Here are some guidelines:
15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after
that which is good for one another and for all people.
16 Rejoice always;
17 pray without ceasing;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not quench the Spirit;
20 do not despise prophetic utterances.
21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;
22 abstain from every form of evil.
Follow these guidelines and you'll be worthy of Heaven without help from Jesus.
Otherwise, you need some forgiveness.

No wait, I'm not sure if you got what I meant.
It is a sin. No matter how people justify it, it is a sin. What is your intention and motive in watching it?

It's pure lust from the flesh.
The other sex is reduced to an object of lust to be subdued with your 'part'.
Love has nothing to do with it.
Yet, God created the sheer beauty of nudity as portrayed in porn.
But it is meant to be for a married couple, not to get off on by means of pictures / video.
But who can change his / her easily triggered excitements?
Prayer and some discipline certainly help.
It's difficult...

No i don't think so, because it's supposed to be out of love between 2 people, not to get off on as a third person.

You don't eat a peacock until it's cooked.
Yes. All porn, regardless of what it is, is driven by lust and is sinful.

Well, the same Greek word that is used in Mat.5:28 where Jesus says not to look at a woman to lust after her is the same Greek word that is used to say that Jesus desired to have the passover meal with his disciples. Seems to me the 1st is about sin and the second is about fellowship.

So your making a distinction .... I thought you felt all lust/desire was sin .. The Greek word can be translated both ways ...
Its further interesting to note that Jesus is talking about the 10 commmandments and when Paul uses this word he is quoting the command to not covet ones' neighbor's wife or goods.

Look, it's rather straight forward.
With porn your eyes lust for a person you're not married to, which is adultery, just as Christ explained.
So it is a sin.
Therefore a Christian shouldn't be watching porn.

God created the world with temptations, then sent His son to be tempted just as we are tempted, and He sinned not. Is it a sin then to succumb to temptation? Yes.
However..."He who is without sin..."
And let us not forget that God has masterfully included darkness and sin in the world in a way that serves His purpose. And while we should not love evil more than good and be consumed, are we not consumed already? Pray therefore, that just as we have fallen and are guilty of all manner of sin daily, that we are raised up and saved from these evil times.
