Hi Treatso, I'm new on this platform and I just saw this your message and I wanted to know how you're doing. So, how have you been? Do you feel better now? Are you growing as a Christian?

Your reference to Matt 15:8 brings to mind the publican, that praised the Lord that he was not like the tax collector, as a good case in point. Psalm 22:3 says that God inhabits the praises of Israel. That is, He's enthroned on their praises.

...of the flesh It's not surprising when you hear about the polls they take among "christian" men where a large percentage admit that they watch porn on the internet on a regular basis Jesus talked about people like this: Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and...

...the aggressive nature, all these things became a part of his teaching methods. If you couldn't get past the cigars, the aggressive nature, the porn stars in the front row, then he knew you could never hear the messages he had from God. This is how he cullled the flock, and it was very...

...as a couple drinks doesn’t make one an alcoholic. There are far worse things ruining our society and damaging our health than pot. Social media, porn, ultra processed foods, seed oils, etc…. Pot in moderation can help in some situations when used for medicinal purposes. Just smoking to get...

We have clear directives in the Bible about sobriety too. No one smokes weed to get sober.

...by that definition then going to church picnic and having a blast is also a sin. Just because something is enjoyable doesn't make it bad. With porn we have clear directives in the bible about. Also by your inferred definition any kind of pleasure become an act of the flesh and ungodly.

Is porn lawful if used in moderation? If whether it's legal or not and if used in moderation become the standards, then we've abandoned the Lord for the world and the flesh.

I am sad to say that I believe you're right about the sinning. Have thought a lot about this and cannot think of any reason why there would be any pushback to a Christian stating that God MUST BE OBEYED. The reply is often given that the problem is the word MUST. They say we obey because we...

Oh wow, I wasn’t aware that they also ignore repentance. How about baptism? Many people on this platform don’t even believe in water immersion either. Odd, since its Scriptural!

...as they do their sin right out in the open (things like smoking weed and cigarettes, using foul language, drinking, sexual perversion, watching porn, supporting godless liberal ideology such as abortion, gay agenda, communism, and the list goes on and one) Pretty sad that some are departing...

That is the only way we are truly set free is in the full power of the Holy Spirit! Amen.

I was a porn addict for decades and the Holy Spirit equipped me with self control and set me free. I no longer even have a desire for it. This victory is all by the Spirit, each believer received the equipping of the Spirit for free when they believe, and need to believe that they have the...

With spiritual life comes a new perspective on sinning such that those saved, being led by the Holy Spirit, usually lose desire to continue in it. Nevertheless, no one is perfect and we all often fall short of perfection but that does not alter one's salvation state, because those saved have...

...a person gets born again as they claim they were born sinners so it's not possible for them to stop sinning which is why they keep watching porn, smokin weed, drinking booze, lusting sexually, etc, etc It's just an excuse to live in sin which is one reason why they so love the false...

...or having a time in their life when they weren't a Christian or weren't practicing the faith. Some are in church every Sunday but struggle with porn and sex addiction. The ideal Christian community would stand with God in that it's not where one has been, but where one now stands in the...

I don't think any other Christian believes that either , do u really think that they do ?

Sorry to come across so short with you in post #7. I've not been feeling well and I come here to get my mind off of that. I see your point about sin after believing on Christ. A person who trusts Christ to save them should show gratitude and obedience rather than sin. The problem is that we...

I'm getting my beliefs from hundreds of passages from Genesis concluding with Revelation. This is a Christian forum, hence Christian Chat, not Mormon, Muslim, 7th Day Adventist, or any other religion. Faith plus No earning of salvation distinguishes Biblical Christianity from all the other...

...have to do is believe and you don't have to do anything after because works shouldn't be added. Faith without works is dead. I really don't believe that if you believed Jesus died on the cross and you started watching porn or started sending people to hell by killing them, you would get to...
