Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes; Proverbs 6:25 from the Bible; ludicrous words from a much outdated book.
Emotions and feeling, like gravity on Earth are things that cannot be stopped.. How individuals handle their emotions and feelings can be controlled, but not the actual cerebral feeling. The Bible may as well state don't ever get mad and suppress all of your emotions into a void of ancient words.
If your a man flesh and blood, thoughts of lust will embedded itself into the subconscious and burn its feelings into the very core of your existence. If it does not, your some kind of robot or your lobotomized. I do agree that lust should be contained.
A man must learn to rule his tender part Neil Peart wrote in 1993 on Rush's Counterparts CD.
If a single or married man is in a public location and randomly spots a woman that entices his physical desires, he is a sinner and needs to repent or he is a candidate for hell; Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. (Hebrews 13:4)
If a man is married and simply acknowledges a woman other than his wife to be sexy, look out because hell awaits in the words of the disciple Matthew.
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart, If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell, If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you, for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. ( Matthew, 5: 28, 29 30.)
Wow, so which eye made me lust after that gorgeous woman at the gas station this morning? The Bible does not state that both eyes are involved in the lustful vision of a woman. How do I know which eye I should tear out? Regardless of my sinful thoughts as I glanced slyly upon her beauty without creeping her out, I've still purchased that ticket to hell which is a lake of fire that one's eternal soul is engulfed in flames and never ending pain according to the Bible; And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Revelation 20:14)
I've narrowed it down to three ways for a man to react to a woman who arouses his physical passions. She can be taken by force, which incidentally I believe is F-word upped to say the very least, and if a woman is rapped, her rapist should be punished to the full extent of the law, and perhaps be hung upside down in a straight jacket and the females family and close friends each given a Louisville Slugger.
Another and acceptable way for a man to react to a beautiful stranger is to simple talk to her, tell her all his lies, and if she is willing to partake in a one night stand of sin, so be it, or maybe the two fall in love and build a wonderful life together.
The third way to react to a beautiful women is to say nothing at all and wish you were better looking and had more money.
Regardless of how a man's lust is dealt with, it cannot be shut off like a faucet or light switch like the Bible commands. My point; it's OK to believe in the Christian version of religion, but if a Christian husband and wife have a gullible young son, they shouldn't make him believe that he's destined to burn in hell for eternity simply because females ignite his hormones.
