AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 3:5 ¶ So put to death and deprive of power the evil longings of your earthly body [with its sensual, self-centered instincts] immorality, impurity, sinful passion, evil desire, and greed, which is [a kind of] idolatry [because it replaces your devotion to God]. |
Bible Question:
Is Porn a sin? And if it is where is it found in the bible that says it is? |
Bible Answer: The fact that you ask is good... much of what you find in the Bible contains priciples which have broad applications and are timeless... Consider these scriptures and you decide whether a Christian should feed their mind on porn. In Colossians 3:5, sexual appetite is linked with covetousness - an inordinate desire for something that one does not have and covetousness is a form of idolatry. Also, consider Jesus words in Matthew 5:28 "but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." |
