A wife writes in to ask this, Pastor John, I and my husband cannot reach an agreement

about a certain thing, so we have decided to ask you.

I can't stand when we watch a movie, and there are scenes with naked women.

I know that he doesn't lust for them, and he doesn't fantasize about them, but it just

bothers me when he sees other women.

So the question is simply this, is my husband obligated to give up movies with sexual or

nude scenes if I don't like it because I'm jealous?

Yes.

But I don't want to start there, even though I just did, because I put the emphasis in the

wrong place by making him do it because she's ticked.

That's not the right motive.

First of all, I would want to know, is your husband a believer?

Sounds like he is, but is he a believer?

Does he want to honor Christ above all?

Does he want his mind and heart to be pure and full of what is true and honorable and

just and pure and lovely and commendable and excellent and worthy of praise?

Philippians 4.8.

Does he believe that sin killed Jesus, that this woman taking off her clothes in order to

make a movie more racy and get a lower rating and a higher attendance, that that sin killed

Jesus.

He's okay with that, okay watching that, okay endorsing that, okay making light of that.

And does he realize that Jesus died to kill sin?
