Bible Note: Now, I hate porn with a passion. But, It is not fornication. If it was, the woman would be married to him without knowing it. Remember the passage where one who goes to a prostitute is one flesh with her? Jesus, though, did make a point in Matt 5:28 A man who looks at a woman lustfully (porn is included) has comitted adultery with her in his heart. Not physically, so no grounds for divorce and remarriage (not maritial unfaithfulness a couple of verses later), but his sin in God's eyes is just as bad. Notice, I am trying to walk a careful line. I hold marriage as sacred, I want people in danger to be able to leave, and I want to guard against easy justification of divorce. Many people don't want to get healed. They would rather blame the other, even manipulate them into a hard place to feel justified in getting divorce. Thus I do not want to say just looking at porn sites would be grounds for divorce.
