How’s it going Taylor? 🙂

Yes, I have read the whole old testament, and some of it twice or thrice.

So when I say R rating explicitness, I mean stuff like sexual intercourse scenes that are either shown on screen or very much described in writing, nakedness in movies (which in a book would be someone meticulously describing the nudity of a person, which the bible most definitely does not do), and explicit language like the F word (which to even infer the bible does makes me sick–not that either of you were inferring that). Seeing or reading extreme violence that an R rated movie would have is a point that could be argued on whether it is bad or not, but suffice it to say, the bible says to dwell on things that are pure and of good report (Philippians 4), and I don’t think immersing oneself in extreme violence is a good idea (but again, violence is a small deal compared to everything else).

Anyway, nothing is explicitly described like you would see in an R rated movie, it’s not even close. R rated movies and books have explicit sexual scenes and plentiful use of sexual language. The bible has neither. The most darkly described scenes I can think of in the bible are violence and sexual sin in Judges (which is not meticulously described whatsoever), and rape or abuse in Genesis or 2 Samuel (which is also not described much at all, and nothing near what a R rated film would do). There’s Jesus being crucified, but that isn’t meticulously described like seeing it on film would be (and that’s just violence for the most part, not sexual stuff or language). If there is some verse that contains some explicitness I’m missing, please let me know.

Hell  is scary. Hell is R.

Please inform to why Hell is R rated? R rated does not mean scary or wicked, it means that one is imbuing themselves with explicit violence, sexual language, or sexual content.

The actualities of hell and the bible has to say about it should be taught to young and old (and by young I mean younger than a teenager).
