@TheNavyGuys jesus drew plenty of attention in his day for doing things that many considered to be creating a spectacle. greg is creating awareness of an issue and making it known just like every other organization/person with a cause. and also the bible says you go to heaven by Gods grace alone, no 'publicity' act will get you there.
although i do not agree with him craig gross seems like a pretty nice guy , i think he is going about it the right way , looking at porn stars who need help with the eyes of compassion and not condemnation and that i think is very noble and rare .
I grew up in Vancouver. I remember seeing some of guys in my grade with naked girls on their phones... And then I heard about some of them getting this younger girl (who was really pretty) drunk. They all had sex with her and then left her naked outside her house. How did that happen? Idiocity? I know it was partly the lust that grew inside them, the culture of sex we are drenched in, and stupid gang mentality. Was it porn that led them to do that? I think so.
@josiahmorris That's ridiculous. That's like saying people murder because they read about the massacres committed by the Israelites in Numbers and Deuteronomy. The bible is one of the most violent books ever written. If porn perpetrates rape,I can't even imagine all of the atrocities caused by Christianity and Judaism.
Then again, when I look at the history of Christian violence I think you might have a point about porn. I'll give up porn when y'all give up Jesus.
@josiahmorris I wouldn't say porn led them to do so, since humans themeself are evil acording to the Bible... althought pron doesn't help the situation...
Craig spoke at my high school a couple times in the early 2000's and I thoroughly appreciate him and his ministry. I don't know if he has mentioned it yet in this video or others but he used to bring his wife to porn conventions to keep him accountable. We're all accountable and I appreciate him demonstrating this.
God Bless You Pastor Craig. God will lift you up and bring many AMAZING blessings in your life. I pray you have strengh make a HUGE diffrence no matter what and I believe you do.
1. you are the one stuck with the identity of being called "fag"
2. your hostility toward anyone who speaks about compassion, kindness, love, joy, peace, and happiness with God and His Son Jesus Christ -- is evidence that you are lashing out because you do not have that kind of relationship with the One True Eternal God and His Saving Grace
3. your continual use of the word 'fag' and 'faggot' toward me is forgiven, I pray that God forgive you for all your wrongs
"Faggot" means, kindling, bundle of sticks, something to burn. Christians since the 4th century used to born gay men at the stake.
I am Gay and I do not have romantic desires for females, so most of his substitution theory is bogus. There are tons of naked females, I have no addiction to them. However Craig is cute.
OMG read the Bible it is x-rated. What does it say about "concubines?'
@fagtube0 mary magdaline, the women at the well. He loves everyone. Old Testament vs New testament. Love them where they are at. He said "he without sin cast the first stone" that lady was an adultress yet he loved her.
Veraberry, dont you know that Jesus dined with the tax collecters, prositutes and many others the the religious leaders looked at as the scum of the earth. Jesus loved them just like he LOVES the porn stars. He hates the sin but not the person. He loves every single one of us. His example of that was dieing on the cross so that we may all have a chance to live eternally with him. EVEN THE PORN STARS. In God's eyes sin is sin. There is no sin he looks at worse than any other.
the big picture here is hes DOING SOMETHING ABOUT. unlike most christians who sit in the pew and pass the responsibility on to someone else. Veraberry, im just curious, so you dont call youself a sinner, because last time i checked we are ALL sinners, saved or unsaved we all sin and fall short of the glory of God but his forgiveness and mercy washes are slate clean.
I love how all of these people are trying to criticize and throw scripture, but I bet none of you will get out behind your computer seats, your church pews and go into the gutter and LOVE these people out of porn, our of their addiction. Whatever is said after this is not going to be debated, our fight isn't with each other you guys! Our fight is with Satan! Remember who the real enemy is! Hello!?!?!?
Craig blew it when he said that the harm of porn is that it creates false expectations regarding sex in a relationship! What KIND of relationship, Craig? Adultery? Fornication? These guys are NOT simply sick! They are SINNERS! And sinners must be confronted with the sinfulness of their sin in order to want the "cure" - Jesus. It's not just about "getting out of the industry;" it's about repenting...of their porn sin... and believing in Jesus to save them. Preach the WHOLE truth, Craig!
Craig is misquoting Mark 2:17 by not giving the full passage
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, **but sinners to repentance.**
Jude 22-23 And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jesus was called the "friend of sinners" by the Pharisees. Jesus said, "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." John15:14 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, REBUKE, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their OWN LUSTS shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2Tim 4:2-4
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, SEPARATE FROM SINNERS, and made higher than the heavens. Heb7:26 To insinuate that Jesus befriended sinners is absurd. The Bible clearly teaches that His friends were those that loved and obeyed Him.
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 1Cor 5:11
if Jesus loves porn stars then what does psalms 5 5 mean? so if jesus loves everyone then who goes to hell? why cant jesus loves a child molester also?
Praise God for people actively witnessing in Jesus Name. After watching videos about the tragic deaths of many (if not most) porn stars, I see how necessary these kinds of ministries are.
I had sex with God, it wasn't good.

Matthew 9:10
While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples.
You are right about verse 12 But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.
However, if you look at the next verse it says:
"But go and learn what this means: 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
