    Ephesians 5:3, 4 - Let sexual immorality and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you, just as is proper for holy people; 4 neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.

    Yes, and it is hard to avoid in print and other media. Just because there were no cameras in those days does not mean that watching a woman lustfully in person is not just as bad as looking at a pornographic picture or movie. That is what Jesus meant at Matthew 5:27-28  

    Also, righteous Job made a covenant with his eyes  Job 31:1 

    The Bible also says to treat every woman as a sister, every older woman as a mother, and it was NOT encouraging incest, but decent, respectful relationships.1 Timothy 5:1, 2

    This also applies to women looking a man in this way.

    YES, NOTHING IMPURE WILL EVER ENTER HEAVEN AND THE ONLY WAY TO BECOME PURE AGAIN IS TO CONFESS YOUR SINS IF SINCERE AND HUMBLE OF HEART, JESUS WILL FORGIVE ALL YOUR SINS. ABOUT PORN>>>>

    I THINK YOU ARE A PERSON WHO IS TRYING TO BE GOOD, YOU ARE ADDICTED TO LOOKING AT PORN AND IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT STOPPING THE SELF GRATIFICATION, THEN YOU DONT GO LOOK AT PORN. I THINK YOU ARE KIDDING YOURSELF. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE LORD FOR STRENGTH AND YOU DO THAT BY GOING IMMEDIATELY TO HIM IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR ROOM AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FOR ALL THE IMPURE THOUGHTS THAT YOU LET INTO YOUR MIND, BUT DONT BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF, GOD KNOWS OUR WEAKNESS'S BETTER THAN WE DO. AND IF YOU ARE REALLY TRYING AND ARE SINCERE EACH TIME YOU ASK FOR FORGIVENESS WHEN YOU SLIP(FALL), THEN THE LORD WILL FORGIVE YOU AS MANY TIMES AS YOU ASK HIM. YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET STRONGER BUT YOU MUST GO BACK TO CHURCH AND HOLY COMMUNION (FOR STRENGTH) AND PRAY IN SECRET TO THE LORD WHEN EVER YOU CAN, ABOVE ALL YOU MUST BE SINCERE, THE LORD LOVES A HUMBLE AND SINCERE HEART. REMEMBER JESUS WHEN HE WAS CARRYING HIS CROSS FELL THREE TIMES BUT IN ALL HIS AGONY AND PAIN GOT RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN AND MOVED FORWARD, JUST FOR LOVE OF US. WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS AN EAMPLE FOR US THAT WHEN WE SLIP (FALL) WE SHOULD GET RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN AND MOVE FORWARD TOWARD HIM FOR FORGIVENESS. DONT EVER THINK YOU ARE BEING A HYPOCRITE, YOU ARE NOT, IT JUST TAKES TIME TO CONQUER THIS, WITH THE HOLY COMMUNION YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW STRONG YOU WILL BECOME, IT IS NOT DONE OVERNITE.

    OH, IF YOU WOULD ONLY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ARE PLEASING GOD JUST FOR TRYING TO BE GOOD FOR HIM, YOU ARE A DELIGHT IN HIS EYES, HE CANNOT WAIT TO SNATCH UP WHEN YOU DIE, FOR THOSE WHO DIE REPENTANT, NO TORMENT SHALL TOUCH THEM. JESUS SAID YOU WERE FAITHFUL TO ME IN LIFE, NOW ENTER INTO THE HOUSE OF MY FATHER FOREVER. JESUS ALSO SAID>>>>>>

    "THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET, I SHALL MAKE THEM WHITE AS SNOW". READ THIS SLOWLY>>

    Despite what its defenders say, pornography has profoundly negative effects on people’s views of sex and sexual behavior. Researchers at the National Foundation for Family Research and Education concluded that “exposure to pornography puts viewers at increased risk for developing sexually deviant tendencies.” According to the report, “the rape myth (belief that women cause and enjoy rape, and that rapists are normal) is very widespread in habitual male users of pornography.”

    If a person thinks it is, I guess for them it is.

    Sins are offences against gods. Do you really think that gods are wasting their time watching  billions of people watching pornography? If they are, they are not worth worshipping as gods; if they aren't they are not being offended.

    Of course it's a sin.  It's turning the most intimate experience known to humans into a spectator sport.

  • YES. Break the habit or SUFFER the consequences. The choice is yours.
