Hi Tim,What are we to make of 1 Corinthians 10:31? I'm trying to live as a Biblical Christian and follow God with all of my being.However, I love going to see movies, and I'm quite aware of the garbage in a lot of today's movies. But there are some good ones out there. For example, the movie Defiance is a good story through and through. It does have sex scenes, a few swears, but overall it fills you with excitement and passion to do the right thing.However, is it right for me to watch such a movie if there is a 1-minute sex scene or two or three swears? How far do you go with 1 Corinthians 10:31? Because to take that passage to the extreme, you could become paranoid of dishonoring God and eventually just end up living in your closet....Thanks-Dave
Question: How would you counsel someone if they came to you and they said "I am falling into this sin of pornography on the internet." How would you help them discern whether they are lost and a slave to sin or whether they are a saved and they are struggling with this sin and it is a besetting sin.
Freedom from masturbation and pornography does not come through any self-effort works based salvation but through justification by faith in Jesus Christ.
Is masturbation/self-gratification a sin? It says in Ephesians 5:5 that no sexual immoral people go to heaven. So if this is a sin, then many people are truly in danger.
I didn't realize I was saved that night. I had freedom from pornography and masturbation. I was no longer a slave to it. Yet months later, when I really came to realize the doctrine of regeneration, what it meant to be born-again. I realized, "Whoa - I wasn't saved at 6."
Tim Conway talks about the battle against lust, sexual immorality, and internet pornography. Sadly many professing Christians are slaves of sexual sin and need to examine whether faith is truly in Christ or not.
If your truly satisfied in Jesus Christ you will not need to run to pornography and masturbation to try to fill the void inside of your heart. Why is it that so many people are running to pornography and masturbation? It's because they're not satisfied in Christ.
Brethren... I tell you this. There are people, and I know it, brethren I've seen it, people who were running hard after God, they we're being used of God and they toyed with sin and I believe their saved people,...
I was meditating the other day and it made me laugh. I started this adventure, so I can have freedom from pornography and now months later I don’t even remember...
You have to be aware that there is this deep potential in your soul, to go on in sexual immorality, and to convince yourself it will all turn out in the end, that all will be well, and it won't be. Do not be deceived.

Someone asked, "Are only virgin marriages legitimate? I was told by a group that I am in adultery because I was not a virgin when I got married... according to this group sex is marriage."
To walk in purity, the believer must not just focus on guarding themselves from the sin; but they must be actively pursuing Christ and being satisfied in Him.
For those who are falling into sexual sin, the root cause is that they've opened a door for it somewhere in their life. They must be violent and close the door they've opened...
Sexual sin has been a problem in all generations, but there's no question that our current generation faces it and has access to it far more than any other generation in history.
A prominent sin in the day we live in is sexual immorality, and this sin is also given fierce warnings in the Bible. We need to remember that warnings of sexual immorality...
This is a version of the song All in All that was written by Dennis Jernigan, who was mercifully saved in 1981 out of false Christianity and homosexuality.
