Charles Stanley. Run Time - 0:40 --------------------------------------
The teachings continue looping in the above order.
Our programming schedule often includes anointed men and women of God whom we respect and from whom we learn much. We do not necessarily agree, however, with every word they say, especially when it comes to using the word "Lord," which is an incorrect translation used in many versions of the Bible. (Why? Read more HERE)
We acknowledge that you need in some cases immediate answers of reassurance. Please know that you are being prayed for. When we receive news like some of you submit, it takes time for us deal with the shock and pain the losses cause us. Our prayer warriors prefer giving you answers gained through prayer and compassion rather than through emotions. Know that there are those who immediately begin praying for those faced with difficult situations. They wait to see who the Holy Spirit wants to respond to each individual. We thank you for your understanding and patience.

Re: Is Porn Your God? I do not think that porn can be a god, but I think that it can be very enjoyable to see and a pleasantness.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Karen,God does not deny that sin has pleasure associate with it. He speaks of the "pleasures of sin for a season" that Moses rejected for a greater, more lasting reward in the future and in the here and now as well. Any sin or addiction, including porn, can become a god. Anything that consumes our time, energies, or thoughts more than God is an idol before the true God and thus a god.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Pornography helps keep sex interesting in a marriage. I think that women perform better when they are compared with other women, and they use their imagination better. Why would God be opposed to that?

Re: Is Porn Your God? I used to be a porn star, and i can tell you that it was fun and everybody loved me then. Doesn't God want us to be happy?

Re: Is Porn Your God? Leslee,True love keeps sex interesting in a marriage. A husband who loves his wife like Jesus loves His bride, the church, and a wife who respects her husband the way the church respects and looks up to Jesus make for a sizzling sex life. The uniqueness of the relationship rather than the comparisons are what makes sex so satisfying in a godly marriage. You can have fun and pleasure outside of the parameters God has fixed, but you can't have the true joy of sex.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Rosealee,You mistook the lust you provoked with love. God does want us to be happy. But doing porn only makes multiple soul ties that make loving one man difficult, and it leaves us empty. God wants us to be more than happy. He wants us to experience a profound joy that only Jesus, not porn, can bring. We pray that you will find that joy.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Rosealee, Being a porn star caused you to become addicted to your emotions. This means that you have never known love from the time that you took up such activities. And this caused you to believe that arousing the emotions in men was a good time and a sharing that helped others. Yet a conflict exists in your heart because the emotions do not last and they make you feel cheap after the excitement. Seek Jesus and His fulness and then you can know a love that lasts for all eternity.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Have you noticed how quickly people who are involved with porn come to the defence of it? I wonder if those in the unforgiveness of the C-S condition also love porn?

Re: Is Porn Your God? Lloyd, Please forgive me if I have misspelled your name. I think it might have been altered by someones apple computor, as I have had that happen to me. A person that is addicted to porn, has so many soul ties, that they do NOT know who they are. The more insecure a person is in who they are as an individual, the more readily they will cling to pronography. And they will defend it with their life because the pleasures of that pron defines to them as who they are. Most men who rely on unforgiveness or the C-S condition, are very quickly subdued by this demon.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Benny, Porn is just as safe for men with high emotional, as using plastic explosives as a safe way to loss excessive weight. The consequencies are as good as a terminal case of rat poisoning.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Ian. When a person is not secure in who they are, they have to kling to something that they can get emotional excitement from and something that allows them to compare or to dominate. Where another person may fight back at being raped a picture or a movie cannot. You can let you imagination go wild and to the possible pleasures and torments that you can perform. And seeing a naked body activates the center of the brain that allows soul ties to form and the release of endorphines to over power the pain of not having what one is lust after.

Re: Is Porn Your God? I think that everyone likes a little porn every now and then. I think that people who go overboard with it are the ones that cause the troubles. God does not say, that we are not to be overly righteous?

Re: Is Porn Your God? Jessie,If our righteousness does not surpass that of the Pharisees, we are not walking in Jesus' righteousness, who tells us to become perfect like our Father, who hates sin, the biggies and the seemingly little ones, the little leaven that leavens the whole lump. "Being righteous over much is trying to be more righteous than Jesus in our own strength. It takes Jesus in us to overcome sin of any kind.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Jessie,Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 that whoever looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Paul tells us not to be deceived by empty words and that immorality or any impurity must not even be named among us, as is proper among saints (Eph. 5:1-18).

Re: Is Porn Your God? I think that people who get cursed by their parents are more prone to get into the porn trap. It is just how tho break it that I do not understand.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Our pastor says that hetrosexual porn is more acceptable to God than gay porn. But I thought that they were both bad because they uncover a persons nakedness. How do you see it?

Re: Is Porn Your God? We Frenchmen believe that the body was to be appreciated, and seeing a naked body allows you to appreciate the beauty that God blessed around us. Clothes just create a deception and grounds for falseness.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Yves,I lived among the Frenchmen in France and Quebec for so long that people think I am French because I speak it fluently. But I have lived long enough among them to see their lies, and this is one of them. God loves beauty, but He looks on the heart. He hates lust and perversion, which are of the devil, not Him. Looking at a beautiful naked body in lust does something to the mind. It alters the mind to where only Jesus can redeem what has been lost. We pray you will understand how God looks at beauty. He wants us to appreciate it without lusting after it. We can only do that through Him. Ask God for an appreciation of la beaute qui dure eternellement, the beauty that lasts eternally, the beauty and majesty of HIs character of love that has millions of times more reward than Satan's character of lust. Que Dieu vows benisse avec les pensees de Dieu. May God bless you with His mind and thoughts.

Re: Is Porn Your God? In bible study today we discused porn and the christian. Everybody thought that it was harmless entertainment. Even in Jerusalem they did river bathing and even roof top bathing so that people could see them. So why is it now wrong?

Re: Is Porn Your God? Annamae,God makes no distinction in His Word regarding comparing gay porn with heterosexual porn. He says not to compare, and when we compare we are not wise. Sounds like your pastor may be trying to justify a personal sin.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Lucele,Being a porn star is not God's idea of holiness. Even watching porn alters the mind in a negative way that can only be redeemed by Jesus. How much more mind altering would being an actual porn participant as an actor be.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Steve,That's a curious term for your meeting, "Bible study." Have any of you read what God says about lust, about looking at a woman in lust being adultery? And regarding roof top bathing, do you remember the example of David watching a naked Bathsheba bathing on the rooftop, lusting after her, thus committing adultery, and then completing the sin with the physical act? Why is it now wrong? Because it has always been wrong in God's eyes, and anybody who really reads and studies the Bible rather than sitting around spouting off their own ideas about the Bible would know it is wrong.

Re: Is Porn Your God? Out Assistant Pastor always talks about unusual subjects at the bible study that he runs. Porn was just one of them. I have always been convinced that there is something wrong with it. But I submitted the question to find out if the bible could somehow be justifying it. Could pornography be so popular today because people do not want to get close to Jesusand have Him fill up their needs and emptiness?

Re: Is Porn Your God? Steve,Yes, people are seeking pleasure more than Jesus today as Paul prophesied. They are filling up their emptiness with more emptiness.

Re: Is Porn Your God? When my father died two years ago my mom gave me all his stuff. I started openning boxes of stuff and I discovered that my father had a porn collection of over 20,000 items. Should I sell this stuff or give it away?

Re: Is Porn Your God? Bonny, anytime that a husband has to threaten his mate to have sex, means that the act is done to rape the mate and not show love or acceptance. Porn is most often at the root of their reasonings as to why they should rape another. You are in a very undafe relationship, Find another place to reside until he gets help.

Re: Is Porn Your God? I had a vision of myself being worth 100's of million of dollars that I earnt as a pronography baron. Do you think that this vision could have come from Jesus to show me where His plans for my prosperty would come from?

Re: Is Porn Your God? My husband live for his porn mags and shows. I resented having to live with him and have sex with him because I knew it was not me he wanted. Pron is a killer and destroyer of marriages and everyone needs to know it.
