How to overcome Lust and Pornography (Part 2)

[MrMfloor]

I find that Mark is a very smart guy. He explains things very well.

[thekenny1175]

@lovejesustv Please do not blaspheme the name of the Lord, even if you abbreviate.

[Mystie815]

Mark is very wise.

[cecilbh]

who in the blue hell would ever want to "overcome" pornography???

[BATTY3459]

@cecilbh People who know it's sinful & want to honor God in their lives. 

[thekenny1175]

@cecilbh Hell isn't blue. Hell is Black, and is described by the Bible as a Lake of Fire where people who watch pornography will burn for all of eternity. Liars also go to Hell. Thieves go to Hell. Murderers, Sorcerers, and Idolators go to Hell. Fornicators and Adulterers go to Hell. People who have ever broken these laws go to Hell. People like you... needgod.com

[cecilbh]

@thekenny1175 yeah. right. keep on trying your damnedest to suppress your basic animal urges for a repressive, lunatic, fear-based culture that denies scientific fact and bases all of its decisions on superstition and the words of thousands of years old, fallible men. if that's the path to avoid hell, then I'll stay on the elevator all the way to the bottom floor. plus, I really dig being a sorcerer... you feel me? couldn't give it up if I try.

[digifreak10101]

I feel like you're really not ready for a relationship unless you're not looking for one. If you are, you're probably not ready.

When it comes to relationships with married people, I would say think of them as a brother or sister.

[pugandspencer1]

start praising GOD loudly and the feeling will flee!

[MyGodMyKing]

there are also some good vids on how to overcome lust and pornography on the channel 'illbehonest' by Tim Conway and James Jennings

[czeks88]

I jacked off while watching this.

[RasheemH]

@czeks88 Then your probably a homosexual.. or just a troll.. :/ either way you need to repent o_o

[IELTSExamination]

To those struggling with this issue - go forward in faith - the Israelites did it at the Red Sea and conquered by God's power - overcome this sin by the power of God through Jesus' blood.

[10cannons]

Amen! Great episode guys. God bless

[DarwinsOtherTheory]

wow, christian dating sounds terrible.

[XxRushx]

@DarwinsOtherTheory I know right? Actually getting to know one another and not just a physical attraction? It's 2011 and that is so weird :p

[DarwinsOtherTheory]

@XxRushx Are you implying that only christians get to know each other? or that physical attraction doesn't play a huge part in the relationship?

I don't know, maybe christians would love a date in a bible study, or not kissing before marriage, but to everyone else it would suck.

[TheJdecka]

@DarwinsOtherTheory it sounds crazy to me, if you cant even be friends with a women and cant controll yourself thats bad...i have a few women that are my friends and its not a problem...i guess christians cant controll themselves at all lol what a shame....

[thekenny1175]

@DarwinsOtherTheory That's because you are a child of the devil. needgod.com

[DarwinsOtherTheory]

@thekenny1175 Sorry, I'm immune to bad arguments.

[thekenny1175]

@DarwinsOtherTheory I'm not arguing, I'm explaining. If you find the Christian lifestyle abhorrent, it is because you are not a child of God. You have not been born again (by repentance and faith in Jesus) and so you remain a child of Satan because of your sins. You desire to be unholy because you are spiritually dead in your sins. The Bible says you are an enemy of God, and his wrath abides on you. So please repent and trust Jesus today so you don't have to burn in Hell!

[DarwinsOtherTheory]

@thekenny1175 I meant the arguments made on that site, although yours are not much better.

By the way I don't find the christian lifestyle abhorrent, I just said christian dating sucks, the rest of your comment is assertions without evidence so I won't even bother.

[MrJimmybgood]

thank you for this advice i fight with this everyday and it will kill you. we need to be accountable to some one more so if we are single. find some one you can trust and become accountable to him or if you are a women another women. women lust to. read the word of god and aply it to your heart god will do the rest. jesus works. thank you for sharing. JAMES.

[Brie217]

I have one friend in particular who was an elder in the Calvary Chapel church, he got married, they had a baby and then his wife refused to have sex with him from then on. The only worse thing than being single is being married and in a sexless marriage. They ended up divorced and he was a virgin when he got married and did everything right. It really messed him up.

[gweems828]

Great!

[Cornwall1888]

Is it wrong to abort a child if it will kill the mother and child during the birth?

[thekenny1175]

@Cornwall1888 How many reported cases are there of women dying as a result of not getting an abortion?

[Cornwall1888]

@thekenny1175 Every single women who has died throughout history during childbirth.

[thekenny1175]

@Cornwall1888 Every pregnancy brings risk of complication. So by your standard, we should kill every baby in the womb to prevent the mother from risking her life. The fact is, no woman has ever died, because she decided not to murder her child. If the mother's life is in danger, you can deliver the baby early and do EVERYTHING you can to keep both mother and child alive.

[Cornwall1888]

@thekenny1175 I never said any women should have an abortion, never mind every single one of them should have an abortion. I just said women die during child birth and if they had had an abortion they wouldn't have died. That is not controvertial.

I'm pro choice myself.

[Skyline199426]

65 it too much

[XxRushx]

CAN A SINGLE MAN COMMIT ADULTERY AT HEART?

[TheLawman104]

@XxRushx Yes. If he looks at a woman with lust in his heart/mind.

[MrSiklon762]

Pray for me.



[gweems828]

@MrSiklon762 You got it :-)

[MrSiklon762]

Thanks really need to hear this.

[64Ways2Die]

Deleting comments makes this an echo chamber.. doesn't it?

[Shoots1978]

It's been five years and five months since I even had a desired to look at a pornography website. And it's been five months since I had the thought. And the later is due to the Lord giving me the best gift in my life, and losing her is like losing air in me. Or losing my right hand, (my strength).

[Brie217]

I think this is a very difficult subject for people like me; it's easy for you guys who are married.

[XxRushx]

@Brie217 exactly! How is a single man never supposed to masturbate? While the married men can easily say these things.

[Brie217]

@XxRushx I don't think that's a sin if you can avoid lusting. Pastor Tim Keller speaks about this.

[TheLawman104]

@Brie217 It's never easy.

[Brie217]

Obey the rules...what about people like me who were never asked to be married? I'm 50 and still waiting.

[TheLawman104]

@Brie217 God's Word is the final authority. He makes no provision for age regarding sexual sins. Whether you are 20 or 50 or 80, it is a sin to lust after a woman other than your spouse. But thanks be to God that His grace is sufficient in the Christian's times of weakness!

[Brie217]

@TheLawman104 Ray makes it sound like..just wait until you get married, my point is that some of us never had that option. It's the same thing as saying "God has a wonderful plan for your life", it's false advertising in a sense. You have no idea how many people struggle with this and even want to die because of it..Christians who are not married, not part of the "in crowd" at church. Not only is the struggle physical but it is also a struggle against bitterness and to keep trusting God.

[Shoots1978]

I met a young woman who the Lord sent to me, and He used her to overcome my lust addiction in my mind. And now I messed up with her trust, and may have lost the friendship, and never have a chance for a godly relationship now. I am praying hard the Lord to restore this. Cause I am a wretched man, the now chief of sinners. And I love her very much, no one seems to realize I am truthful about her.

[HM60428]

I had a porn addiction for 14 years. I ditched the porn addiction for a lust addiction and did not even realize how often - most every moment. I had to tell a few friends for accountability, and keep relying on the Holy Spirit moment by moment.

When the Christian conventions are in town, the porn spikes on the hotel's pay per view.

Stop pretending. If you cannot break the porn addiction, bring your porn into your church, and ask for prayer to break it's hold on you.

[sojusake]

Thank you again for covering this topic. I'm a single female and I struggle with lust myself so it isn't a sin committed by men only . After watching this episode I realized how helpful it would be to have a female perspective on the show

[Brie217]

@sojusake Amen!

[IELTSExamination]

Ray looks really great for his age.

[darktazmania]

Thank you, this helps a lot! Please make more videos like this, I'm 22 From Puerto Rico and this is my weakness

[IELTSExamination]

First! God bless you Ray and team.
