Draw your line...

Since when has age made certain things acceptable? Does age really make an inappropriate movie acceptable? Does age make swearing acceptable? If age does make things like this acceptable, then why isn't there an age to kill? Or an age to steal a money? They're all sins right? Well those are different though!.... Thats exactly it the point... Watching an inappropriate movie and swearing is wrong... No matter how old you are, where you are, who's around, or anything like that... Its a sin! Age doesn't give you a license to do what you want and not have it be a sin. You still need to set standards and find whats morally correct! God wants us to limit what we let ourselves see, watch, and listen to... He wants us to draw a line at whats wrong and stay away from it. If we stay far enough away from it, we wont be tempted. If we hang out near that line though, we are bound to be tempted. Crossing that line and going where we know we shouldn't be... I have heard too many people saying, "your too young for this kind of stuff" to someone a little younger... Does age make things morally right? Of course not... Age is but a number....... I feel like God wanted me to share this... Have a blessed day! Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I totally agree. The only difference I may have than you or others is that I believe everyone's boundaries can be different. It depends not on physical age, but on spiritual maturity. What can you handle, and how will what you see/do affect how you live the rest of your life? Some people can hang around sinners because they know they won't be swayed away from Christ. That's cool. Some cannot. That's cool. It depends where you are with Christ.

I actually agree with that. Some are stronger than others as you mentioned, but this also doesn't mean that certain sins are accepted... God has given some of us as christians the strength to withstand amounts of temptation to reach people that most cant... Thanks for adding on to that though, a great word of truth.
