"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it". Proverbs 22:6
I was brought up reading books and not in my entire life did my mother allowed me to read erotic novels and sure I'm thankful. I'm not versed in saying my opinion but let me try. This is one of the most talk about on facebook, even my friends are attesting that it's a good read. And so I became curious myself and urged to check the internet for reviews, at first I thought it's drama and then by reading wiki, found out that it's erotic novel, I read the whole plot and I felt pity for our society. 50 Shades of Grey is tagged as best seller? I wonder. It's porn, it's trash and so degrading. Many are deceived and tempted, hey! it's no different than a porn movie. Most of the time we try to go with the trend but oftentimes it leads us to a trap. The Devil is working overtime, disseminating lies about sex and relationships. So it's very important that we know the Word of God by heart, let us not be deceived.
One Saturday I was in Glorietta again for my checkup and we ate at a fast food chain, just beside me is a family, a typical one. They were laughing and exchanging gifts, I can't help but stare then the daughter readily opened her present, Voila! 50 Shades of Grey, and she was astonished as if it's a big surprise and she can't help but thank everyone for the gift, they were all glad and continued their chitchat. I felt compassion for the family.
This is what readers and fans say: I have the right to do anything, I am responsible for my actions.
Peter said: Sure(I said) Everything is permissible
Here's the Catch...
but not everything is beneficial 1Corinthians 10:23
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.1Cor6:9
I am against this book because...
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. James 1:14
If you let trash into your system then you will be polluted.
Sex Is Not the Problem (Lust Is): Sexual Purity in a Lust-Saturated World
This is a book by Joshua Harris, Why not read this instead? It's always good to be finicky and extra careful...
I suddenly remember when I was applying for a job in Singapore way back, out of the blue the boss and her wife ask me, If you are a lawyer what would you advise couples who have been together for years and are no longer in good terms and are not happy? I immediately said, "I guess first they should settle the issue but if it's not resolved, perhaps they can part ways, both deserves to be happy, right?" my answer may look appealing to the world but to think, it's actually foolishness. The boss surprisingly is a Christian and he knew I am also a believer of Jesus Christ and he responded, "your answers should always be based on the Word of God, the bible didn't say that happiness is the basis of marriage. Even so, I got the job and the rest is history.
All I want to say is, What feels right is not always right. Okidokies. Much ♥
