Absolutely a deal breaker....porn DESTROYS families. My exhusband was an secret porn addict (or whatever you want to call it)...I do longer have a marriage because of all the horrible things porn can lead to. Some people start at porn and it leads to prostitution, affairs, lying, fatherless children and the list goes on and on. It controls your mind and body and destroys your spirit...only through God can it be overcome.

Honestly porn is just one of a bajillion things that can destroy people. I dont even put it into my top ten, the issue isnt I think porn itself its an addictive personality that is associated with it. Where someone is so fixated into what they are doing they are unable to stop no matter what it is. It could be drugs it could be porn or it could be video games, the fact is that people need to start taking responsibility i dont think labeling it as a disorder is fair enough. Go right to the root of it so that other things dont arise is my best answer.

I find this ridiculous. You sound exactly like my cousin who is a heroin addict. The drug itself is addictive, I don't give a rats rear end how you look at it. It is addictive. All this addictive personality crap, that's exactly what my cousin said when he started experimenting with coke, look it where it lead him, into a deeper mess than he knows how to get out of.

In my opinion, anyone who puts porn off lightly as something that isn't addictive or a serious problem, is either in denial or seriously has not been in a situation where it was involved and has not seen how it can consume someone. Just like anything from smoking, to drugs, to the internet or eating...people can get addicted to these things. But there is a big difference between something like an internet or shopping addiction to porn or drugs. They are not even comparable...for example, you get online every night, if it's consuming your life and your time with God...thenadjustments def. needs to be made, but it's not comparable to porn. Porn or drugs...can not only become addictions, but those are some sinful acts that shouldn't even be an "occasional hobby."

I think both points are valid, pornography is undeniably addictive and many people suffer with the problem, male and female alike, but personality has lot to do with it as well.
Different people are prone to different things, where one person is extremely confident and another is not, one person may have strong will power which helps them avoid these problems, another may lack that stength of will and therefore be more likely to suffer addictions, in a lot of cases the problem is made worse by the persons natural drive to find comfort in repetitve behaviour, that leads to addiction.
I don't think it is always about taking responisbilty, sometimes people who suffer addiction are not shying away from being responsible, they simply struggle to find the stength that comes naturally to others, these people need support more than anything, that's how they will get away from it.

Porn will take you straight to hell!!!
When I was just a youngster around the age of nine it seemed like I had a fairly pure heart. But the devil was working his very best to destroy me.
I happened to have a neighbor next door that was a complete pervert and we would hang out. I think the devil may have used him to start a seed that would take me down.
My brother was oppressed by a demon of perversion and he would bring ponography into the house and I would get into it as well. I remember the first time I looked at it, I quickly closed it because I thought it was disgusting, but it was too late I had already fried my brain.I spent the next 10 years with a low self-esteem and a overwelming porn addiction. I didn't even hardly want to hear about God until 3 1/2 months ago when I turned to Christ to deliver me from it.
I have no block on my cumputer. I know that God is recording every move I make. So I would be afraid to evern dare to look up porn even though I could in a matter of 10 seconds. One thing about lust is no matter how many countless hours you spend, you can never fullfil your desires. I know a couple different people who used to be good Christians and then got into porn. The one guy is an athiest now and I'm not sure what happed to the other but I don't think he lives for the Lord.
I feel blessed the the Lord decided to show mercy on me, even though I didn't deserve it.

Sorry I am mildly annoyed. Real demons are rare and you will know them more often than not. Remember they're all the fallen and there was only a third of the host that fell. I'm not going to go fully into things because I don't have the time but what you faced where the evils of men and a decaying society. Not demons. Evil influences are ever present and as easy as it would be to always blame demons so much of this worlds evil is born of man.
Sorry I think that is just your opinion and no Biblical base
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principaliteis against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12
Of course it is the influence of devils that cause us to sin, that verse even says that its not a fight against ourselves. however the Bible tells us that God will not give us temptation beyond what we can bare. Adam and Eve wouldn't have sinned if it wasn't for satan tempting Eve. We still have a choice just like Eve wether or not we sin.
You see we have to base our thoughts on Scripture not what we think, because the Bible says:
There is a way which seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12
If the devil isn't tempting people then what is he doing, my friend?
dot hack zero you have most assuredly felt the touch of the DEVIL
REPENT before GOD
Sin can be born not only from LUST
how did it "somehow" get through? you willed it through.
even in your answer your words betray you you type "no lusting going on in my end" you are so ashamed you crawl away from
crude words like "head" merely because of your unclean GUILT

your bible-fu is impressive brother. I'll get to all this right after work. I'll say this though, children are born evil. That isn't a direct quote but it's the message that counts. Think that though in context with god giving us the power of choice. As for my old friend the Morning Star the sob is busy ruling the world we've made for him here. Maybe he thinks it's only fitting we share his fate, maybe that's the only justice he has left.

No. You need assurance all the time because you are weak and lack confidence. Man up! You are a soldier of god, you are strong in him. Stop making excuses and make change! How will you ever find a woman if you can't be a man. Eves temptation was a moral lesson for all of us. The first sin is shared because WE both messed up, she was tempted but he didn't stop her, even giving into her vice.
Adam failed as a man and it cost him paradise-why would god trust you with the heart of someone else when you would make that very same mistake?
You need to be able to ... Dude search the spirit you know what you have to do. I got to get back to work. Sorry fit the tough love but man up! Trust in him
