That's truly sad. I would think the top issues would go more for gossiping, haughtiness, malice, strife, faithlessness, and heartlessness. The stuff we all get caught up doing.

And, of course Jesus wouldn't do it. He wasn't married.
maybe you are not fully understanding the context of self-gratification and Idolatry. the number one # issue that has brought down men has be sexual sin. Rom 1: 26-32 is very clear :

That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. 29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. 32 They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.



1cor 5:9 NLT

When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.
5:11
I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer[fn] yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don't even eat with such people.

Jesus was not married but he was tempted in all points as man yet without sin.

Actually when he looked at porn, his conclusions were always the same. She's not built right." And by that, he always thought I was built better. (The man has eyes only for me. I'm pretty sure he wears rose colored glasses, but who am I to complain when it always comes back to wanting me?) It always ended with me.

(I can't see his heart, but he's always been good at verbalizing what he's thinking.)

I find your comments strange. porn is not Biblical or godly. the history of it is far more damaging then your opinion. The statement " She not built right" surely is a Christian response to porn.

I really am getting a kick on how many are going on about how it ruins marriages. Especially since they're telling this to someone who has been happily married for 35 years.

So, okay. You all keep waving this flag. As I said, I can't believe this got pulled up again. It doesn't seem to matter. It's everyone has their message to preach and who is asking never really mattered. One-size-fits-all.

I won't bother to let you in on how it turns out. It would ruin the narrative.
facts are funny thing . Porn has many issues and if it was just art it would only be on a wall and hurt nobody.
The damages og porn are well known just as it is with drugs and booze.

Matthew 5:[SUP]27 [/SUP]Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:[SUP]28 [/SUP]But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

2 Peter 2:[SUP]14 [/SUP]Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

2 Corinthians 10:[SUP]4 [/SUP](For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)[SUP]5 [/SUP]Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;[SUP]6 [/SUP]And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.[SUP]7 [/SUP]Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

1 John 2:[SUP]15 [/SUP]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.[SUP]16 [/SUP]For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.[SUP]17 [/SUP]And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Romans 13:[SUP]13 [/SUP]Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.[SUP]14 [/SUP]But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

I do not see how porn can be a part of the walk with the Father & the Son as being in the light. Believers need His help to stop making provision for the flesh to keep their minds on other things that the Lord would help us to think on.

I don't belive you got my point. Porn is one of several money laundering methods. Reading your response was somewhat surprising, to say the least.

In the eyes of this woman, (and my last username on this site was AtWhatCost, so I'm the same person returned), it's not cheating. It doesn't bother me at all if he does it. Never has. And he wasn't sneaking off doing it. I still trust him. And we've been married 36 years.

(And, I can't believe this post showed up again. Yeesh! lol)
This is the whole crux of the matter that you totally miss.

Is porn cheating?

I do not know if you are asking a legitimate question or if you are trying to rational a behavior. If viewing porn is not cheating, does this make it acceptable behavior?

I think that is the implication OldHermit. If Porn is not cheating on your wife and you are just a simple spectator and get absolutely nothing out of it , then why watch it? a little leaven leaveth the whole lump. David could not just watch a women take a bath, Samson , could not just watch the Philistine women, nor could many men of God, and one thinks they can embrace fire and not get burnt. lol

let be clear :) I agree with your statement you made earlier . The "And please nobody want to know your bedroom either so don't go there. Just putting that out" ( this was a general statement)

This was not to you :)

What has "being married" got to do with porn?

The truth is watching porn is cheating,for Jesus said if a man looks on a woman to lust after her,he has committed fornication in his heart,and adultery if he is married,so it is the same as doing the act,for the only person we are supposed to show any kind of feelings,and actions,in that capacity,is our spouse.

Would someone describe what they mean by porn? Are we speaking of a picture of a well built woman or something else? One cannot turn on a TV or drive down town without seeing pictures of attractive women, is that a form of porn? Or are we speaking of some woman in her birthday suit bending over to pick up something that is not there?
