Sharing Something

[cedric1200]

I would like to share with you about something.

But the more I spend time with God, the more I am understanding sexual sin. God created our bodies to live in through his Son, Jesus. But he can not live in a body that is immoral.

I have struggled with sin in that area with my thoughts along with gay porn. And you know what men do when they look at porn. I am just afraid to mentioned it. But I still don't act on my desires with another person. But still Jesus said in Matthew I think 7:25 it is still adultery to look at a woman lustfully (But in my case men).

What is my point? God is showing me that sexual sin is not just wrong but it's abuse on our bodies. When my sister was a little girl we suspect that she was molested and we think that she liked it. Even though she liked it, it was still abuse. And looking at people lustfully is abusing them. Say that you were giving a power the day to read people's thoughts. And there was a man or woman that lived next door to you who is attracted to your wife or husband, or even attracted to you. But never acts on it and never talked to you. Yet, everytime you walked by him or her, she or he had gross thoughts about your wife, daughter, husband, or son; you would probably want to have him or her arrested.

Everytime I look at porn I am abusing people God made, even though they may like it. Everytime I (please forgive me) self-stimulate to gay porn, I am abusing and molesting myself. My body was made for God, so that he can live in me.

This is probably obvious to a believer. But it is new to me.

I admitted my sin. Please don't condemn me. I already know that my sin is already condemned. And I know I deserve hell because of my sin.

I just need prayer.

This type of thing is much more prevalent than you might care to imagine. However, if I were you, I would get rid of the porn. Immerse yourself in more constructive pursuits. The only way to get rid of a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit.

So, I pray that the God of everything pure and righteous will cleanse your heart and your mind and show you a more perfect way.

GET RID OF THE PORN!!!

Good advise.

I know that I can't continue to sin and then expect to make it into heaven.

Will pray for you, Cedric. You aren't the only one - by FAR not the only one - to have done that when looking at porn, whether homo or heterosexual in nature. It takes a lot of guts to admit you have that sin, even if over the Internet where likely you won't meet any of us face to face. Surely you are not condemned, by us or by God (and our opinions do not matter on that, anyway). God loves you and will help you through this.

You are more importantly abusing your heart, because the heart is what God is interested in. You are also abusing your mind because your mind is where you express the desires of your heart. And as you said, you are also abusing your body.

I'm not saying this to condemn you or make you feel bad. But it is important to know how both spiritual things and carnal (sinful) acts work.

It's starts in our hearts. As a desire of our heart, it then manifests in our minds as a thought/ concious desire, then there is an act or action (such as watching porn and self -stimulation - from your example).

If you can stop it in the heart or in the mind. That is best, never letting it get to the point of an action.

Praying for you.

Thank you. That was very helpful.
