    I’m filled with selfishness and lust to feed my carnal desires. Sorry mom, sorry dad, sorry neighbor, sorry friend, because everytime I look at porn I’m choosing to feed my desires over loving you. I’m choosing myself and my pleasure over others.
    Forgive me God for my sins, for my weakness, for my selfishness, for sacrificing my love to other so to indulge in selfishness, which only serves to destroy me.
    May you lord fill me with love, so that I can exit this trap from the demon and fill my spirit with love once more.

    I agree porn is bad! however porn/masturbation addiction or not is a symptom of the loneliness epidemic that is so pervasive today! The way people, even Christians slam doors in people’s faces and cut off hands of friendship leaving each other to pornography is itself appalling and needs to be addressed. Only then will porn whither away! The Church got the organization to help but does very little with it! Unless you are already married, the elderly, or women there’s little out there in such a large world wide organization like the Church!Most people, including Christians, are too narcissistic to make friendships anyways! The Church dropped the ball on that too! These major problems the Church refuses to address makes their rightful condemnation of porn ring so hollow! Very sad indeed!

  • @jacob6515
    @jacob6515 2 месяца назад +3

    Great video brother. ❤. Just as a side note, I think there's a cathartic effect that porn has in our culture where marriage is not idealized, and being perpetually bf and gf is idealized, and even if you marry, the husband is idealized as being a bumbling idiot who doesn't really know his wife. And I understand porn is inherently bad, but I think people need to emphasize how it's factually bad too. There might be "good" porn lines, but they're always delivered badly. You can't have sex all day with a stranger in front of other strangers, looking at a camera, and be deeply convincing of your love for that person. So it's just factually icky when these pornstars do or say things. But in our culture imo, there's a cathartic effect of porn that won't go away until marriage is set back where it belongs.

    • @anomos1611
      @anomos1611 2 месяца назад +1

      "scientific evidence" in the context of naturalistic sociology is not sufficiently basic to frame The Good. Sexual purity may not lead to happiness in the utilitarian, self-affirming sense of the modern therapeutic regime. Modern medicine, particularly with regards to mental health, works within a system in which such a question could never even be answered except in broad generalities: according to survey results, it works for some people and not others, etc. We can only know and be conformed to our final end, the Good, our ultimate felicity, if we look beyond that which will perish. We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. It is not only problematic, but impossible, to answer the question "what is good?" only within the frame of scientific inquiry inquiry for this reason. There is no internally coherent account to be made that a "util" is good, or even what a "util" is in the first place without first exiting the empiric frame. Insofar as sexual purity is an outgrowth of our being conformed to The Good, that is God, it will satisfy us more completely and perfectly than we could ever hope. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

      I am commenting on the self awareness one can lack when you are deeply entrenched in the pornography paradigm. Prayer is an essential requirement for this but I believe prioritizing your prayer for another when you are in the same position may further obfuscate your own understanding of how far you have fallen.

Actual historical idolatry as practiced by near eastern paganism which the bible condemns was treating images, often statues, of the gods as their bodies. The pagans would undergo rituals of "opening the nostrils" of the statue to make a body, or idol, of their deity. Then, by cleaning, clothing, and offering sacrifices for the idol they would gain favor with that deity which would have to fulfill their desires. It was a form a magic utilized over spirits which, ironically, actually was the means of the false gods i.e. demons to control them.
