Jesus died for our sins. He takes away the sins of the world. Therefore all of our sins are taken away, and we are pure in the eyes of the Lord. You can deny this fact then making any sin you have ever committed your ****ation. All in all lust is sin. All sin is equal. ALL SIN IS EQUAL! Watching porn is sin. Lying is sin. Murder. If you are repentant you are saved by the grace of God. That's what Christianity is about. Being saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. No matter your sin you are welcome in heaven. Trying to justify porn, and saying it is not a sin is the problem. Unrepentant sin.
So from this list of hypocrisy. you can commit sin but be forgiven if you sorry. So what does it matter if you sin or not. How are you judged on being sorry or not? If you are getting sent to hell you will be very sorry for what you did even if in the first place you weren't.
How can watching something that is one of the most natural acts made by all animals is wrong? What way is this harming anyone? Does watching animals mating count as porn aswell? What happens to animals when they die aswell?
If all sin is equal then why limit yourself to less humane acts. What your saying is murder and lying is the same level. So why just lie you may aswell kill people? In the real world there is a big difference between these 2 Distinctions.
Perhaps you need to understand why the bible was first created. From the dawn of primitive man, they needed ways to understand the world. They had no way to work out how things did what they did (Physics). Not to mention it was an excellent way to control a mass of people. There is evidence that before the current religions there was other gods people worshiped. In their different communities that was on the exploration around the world. Groups meet each other would fight over the true god and of-course kill each other in the process. This is still pretty much what happens in the world today. It shouldn't be though since we have means of finding out knowledge.
The reluctance of people to see the truth is extraordinary. People need to feel an importance in their life. Being created from an all great power is an amazing concept. In the days where things can be explained, this is a very comforting thing. If there was no great power, then what do people have to live for? There is alot, make the most of the life you have. Not wasting it dedicating your life to something that probably doesn't exist. Generating hatred towards others who don't see things as you do. Instead of wishing people a good life, you condemn them to an eternal life of torture? You people think you are truly good people but just to close minded to see, the true value of life.
I am not expecting people to not believe in god but in religion. Would God want this?
Not a fiery one, but some say there's a place of darkness where the soul waits, others say that the punishment is just staying dead.
What is viewing porn? LUST!
Not necessarily. For it to be lust depends on the intent of the viewer, why it was viewed. For example, if you look at a fancy car, you could be lustily desiring to own one or you could just be curious about its specifications.
That's a good point. I always forget about that. Excuse me, they will have broken their covenant with God. They will have to sacrifice something in order to cleanse themselves of their sins. (I am Lutheran I really shouldn't have dug down that rabbit hole). Um, considering the fact that I try to avoid porn. No. I have never watched porn/hentai for the plot. Being under 18 I can't legally watch porn so..............
@ pft oh boy, um wow you have struck a debate on Christianity. I am not debating Christianity. I am giving the view of the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox view on pornography.@palpatine Thank you for clearing up the whole hell and jews thing. @Palpatine I am referring to the general case. What percent of people watch porn for research? .1%? The first time, maybe?
@ pft oh boy, um wow you have struck a debate on Christianity. I am not debating Christianity. I am giving the view of the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox view on pornography
Avoid answering the questions, typical. You brought up Jesus and sin. I am not on about Christianity i am on about most religions. Most of them are pretty similar with a few minor differences.
In the law you are told that any sin you commit is too many sins therefore you are ****ed to hell. For Jews they can offer the sacrifice as atonement for their sins. That is the answer for Jews.
actually, there are many rules in judaism and all that but unlike in christianity you dont have to be holy. you are not condemned to hell simply for being human. you might commit a sin but it doesnt really mean much. judaism really isnt as strict. any 'wrong' thing you do usually just count as disrespect towards towards god and vice versa. no eternal hell or anything like that.
Interesting, again I apologize for giving the Jewish view. I was barking up the wrong tree. @pft If you are looking to debate me on Christianity, please take it to my profile. This is a forum on porn and hell. For Christians as long as you are repentant you are not going to hell. This doesn't mean we don't try to be good. It means that theoretically we don't have to be. No sin will bring you away from eternal life........ provided you understand that it is wrong. Saying that porn is ok is a problem for Christians.
Porn is like THE concetrated lust sin. You watch it not because you like to learn on filming and camera handeling. But because of a lust to do so.
And Judaism is quite clear about rules. Its nit like christianity and its "7 sins", which anyone can take as he want. The bible have an entire book to make anlist if rules. If you hit a herd animak of another man you get so and so. If you Misbehave to an animal you get so and so. Its not based on sonething. One ruleis, in free translate, "dont waste sperm". From this sentence come the forbiding of gay couples (only males. Females can be lesbian by the bible).
And as a one who, from pure curiosity watched an hentai for its plot (after the 6 round without.. you know), i can clearly say its crap. Most of them. well im stopping...
@FishPreferred He can claim he doesn't want to start that. However if he makes a great deal of statements along that line 9n his previous post, and then ends with I don't want to start anything in the next post; too late. All I have for him is Pascal's wager. Other than that I don't like to debate atheists on the internet.
@EmporerPalpatine I was not referring to that. I am sorry. I should have been more clear.
