I think I will advice you not to read too much ethical advice from scripts written by men 2-3000 years ago. Instead; think for yourself. Be sceptical, think and reflect. The thought that "Since the Bible doesn't have reference to it, then it is allowed" is especially dangerous. It could have disastrous consequenses. Let me take an example:

The Bible does not say anything about burning fossil fuels into the atmosphere. So then it is "allowed". Simple as that, isn't it?

However, even Bible readers cannot escape the laws of physics. And these laws are crystal clear: Burning of fossil fuels cause global warming and the man-made climate crisis we are now experiencing. So even if the Bible doesn't explicitly mention it, we should not do it.
 
If u have to ask this question , such an easy , obvious , straight to the heart question 🥴 if u really don't know the answer to this , how r u gonna b in God's Kingdom ? We shall judge nations , b kings and priests , guide the humans that r left into the Truth . How u gonna do that if u don't know the answer to this question ?

Well, as an European, I have to ask: What is a "tier 1 leftist" ?

It’s like a new leftist that came out of school.
Like a high schooler basically.
I like you. You sound very basic.
You haven’t even finished university and then your masters degree to sound like a sophisticated leftist yet so you have a long way to go brother.
Welcome aboard and here’s some coffee. :coffee:

This sounds like a simple rule technique from you. Your attempt to mock me doesn't impress me, and it should not impress anyone else. Maybe a guy like Mr Trump would smile at your attempt, but that's all you get. Enjoy your coffee.

I’m not looking for a date buddy.
I’m giving you my rating whether you like it or not.
You’re on a public forum.
 
every time I see a post about sex i get the feeling that someone, not you, just wants some satisfaction talking about sex for a moment. ABSOLUTELY NOT, NO pornography in any circumstance. the great gift of romance is to be enjoyed IN MARRIAGE ONLY, & THAT'S FINAL, FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!

I have a porn addiction. It started when i was like 9 when i found my dads porn magazines. I had to see more and more and stole magazines from stores. It went worse and worse from regilar porn to illegal porn. Sometimes i dont watch few days but then im hooked again. I pray for relief and forgiveness.

You & I are exactly alike. You aught to start by renouncing what's perverse. Gradually turn your mind towards the things that would less & less condemn you, like from the filthy stuff to passive nudity, until your interest in it becomes small, and you stop seeking it any more.
Strictly renounce the filthy and perverse stuff, saying with your soul along the lines of "that is bad". Even when the desire overcomes you, don't seek them out; just go for the less offensive stuff, and turn.

We become what we place our focus on, keeping Christ in the picture frame of the mind will never allow the devil in.
In Christ we will be triumphant, every one of us.

Pornography is generally restricted on most platforms because it can expose users—especially minors—to explicit content that may be harmful or inappropriate.

I believe the subject can be classified as self-stimulation. One might see it as similar to alcohol. For many it can reach addictive proportions. It is a little different in that there is an undercurrent of a biological drive.

I'm not married so I gave my urges to God and He took them away! The Holy Spirit's power is quiet but it's been stronger than any of my habitual sins. I also stopped smoking this way too and haven't touched a cigarette in over 25 years!

Please help pray for me do that I can also quit smoking. I stopped 5 months ago. Due to heavy stress load of my studies at University and intense family issues I started smoking this week again. I plan on not smoking this week. I'm praying that God restore my strength and give me the strength not to smoke ever again, no matter what stress comes my way.

I don't believe there is any reference to pornography or sexual images in Bible, so then, maybe it is allowed. A similar word, fornication, is in the Bible. However this word is broad (vague) and means "sexual immorilty", it is unclear then if pornography/sexual images/videos are included under this team. With a lot of Christians believing masturbation is allowed, it is natural then to think that the most common aid to masturbation may also be allowed? What are people, especially singles, to do with the sexual urges? Thoughts? I always thought I knew the answer, but perhaps I am wrong?

Yes it is but I'm forgetting which of the prophets mentioned it.

But where fornication and adultery are wrong it mentions that listing over pictures was a mental illness ND even more perverted than the actual sin of illicit sex itself.
 
Well I would have thought that it would be an absolute NO to watching Pornography; Because didn't JESUS say that we shouldn't be doing any lusting?! Well, this is just my opinion anyway.
