Porn

[secularhermit]

I don't think that porn is healthy for any relationship, the fact that a guy gets off on porn behind his girlfriends back is already a sin. Then next sin is, he then lies about it, also cover up what he has done wrong... What the guys don't understand is "how they break us into pieces" and then you end up with worse problems than this. I know what I'm talking about...Im currently in similar situation with my guy!

As sinful as it is, porn leads men to selfishness, centerness and visceral egolatry. The moment they get married, tend to think about their needs (seeking their pleasure, instead of their wives FIRST) So, in the long run, it ruins mariaage, leaving their wives unsatisfied, leaving them as a toy in a bed, used shortly as for a relief (this is one who knew it the hard way).

PS

Porn has the same effect on ladies, particularly if they have left the holiness GOD gave them as a virgin.

When God comes in filth must move out,He kicks it out even if its a tough battle...
God's Grace is so powerful that all kinds of filth looses grip on one's heart and mind...

satan must leave,and its all possible when we Pray more..
Thanks for sharing your view..

Recently I was led to a prayer i don´t remember having prayed. I was told and asked by someone I was engaged and her frined direct me so i asked GOD to sent me free from those carnal bonds I had with several women before... He used some simple words helping me to name her names. I was confessing my sins and asking GOD to forgive them, also. I asked HIm for forgive both guilty parts and also to set ALL free...

He was using some psichologic ideas I linked to metaphysics or things he has seen as light (I wasn´t confortable at that, so i saw nothing) but, when no paying attention to those datails or "lights" he has mentioned before, by the end of that short and new moment prayer (there was a man and that person I was engaged, as "witnesses") inside my close eyes I saw a light shining and, to my surprise, I saw a little cross shinning, and it was the size of my hand (and I´m used to see nothing of "light" when I pray).

I´m just telling this that, if some prayers are needed, just do it. I don´t believe in a rare thing -as light- has to be shining, but it is the 1st time I see something like this and, I don´t know if it has something my mind felt as relief or new, I just felt a rare peace I never felt before, concerning this (So I have to this similar exercise, because I sinned and chose wrong the person I will not marry).

 

[secularhermit]

Let´s say "we" may indulge in some hypocritical actitude or indiference toward any sin, but we don´t know who is who in our privacy (GOD knows EVERYTHING we do and think in the secrecy).

Several facts are we are backsliding and are unwilling to repent, though that confession and CONVERTION is nominal and we´re hypocritical if we are not following Jesus and the Spirit of GOD correction our failures.

Recently I knew more about me and humanity. I can denounce my sins, I can spit on my faults and shortcomings, but I have not the same right to blame others: That´s not of my busines.

 

[secularhermit]

Hmm! That article of a brain shrinkings says this: "Sexual disorder?
With the rise of the Internet, people can now anonymously access pornography at all hours of the day with just the click of a mouse."

Anonymously? That´s a lie!

The records are kept, not only on those sites any dared to visit, it is also kept on those companies´servers and the "cookies" lust gives our mind and unrepented souls: It is a drug!

 

[Sjwho2]

Wow!
Someone said: "3. Porn is "normal". Like it or not, the majority of people(yes even christians) watch porn. That defines it as normal within society."
"Normality" is sickness and vices from the world GOD helped us to scape.
I´m thankful I can run now from it.

I don't think Porn ranks that high on the list. It's less destructive than alcohol, war, starvation, rape, or any of the other serious issues in the world.

Porn is about as harmful as bad-tv by comparison to real issues.

Anonymously? That´s a lie!

If it does not require a login with an email address or any real-world info, it is counted as anonymous. And for practicality sake, saying that a site "tracks everyone" is kind of a silly thing.

Web site owners don't go through the IP address of every visitor, it simply isn't worth the hassle.

Sustaining Peace comes from God only.Tested and Verified by many Saints of God in Past.
So no need to doubt when we are lead to more and more Peace...
satan cannot do that..

you're almost right,but they have record,which they can use for tracking...
The whole issue is not about whether we still secretly do it,..
The issue is Jesus is seeing us,and only thing matters for Him is are we ready to change no matter what the sin,
then only His Grace works,..and we see the wonder working God in Action who changes our miseries into a Shining Life Style that is Healthy and Holy..

Porn is as destructive as drugs are. Also, in this thread people discuss the danger of porn, not of war. And since porn is perceived as harmless, or even encouraged as normal I would say that it is even more dangerous than war, because its evilness is more subtle and the long-term effects are more devastating.

You think that way, but I have repaired several PCs for that reason you think unimportant and silly. The "cookies" their servers gives and the information many ISP have are not that silly, particularly, for the technical reason any can read elsewhere: Intrusion prevention system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don´t need an email account to sin and to risk my PC firewalls, particularly when the most of the latinamerican people I know are unwilling to pay the bill a good antivirus worths yearly.

So does every site. So does this site.
Besides it's not the porn websites you should be worried about, it's your ISP. The reason Anonymity is important is because accounts are the #1 way to hack into aother accounts.

No it is not. Porn does not come close to the destruction drugs can cause. I'm sorry but either you are incredibly naive or do not understand the impact drugs have on our world versus porn.

You....you think it's more dangerous than war? Ok that's it. NO. Not responding to this blatant troll any more.

You do know that this site could use your account to get into your email and "hack" you right? 9/10 times that is the easiest way to hack an account is because people use the same username and password for everything. and their emails is already listed.

my dear,there is no anonymity...
The latest web standards are being made to make tracking much easier and filter things much easier not for the end user but the one who operates sites and ultimately in mortal realm,there are people who monitor things world wide in www,like a global moderator..you have no idea how sensitive and serious things are....
i have to sing the song by cold play(xylo mylo) reminding about the world watching you and me on what we do...

But its not the real prob..no one cares about the followers of the toothless dog satan...

The real prob is, not hiding from getting caught watching porn sites,but to Face the Lion of Judah when times comes to stand in front of Him during White Throne Judgement,because sodom and gomorrah might rise up to judge this wicked generation including people who should have been honest to God as Christians so that He could wash them clean...

Its not people and a bunch of half cracked insane demon possessed corporate people you should be worried about,but be worried about falling into the Hands of the Living God for Judgement..
i must say "TREMBLE" if you hide from Him facts and weaknesses you have,Because He has been eager to hear your troubles to help you out and you didn't pay attention...

All, the Bible tells us about lust and adultery. Jesus said that even to look at a woman with lust is Adultery. And lust is a DEADLY SIN. Come on, man. I have been there, my soul was torn apart. (and still is to a point, but getting better) Porn was my god. MY GOD... The bible said that anything thing that comes before God is an idol. That idol could be something simple as a cup of coffee, if that is where an addiction leads. Satan is deceiving, and he will subtly devour you. So far I find three sins directly related to porn.
Moreover, church people are growing in numbers with porn addiction. Satan does not hang out at bars or brothels, because he already has these people. There is a spiritual war going on, and don't think that Satan is not attacking the church, because he is. He does not need to cater to non-believers, he wants revenge on God, so he is trying to take His people away. There are many churches being built today that will not put a cross on or in the church in fear of offending people. Are you kidding me? So you don't think porn is bad, or an addiction, then I don't know what to tell you...except my story.

One last thing. If anyone thinks that kicking an addiction gets easier with God, it doesn't. The closer you get to God, the more Satan will attack you, and the more Satan tries to trick you will old comfortable habits. Keep up the good fight.

Yeah yeah, I get it, porn is sin and God's watching. Not that I was saying anything different, I was just explaining to you how the internet works because you seemed to not grasp the concept of it.

Just to re-explain: Anonymity means when you do not require an account and a site will not request personal info from you.

The sites track your ip sure(every site has to anyway, since that's how the internet works), but 99.99999% of all sites will not bother tracking anon-traffic on a personal basis because with thousands of sites and generally only 1-2 site owners, it's too much of a hassle.

One last thing. If anyone thinks that kicking an addiction gets easier with God, it doesn't. The closer you get to God, the more Satan will attack you, and the more Satan tries to trick you will old comfortable habits. Keep up the good fight.

This is entirely untrue. I'm sorry but AA, rehab, pretty much any church will tell you that God will help you with the burden.

God's helps with the burden,but there is pain in getting rid of habitual sins,that is tough and no church member helps there...only Jesus is there then.
And yeah,i agree that most sites don't bother tracking...so in the physical world thief can still remain hidden,..but in God's scanning everything's clear...
So in total we are cheating ourselves even if we are hidden in society..

 

[BlueYetti]

This is entirely untrue. I'm sorry but AA, rehab, pretty much any church will tell you that God will help you with the burden.

I agree with you...God does help you with your burden, but you have to ask for that help. Look at Job. He was the closest mortal to God at that time (or maybe ever) and Satan rocked his world. If I was in Job's position would my faith be as strong as not to blame God? I would hope so, but I could not guarantee it.

Another point is that as human beings, we have fleshly desires, which I know that is on us and not really of Satan. However, Satan will use this against us and draw us away from God through deception. Paul knew this because every time he wanted to do good, he was equally pressed to do the opposite. The stronger the want to do good, the stronger the flesh wanted to repeal.

I will also agree that 12-step programs and rehab are important to our society and may lead many to the ultimate one loving God, but it is not what they teach. They leave spirituality open to interpretation as of a "god of your understanding". Back when I was in AA the first thing members were telling me was that if I believed my god was a doorknob, then go with it as long as it keeps you sober. In my own opinion it is just another form of deception, because even the Big Book of AA chastises Christian recovery (or religious) groups of that day.

As for me; I am a weary soul trying to live a Christian lifestyle and know that I have an inner hypocrite inside me that is screaming to get out. And as embarrassing it is to admit, I always start out another path strong, and then before I know it I will realized that I have gone weeks without prayer and feeling empty once again. The good news is that with each attack that leads me astray only strengthens my belief in the spirit and strengthens my love and understanding of God. And I have to say the stronger my faith in Christ grows the more I get attacked.

Not really? I don't think people ever make the assumption that because they are anonymous that they can escape god. To think people for the majority believe that would be utter foolishness.

I agree with you...God does help you with your burden, but you have to ask for that help. Look at Job. He was the closest mortal to God at that time (or maybe ever) and Satan rocked his world. If I was in Job's position would my faith be as strong as not to blame God? I would hope so, but I could not guarantee it.

But Job would be right to blame god for his circumstances....given that god was involved and was making a bet with satan, and allowed Satan to do these things to his most loyal subject.

The real shocker here is god lets satan kill people, which I would think would be outside of Satan's realm, but according to Job Satan can kill whoever he wants.

A little off topic but this is so spot on. When will we realize the "everything is permissible and normal and natural" society (and church) is God giving our societies over to perverted desires.

On topic, the testimonies of those who have been freed from addiction to porn is so brave and a beautiful light to this dark world. Looking at you, minouche and yetti!

I find it funny porn is viewed in such a negative light and gets so much attention among the Christian community.

If more attention was paid to lets say: Drugs, Alchohol, war, starvation, homeless, etc. and porn was the last thing, sure. But as such it's about as trivial as "cuss words".

I'm glad that, for clarity, you distinguish yourself as being separate from the Christian community.

Porn, unlike drugs and alcohol, is dangerous not only for the consumer but also for those involved in this satanic industry. If your mother, sister, daughter were doing porn I don't think that you would find it "as trivial as cuss words".
