The whole idea sounds totally Islamic, not Christian, to me.

There is one huge difference. In Islamic cultures, it's usually the woman who is blamed when a man sins sexually.

Christian men are responsible for their own actions. The Bible says that God will never allow a believer to be tempted beyond what he (or she) can handle.

The assignment of blame and responsibility for the sinful thought may be different, but that's not what I'm talking about. The logical extention of your understanding of this topic is for married women to wear asexual clothing in public, as they do in Muslim countries, and as they do not in Christian countries.

If (as I understand your interpretation) merely thinking about adultery is sinful, it would seem a good Christian action for both men and women to avoid things which create adulterous thoughts, no? The less sexually appealing married women appear, the better, since the adulterous thought is then less like to be generated. So.....based on your understanding, wouldn't all good married Christian women wear burkas when outside their home so as to avoid generating adulterous thoughts amongst the male population?

Based on your understanding, how can a good married beautiful Christian woman ever wear a bikini at a public pool when she realizes that is likely to create sin in the minds of many of the (straight) men at the pool?
