My friends, I believe the rating you are confusing with R is M. M is explicit sexual content. R can be war violence, scary movies, and the like.
I agree that the Bible does not go into explicit detail. However with a little understanding you can see that the Bible isn’t soft. It’s not cuddly. The argument you make @noah-Cochran is true, but I believe that you must understand that though the Bible isn’t per se R in the sense it doesn’t describe the sexual scenes or other stuff explicitly, it does document the events happening. Now, I am not arguing for understanding for sexual content in books because that is wrong and demonic no matter the way the author puts it. I am saying that documenting is different than description.

For instance, a war movie I am fond of is called We Were Soldiers. It is the story of the first US conflict in Vietnam. It has some of the most grim displays of war I know, yet it is a beautifully painted picture because it points to the fact that war is bad. Indeed it is a warning for future generations.

I like your use of Phillipians 4, however that very passage backs up the fact that should pray about everything, either for help to refrain from it, or wisdom to do it. I believe the argument for prayer over book-writing is undeniable, even by the verses you mention. If the Bible says pray over everything, it doesn’t mean pray over everything in the same way, but still the fact remains that we should pray over everything!

However, perhaps we should change the subject, and go to a topic that we may agree in more.
