Matthew 5:28 "But I say to you, whoever looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery in his heart." (NIV)
A feminist friend claims that this passage of Scripture is overlooked. However, in my own Fundamentalist experience as a young man, that passage was literally all we talked about as men. Though the Church denies this, Origen seems to have taken this teaching to heart and castrated himself. I remember having to constantly turn my head when a beautiful woman walked by, and having to report my transgressions to my "discipleship partner".
What thinkest thou? As a Christian, I believe the saying has merit, but should be regarded metaphorically, like the parable of the Ten Minas (and many others). I vote Option 1.
