Should Christians Fight Against Addiction Or Just Relax For It Go? by cutecommend: 8:49am On May 05
I read of a pastor encouraging people to watch porn if they are addicted to it and also read the Bible more. He wants people to watch porn for 1 hour and read the bible for 3 hours, probably thinking that the porn will fade away as one continues reading the Bible...
I want to tell you this: you cannot overcome addiction with your effort, but you must show strong passion to stop it. God wants to see how serious you are in stopping an addiction and then He steps in to deliver. You cannot expect God to deliver you when you still enjoy the addiction.. But if you have shown great efforts to stop it in your strength, God will see how serious you are and possible deliver you with ease when you pray....Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled"... You must hunger and thirst to be free from the bondage of addiction, then God will fill you with righteousness and freedom..

Note: God knows our deepest motives. He knows whether we are enjoying an addiction while pretending to need freedom or if we truly hate an addiction and want to be free.

Well said! Exactly my thoughts.

You can't expect God to deliver you from your addiction if you still remain comfortable in it and don't show the willingness to come out.

Song of songs!

Note that B* stands for the female Mammary organs!

1. The Prayer
Proverbs 5:18-19
18 May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her b* satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

(Say Amen)

2. My Beloved
Song of Songs 1:13-14
13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh
resting between my b*.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
from the vineyards of En Gedi.

3. Your B*
Song of Songs 4:5-6
5 Your b* are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.

4. More description
Song of Songs 7:7-8
7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
and your b* like clusters of fruit.
8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your b* be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
the fragrance of your breath like apples,

5. Kiss of life
Song of Songs 8:1
8 If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother’s b*!
Then, if I found you outside,
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me.

6. Little sister with no B*
Song of Songs 8:8-10
8 We have a little sister,
and her b* are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.

7. B* like towers
Song of Songs 8:10
10 I am a wall,
and my b* are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.

How can you even study the bible very well when the porn you just watched is replaying in your brain?

You can't even be watching porn and reading the bible at the same time, the same way you can't be watching a movie and be reading the bible. Eventually, you will close one of them and guess which one you'll eventually close?


It's when we trivialise God's power that we think human wisdom is always reliable.

Most of these negative addictions goes when you least expect it. Some goes with time. When you were little you were addicted to sucking your hands. As the year goes by, unconsciously you stopped. Same goes to some of these addictions. The bible refreshes ones mind. Don't fight the things of the flesh with flesh. You will fail a thousand times.

While i was a Muslim our alfas used to carry a copy of the Bible and start quoting these verses then looking into our eyes as if someone has poisoned them.
But now i know better because none of them can say he doesn't do all these things in his inner room with different women they call "WIVES" yet they want others to see it as evil to be mentioned what they're doing in their rooms with women! smiley

The writer is Solomon (a man) so he was talking about his female companion and the feelings he has for her natural curves.
Exactly what Adam did the first day he set his eyes on Eve! Genesis 2:23
If each man shows appreciation for his woman the same way most homes will never break that's the essence of the scriptures being inspired by the Creator who knows exactly what men and women want to hear from their partners! 2Timothy 3:16-17

Adam wasn't inspired to talk about the naked features of Eve! How many of your kids have memorized the verses?

Showing appreciation is different from all these rants and obscene inspirations in the purported book of God!

How many female JWs can you see around the globe?
Well all of them must study the Bible from cover to cover so they have all memorized what is found written in God's word!

Any woman on this planet will love to hear her own husband use such poem for her because it's ASSURANCE that she's still his number one female (Eve) on the surface of the earth! smiley
