It’s God curse upon the wicked Sodomy & Gonorrhoea lifestyle of the Godless. They don’t have to be in porn to be cursed as such.
There's a huge cost to watching porn, and it has nothing at all to do with HIV.
Yep, its the soul
Remember the curse is not on people it is on the lifestyle and the behavior and the spirit of those who get into it and stuff
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
In a different life, I routinely watched porn, thinking nothing of it. But I no longer see through a glass drakly. I recognize that those of us who watch porn support an industry that defiles young women. If we count ourselves Christ followers we should desist.
Watching porn destroys one’s soul. Porn is all about lust, not love! Lust and love are most certainly NOT the same thing. Porn destroys families, children and parents. It destroys love and trust within the family, hardening hearts and singeing souls, potentially trapping porn watchers in the depth of sin and cutting them off from God, ultimately the Deciever’s objective.
God created sex as an amazingly pleasurable act between MARRIED COUPLES, where LOVE is the motivation. Sex outside of marriage (be it physical adultery or watching porn) slowly, though sometimes quickly, sears and destroys one’s soul. Please, research the phrase ‘soul tie’. Also, check out some of the ‘Links’ to sermons on my profile page.
A + B = C.
Attitude + Behavior = Consequence
I don't know if I go so far to say that a particular disease is God's judgment upon the porn industry, or anyone in particular for that matter.
What I would say is that the effects of sin is the consequence of their attitudes against a holy and just God, just as sin is in the lives of each and every one of us.
Sin is all around us. It's the consequence of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. It permeates our very existence. The entire world feels the effects of it. Even if this young lady comes to grip with the magnitude of what she has done and how her attitude and behavior have resulted in her acquiring this dreadful disease, she will still have to deal with the consequences.
I hope my point has not been lost on anyone. We all have to be mindful of that formula and never forget it's lesson. Bad attitude and/or bad behavior will result in bad consequences, but good attitude AND behavior will result in good consequences.
But until we get to glory, let's not say that a particular disease is "God's judgment" upon the porn industry until we hear it from God Almighty Himself.
“In a different life, I routinely watched porn, thinking nothing of it. “
Me too, back when the internet was new. Now, I just find it pedantic, repetitive and boring. A real waste of time.
Romans 3:23 - Thanking God that I haven’t received what I deserve.
I disagree with the notion that HIV is God’s curse upon the Porn Industry. If an innocent child is diagnosed with cancer, is that God’s curse as well?
Unless she repents, goes to Confession, and amends her ways, thus forgiven by God.
Words of absolution said by the priest:
1449 The formula of absolution used in the Latin Church expresses the essential elements of this sacrament: the Father of mercies is the source of all forgiveness. He effects the reconciliation of sinners through the Passover of his Son and the gift of his Spirit, through the prayer and ministry of the Church:

I could've sworn that Louis Ferrakhan claimed that the CIA developed it to kill blacks. Now it only strikes porn stars, hmmm.
There are most certainly consequences from lifestyle choices, but doing porn DOES NOT condemn one to hell.
Rejecting the saving grace of Jesus Christ condemns one to hell.
This young woman might still come to know and trust in Jesus and the angels will rejoice the same as they do anyone else.
The CIA also invented crack to kill-off the blacks, too, didn’t they?
According to Calypso Louie, she probably should sue the CIA.
“Romans 3:23 - Thanking God that I havent received what I deserve.”
I do that damn near every day.
I do not assign credit or blame for disease to God. Saying that it is within God is one thing, asserting that he rewards or punishes with it is something else indeed.
It is called Vanity. Taking on oneself the authority to define God. It is the greatest of sins.
God did not create HIV. And He rarely uses disease to punish the sinful (which includes all of us). But when a community shakes its fist at the Almighty, like the porn community, He very well may use disease (or pestilence)to punish the defiant sinners.
