Chapter 2: Sins or Not?
Pornography
1. It’s adultery.
Adultery consists of sexual intercourse outside the bonds of marriage. God has always expressed His indignation there. The Bible clearly states that adulterers will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. If you miss the Kingdom of God, you will not escape from hell. (And no matter how much technology advances, hell will not have air conditioners. It is crying and gnashing of teeth for all eternity).
In pornography, these people are not married to each other, what they are doing is adultery. God is not there, it’s impossible for God to be there. As nature has the horror of emptiness, since the Spirit of God is not there, it is the spirit of evil that controls. Pornography is demonic.
Moreover, it is not only these actors and actresses who are adulterers, but anyone who looks at this is also an adulterer.
This is what the Lord Jesus Christ says about this: You have heard that it was said to those of old, “You shall not commit adultery”. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:27-28/New King James Version)
The Lord begins first by recalling what was said in the law given to Moses. We can read it in Exodus 20:14 and Deuteronomy 5:18. In the law of Moses, the act had to be done for the person to be found guilty. Even though evil is already conceived and accepted in the heart, as long as one did not act, there was no way to be found guilty. But the Lord Jesus Christ says that from the moment the desire to sin is already accepted and consumed in the heart, we have sinned.
What happens with an individual who looks at pornography is that he implicitly enters into a sexual relationship with these “actors and actresses” in his thinking. How does this happen? Because of the sexual fantasy that the individual represents. For example, a gentleman who looks at pornography will inevitably have sexual desires turned towards that pornographic actress he is seeing on stage. Thus, in order to enjoy sex, the man will represent this pornographic actress or another woman in his thoughts and will see himself spending the sexual act with her. It is by doing this that the Lord says that the man who looks at pornography has already committed adultery with this virtual prostitute in his heart, because deep down he desires sexually a woman who is not his own, besides she is a prostitute. Every time you look at a pornographic scene and you desire that woman you see, you commit adultery with her in your heart. Every time you masturbate with thoughts toward those women whom you have seen in pornographic movies, you commit adultery with them in your heart.
The spiritual reality is that you enter into a sexual relationship with them in your thoughts. These pornographic actresses are prostitutes. Since you sexually unite with them in your thoughts, you then become one flesh with them. According to it is written, “Do you not know that he who unites with the prostitute is one body with her? For it is said the two will become one flesh” 1 Corinthians 6:16.
By uniting yourself in thought with this pornographic actress who is a prostitute, she also transmits her seed to you because you become bone of her bones and flesh of her flesh. Those seeds of which I speak are demonic spirits, demons of fornication. Another danger that you may be unaware of is that not all the pornographic actresses that you see in those films are still alive. Some of them that you see are already dead. When you start looking at the nudity of a woman who has already died and you masturbate while having fantasies about her, do you see how cursed you are? When you unite sexually in thought with a woman who is already dead, in reality it is not with her that you commit adultery, rather with a demon. You will be possessed by demons by dint of doing so!Behind these bodies of lust are demons filled with hatred for the human race, especially us who believe in Jesus Christ.
You also commit adultery in your heart with any other woman you covet sexually. When you build up an imaginary world in which you see yourself with women, whoever they are, the Lord says that you commit adultery.
What I have just said also applies to any woman or girl who watches pornography and masturbates with fantasies that are turned to men.
A young girl once told me how she fell into pornography. She said it all started when she first watched a lesbian video. She thought, since they are women, she can watch without any problem. What she didn’t know is that when you open a door to an evil spirit, it calls out to others. Just because you’re a woman, you can’t afford to look at another woman’s nudity, otherwise look at your mother’s nudity. You sin!
Another dimension of the sin into which the person who looks at pornography falls is that he/she approves the acts of those who do evil. He/she thus becomes an enemy of God. And… one day the Lord will punish all his enemies.
2. That’s fornication.
Apart from being an adulterer, a person who looks at pornography and enjoys doing it is a sexually immoral person. There is no purity in him because he looks at things that offend modesty. And the Bible tells us that sexually immoral persons will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9).
In addition to this, in pornography there is a practice called sodomy (sexual act with ■■■■ penetration, that means instead of having sex naturally, the man introduces his penis into the anus of the woman or another man). It is a practice that comes from the city of Sodom (see Genesis 19:5-8). It is because of such practices that the Lord destroyed the inhabitants of that city by fire. And the LORD sent burning sulfur down like rain on Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 19:24). In the same way, God will punish these pornographic actors and actresses, and all those who approve of these things, unless they repent of their deeds. If you don’t want to be among those who will drink the cup of the wine of the wrath of God, then repent and decide to forsake these things now and today. The Scriptures say, “If you hear his voice today, don’t be stubborn like those who rebelled.” Hebrews 3:15
When Lot told his sons-in-law that the city of Sodom would be destroyed, they thought he was joking. (Genesis 19:14) For taking these warnings as jokes, they perished in the fire.
It is in the same way that those who indulge in these things take God’s warnings as jokes, but there will be a day when fire and burning dust will come down on them and they will no longer have time to escape God’s punishment. There will be a Day when it will be too late to repent. The second after your death!
The Lord Jesus speaking about these cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, says that if these cities had been evangelized as we are today, they would have repented of their sins. Since we benefit from the words and revelations that they didn’t hear, and some of us do not want to change their lives, the Lord says that they will be punished more than Sodom and Gomorrah. Luke 10:1-12
Pornographic actors and actresses, the producers of these films, and all those who enjoy watching them, will be punished more than Sodom and Gomorrah. This is a promise of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am not talking here about those who are willing to give up but who lack strength, I am talking about those who have made sin their lifestyle, also to Christians who make no effort to get out of these prisons.
3. It’s prostitution and fornication.
To prostitute is to have sex for pay, to sell sex. In pornography, that’s exactly what is done. These men and women sell sexual services, they are paid to have sex with each other. That is prostitution. It is also fornication because it does not take place within marriage. Then it is clear that it is a sin because God is neither behind prostitution nor behind fornication. The one who drives people to prostitution and fornication is satan. Pornography is a sexual deviation inspired by the devil.
