this is what I'm saying

but you're more interested in solomon's missteps, than in what he did right.

The OP is how to overcome lust. The OP suggests wisdom is the antidote. The OP refers to Solomon.

Im addressing the OP on those points.

ok, let me observe for now, then.

This man of God (Samson) surely learnt the hard way.

God has given light to every man. The word "con-science" means "with knowledge." The conscience is the headline warning of sin; the Scriptures give the fine print. No man can say he doesn't know that it’s wrong to murder or commit adultery. That knowledge is written in bold print on his heart. However, in the Scriptures we see the true nature of sin: that God requires truth even in the inward parts (Psalm 51:6). The fine print reveals that lust is adultery of the heart, hatred is murder of the heart, etc.

No Adultery

"Thou shalt not commit adultery." (Exodus 20:14)

This commandment's obvious application is for marital fidelity. God created one man and one woman for that man (Genesis 1:26; 2:18; 1 Corinthians 11:9).

Adam recognised the sanctity of marriage (Genesis 2:23-25). Christ verified and reaffirmed this fidelity (Matthew 5:27; 19:4-6). Adultery "murders" a marriage and was punished with the death penalty (Leviticus 20:10).

The Bible also gives several parallel restrictions. Pre-marital sex is forbidden (Deuteronomy 22:20-21; 1 Corinthians 6:13-18 ), as is the practice of prostitution (Leviticus 19:29). The perversion of homosexuality is forbidden (Deuteronomy 23:17-18 ), as was the practice of religious sexual rites (Hosea 4:12-14).

The purpose of these social restrictions in the Mosaic Law is to set a clear and visible distinction between God's people and the rest of the nations. God abhorred such behaviour (Leviticus 20:23) because these sins defiled the land (Leviticus 18:24-28 ). Perhaps even more damning than the physical sins was the false worship of other gods (Jeremiah 3:20).

The Lord Jesus clearly equated lust and adultery (Matthew 5:28 ), noting that the heart is the source of all evil actions (Matthew 15:19). In fact, in the New Testament, any worldly association is whoredom and such friendship is enmity with God (James 4:4).

Unfortunately, we are surrounded by an overt promotion of such behaviour, enticing all to engage freely. It is distributed to us through books, movies, TV, Internet, music, fashion, and associations.

Surely, it is clear that the Christian must conform to biblical standards, not the world's tolerance or permission (1 John 2:15-17). HMM III

This is the type of message that turn people gay.

Why is it that most gays are atheists?

"You have heard that it was said by them of old time, You shall not commit adultery: But I say to you, That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:27-28).

Men will often try to justify lust by saying that there's nothing wrong with looking at a pretty girl. True, the Bible doesn't condemn looking at a pretty girl; it condemns "lust." The conscience knows the difference.

The gift of sex came from God. It didn't come about through an evolutionary process. It was given by God for procreation and pleasure. Scripture says that the only time a husband and wife should refrain from the joys of sex is when they are praying and fasting. The Bible also says that a man should be ravished (enraptured) always with her love (Proverbs 5:18–20). The only stipulation is that it is his wife he is to be enraptured with—not the woman down the street. Those who forsake marriage thinking that they can enjoy sex outside the bonds of the institution risk getting AIDS and numerous other sexually transmitted diseases—several of which are incurable.

It is interesting to note that a man and a woman can engage in sex ten thousand times within marriage and never even once risk contracting any sexually transmitted disease.

One who commits fornication (from the Greek Porneia, “illicit sexual intercourse”) takes what could lawfully be his as a gift from God, and corrupts it. He is like a child who one night steals a crisp, new twenty-dollar bill from his father’s wallet, not realizing that his father intended to give it to him as a gift in the morning. The fornicator not only sins against God and incurs the wrath of eternal justice, but he sins against his conscience, and his own body (1 Corinthians 6:18). Fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9).
From, The Evidence Bible - > http:///1bEnd2s

Men will often deceive themselves by believing that the Ten Commandments condemn only adultery, leaving them free to have sex outside the bonds of marriage. However, the Law condemns all unlawful sex. First Timothy 1:8–10 tells us that the Law was also made for fornicators (those the Bible calls "whoremongers".

"I need a daily shot of motivation to live pure for God. I encourage other Christian men who have a background with pornography to develop their own list of reasons/motives. Print them out. Put a copy in your planner or Bible. Record yourself reading through them and keep that recording on your iPod; listen to it daily."

Someone Said: "I am single, how is having lustful thoughts adultery?"

When someone physically commits adultery they violate the Seventh of the Ten Commandments, and in God's eyes if we as much as have intent (lust), that Commandment is broken (even if we are single). Humanity may have its own definition of adultery, but God's definition is infinitely higher. The Bible says that He "requires truth in the inward parts." In other words He sees our inner thoughts and imaginations.

Lusting on a boy or girl, man or women is still lust regardless of your sexuality.

Our first parents faced a threefold temptation, mentioned in 1 John 2:16: "the tree was good for food"—lust of the flesh, "it was pleasant to the eyes"—lust of the eyes, and it was "desirable to make one wise"—pride of life. These are the same three temptations that Jesus faced in the desert (see Luke 4:1–13). Where the first Adam failed, Jesus, "the second Adam," prevailed (see 1 Cor. 15:45). Lust and pride keep millions from coming to God.

5 Steps That Helped Me overcome Pornograph(y)

5 Steps That Helped Me overcome Pornograph(y)
by Perry Noble on June 27 2014 in XXXchurch

Pornograph(y) isn’t that big of a deal….that’s what I used to think.

How I Got Addicted to Porn

When I was 14 years old, my dad and I bought one of the first satellite dishes. It gave me access to hundreds of channels including pornography nearly any time I wanted to see it.

We didn’t keep the satellite dish forever—but it began my addiction. All throughout high school I purchased magazines and developed a very unrealistic view of sex and an extremely unhealthy view of women. I didn’t see anything wrong with what I was doing.

I Wanted Out...

That all changed in May of 1990 when I accepted Christ…and my life was changed. I knew pornograph(y) was wrong and not what God wanted for me, but I had sown the seeds of a porn addiction into my life for more than five years. I wanted the desire to look at porn to go away overnight...but it didn’t.

In fact, I struggled with it for the next 10 years. Porn was my "secret sin" no one knew about. (Tweet This!) The struggle was real and emotionally and spiritually intense. I doubted my salvation, I almost walked away from the ministry, I thought that God hated me…I just could not get control of the addiction.

When The Internet Happened

In 1996 I was introduced to the Internet…and that’s when things almost spiraled out of control. It wasn’t a big deal at first…I was just going to "research and see" what was out there so I could be a "more effective minister."

I lived a roller-coaster life with my porn addiction. I would do really good for a while, even going months without looking at porn…and then BAM…I would surf the Internet for several days in a row, yielding to the lure of the enemy’s voice.

Finally in March of 2000, I decided I was done and going to get free from this addiction. I was getting married in April of that year and I knew a pornography addiction would destroy my marriage.

I can honestly say for the past 14 years I’ve been free of my porn addiction and I thank God who has provided me the strength.

I know I am not alone in this struggle and the good news is you can be free from it too.

Here are 5 steps that helped me overcome this addiction and that I still follow today.

1 - Ask for accountability

I am not talking about finding someone who has the same problem as you and you both confessing that you “messed up” that week and then feeling OK because you were not the only one to sin. I am challenging you to find someone who does not struggle with the problem…and ask them to get in your face. One of my best friends, Clayton King, and I made a pact: If he or I view porn, we have to write the other person a check for $1,000. It might not work for you—but there have been times I have been tempted & thought about my checkbook!!!

2 - Get away from the web

This is tough for an Internet junkie…but it is SO important. Jesus said if your right eye causes you to sin then gouge it out…so I don’t think it is a stretch to say if your computer causes you to sin then get rid of it. I had to take this step…for about five years I did not have the Internet in my house because I did not trust myself. This may be the first step you need to take.

3 - Do not travel alone

Men, under no circumstances should you travel alone if you are struggling with porn, especially if you are in the ministry. Temptation is real so having accountability with you when you’re traveling is such a big deal.

4 - Tell your wife

She has a right to know…and she can pray for you in powerful ways. I told Lucretia about my struggles before we were married…and she still prays for me and holds me accountable today. This will hurt her…and it will put a strain on things…but if she finds out in some other way — and she will — then not only does she feel like you cheated on her but she feels lied to as well.

5 - Ask God to help you to develop a healthy view of women

When I realized, “That woman is some man’s daughter…and when I have a little girl I don’t want other men viewing her in a lustful way!” I have to admit—this one really impacted me. I have a daughter and I want her to be treated with respect and not as an object for someone’s self-gratification!

I have been there—I have struggled—and I have overcome it (Tweet This!)…and the same Jesus who lives inside of me lives inside of you. You don’t have to live with this addiction. If you need help you can start here or feel free to contact me at hello@newspring.cc.

Just watch na. The high point for me was the point where Dawkins asks the audience why they are laughing. Like really, that's the definition of the atheist's delusion/. The man was clearly deluded, it was so straight he could not see.
