Is watching porn actually a sin? A raw conversation about guilt, grace, and what God really thinks

A sensitive topic that many struggle with but few want to discuss openly in church. The Bible talks about lust and purity, but in our digital age, the lines often feel blurry.

Some argue it's clearly sin because of Matthew 5:28: "Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Others point to how it affects relationships and mental health. But then there's the question of grace, addiction, and what real redemption looks like.

What does a porn addiction say about someone's faith? Can you be a "real Christian" while struggling with this? And how do we balance grace with the call to holiness?

This isn't about judgment - it's about having an honest conversation about:

  • The difference between struggle and unrepentant sin
  • How to handle guilt and shame
  • What real accountability looks like
  • The role of grace in recovery

For those who've found freedom - what actually helped? For those still struggling - what makes this battle so hard?

Let's talk honestly. No judgment, no easy answers - just real discussion about a real issue affecting many believers.
