex acts, violence, daily acts of abuse, these are the causes of complex post traumatic stress disorder, which is to say they do not physically develop the way they are supposed to, causes major and heavily detrimental changes in the brain. These are serious disorders with life-long consequences.
If this is how you've grown up, with abuse throughout childhood, or even parts, to yourself, or those around you, you may benefit from learning about this. I did, on both counts.
Much love!
Sin = unfaithfulness by the way. God made sex. I don’t believe sex with children, is correct. It’s a grown woman and a male. But God created sex and there is nothing wrong with as long as it was done by the way God intended, otherwise there is consequences, @marks. That just the simple way to put it. I’m gonna disregard your other comment. You have a good one and I’m glad I got to talk about it with you.

Nobody said there is anything wrong with sex. ---BUT NOT WITH KIDS IN THE ROOM!---
I don’t have to think it’s okay Marks.
It’s part of a persons life.
People are molded by their experiences of life.
People change their mind through life and their directions and sometimes it’s God that gets them to go his direction by the spirit.

It’s not that I grew up around this. It’s just part of life. I do not know why people have to believe they don’t live in a society where stuff like this doesn’t happen. Maybe it’s fear they don’t think about it, maybe it’s just they worry about their own self…
The world does what it does and look at the evidence.
“When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:19-21 NLT
This inherit nature is within us all.
This topic concerning the effects of the media, then you should really get rid of your tv, you should get rid of your computer, you should get rid of your phone.
Your still gonna have to deal with your inner thought and heart and the only hope I could have that it’s a heart of peace looking to God, and not a hateful heart looking to put hurt upon others.
Of course I know it happens, doesn't everyone? Only, it's evil, not a part of what life is supposed to be. Anyway, Jesus said it best, ropes and millstones and some assembly required. Just because this evil has become prevalent does not change Jesus' warning.
Much love!

Yes, it's a part of life. I suppose the question is- because I dont know if I misunderstand you or not-
Just because sin is in the world and all over the Tv screen- does that mean we should allow kids to watch that wickedness on TV?
If that's what you're actually saying then, I absolutely disagree with you.
