Consequences when you read sensual material

By: American Decency Staff

Personal note: May these few paragraphs serve as spiritual warnings to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. God help us to fight the fight of faith – to pursue holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. [Hebrews 12:14] ============================================= Consequences when you read sensual material You experience guilt by violating the moral laws that God wrote in your heart. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them Romans 2:15 You damage your marriage by committing mental adultery. But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28 You promote prostitution by engaging in lewdness for hire. Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: II Peter 2:14 You lay the foundation for insanity by having gratification without responsibility. A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways. James 1:8 You sow seeds of destruction to your flesh. And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Galatians 6:7 You increase violent crime in the nation. Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness [violent crime]. Leviticus 19:29 You dull your spiritual senses and grieve the Holy Spirit. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: Galatians 5:17 You promote the goal of humanism, which is to enjoy whatever pleasure lust suggests. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
