Many Christians believe that lust is just as sinful as actually doing the deed. It’s based on one saying of Jesus where he says if you look upon another woman with lust, you have already committed adultery in your heart.
This interpretation is foundational to a lot of Christian sexual thought and explains why they have failed to have a healthy relationship with sex.
I’m developing a game that’s in this genre in between Total War and this (from my childhood memory) and Conquest of Elysium. This review inspired me to play it again.
I have a Behringer UMC202HC and I use with microphone and electric guitar. It can accept quarter inch (edit: and XLR) inputs and outputs. I use a quarter inch to eighth inch adapter for my headphones, I assume you can get an adapter for yours as well.
The interface allows for active monitoring of both channels (sending audio to headphones) and you can pipe computer audio in as well. Whatever DAW you’re using can also help with setting that up.
I use an MXL 990 condenser mic which has lasted for years and has good quality.
Definitely feels like DeSantis just wants an army of henchmen, even if it’s only for the threat of it.
I think one of the main issues with the interpretation is the meaning of lust.
Is it attraction? Is it masturbation with a woman in mind? Is it flirting?
In the time these things were written, women were widely viewed as property and desire was not a huge part of marriage. Who knows what specific sort of cultural thing he might have been referring to?
Personally I think lust is the debasement of a person for your own enjoyment. People consensually engaging in sexual exhibition and other feelings of attraction or sexual fantasy are probably not what Jesus had in mind and aren’t really harmful to healthy adults.
