Hey, Tommy! 
You said once that Jesus came to Earth to be an "example" of how to live a sinless life. Was that His only purpose?
You also said that you kicked your porn addiction on your own, without God's help! What do you think of the verse that says "apart from Me, you can do nothing"?
You also talk a lot about how you pursue righteousness. Does righteousness come from obeying God's law?

I do not necessarily agree with all things that Tommy4christ says..but much of it I do.
He believes in living for God,and does not make grace an excuse to not live a life that shows the fruit of repentance,others here say you can live your life however,and STILL be born again? How?
No one here that i have seen has claimed to kick any habit apart from God, just because one does not excuse things in the name of grace, and hides behind cheap grace..does not mean they say they did anything apart from God. It's called human responsibility,it cannot be made separate from true grace. Any other 'form of grace' is a cheapened lie..its not grace, it runs the risk of being licentiousness or very close to it.

I guess the issue is..here many got selective reading, they will add to what you say..and say since you preach repentance,which is a turning away from..not towards sin..that you are pridefull. I guess many of these sadly only want to quote certain scriptures and avoid what the very thing Jesus said, which was to go and sin no more..and to stop sinning(stop living it,practicing it as a sport till you become proficient at it)
Some want both, they want one foot in the world,and one foot in the faith..it does not work that way. And if some choose to become offended by this, I am not here to make everyone like me, I would like it if they did..but that's not Jesus said would happen. Be encouraged, there are some who do not forsake repentance for this 'other gospel' of false grace. Keep on,and keep up the good work..regardless of what some here advocate, or the accusatory remarks they say.

***HOLY SMOKES***
Part of the reason God made His Word inconclusive (that's a bad word to use but it's good for illustration) is so we WOULD talk and discuss and review and meditate on it like He said to. If God wrote the Bible like Dr Seuss wrote the Cat in the Hat we'd have a whole lot less to interact with each other about. Mining God's Word was meant to be a lifetime endeavor. If we get all the answers the moment we're born there is no reason continually go back to it for learning and growth.
I like trolls/heretics/turd stirrers here because they give us reason to revisit, ponder, meditate, and learn from the Word as much as truth bearers do. The only WRONG posting here are the ones that say 'that's the way it is and I'm not wrong'. Without a willingness to be wrong there is no learning.
Tommy gets some scriptures right. He also gets some wrong. But hey, WE ALL do that. If we didn't these would be silent and empty pages.
Those who would gag those who show human failings are at the hight of arrogance.

i'll pm you the email for the kid who is considering something bad.
after reading how he has to repent for 20 years and purify himself before God will consider him for salvation.
he's not even sure what sin is...but he's convinced he'll never be worthy of Grace now.
you can deal with it. email him Wesley - tell him to pray for a Second Blessing.
something....but do it quick.
i'll go have fun on other threads.
i'm done.

Really? Like you think God would help a guy sin??? You grossly misunderstand that scripture if that is what you think it means. God ALLOWS us to sin, but He does NOT HELP us sin. We have the right to choose and so yes, one can choose porn all on their own (well, the devil has a hand in it to be sure) and God will allow them to reap the consequences of that choice.
