How Damaging Is Porn Addiction?

The Bible says: 1 John 2:2 "He is the propituation for our sins, and not ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life".

Anybody reading this can be believe in Jesus and be saved based on the wording of these verses. As long as you are not actually dead and burning in hell, right now, the good news is there is hope. God has kept you alive for a reason. Your eternal fate can change. You can choose Jesus and not end up in hell.

Your wrong on the "whosoever" of John 3:16.In the original Greek text "whosoever" simply means "All the believing" it does not mean everybody.God either predestines you for salvation or he does not,it is not your choice but God's alone (see Ephesians 1:4) as a matter of fact God choose before the world was even created whether you would go to heaven or burn in hell for all eternity.

Actually it's just sound Biblical Theology,the doctrine of predestination and election are all over God's word,sometimes I think that "Christians" that believe in "free will in salvation" have either never read the Bible or are illiterate.

God wills for ALL men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:4. Nobody can blame God for ending up in hell (Rom 1:20). God is good. (James 1:13,17).

Romans 8 29-30 .... Again you are using the word "all" out of context,read the original Greek text it simply means all the believing.Did Jesus pick the disciples? or did the disciples pick Jesus? The disciples were minding their own business fishing and Jesus just walked up and picked them...this is the way it is for everyone.... Jesus picks you,you DO NOT pick Jesus.

Did Jesus not pick Judas Isariot? Why did he betray Him if He choose Him? It sounds to me like Judas had some idealization about who Jesus was (i.e. a Messiah who would conquer the Romans). If Jesus chooses you then how can you end up eternally lost like Judas? I would confirm my own salvation experience in the past to what you are saying. I felt "drawn into" Jesus spiritually and I don't think I would have felt any motivation to seek Him out on my own if there was no hunger or "spiritual motivation" in that direction. Jesus said that the Father draws people to Him and they don't come on their own (John 6:44). However, people are saved in many ways and I don't think that means that Christians should slack off on any soul-winning effort under the belief that God is supposed to do everything in that department. I've heard people getting saved in many different ways. God can use other people to reach out to other people, tracks, missionary crusades, etc.... Obviously, those who are drawn to Jesus will find that this is what they have really being looking for.

The Bible suggests the only reason most people reject Jesus is not necessarily because the Father did not draw them to Jesus, but more likely, they choose darkness rather than light (John 3:19). That is given the choice, some people preferred darkness rather than light. The world's offerings ("the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life") 1 John 2:16, being led by the Prince of the Power of the Air into these things, (Eph 2:2), and these things actually "blind" people from the light of Jesus (2 Cor 4:4), perhaps accounts to why not all people are saved as opposed to God picking and choosing who He wants to save as the Calvanists would suggest.

If you're still spanking the monkey when you have a regular girlfriend you probably have the wrong girl. In dry spells I'd suggest you should at least every two weeks for prostate health. But yeah noFAP is definitely going to give you more motivation energy and testosterone for the chase

I started getting prostate issues at the tender age of 17 , and my urologist told me that I should "empty" my prostate on a regular basis.

Essential for older guys to empty. Frequently was defined in the study as once a week for older guys. It would be great if exercise provided the same protective effect. Does anyone have some studies backing that up?

A demonic attack does not mean you are being taken over by demons though. I think there is a misunderstanding. I'm still in the process of learning to differentiate between a mental illness, a demonic attack or an outright invasion (i.e. what you believe is being taking over by demons, or fear of being taken over by demons), or both.

What occurred in December, 2014 is referenced as a case in issue when I'm talking about, what I believe was a demonic incursion. I have written threads about this incident before in 2015 and believed most people on here already knew about this story. So there is some background you are missing.

I visited a prostitute (Suzy) on December 4, 2014 (i.e. very softcore, just danced with her and hugged her and kissed her (face) cheeks passionately and felt her hair and looked at her vag like I was a kid and looking at that for the first time), and on the following day went to another incall center but chickened out, and then saw a second prostitute (Bianca) on December 5, 2014, (i.e. some hardcore stuff went on this time). The following day, on December 6, 2014, all hell broke lose and I believed I was being attacked by a gang of devils, animalistic devils. The shock-wave of this lead to loss of appetite, unable to sleep, waking up at night in a cold-sweat with heart beating fast, unable to drive, feeling like i was going to go crazy. The most severe symptoms lasted for about a week. More milder/moderate symptoms (i.e. have an appetite back and can eat a hamburger, etc..., and drive to some places, etc...) lasted for about the rest of the month. It was a daily battle getting back to normal, driving, having a normal appetite, etc... It was so bad at some point I could not eat pancakes or anything too solid in the morning and it was a struggle to eat. There were also times I'd just stare straight into space.

Now, fast forward the next year (2015), when I was getting back to normal, I still occasionally felt vertigo.

Okay, you get the idea. I'm talking about that incident. I don't know exactly what "that" is. Mental illness or demonic stuff. I've written some threads about it in 2015 on here when it was fresh. Now, 3 years later it's sort of faded out. I'm now very much interested in exorcism, and am reading books from the exorcist Bob Larson and see if I can learn more about this past and what happened.

Have you heard of the legal rights of demons? Fornicating with a prostitute who has demons attached to them will give full legal rights for the demons to be able to come directly after you.
