I was raised to view certain things as inherently suspicious and probably ungodly in some way. Some of these influences were directly taught at home or in school, others were things I picked up from adult facial reactions (or lack of normal reactions) to their presence in our environment:
- drinking alcohol
- attending movies in a commercial cinema (TV was always fine)
- fat people
- people that talked too much
- artists
- Catholics (the message here was basically "yes, other religious teachings are way worse, but these folks actually think they're going to heaven the same say we are. Be careful.")
- playing games with regular cards
- much pop music
- inter-racial romance
- anti-environmentalists
- the rich (or any evidence thereof: overly nice cars, getting your nails done in salon, though somehow a really nice house was just a "wise investment")
My only response to the above list now (decades later) is that it is not possible to be corrupted by such externalities ("Man is not condemned but what he takes in, but by every word that flows out of him.) The reception aspect is not where the sin might occur, rather in the personal response to that stimuli, and of course no stimuli is needed to sin, so worrying about them is a waste of time.
And that is how it was possible for Christ to live a holy and sinless life. He walked all around in the muck of this world but only allowed God the Father to respond for Him. That is the model for our own behavior, and by model I mean current operating procedure for his children.
