why are some of you seeming to be on the defensive?
she isnt attacking any of you, shes just asking a question.
i dont think she looks down on men becuase of their struggle, she just wants to learn more about it.
i dont think all men struggle with lust and porn like others do, theres no reason to say that all men must be this way.
though i do agree that sexual temptation is a grave danger to men, maybe more than women but that im not so sure of.
paul said in 1st corinthians that it was a good thing for a man to not touch a woman, but for every man for have a wife lest they be tempted. and he said he understood that not everyman had the gift of "continency" that he had. paul had a self control that not everyman had. diffrent people have diffrent struggles.
but also, paul was a man of God and if he had not been this would have been diffrent.
when the overwhelming magority of men are bound in sin as paul was not, then the magority of men will certainly be struggling with lust. only when men become men of God and overcome sin, will we see the diffrences in people who are tempted with lust and those who are not.
i am not tempted by pornography. but if i was to run from God and go back to a life under the power of sin, then i would be led my fleshly appetite to all kinds of sin.
and when i am walking rightly with God, i am not in subjection to lust becuase i am full of his spirit that changes me into the image of the glory of God.
i am tempted with lust, but i am by no means unable to overcome it. becuase as paul said in 2nd cor "we always triumph in christ!"
when men become men of God and are changed by the holyspirit into the image of the glory of God, from glory to glory. then you certianly can find men who are not defeated by lust or pornography. it is not the will of God that men be like mongrels who are led around by their animal appetites.
there is a Spirit change that can and must take place, where we are changed into the image of the glory of God.
