If you view pornography can you still call yourself Christian?

 

It's unlikely (Luke 8:35, 2 Pe 1:6, Mt 7:20, 2 Cor 13:5).

 

Response to comment [from a Satanist]: "Considering how often it happens I'd have to say that "of course" is the correct answer to the OP's question."

 

How would a Satanist know this? The reprobate mind: does not have Christ (2 Cor. 13:3–5), rejects the faith (2 Tim. 3:8), has spiritual barrenness (Heb. 6:7, 8), a lack of discipline (1 Cor. 9:24–27) and is rejected by the Lord (Jer. 6:30).

Run along home little doggie (Pr 26:11; Mt 7:6; 2 Pe 2:22).

 

"Free sexual expression and the celebration of the body aren't anything to be discouraged..."

 

"New morality is old sin." ~ J. Vernon McGee Mt 15:19, 1 Cor 5:9-11, 6:18, Re 17:1-5


"There's something inherently misogynistic (or at least very, very confused and mixed up) in calling the naked form ugly, disgusting, or something to be avoided."

 

We needed a Satanist to tell us that God's creation is a good thing? Ge 1:31. "Using your body in a way that God did not intend, is like hitching a plow to the back of a Cadillac. You'll destroy your car. Disobey God and you'll destroy not only your physical body , but your heart, mind and soul as well (Pv 5:11). God is not a cosmic killjoy just wanting to take away your fun (Hanegraaff). Every kick has its kick back (Rogers). The playboy's payday is death (Rogers). Payday-- someday. Our lives belong to God. They are not our own. Dishonoring ourselves is dishonoring God as we are made in His image..." Full text: Armor of the Lord

"While porn may pose a problem for some weak souls..."

 

You can tell us how to get a strong soul? Mt 13:48

 

"...[W]hich could lead to an addiction..."

 

Once they've believed you in the first place (2 Pet. 2:19, 20), how can they then break their addiction? Is this about the time you recommend you little blue pill?

 

"...[T]hat's the price you pay for living in a free society..."

 

Pay to be a slave (Jn 8:34, 36). Thanks, Satanist. Any more nuggets of truth for us today? Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10

 

"Porn flaunts freedom and struts around on liberty, and I like that just fine."

 

"A homosexual might say that he practices sexual perversion because God made him that way. A pedophile could say the same thing. He practices sexual perversion because God also made him that way. Once you choose to sin, that is the conception of a child, the Bible teaches, called sin. " When lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death (Jms 1:15, NASB)..." Full text: Armor of the Lord

 

"Five bucks says SD is responding to a post of mine...[mock] SD."

 

You aren't trying to convince others that I am elderly and prudish today. Are you low on dog vitamins? 2 Pe 2:22

Good recommendation. :thumb:

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "I'm elderly and prudish and will defend Prudedom to the death!"
