As a Christian I have watched some shows of Sex and the City and to tell you the truth I find it enjoyable but the problem is I feel kind of guilty. It's just a show and what they do in it I don't take personally, Is that ok? Also I read Cosmopolitan magazine and it's the same thing as that. Can someone help me such as a pastor(if you are on here?) Thank you.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Luke 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
the meaning of the word; AV -- mammon (4)
1) mammon, treasure, riches (where it is personified and opposed to God)

All you're going to get is someone's opinion, and even a pastor is as fallible as anyone else. Watch or don't watch (I don't like those things myself.) But why are you basically asking people to lecture you and make you feel guilty? If you're not a 100 percent comfortable with something, shouldn't it be your decision?
My father didn't like watching most sitcoms, because he felt he got to watch enough people act stupid in real life and didn't like seeing actors embarrass themselves. He preferred watching factual things. I'm the same way, and I also think the Internet's more fun and interesting than most TV shows. Neither of us needed to consult a Bible or pastor; only our own values.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - interior the call of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah I see all the favored magazines interior the food market checkstands every time i flow finding out to purchase. that's unavoidable. The busty babes of Cosmo and the girls individuals on all the different magazines take such super satisfaction in exposing their bodies. i don't examine those magazines the two, and that i does not enable them in my abode. I even attempt to flow interior the process the "tabloid-unfastened" checkstand if there is one on the keep i'm vacationing. those magazines are the worst examples of objectification of ladies individuals, some thing the girls individuals who DO examine all those rags will protest. they think of those women individuals have the "freedom" to enjoy nakedness and casual intercourse, yet it is only yet another insidious variety of bondage to adult adult males. women individuals who have self assurance in God and who understand that they are cherished servants of God could in no way hunch to doing such magazines or reading them. And Allah is familiar with ultimate. Fi Aman Allah, Nancy Umm Abdel Hamid

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Phillipians 4:8 - But I still read Cosmo... I just don't take their word as authority on everything... such as trying to get a bf, or whether it is okay to sleep around.

Hmm don't remember seeing Cosmo or Sex in the City mentioned.. haha... However it does say in 1 Peter to guard your eyes and ears. Your eyes and ears are a direct connection to your brain which is connected to your heart. Some of that stuff you don't want taking hold in you. Just ask yourself if He would be reading or watching what you are... if not, it's probably best not to do it yourself.

Ephesians 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality or of any kind of impurity or of greed because these are improper for God's holy people.

The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth.
That is the guilty feeling. If something makes you feel guilty it is usually a good sign that it might not be good for you.
May the Lord richly bless you.

Well Jesus said, in Mt 5:28- 'But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already commited adultery with her in his heart.'
You can't watch/read that stuff without feeling this way (it goes for guys and ladies).

It doesn't. However most people will take any of the sexual immorality verses and apply to those.
