Satan, and this evil central socialist government, has its claws in our families and is tearing apart our society. It all happend so slowly a little at a time. We need to turn back to prayer and God praying that this nation will return to the values that are not only pleasing to God, but will result in happy, well=adjusted families.

Magazines, tv commercials...food, cars, shampoo, toothpaste...you name it. Everything is about sex. We have become so desensitized..drip by drip.
Indeed, evil is rampant.

The thing I wonder is teen kids these days have their noses stuck in thier “phones” they aren’t just texting they aren’t just facebooking...

I have noticed that they get MAD if you tell them to put the “phone” down and communicate with the family or friends...

Porn is addicting and if you can’t get your “jones” you tend to get grumpy.. that’s all I’m saying.. Josh McDowell is prolly onto sumpin.

Yup. I've seen ads for vibrators on TV. Within five years, we're going to be swamped with TV ads showing homos buying wedding rings, buying furniture for their apartment, etc.

You’ve got it backwards.

It’s Christianity that’s a threat to porn.

That is an excellent statement: “It’s Christianity that’s a threat to porn.”

Swap out “porn” and replace it with any sin. Thanks for a powerful truth for contemplation this morning.

Real Christianity is the most powerful force in the world today.

American followers of Churchianity are going to have to wake up to their gross apostasy and get with the program.

You’re absolutely right. Porn ended my 20 year marriage. I couldn’t even stand to hug my husband after a while because he so grossed me out. They get abusive when their hopped on porn all the time, too.

In a way, porn is a chemical addiction (an addiction to those chemicals released into the pleasure center of the brain when one is aroused by porn).

Christianity is most likely the only way to break that addiction. The reason for this is that Christianity reveals the addiction and its destructive ways...and then offers the means of liberation from that Satanic trap (Christ's offer of Salvation and Liberation from sin).

The problem is much much worse than this.

Young people are not only exposed to it, but many are putting up pictures of themselves.

Don’t know about its being one of the greatest threats to Christianity, but to true Christians, it certainly would be a threat to one’s own purity (condition) and godliness (living) in the sight of our Lord. Seems to me that porn is a greater threat to those who are under Satan’s domain, tightening the grip that sin already has on the unbeliever.

Seems to me that the love of money (idolatry) is the root of all sorts of evil, as the Bible says, porn being one of the “all sorts of evil.”

Although it may seem like the “god of this world” is winning, that is not the truth. Revelation 12:7-12 describes his being thrown down to the earth at the end time and Revelation 20:1-3 & 7-10 describe the events leading up to and including his end. Until then the Bible says that sin and lawlessness will increase on the earth.

What should the Christian do? It’s on an individual basis: Confess and forsake sin, evil of all kinds, no matter how “small” the sin may seem. Flee from idolatry. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Be on the alert. Proclaim the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to this world of darkness. Yes, you will be persecuted and hated for doing so...increasingly so, as we are today witnessing. Our home is in heaven and He will come for us in His perfect timing. And an end is coming and the King of kings and Lord of lords is coming, described in Revelation 19:11-16.

What should the unbeliever do? Believe the truth—the gospel, the “good news” of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. He died to set people free from the bondage of sin, from death, and from the devil.

There is a life to live that honors God and His Christ, and God will empower us to live that life through His Holy Spirit, who is given to every person who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. That life is lived through our faith (believing Him and His words) and in the power of the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers permanently. We have been granted all things in Christ! Look up, believers! He is coming!

You’re right, Rooster.

The development of porn in one’s brain is almost exactly what creates a homosexual or lesbian.

Yep.

In fact some psychiatrists have suggested that homosexuality is really nothing more than a type of sexual addiction (one that started in some cases in pre-adolescence...i.e. before clear gender/sexual identification).
