Yes of Course
Pornography is rampant in the world today. Perhaps more than anything else, Satan has succeeded in twisting and perverting sex. He has taken what is good and right (loving sex between a husband and wife) and replaced it with lust, pornography, adultery, rape, and homosexuality. Pornography can be the first step on a very slippery slope of ever-increasing wickedness and immorality (Romans 6:19). The addictive nature of pornography is well documented. Just as a drug user must consume greater and more powerful quantities of drugs to achieve the same “high,” pornography drags a person deeper and deeper into hard-core sexual addictions and ungodly desires.
The three main categories of sin are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Pornography definitely causes us to lust after flesh, and it is undeniably a lust of the eyes. Pornography definitely does not qualify as one of the things we are to think about, according to Philippians 4:8. Pornography is addictive (1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19), and destructive (Proverbs 6:25-28; Ezekiel 20:30; Ephesians 4:19). Lusting after other people in our minds, which is the essence of pornography, is offensive to God (Matthew 5:28). When habitual devotion to pornography characterizes a person’s life, it demonstrates the person is not saved (1 Corinthians 6:9).
For those involved in pornography, God can and will give the victory. Are you involved with pornography and desire freedom from it? Here are some steps to victory: 1) Confess your sin to God (1 John 1:9). 2) Ask God to cleanse, renew, and transform your mind (Romans 12:2). 3) Ask God to fill your mind with Philippians 4:8. 4) Learn to possess your body in holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4). 5) Understand the proper meaning of sex and rely on your spouse alone to meet that need (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). 6) Realize that if you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). 7) Take practical steps to reduce your exposure to graphic images. Install pornography blockers on your computer, limit television and video usage, and find another Christian who will pray for you and help keep you accountable.

You're not going to get extra punishment for breaking rules, so don't worry about that. What you are going to get is the consequences of your actions. And chronic watching of porn has a lot of negative consequences, believe me. It's going to mess up your relationships with people, causing you to see them as objects, and it's going to mess up your sex life. That's what you should be concerned about.

According to some religions, yes god will forgive you. In other sects, god will not forgive you.
So it really just depends on whose religion card is in your back pocket.

The Bible states:
"Flee from fornication. Every other sin that a man may commit is outside his body, but he that practices fornication is sinning against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18).
Porn? It´s full of fornication, adultery, immorality, sexual orgies, etc. If Jehovah God does not want us to commit such sins, do you think he would want us to watch it? If we view, read, listen or talk about pornography, do you think we are demonstrating to Jehovah that we want to flee from fornication?
Pornography leads to many things. It messes up your thoughts because those scenes seem to be impossible to forget. And look what happens when you think a lot about something:
"But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death" (James 1:14-15).
Pornography leads to desire to do the things done there, you think of it, and when you have the opportunity, you fall into fornication (sin) and that sin leads to (death).
But when does it lead to death?
Repentance is a very important factor to be forgiven. Not only say that your sorry to God, but demonstrate it. If you say to God that your sorry, but then you keep on watching it, you are not demonstrating how sorry you are.
It´s important to break free from that habit. You may think negatively saying it is to hard. But God is willing to help you. "For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive; And the loving-kindness to all those calling upon you is abundant" (Psalm 86:5).
"He that is covering over his transgressions will not succeed, but he that is confessing and leaving [them] will be shown mercy" (Proverbs 28:13).
Important: Talk about it, like the Proverbs say, confess it, not only confess but leave it, and Jehovah God will show you mercy, which means that he will forgive you.
Pray earnestly to God and ask forgiveness. Tell him to help you break free from the habit and when those thoughts come to your mind, read this Bible scripture:
"Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God; Â and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).
Supplicate to God, make your petition but also thank him for the good he is doing for you, and he will give you his peace that will guard your mind.
So the only way that sin will lead to death is if you do not repent from your sins. But if you do and demonstrate it, you will be shown mercy from Jehovah God.
Something that will also help you is studying the Bible. Jehovah´s Witness offer free home Bible Studies with a book called What does the Bible Really Teach? This will help you draw closer to God and have a complete knowledge. When Jehovah´s Witnesses come to your door, you could ask for a bible study and they will gladly help you. Or, you could go to the site www.watchtower.org and you could sign up for a bible study. I hope I have helped you, any questions you could go to my profile. Take care

Jesus said, "Go, and SIN NO MORE!"
John the Baptist said "Bring forth fruit (evidence) meet for (demonstrating) repentance."
Paul said that God wants all people every where to REPENT.
All the Old Testament prophets cried out, "REPENT!"
Are you beginning to see a trend here?
I'll give you a hint: "REPENT!"
("Repent" means to make a full 180 degree turn around, turn your back on your sins, quit living ultimately to please Self, and "own" Jesus as the Lord (boss) of your life - i.e. OBEY Him.)
This may require a time of fasting and prayer in which you force your body into obedience by withholding a basic requirement of life ("Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God") until such time as your body obeys the spirit and says "NO!" to that trash. Bring your body under subjection, and learn how to love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your MIND, and all your strength.
Thank you for your honesty, and thank you that you acknowledge God's existence.
God bless you as you continue to seek God for redemption and release from the power of Sin in your life. Remember, Jesus said "Whom the Son sets free shall be free indeed."
(Side note: Hint: Remember that God said that He would deliver us from our enemies; but He never said anything about delivering us from our friends.)

Of course He will forgive you just as long as it is not taken for granted and you keep doing it WILLINGLY.
Jesus died so that we can be forgiven of sin.
Talk to Him and tell Him what you are going through and ask Him for help. You know He will help you.

He doesn't care about your porn. He's watching the African kids starve to death, watching people die of AIDS and Cancer. If he doesn't care enough to do anything for them, why would he care about you?
