I know of a Christian man well into his 40's and still a virgin. He is adamant on waiting until marriage. We had discussions on viewing porn and he was open about his viewing habits. I don't understand the fact that he refuses to have sex before marriage bit thinks it's okay to view porn. I don't see the sin being worse than the other.

I don't agree with him when he says that watching porn is OK. In my opinion, it's NOT OK.

And I don't agree with you when you think that watching porn is equivalent to fornication. No it's not.

Fornication has the potential of pregnancy and in some cases it could lead to abortion.

Fornication could also be based on lies, and shallow self righteousness.

We love each other.
We are going to get married someday.
If it feels good, just do it.
They are so good looking I can’t resist them.
Everyone else is doing it.
We didn’t go all the way.
I am paying you for opening your legs so it's justified.

People sin because there is no conviction of sin , still porn is considered adultery and an abuse to heaven and breaks the commandment of God ...... People need to have a fear of God as we should be living under our father God`s house were we are to live under his rules .....

It's not OK to view porn... however, it is not as egregious as sex outside of marriage.

Matthew 5:30a - If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you;

In the context of lust and adultery, what would we be doing with the right hand ... ?

Did you hear the saying;

"By your word's you'll be justified and by your words you'll be condemned."
