Pornography is a blatant act against God’s direction and will for His people. It takes what God created for good and distorts it in a vial way that causes devastating affects for millions of people all over the world.
Pornography actually feeds the illegal industry of sex trafficking; it plays a huge role. Not only does the viewing of pornography create a demand for women and children to be sold for sexual acts in the slave trade, but many of the individuals portrayed in pornography are actually victims of sex trafficking themselves and are forced into the industry. So pornography is used as a major part of the Sex Trafficking industry. Yet it also plays devastating roles in the lives of people viewing and partaking of pornography. It destroys marriages, families, friendships, it leads to atrocious uses of sex and it feeds an illegal industry that sexually exploits vulnerable women and children. Viewing pornography also distorts the view and value which partakers of pornography have of both women and children. Thus pornography has devastating effects beyond one life; it injures so many others and it also helps keep the slave trade alive. We have to take a stand. It must stop!!!
What Scripture has to say:
Matt. 5:27-28, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery'; 28 but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."
1 Cor. 6:18, "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body."
Col. 3:5, "Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry."
Ps. 72:4, “He will defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; He will crush the oppressor.”
