To: Come get it
Jesus also said he did not come to save the righteous, but to save SINNERS. Sometimes to save sinners, you have to get down in the muck with them.

Hey, if someone hadn't gotten in the muck with me, I wouldn't be here.

You all make a good point, and I stand corrected to a degree. Maybe Jesus would have gone there, but that is because He is not in danger of getting sucked into the trap and becoming a sinner Himself. He commands us (sinners, who are NOT God) that we should not set any evil thing before our eyes, we should not place ourselves in any situation that would lead to temptation, and we should avoid all appearance of evil. He says these things because He knows it is in our nature to sin and we cannot hold up against these things like He can.

You can't tell me that being in a place like that (good intentions or no) will not cause even the most devout Christian to commit sin with his or her mind. I'm not saying that these men are secretly indulging in porn; I believe that their intentions are good. I think that they are opening themselves up to a world of harm. I will be praying for them.
