Definition of pornography
1 :the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
2 :material (such as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement
3 :the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction
I am not going to argue this but men are visual creatures. When I see two people moving under a blanket I am thinking it. Jesus said if we think it, we are sinning. That is why I don’t watch GoT.

Yeah unfortunately I do know what porn is and Phart is playing on that both are usually ridiculous circumstances with nudity or some sexual content,but there is a difference as he acts as if there isn't,porn is nothing more than acted out fantasies that aren't even close to being true in reality and revolve around whatever sick or casual thing a person desires explicitly and acting upon it,acting in theatre standing is quite different because it has a plot that isn't pointless and not focused primarily on sexual desires and doesn't outright show nudity typically because the shows are about following a story not following your hormones,any show a person can "find" evil in but it doesn't mean we just have to shut a show down at the first sign of trouble,you discern what is "decent" to watch,pornography is quite different in that whatever you watch of it will be "indecent" every single time.

- Sex is a driving force of this series, and full nudity occurs quite frequently throughout each season, including extended instances of exposed breasts, buttocks, and genitals (both male and female). Viewers can expect to see and hear graphic sex scenes, many of which take place in a brothel, as well as several scenes and situations of incest, rape, and sexual violence (primarily towards females).
We've had persons in church disciplined over concerns of p0rn and other sexual misbehaviors. The churches need to implement church discipline as needed. Note 1 Peter 4:17 by application.
I'll say this and you all can hate if you want: we all progress at differing degrees of sanctification. There are some shows you all watch that I would not put in front of my eyes; Psalm 119:37 &c. Yet we all sin an do some stupid things. The key is ongoing repentance, do we have this grace working in us? Yes or no?
That being said, if there is not a progressive sanctification in the life of a professing believer, they are not saved; Hebrews 12:14.

You know that isn't the point,you are acting as if every even slightly explicit show or movie,has to be kept from or thrown in the garbage,so that means,starwars,Star trek,Alf,the whole lifetime channel,days of our lives,seventh heaven,HBO,WWE programming,Home improvement and so on must be kept from or thrown out,because it's just plain wrong and God doesn't understand that we will seek after this sort of thing that has innuendo or some form of nudity in it,and apparently will condemn us,strange didn't David see bath-sheba bathing and yet God didn't condemn him for that,wrong as it was considering his wives,I am so grateful that our lives and salvation are not in your hands but in the hands of God/Jesus where they belong.

NUDITY. Understand?
You illustrate the problem well. You think your willful sin is covered by Christ. If you persist in it and refuse to repent you will most certainly be lost on the Day of Wrath, not saved as you expect.
If you want to believe that God will always succeed in bringing the believer who is condemning himself by what he is presently willfully doing back to repentance then that is your choice. But you are gambling on something the Bible does not defend.

It's not "defending" it's "knowing one's place" you may go on as some great person that is against this sort of thing,but you seem to delight in condemning others,despite yourself being a sinner as well,so you have ruled out all pornography and nudity c ompletely in your life,that's great,I have ruled out cussing completely in all honesty but you know what it doesn't make me better than anyone else,it doesn't mean I get to go around pointing fingers at people and shaming them,all it means is 1 less sin to worry about out of many that we commit day to day without even perceiving them.
