Are Religious People Free from Porn and other Sexual Sins? by anu3: 6:07pm On Jan 16, 2022 |
Being religious doesn't stop one, even a religious christian from sexual temptations. It's easier to look religious than to overcome sexual sins: remember the former part of Samson. In fact, some of them might be more bound than nonreligious people. Some religious people are bound to internet porn secretly. I was quite bound by some sexual immoralities myself so I know how terrible it is, fighting even after getting converted. What can help such people is the fear of God, Repentance and to fight it with all of one's heart by Faith. Apparently, lots of professing christians, including pastors indulge in watching porn, and they even practice it with their wives or other women. To overcome, one needs God's help: grace, that's if one is willing to Repent, seek help from Him in prayer and obey Jesus. God bless 1 Like 1 Share |

Even if you overcome that one, what about Wizkid's song (which promotes lust) that's on your phone? What about that little lie you told which you have forgotten about? Or that crazy driver you insulted for almost hitting you? Do you have to repent every minute just because you want to enter an ancient Kingdom in the clouds? Christianity is illogical. 1 Like |

kingxsamz: Yeah friend, I understand you perfectly: I was once in your shoes. It will be illogical to you till you come to the light by grace: hopefully. See what God has to say: 1Cor.2.14 - But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. No one is perfect, but a true christian must be in the Fight against all sin, selfishness and worldliness. When I got converted I had to let go of my lying habit by grace; as for worldly songs, I had to get rid of my desires for them. Including my breakdance I used to do well, which made me quite popular in secondary school. The trouble is the coming wrath of God, Jesus is coming back for judgment, not mercy Again. Hence, the need to Repent. Jesus got me the hard way (got sick and almost Died). My love for videogames, rap and hip-hop music, sexual immoralities, etc couldn't make me respond to God. Now is the time to Humble ourselves and Turn totally to God. Peace. 3 Likes |

anu3: Whatever habbit you get rid off, the fact is, chances of you going to hell over little, petty reasons is very high. You could do all that is considered right and still end up in hell for something small. Meanwhile, a ritualist would end up in heaven after repenting on his dying bed. Might as well just sin and enjoy your life, rather than living in fear like a slave. |

kingxsamz: Friend, can't you see how you've analyzed things as if you've been in charge before. The thing is Faith and Obedience. You're right, even the least bit of sin is serious, and the worst sinner may get saved. That doesn't mean death bed Repentance is reliable: We cannot fool God. But God knows how to save the Righteous: 2Pet.2.9 - then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, Peace... 1 Like |

anu3: So if someone sincerely gives his life to Christ on his death bed, it won't be accepted? Give me a direct answer. |

Re: Are Religious People Free from Porn and other Sexual Sins? by anu3: 9:11pm On Jan 17, 2022 |
kingxsamz: Friend, you should know my answer: yes. But in your contexts so far, God cannot be fooled. Like one imagining that as "oh, so if I feel I'm about to die, I'd just say a quick sinners prayer and that's it: boom into heaven". IT'S Thrash! God is not fooled, friend. God already sees that selfish calculations, it would even be difficult to be sincere at that point. True Repentance is something deep, full of regrets and remorse about sin. Please, see what happen to Esau: Heb.12.16 - lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. Heb.12.17 - For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found NO PLACE for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears. People quote the "good" thief Jesus saved in the last minute, when they themselves are currently following the unrepentant thief that lost the last opportunity the good had... Conclusion: Repentance is not cheap: it's not just words, repeating something like a magic formula after a preacher. Many have repeated it several times over, and still not changed. No time, if not I would've written a little about my own Repentance experience. It was the hard way, as Common, I love(d) my Self, Ego, Pride and the World deeply. God bless |

Hello friend, brother or sister... Are you bound by sexual immoralities, even though you always look Holy or Religious? It doesn't matter how long you've been bound: I understand. And it's Time to Repent of All sins, not just that. We've got to seek grace to Begin to deeply HATE those things. Hating alone is not enough, we've got to fear God and get power to Obey God, asking in prayer... See, it's better we're outright prostitutes or porn stars than living like that secretly: there's more hope for sinners than hypocrites. That's why we got to wake up. We got to stop fooling around with the opposite sex, calling it fellowship or partners or friends... A great man of God said something like: "When a boy and a girl are getting close, who are not husband and wife (getting fond of each other), there must be Idolatry between them. (br Zac poonen) 2Tim.2.22 - Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. God bless... 1 Like |

anu3: The thief who was beside Jesus on a cross asked for forgiveness, and he was not only forgiven, but promised paradise. So that invalidates all you wrote up there. Thank you. |
