True, indeed!

To whom should they acknowledge they have a problem?

I must ask you this, in what way is pornography different than fornication in a single person or adultery in a married individual? I will almost guarantee you that , at a minimum, fornication (any unclean sexual act) occurs if either a single or married person is addicted to porn. Actually, for the married, adultery in the heart is almost certain to occur when they view porn due to the LUST that is stirred up in them.

I simply cannot see how you can differentiate between these sins and have a different rule to apply.

are you saying a person who is addicted to porn, or a "viewer" of porn will have some kind of inappropriate sexual relationship?

Or are you saying that anyone who has a sexual relationship (adultry or fornication) is BECAUSE they are addicted to porn? b/c I would have to disagree with you wholeheartedly.

Affairs and sexual acts before marriage happen for reasons other than porn...

Single folks without God, or who have drifted away from God, get themselves in very real physical situations and make bad choices...

For married folks, I think that if a woman cheats, it's usually b/c she's gotten EMOTIONALLY attached to someone b/c something that was lacking in her relationship with her husband was met by some "friend"....someone who listened to her or was interested in HER - and not necessairly mainfested in a physical way...yk?

I think a man cheats b/c there is breakdown MOSTLY in the physical relationship with his spouse and some woman is in the wrong place at the wrong time....IMO

Married women, IMO, when upset or mad or whatever at their spouse, refrain from physical contact with the husband....Men who have issues with their wives no longer care about the feelings of the wife and so the cycle starts...

Good post, Theresa. Excellent and so true.

That would be outside the context of the church and, thus, outside the context of his post.

Or, as so many Christians seem to do, put the leadership on some sort of pedestal where they have to be held to a higher standard than the saints in the pews.

You know, I have that same thing happen to me all of the time!!! It's uncanny! It's especially around my nose and on my forehead. It's there when I get up in the morning and usually I can see it in the afternoon or evening as well. No matter how many times I wash my face, it always comes back!

It becomes so prevailant on my wife that she has to leave and "powder" her nose just so it can't be seen!

Anyone else have that happen to them?

Do you mean THE church or the church building. Because I have a feeling that there probably are some homeless people who are saved.
