Re: Ministries for women porn addicts

I find some things about this type of discussion interesting. You'll primarily find women disagreeing with me.

Why?

I think it's because so many have bought into the "created equal" doctrine that assumes that we think, behave, react, and even process stimuli the same. That is so untrue. Men and women are vastly different, especially in this area. Even when both participate in unwholesome entertainment such as found in this topic women process it differently than men.

Ladies please remember...men are men. You'll never understand us... and I think a wise man gives up trying to understand women sooner than later. lol

True story: The police responded to an urgent 911 call placed by a pastors wife to their home. Once they got there they found her tied up on the bed dressed in a 1920's style outfit and long black hair wig. Her husband was knocked out, and in the closet, dressed in a Superman costume. He had gone in there with the intent of popping out and "saving" Louis Lane but while in there something dropped from the top shelf and knocked him out. His wife was tied up and had to use her foot to reach the phone to call the cops.
So the question on the table might be... was their "game" a "sin"? It's make believe and nobody is actually "lusting" after another. But others might say otherwise.

If it is a "sin"...when children play "cops and robbers" a "sin". Robbery and theft was a sin last time I looked it up. What about video games and other entertainment games that include the taking of life? Is that a "sin". Is it a "sin" to play "Grand Theft Auto" on PlayStation? Why do we enjoy thriller novels and movies that often involve theft, murder, etc.? Do we not vicariously live through the characters?

Is make believe a "sin" in all contexts or is it simply using one's imagination?

Of course, kid playing playing cops and robbers justifies all this stuff.

Would a couple be sinning if they pretended to be King David and one of his new concubines?

King David had 8 wives and 10 concubines by the way. God stated that he gave David his wives and concubines. David's only sin of this nature was his adultery with Bathsheba. Who by the way became the first lady of Israel and the mother of Solomon.

I do agree... some games are over the top if they involve pain or prostitution. But some games are permissible and should be kept between spouses.

The point is that play is innocent. The pastor and wife in the post above pretending to be Superman and Lois Lane isn't "sinning"... it's make believe. (It is funny though. lol)

Intimacy can be romantic and emotional. It can be spiritual. It can also be a playful adventure. It can be all these things without being inherently sinful.
