Thanks.
Join the conversation Janelle. This is an in depth conversation about Christians unable to avoid sin. The OT was about pornography, but that lead to the general conversation about why Christians are unable to avoid sin.

It has been quite an eye opener for me. I did not understand how difficult it is for these Christians not to sin. It must be terrible. I will put my mind to solutions for them.

I have remained on topic the entire time. You seem to have a need to direct the thread which has actually followed a logical progression.

We are discussing sin, Janelle.

I really don't want to waste my time with bullying so carry on without me. I have more important things to do.

I believe that if we refrain from sin we please God.

I think they like porn, and all of their other sins, more than they like pleasing God.

Thanks for the drop in. Honored you decided to waste your time yelling for the mods. I do not know what we will do without you.

Join the conversation, Janelle.

Exactly, but at the same time want to stop and can't as it is an addiction just like drugs and have pulled them under in the mire, hopefully the pendulum hasn't swung too far for recovery or that it has not transcended to other wrongdoings.

Refraining from sin is only part as one should lead by example what it is to be a person of God by leading them to the Lord as they should be concerned with their salvation. God wants us to spread the gospel to others. If we stay in the word and lead others and have confidence we are assured of Heaven as this is how we should please Him

It was a good sign when hotels decided to stop showing porn in their rooms but I think from reading articles about it, it wasn't so altruistic after all. People now can access porn on their computers and they had some law suits where parents sued them for exposing their children to it in the rooms.

Porn is a big business for hotels though and most are still offering it. Too bad.

Do you make sure the hotels you stay at don't offer it?

Do you have a list of those hotels to offer to your like-minded, porn-avoiding, brothers and sisters?

That would be helpful for some, I'm sure.

No, I did not tell you that, but it's cool you keep proving my point. Thank you.

Dear Finn,

Yes, you did. Since I do not sin, you cannot be referring to me in your posts. You only refer to yourself. You keep sinning and applying what you are doing to me. You cannot go one hour without sinning.

That, and the whole imaginary conversation about my bathroom practices is bringing you down a rabbit hole. It it blocks you.

Love,
Ronk
