Christians addicted to pornography

What does it take to begin a relationship with God? Do you need to devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Must you become a better person so that God will accept you? Learn how you can know God personally. Everyone has their own spiritual journey with the Lord.

Sadly, this is the same type of prayer dialogue Christian porn users have with God. A conversation where men and women kneel down and beg for the freedom, victory, and strength that God has already given to them. Despite hearing the Gospel, being born again John , becoming a new creation 2 Corinthians , receiving the Holy Spirit Ephesians , having the ability to walk in the liberty by which Christ has made us free Galatians , these people still believe they are in an impenetrable dungeon with walls too thick for the bondage-breaking power of Jesus. Sadly, this is the Gospel of which many people have subscribed—a false and fraudulent imitation that leaves husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, and sons and daughters begging for the prison door keys that are hanging around their neck. The question then becomes, why?

When I was twelve, I first discovered soft-core online pornography. Somehow, in the days of dial-up internet, I found it. A lot of it. I was very sheltered, so when I found these online images, I became entranced with curiosity and confusion.

Another recent study from Case Western Reserve University confirms this. In my opinion, the chief sources of the discrepancy are the conflicting definitions of addiction. Others would measure addictive use by how much it disturbs their lives: has it cost them money or significant relationships? For the most part, surveys are not standardized around specific definitions or descriptions. One contributing factor that psychologists give is religion.
