Pornography: Is It Harmless?
Far from taking a superficial and naïve view of reality, Jesus pointed out that the man who lusts after a woman is his heart, is engaged in doing something that is very evil (Matthew 5:28). 2. The Bible enlightens us and makes us realize that what we allow into our minds has a tremendous amount of influence upon our lives. What is harbored in the heart determines what and who we become (Matthew 15:18-19; Mark 7:20-23). 3. Instead of freeing or liberating an individual, pornography actually enslaves a person to their own selfishness. Those who have given free rein to their lusts, know the misery, frustration, disappointment, and bondage which pornography breeds (Titus 3:3; Ephesians 2:1-3). There is hope for the person who is addicted! And remember, the judgment of God also falls upon those who give their consent, encouragement and support to those who engage in things which are sinful (Romans 1:32).
