Jesus knew that technology would take off in the last
days once humanity discovered electricity, allowing mankind to sin
using the latest advancements. A whole new industry sprang up
utilizing magazines, newspapers, cameras, computers, smartphones,
videos and the internet. Pornography exposes individual nudity and
depicts couples engaging in sexual intercourse. Jesus foresaw that
the portrayal of such erotic behavior would be a plague on humanity
and so He enhanced the seventh commandment given to Moses. It was
not enough to simply stay away from adultery, but that looking and
lusting after the opposite sex was equal to adultery. Pornography is
built upon lust and masturbation and Jesus had a radical message of
what to do with your hands and eyes if you could not control them.
He said it was better to rip out your eye and cut off your hand if
you couldn’t restrain yourself. Ironically, a recent survey revealed
that 65% of pastors are hopelessly hooked on pornography. Is there
anyone who doesn’t think this will adversely affect preaching and
the condition of each church? |
