Calling that despicable to his face took some courageous balls. Thank you for standing your ground and defending the truth 🫡
It takes integrity and calling things as they really are.
@@MovedByBeauty lol
(((dennis prager))) and his whole tribe are antichrist this is not exactly defending truth but conveniently ignoring it. read the talmud. it condones jooish gRape of children MULTIPLE times.
It didn't take balls to call pedophilia despicable. It would take balls to point out how Jews spear head these degenerate movements. From establishing porn, to open borders, even transgenderism. If you have the intellectual honesty, then I want you to look up "Magnus Herschfeld". He was the father of transgenderism. The Hitler youth marched onto his campus, burned his material, and that's the infamous book burning. They did the right thing. Ban these people. Use force. That takes balls.
It takes courageous balls to the currently CUCKED Christian’s
But to a normal Christian it’s standard procedure
Matt, as your former professor at Holy Apostles, I’m so pleased to see you courageously defending the truth.
I certainly hope this is not considered courageous. That would be a pretty serious blight on societal standards. Perhaps he should be considered well spoken.
@@anthonygoodman48 There are different types of courage, Matt possesses moral courage.
@@anthonygoodman48
Hate to break it to you but it is. How we have fallen. Some things on modern society would make the oligarchs in Sodom blush.
I have to say, this is what has made Jewish and non-Jewish cultures difficult to live with one another. The philosophy is, “to each his own as long as they don’t hurt anyone else“. This philosophy is evil; in both Christian and Muslim eyes, because, these two religions recognize there is an ideal that God wants of us, and we try to ascribe to it. The Jewish brain, on the other hand, does not see the world this way, but he’s more concerned about behavior; which the “to each his own“ encourages. It is very difficult for those cultures, who are more idealistic, to live with the Jew, who is more behaviourist and his understanding of the world.
@@harleymann2086 disagree with Prager, don't let him speak for all Jews
“You didn’t do evil if you thought evil.”
This sentence right here is why Christ says you can only get to the Father through him.
Even in Prager’s worldview, he has to concede that the people who make, star in, manufacture, and sell the pornography have to actually DO evil so that it exists for consumption.
If you thought it, it’s as though it were done.
@@ohnoyce It's a little bit more nuanced than that. Sometimes, people have fleeting sinful thoughts. In other words, sometimes we might have a sinful thought that passes by but then dissipates. That in of itself is not sinful. Now, let's say you have lustful thoughts about a girl you like. If you have these thoughts intially but don't "fuel the fire", nothing wrong has happened. Yet, if you indulge in these thoughts to the point it begins to interfere with your daily life, that's when these thoughts start becoming an issue. Furthermore, if you ACT on these thoughts, that's when it becomes an even greater issue. Sinful thoughts can be sinful in of themselves, but that depends on A) How much they feed those thoughts B) If it starts interfering with their daily life C) They act on these thoughts.
@@IONov990 every mortal sin starts with intent. Criminal law recognizes this, mens rea is a required element of a variety of crimes. No intent, no criminal conviction. From perspective, divine law says the intent itself is enough to sever the relationship from God, with a refusal of His command that protects you from ever acting on the intentions in the first place
@@Seliz463 was just abo it to mention mens rea and actus reus
I have been disturbed by Prager's view of porn for decades. I'm so encouraged to see Christians calling it out. Thank you, Matt, for your forthrightness and boldness.
He’s been espousing this for decades…?
@youngKOkid1 Absolutely. I don't recall when exactly I became aware of his view on this, but I'm pretty sure it was before 2010. Iirc he was a spiritual advisor to some guy in the ____ industry.
I'm stunned that Prager holds this view. It just doesn't fit with everything else he stands for. Bizzare.
I agree with Prager, porn can be a good way to regulate one's urges alone. A question I've asked Christians and other religious people over the years and have never gotten a straight answer is what do you expect boys and young men to do from the ages of 13 to when they get married, 15 or 20+ years of celibacy and zero sexual stimulation? Like a priest? Really? No premarital sex, which I Agree with; no porn and no self-pleasure? Because that's untenable and a recipe for shame and self-hate.
@@verfed Straight answer: young boys and girls should be encouraged not to have premarital sex and masturbate. Why is that untenable and a recipe for shame and self-hate? Millions of people do it. Unfortunately, modern society's loss of Christian faith (thus sense of objective moral values and duties) and hypersexuality makes this seems like an impossible task.
I think sin doesn't fill a desire bucket, it makes the desire bucket bigger. Go, Matt, for spreading the truth!
It makes it endless. And endless pursuit to glorify the self. It’s a horrible but facially tantalizing pit to slip into
You aren’t “getting it out of your system” your getting it IN your system
Good point
Well put.
Never heard this analogy -- very nice
Fascinating. My opinion of Matt Fradd continues to rise, sadly I cannot say the same of Dennis Prager
Prager is a fraud. A charleton. He's a Jew who doesn't believe in the divinity of Christ.
I agree with Matt, and Prager saying, “Who is being hurt? You have to have a victim,” that right there is despicable, Matt is right, you are literally poisoning yourself from the Evil Behavioral Actions being watched.
God too is hurt. He sees all.
The problem with Prager is that he can't admit that he is the victim. If you watch porn, even some weird AI porn that no other human has seen or touched, there is still a victim. You are that victim.
Indeed, not to mention everyone involved with bringing it in front of you.
Exactly, lust is a sin that doesn't necessarily involve physical action
Never trusted Prager. Seemed like a fraud to me 15 years ago.
I was raised southern Baptist and I just want to thank Matt for aiding in my conversion to Catholicism. I had become basically atheist and since 2017 slowly found my way to Catholicism and am engaged to a wonderful pious Catholic woman.
So thank you for your help, Matt.
Glory to God! Welcome home brother!

Praise God!
God bless you and may St. Monica watch over you! She is the patron saint of conversion! ❤
It depicts an action that is morally wrong and evil, no matter what type of porn it is.
Are all fictional depictions of fictional violence also immoral?
@@Jimmy-iy9pl Well it depends upon why you are looking at it. The intent is just as important as the action. If you are using it to try to satiate some kind of bloodlust or hatred, then I would say it's wrong just as it is wrong people use animated porn to try to satiate some type of sexual desire. It all depends on what the intent is for watching.
@@Jimmy-iy9pl the purpose of porn is voyeurism - which is sexually illicit, yes. (That can be discussed further, but hopefully it's fairly self-evident.)
Depictions of violence, however, are not necessarily revenge fantasies created for evil intent. In fact, most depictions of violence in fiction are used to create a compelling story and typically are used to illustrate some virtue or desirable quality that must overcome some oppositional vice.
GTA and other media that encourage mindless slaughter of innocent civilians are not necessarily going to lead to increased violence in the world, but they are not good or moral.
@@Jimmy-iy9pl well, that depends on the nature of the evil.
Here we are talking about child sexual abuse. This is an absolute evil. There are no conditions under which the action is acceptable, and there is no lession which can be learned from looking into it.
Nice try though!
Perhaps it's not the fact that it depicts immorality that's the problem (the Bible depicts scenes of evil, although it condemns them). Rather, the problem is that it was created with the intent to make persons aroused by things they ought not be aroused by.
Protestant here.
Mr. Fradd, my wife and I listened to the entire video yesterday and I can’t tell you how often we paused it for the sake of discussion, prayer, sadness, and anger. I commend you for your effort to remain patient and charitable with Mr. Prager.
I don't think Prager understands human psychology very well. You were right, Matt, the more you act on your passions, the worse they get.
The more you feed the beast (porn) the stronger it gets.
I admire Prager for numerous things, but what I always found odd about him is that he's rather unsophisticated when talking about, say, the vices of the human soul. I remember when he was speaking with Robert P. George, where George was by far the more nuanced thinker. Prager wasn't necessarily bad, but he wasn't what I would call an intellectual (in the best possibly sense). Prager is what I would describe as someone who's a smart accountant you'd meet while waiting for your deli order while doing groceries.
He understands. He's evil.
He definitely understands his jewish psychology that hes trying to push on you christians through his abrahamic guilt cult. Notice how the interviewer is trying to point out the entire process of how you need someone to take hours and hours to produce a cartoon and how its just corrupt from beginning to end, and dennis prager takes it for granted and acts like it just exists. Like do you really think a guy who runs a propaganda media empire is clueless about the creation and public distribution process of media and images available and targeted to american youth. Thats literally the mission statement of his own organization, and hes going around telling people theyre born bisexual and this kind of nonsense, but you believe him cuz oh you cant criticize gods chosen people. Lol its allll nonsense. Stop believing jewish fairy tales, you think youre fighting the perversions in the name of "yahweh" but youre inadvertantly promoting them for people like prager.
@@shawnrusselldtheir whole race is evil.
Thank you for calling out Dennis Prager on this. Porn is not only sinful in the Biblical sense, but is a reinforcement of sinful fantasies that is that much more likely to one day be acted out, while healthy sexual behavior, including abstinence, is being ignored or refrained from. Let us not so easily forget the people in the videos, particularly the woman, who may not have participated in the activities of her own free will, and certainly should never be objectified, because she is an Image Bearer of God.
Bet Dennis Prager watches porn and is trying to defend it.
LOL
I dont really like religion, so all that stuff aside, dennis prager is just obviously not right. Respect to this guy for using common sense and not going along with the prager grift.
@@deathpunch23 You're also ignoring all of their guest speakers,, too, many of whom are highly qualified and credentialed environmental scientists, historians, professors from Stanford, etc., so if anyone is not thinking outside of the box, including believing what mainstream media tells them, that might well be you.
@@jjgeoffphhcinkkllee Is that your official rebuttal? I think you might have lost the debate.
Wow. Stuck on the outside of the cup while the inside is full of greed and wickedness …. Luke 11:39. I’m speechless. This is so incoherent a position to hold. Thank you Matt for bringing clarity and wisdom! And Jesus!
It's not incoherent. It's enlightening. We literally watched a debate between Pharisee and Jesus speaking through Matt.
@@alisterrebelo9013 the pharisees are the direct philosophical ancestors of modern rabbinic Judaism.
Should I be afraid that my phone knew everything word I was gonna say? Does mean I'm on a list 😢
@@marvalice3455 sorry not being rude. What is the point of your comment? We all know that Pharisees are of the Rabbinic tradition. That is the whole point, the Rabbinic tradition cares very little for the Spirit or intent of God's laws. Literally behaving like lawyers 'Legal if its not forbidden in the law' attitude. I've worked legal industries and I used to have this debate all the time with Literalists who refuse to accept the intent of the law.
@@alisterrebelo9013 I was agreeing with you
@@marvalice3455 Im sorry if i came across as silly/rude my fellow in Christ! It is often difficult to decipher intent in text format.
Wow, just wow. This is exactly why Christ said For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. The fight against evil begins by changing men's hearts
Exactly.
And God Alone can change that, who is that God? It is Jesus Christ.
That is the dilemma everyone has and is the Stumbling block.
Ezekiel has written this very much in his Book in Bible.
This Nuts in a way, to give one self to temptation in thoughts this can become an obsession, frankly one doing again and again is the very definition of that.
Christ said you commit adultery when you look with lust on another. Done. No "action" involved. The sin is in the heart.
Wow. Surprised by Dennis' perspective. And disappointed. There are actually 3 people being hurt: the man watching it, the animator making it, and God.
Makes me think of the native American proverb about which wolf are you feeding. By creating, the animator feeds the bad wolf and by buying the consumer perpetuates the viscous cycle. Seems obviously immoral. How long will they feeds their respective wolves before the consumer does act out? Kinda sad Prager can't see it.
And possibly a whole host of loved ones like his mother, father, siblings and friends that know what he is doing and how he is frittering away his life and talents in a darkened room.
Women watch porn too.
Why are you surprised by Praegers take on this? It's literally his religious doctrine, you people act like he's a Christian. Not to mention almost all of his ideas are bad bad bad
@@younameit1407came here to say this, the so called "gentiles" are very foolish and gullible.
I feel like this is basically a debate between Judaism and Christianity. The Old Law as far as I understand only restricts external act, but Jesus teaches us on the mountain that our thoughts need to be purified. As good Catholics we all know it is possible to commit mortal sin in thoughts. And mortal sin is absolutely evil.
The Old Law forbids covetousness, and consuming any form of pornography is certainly covetous
As good Christians…
Even old law was not being implemented correctly by the ones who were ought to or else, God would have chosen not to come to this earth. As was deep the Sin of Man. One example is the Law of Divorce in Judaism.
Pretty much we are indulging in a world who is Divorced with Body and his Thoughts as though both are different things not in union. They are different but it does influence each other in big major ways. Early Gnostics Doctrines is what the world's mindset is of right now as Michael Knowles put it. Soul and Body is Not in union for Human Being for the Gnostics.
Rabbi Shais Taub has a video out about Dennis Prager's take on pornography and he disagrees with Dennis. The Jewish stance is much the same as the christian stance.
Traditional Christianity's view of God's commandments is just as ignorant as Dennis' view of them. They are spiritual laws(Rom. 7:14). That's why this religions' claims about Jesus nailing them to the cross is silly as it is unbiblical. Jesus' couldn't nail spiritual laws to a physical object, even if He wanted to. Moses understood they were spiritual(Deut. 10:16). Traditional Christianity on the other hand, consistently fails to understand this.
Prager made a whole video once on about how drooling over other women in bikinis on the beach is okay (because 'men are like that') and your wife should have no problem with that. Imagine that.
Pretty funny how you people go off so passionately about g @ y stuff, and then you are also pearl-clutchers concerning STRAIGHT s3x. No wonder red-blooded right leaning males still often find that the RELIGIOUS part of the right is also perverse and anti-male/anti-straight, like the wokes but from a different angle. More women than men in religious services makes A LOT of sense......
Matt handled this well.
Yeah he did. I would have shouted at him!
'Well' is a severe understatement.
Sadly, Dennis doesn't understand that pornography IS adultery. It's adultery of the mind, heart and spirit, which is worse than that of the flesh, as the spirit endures forever. And without sacramental confession, so do its sins.
Prager is an atheist though, so it makes sense. His lack of objective grounded truth.
I do think porn is wrong but I don't think imagining adultery is worse than physical adultery. Physical adultery still arguably entails adultery of the spirit, since it still involves your will and your intellect. The idea that imagining an evil act is worse than doing the act itself is absurd imo.
He's a jew. Pornographers are his ilk.
I have to say, this is what has made Jewish and non-Jewish cultures difficult to live with one another. The philosophy is, “to each his own as long as they don’t hurt anyone else“. This philosophy is evil; in both Christian and Muslim eyes, because, these two religions recognize there is an ideal that God wants of us, and we try to ascribe to it. The Jewish brain, on the other hand, does not see the world this way, but he’s more concerned about behavior; which the “to each his own“ encourages. It is very difficult for those cultures, who are more idealistic, to live with the Jew, who is more behaviourist and his understanding of the world.
@@harleymann2086 you do realize that if everyone doesn’t decide to each there own that any other group can force you to live the way they want you to live. I think the main problem with super liberal people today is that they refuse to let conservatives live by there values.
Evil is evil. There can be no opening of the door - not even a little bit. This is why we're in the situation we're in now.
What's more evil, watching pornography or raping someone.
Matthew 15:8
"These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me."
Notice that Denis Prager, who is a Jew, makes a fine distinction between the action and the heart. He sees no wrong with having a distorted heart.
Yeah, exactly.
Dennis Prager undoubtedly has a highly distorted heart himself. Distorted hearts lead to distorted actions; there is no question about it. One will always lead to the other.
I’ve lost a lot of respect for Dennis Prager. I’ll admit that I already didn’t have much respect for him, but it’s absolutely gone now.
Why didn't you have respect for him before?
@@Veritas1234 He's a squish
@@SquareNoggin a what?
Oh, I agree with Prager on most issues. This ain’t one of ‘em. I think if he engages in more dialogue like this he’ll come around.
@@ST-ov8cm no there’s a fundamental difference in theology with Judaism and Christianity with Sin that is completely irreconcilable. Which is why you’ll see prominent Jewish Rabbis defend something like abortion or even pornography. Pay attention where he draws the line on accountability of the individual and where evil lies you’ll see
There’s a big difference between evil thoughts passing through one’s mind, and pausing to entertain said thoughts. To go out SEEKING ways to invoke these thoughts is evil. Dang I thought this was Christianity 101. Didn’t even think they needed to converse about it.
Oh.. but he's a jew. So it doesn't count. That only applies to Christians. He can plot out evil like he is fantasizing about a chess game and it is totally cool coz he didn't actually do anything. hahahaha
Exactly.
This guy can't even pause to think on Matt's point. A proud joke. Glad u called him out Matt and said it's despicable.
God bless you Matt for calling evil what it is! God cares about the heart
Surely if your religion does not condemn watching animated child pornography, it is not the truth.
He would say his religion doesn't condone it.
@@Veritas1234 He's not a rabbi, watch the clip of the rabbi who says Prager is wrong on his statement about porn and Judaism teaching on it.

Thoughts by themselves are what they are, but fantasies can absolutely be evil!
You're right. There's a huge difference between having a negative thought pop into your head and then pushing it aside, compared to having a fantasy in which you desire to do something evil and take pleasure in thinking about it. Prager doesn't seem to recognize that fantasizing about committing evil is in itself a bad thing.
When does a dirty thought become a mortal sin?
@@IONov990 when you actively decide to entertain it
For example, fantasizing about taking revenge (violent or otherwise) against someone you feel has wronged you, that is an evil.
@@IONov990 When you participate in the thought. You keep going after it and want it.
Thank you for calling him out! It is despicable!
What happens in our internal lives is very important. Frankly this realization is what's helped me go from being completely nihilistic to a God-fearing Christian.
It's not even entirely about how one behaves and acts following an internal sin that matters. Frankly I think men who watch a lot of porn aren't generally more rapey or even more promiscuous. Quite the opposite in fact - it seems more likely to make them impotent and uninterested in actual sexual partners or romance.
But the act of watching porn or masturbating is of course a sin. It makes you less virtuous, it denies God and the world the better version of yourself that you could have been.
What's going on in the individual internal lives of everybody in any community is so important and has a lot to do with how edifying or destructive the entire culture they're in becomes.
I'm surprised any other self styles conservative could think differently. Is solitary prayer good and important? Is that an "act" ? I suppose Praguer might say it isn't but he, I think, would be wrong.
We're way more connected than we even realize. If you're bringing more and more sin into your life, and thus into the lives of those around you, and the community, and the world - the effects that has are countless and hard to wrap our heads around. They are metaphysical, even. We can see, feel and experience this firsthand.
Surely that's why our Lord warned us against this sort of sin.
Good reflective thought. It's important to know and understand the things that happen in our hearts. First and foremost in my own heart.
Good for him calling it dispicable good for him man never cower on this to Prager or anyone.
Indulging in a fantasy in which you are committing an evil act is practicing for what you really want, which is to physically act out that evil itself. We are to flee from the very appearance of evil.
Idk how Matt kept his cool. I would have busted out a super soaker of Holy water halfway through this. Glory to God for giving Matt the poise and calmness to see this through
lol Yeah something like that.
Is that what you fre@ks call a c -- mshot??
The way Matt says "Yes, of course!" is so revealing of just how disturbing Prager's thoughts on porn are. It is despicable. No better word for it.
Who is behind porn? Who owns and funds it all? Read the Talmud
I commend you, Matt, for speaking with confidence about the truth of where evil begins, in our hearts. 👏 💯 God bless you and keep you.
I’ve been waiting for Dennis Prager to be questioned on his disturbing views on this topic. Thank you.
You can't hurt God.
Dennis: "You can't be evil if you thought evil".
Eze. 20:16: "because _they despised My judgments_ and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths; _for their heart went after their fathers' idols_ .
I wonder what Mr. Prager's thoughts are on violently anti-Semitic animation? What if it helps them to not act it out?
Good for you Matt for confronting him on this. I think his views on all of this are truly disturbing and I was horrified when I heard what he said with Jordan Peterson.
There's a difference between having a fantasy and acting upon it. Having a thought or desire to do something, and actually doing it are two different things. Yes, the person may not be doing it to another human being, but they are still giving into the desire which is sinful and evil. Rather than finding a healthy way to cope and overcome the desire, they are fueling it and encouraging the fantasy with the reward of any form of sexual release.
Its creepy to think, our neighbour fantasize our daughter with lusting in bis mind and heart. That don't only corrupt his soul, but also insulting to us. I think its clearly a sin in some level. To says its not as sin, is saying "imagining killing your parents" is not sin.
You were a gross, lusting bag of hormones in the view of your father-in-law at one point, dude. Grow UP.
I’m so glad you guys clipped this! I was just talking about this moment. Matt, you did tremendous last night. God bless you and all of the PWA family. I just ordered a copy of your book too! 🙏🏼
Why is this the hill Dennis Prager wants to die on
Because Jew
Because he does not want to be Christian. He finds our rules to be anti human. Ironically.
Because he has nudie mags at home like his papa?
Because once a Pharisee, always a Pharisee. But I have a feeling this is God's plan. Matt had to be the one to plant a seed. If Dennis is truly a Truth seeker, he will become Christian before his end. Dennis is self admittedly obstinate, so he might free will himself past the gates of hell. Wish he would see Covenant 1.0 for what it is, superceded (not irrelevant) by a greater Covenant 2.0 with everything in 1.0 and more!
uhhh...what's up with Prager on this porn issue? I admit that even though I'm Christian, I still struggle with porn, and it is quite possibly one of the biggest regrets in my life. Porn benefits virtually no one(probably other than the porn industry), and it can/will destroy you from the inside out.
Porn doesn't even benefit the industry really. They are basically prostitutes and pimps, even though the ppl involved don't view it that way.
It is more than a sin, it is evil and despicable...
Deuteronomy "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength".
Jesus adds: "and with all your MIND"
Unchecked disordered thoughts lead to disordered minds and possibly disordered actions.
There is a reason we defined masturbation as "self-abuse"
This is a more important video than people actually think it is. Especially for christian "conservatives".
"I won't call a fantasy evil."
Even if someone's fantasy is commiting horrendous crimes against your own family?
Just curious.
It’s absolutely evil.
Even if there’s no real person as the sex object, the animated person represents an actual person. This fantasy can’t be isolated to just cartoons. Certainly a person that enjoys seeing animated child porn will have evil and perverse thoughts about actual children. Clearly a person viewing these things has a twisted, sick soul. Thank you, Matt, for calling it despicable. This behavior cannot be encouraged. Period.
And don’t forget, our wider society also becomes a victim when the moral constitution of individuals is perverted
Be careful with your words. Yes, a person can have evil and perverse thoughts, but there's no such thing as an evil soul. God created the soul.
Be careful how you read. I didn’t say evil soul, I said sick soul. Absolutely a person can have a healthy soul and an unhealthy soul.
Wow! Matt YOU ARE A HERO! You are so brave!!! Bravo!!!
This exchange with Dennis Prager is absolutely bonkers! What on earth… Wow. Unreal. That dude needs serious prayers.
I just want to say, despite Dennis Prager’s regrettable position, I do appreciate the fact that he was willing to participate in a debate for the sake of discussion on a Catholic RUclips channel where he would obviously be completely flamed for his views.
This is going to have repercussions outside Catholic circles. Dennis has outed himself as a modern day Pharisee, concerned solely with the law and not the Spirit of God. He's trying to defend himself by applying a 70 year old definition of porn. Really??
Dennis Prager defending (hypothetical) loli pron. What a time to be alive 😂
Matt is so right here, Matt has the Biblical view
Yeah. Matt lives in reality.
I think you could have asked Dennis this question "consider these two options for a man who's attracted to children: 1. He could fantasize about doing something to children/watch animated child porn or 2. He could try to avoid fantasizing about doing things to children. Which option would make him more likely to abuse a child?"
Precisely.
2. Suppressing the urge might make them want to burst out
@@DManCAWMaster Alcoholics who seek and maintain sobriety have to suppress the urge to drink for the rest of their lives. They are much better people when they succeed and maintain self-control. There is such a thing as self-mastery no matter what vice is struggled with.
Thank you very much for defending the truth. This man in everything he has said is only trying to defend his fathers poor decision.
I really appreciate your rebuttal, the way the criminal justice system is, there has to be a victim and somebody has to be hurt and you're right both are being destroyed in slow motion!
Prager's tolerance of the depiction of sexual sin goes to show just how off, notable people can be.
Jewish*
As someone who was sexually by a man when I was 9 year old. I call it evil. Period!
I was like Gooooooo Mattttt!!!! Its so healing to society to hear men who follow Matt’s example
Thank you Matt for standing up for the truth
I'd love to see Prager comment on all the Christian hatred perpetuated by jews in Israel.
Nice, Matt! This has convinced to watch the whole discussion.
Denis Prager and Jordan Peterson have certainly gone down a notch or two in my view of their character based on the issue of pornography. They both are complete squishes on the topic. Praise God for Matt Fradd and the Catholic Church for taking the moral high ground on this topic.
"I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned *THROUGH MY THOUGHTS* and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do;..."
Thoughts can be sinful. That's why to covet what is not yours is already a sin (tho you haven't acquire it).
You'll notice Prager is a Jew, who doesn't pray the Confiteor
This says a lot about Prager. It's like he took it personally. God might be using Fradd to call out Prager.
interesting. there seems to be some kind of a wall, that non-baptized people cannot see or comprehend beyond.
I'd add a third person to your list Matt: the person's spouse or future spouse.
Porn damages someone's ability to love.
3 beings minimum are affected. God, the sinner and the artist. The sinner is not guaranteed to be married in the future.
The dark secret of the user will be guarded at all costs. The damage comes on many levels as the user values his addiction more than any person in his life. He will lie, cheat and steal to guard it and ensure he continues to have his access to it.
Thanks for making this clip available.
I share it with normie-cons who still think Dennis is the wise moral authority he pretends to be.
Evil always originates in the heart before it’s acted upon, even if it’s not acted upon the evil is still within the heart and corrupts it.
The question to ask him is if Drugs are evil.
Matt, I agree with you on that, well said. Thank you for standing up for the truth.
Credit must be given where it is due. Good job, Matt
Pornography is like a fire that engulf the whole building plus it great sin.
It is horrible. I have been sucked into the world of pornography. It has been 21 years and I find it difficult. I substitute erotic literature for visual porn
@@IONov990 It still is wrong wether it is being fed by words to give the Thought, as God himself talks to us by words in Holy Bible. I would say words are more powerful than One's Sight. As One's Sight can only see to a degree to engage where words will definitely go to.
@@delvingeorge2807 I know it is wrong. I wonder when I'll be fully free from this
@@IONov990 Remember, you are not alone in this fight. 🙏🏻 Peace of Christ Jesus be you. Prayers from India.
@@delvingeorge2807 I have to try. I have to believe I can break through. I have to believe that porn is unnecessary. Pray for me. I also struggle with laziness, gluttony, self pity, and entitlement
“Who is being hurt?” Seriously?
Good job, Matt. I've never heard of Dennis Prager before but he really needs prayers. That's a horrible view of his
God bless you, Matt. The Holy Spirit is strong in you.
Leave it to a Jew to defend child pornography. Thank you Matt for defending Goodness in this Evil world🙏
Just the fact that any type of child porn can be available, even if it’s anime, may spark an interest in someone previously oblivious. I personally know of people becoming interested in same sex encounters after viewing same sex porn.
I know this wouldn't be common ground with someone who rejects the Gospels as the Inspired Word of God, but this is immediately what came to mind:
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.
Matthew 5:27-30 RSVCE
The assertion that "you didn't do evil if you thought evil" makes absolutely no sense. If the action you're fantasizing about is evil, then the fantasy is inherently evil; for Our Lord taught us that "everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matt. 5:28).
Matt Fradd you make me glad because you stand up so boldly for the truth in front of hypocrisy
"I'm thrilled he's not acting it out. That's big."
As someone still struggling with lust who succumbs to porn, this quote sticks out to me. There is a certain nobleness in trying to keep your sin to yourself and not hurting other people. I could be going out sleeping with women personally and playing with their hearts, but I don't. It's still a dangerous desire that needs sanctification, but "give the devil his due" so to speak. One is clearly less evil, but again, both still desperately need sanctification.
As well, Prager made a good point about thoughts. I have many intrusive thoughts that disturb me and are completely opposite to my usual moral code. I would never act them out, and yet they still pop into my head. Why is this? I do not know. Again, perhaps it is underlying imperfection and the stain of sin that my brain twists these ways, but I would actually praise a person for having such an urge and refusing to act on that urge. Isn't that nobleness in its purest form?
Choosing to watch others' bodies for your own personal pleasure is not noble or selfless. It's actually technically selfish, and that does not produce betterment. Lot of interesting thoughts here. Turn to the Lord who loves you! ❤✝️
Well if it's actual porn and not animated then yes women are being used. As for intrusive thoughts, some may be demonic suggestions, some may be the flesh. If there is something you can't keep yourself from doing there is likely a spirit of addiction involved that needs to be repented of and renounced, often repeatedly. Frequent confession is a good step toward freedom and deliverance but I would encourage you to seek guidance on getting free and staying free from a priest, spiritual director, or lay deliverance minister. Porn opens doors to the enemy that need to be shut. Anyone in this situation should not go it alone. If you are married, please seek help asap. If you hope to be married one day, please seek help asap. As a person who has been deeply wounded in marriage by this issue, I beg you to not waste one moment. At the same time, I will pray that you will see 100 percent recovery and freedom one day!!
Prager is wrong. The person who watches it IS acting it out in their mind and heart.
Anyone whose ever struggled with addiction knows it ensnares
It is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of him, thus thoughts and fantasies are the source of evil, not the result of it. He has a loose sense of right and wrong, to say the least.
That's what a pro-choice person told me, " It doesn't hurt anyone, so why is it wrong." Well, abortion kills a child, and porn violates and hurts all true, holy beauty of womanhood. But, as the Bible says, if a man lusts in his heart, he has already committed adultery. In the end, it hurts your soul. Has anyone got me a list of sins that don't directly hurt people, but maybe indirectly. It all still hurts the soul. Witch Craft, Drunkenness, Indulging, excessive money, lying in certain circumstances, etc. If it doesn't hurt anyone you can physically see, it hurts your relationship with Jesus.
Thank you so much for calling DP out on his BS! His view is despicable and unconscionable. I'm so glad I found out the truth about him.
Matt is right here.
If anyone still respects or listens to Prager after hearing this then something is wrong with them.
Even though as a Christian I am generally on the side of the conservatives (or as they’re labeled “alt right” these days) in the culture war, it is in examples like this where I fundamentally disagree with the worldview and presuppositions of conservatives
Mr. Prager is wrong, there are studies about what brings people to hurtful behaviour.
Yeah, it leads to abuse if not stopped.
An evil thought is a prerequisite to an evil act.
I heard Victor Marx talking to Shawn Ryan about this episode on the Shawn Ryan Show and they agreed 100% with you as do I!
Totally with Matt on this one.
For those who are convinced there’s is such thing as “Judaeo-Christian” virtue, look no further. It’s Christ or chaos, take your pick.
Who the hell is making animated child pornography, they are SICK
Largely the Japanese. It’s a hyper sexualized society when it comes to accepting degeneracy. The concept of fornication and adultery is lost on most Japanese people today. A good example is how mainstream animation companies will make shows for kids and teens as well as pornography for adults. It wasn’t always like that, but they had no moral authority pushing back against it once the sexual revolution swept across the modern world.
The term "Judeo-Christian values" is an oxymoron.
Christianity is judaism for the "gentile". It is Pragers goal/sex fantasy for you to be a christian.
@@JosephSneep im not saying anything is the jewish, the christians are yet they are pretending to live out jewish myths. its like hipsters trying to be buddhist or something.
Prager is out of his mind in this clip!
Why in this clip? He’s always expressed similar views on lust etc. So, not just this clip, that’s who he is
@@zzc8505 yeah, maybe it’s just my ignorance about him as a person. I’ve always thought of him as fairly rational but this was such an irrational position to take.
@@cheeredenise well, that's what pied pipers do: they say a few good things to lure people and then insert their actual evil agenda, and his is to normalize what should never be normalized.
God bless you Matt, keep fighting the good fight!
