    The truth is, every one of us has a conscience and therefore, you and I KNOW when we are doing wrong.  That's what your conscience is for.

    It's absolutely wrong because not only is it a type of adultery, fornication and exploitation of someone else - another human being, but in addition, it is sexual immorality (you know this by your conscience, that's why you are asking the question because you really don't feel right viewing it do you (be honest with yourself).

    The truth is it will drag you down to absolute degradation in the end, because Pornography is like every other vice, it is addictive to the one who is trapped in the Devil's grip.

    Through the power of God's Holy Spirit, it is easy to say no and not look at these things in the first place.  It will be much harder to get out of the addiction once in because Satan never wants to let you go.

    If you do ever get free, then it is often the case that you will be lured into something worse to replace it and you won't even notice either.

    That's how dangerous these vices are.

    Lust is a sin according to the Bible (Matt. 5:28). So, yes, pornography is definitely sinful. It also is addictive and causes men to view women as mere objects. Pornography is also not a victimless crime! Many of the women in pornography are actually victims of human trafficking, and those who view pornography are only contributing to that terrible reality. If you are into pornography, you need to get help. Check out the book "Stormproof Men" by Roger Fankhauser.

    The good news is that the moment you trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone as Savior, ALL of your sins (past, present and future) are completely forgiven (Acts 10:43).

    The Bible teaches that we are all sinners who deserve eternal separation from God in hell. But the good news is that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for all our sins and rose again (1 Cor. 15:3-4). Because of the shed blood of Christ, no one has to go to hell. All one must do to receive eternal life is to believe in Jesus Christ for that free gift! The moment you believe in Christ alone to save you (apart from works), you are kept eternally secure and will go to heaven when you die no matter what.

    "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24).

    Anything that is an abomination to God, which you are turned on by, is evil and wicked, and in itself an abomination to God.

    A prophet of God has warned you this day to cease from looking at that stuff.

    If you have a porn problem then here is the first step to take to get God to help you with it.

    And it is my highest viewed video.

    It is adultery and God has defined it as sin.

    Not if it’s watched in moderation and doesn’t interfere with one’s life, like anything else that can become addictive. 

  • The people most guilty in it are the actual porn actors and porn makers who make the stuff

    “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.“ Matthew 18:6

    Jesus has the most anger at the people spreading it and making it. So yes it is wrong but you can be freed from it over time.

    Normal men and women are naturally interested in sex.  Pornography is usually just people having sex.  I don't see anything wrong with looking at it.

    I would say yes because porn actors are terrible people who don't deserve any money
