Temptation is hard sometimes, but don't give up, okay?

Proverbs 24:16a:
"A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again..."

James 1:2
"My brethren, *or sisteren ^_^* count it all joy when you fall into various trials,"
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' ...you'll be a Man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling

Will do Chris. Been there, done that (still do that), hate my flesh. Man I hate the old me. Only by keeping our focus on the Lord, and constantly praying for God's help can we hope to overcome it. I think that it is easier to stay focused on God when we set aside a daily quiet time for scripture and prayer. Know that I'm praying for you.
Our lives are but a vapor, let us not let waste our time and breath on vanities, but let us spend ourselves for the Kingdom, seeking a better resurrection.

I know this temptation all too well and it does always come back. Each of us has to face their own demons. I will be praying for you Chris.

Yeah it makes us think of people as just objects which is very degrading, however, i don't think it will ever go away. The fact is porn really sells and i think it will always sell. We're all in this fight together. With each other and God we can beat this. :)

a while ago(like about a few weeks ago) i had no rememberance of the feelings it gave. but then things in my life started to happen and i started to not care about anything or anyone. i started to doubt God...BIG mistake! but i just didn't care anymore. then during that day of not caring i saw something wondered what it was saw what it was but i didn't care so i clicked on it. all those feelings that i had forgot about all came back. i came back to reality and thought about what i did and from then on the addiction came back. it's the same thing as a drunk. they can go to rehab and come out clean but once they get a dose of what they've been away from for so long, the wanting starts to come back. yes, i'm addimting that sometimes i do want it but God always tries to keep it away but i say i want it so he says, "fine! have it! but you'll be sorry!" *hangs head* and i am sorry. that's why i want this to stop! i don't want to be like that!!

Yeah God loves us so much that He's willing to let us do anything we want even if what we want to do is sin. I try to think about that when I'm looking at Hentai. It definately helps. While i watch a hentai movie i pray to God and just kinda have a conversation with Him about the hentai and why im watching it. What i enjoy about it. It helps keep my mind occupied.

it doesn't work for me. sometimes i doubt that he's not there and then i don't care yet i still get that little voice that tells me to stop but i just ignore it and keep on doing what i was doing. i'm not in the best of moods at the moment. i'm hating myself right now. i feel like hitting myself. i seem to do that a lot. so anyways, it just seems like nothing works. i mean i'll stop take a moment to cry and come back to God but then it's like 2 days later or a little more that i go back to it! i hate it! i hate it so much! i want this time to be the end of it! i don't want to go back! i don't want to have those feelings! i want it all gone! i want it to end!

Have you ever thought maybe God might want you to turn off the hentai movie and stop and talk to Him, whether than thinking He's just some second-hand conversation you have while you're having your fleeting moment?

Sorry, Chris, but this is really bugging me and sorry if I've taken your thread off course. I will still be praying for you.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

I know we've had our disagreements in the past TNC, but i think we've all got our own ways of dealing with things. Sorry that my own method offends you. I see the problem isn't hentai itself but the way it makes me view women. Ie see them as objects. If i talk to God i can start to see the hentai girls as people more easily even as they're being portrayed as objects.

I do try hard to not watch hentai, but when i do falter i find it useful to talk to God. I personally view God as a best friend who loves me. God does love uis and that's why He allows us to do as we desire.

I'm still praying for you Chris and im glad you're there for her too True_Noir_Chloe. :)

umm...

just to remind you, hentai is absolutely considered wrong, biblically, morally and on these boards promotion of it is not at all tolerated no matter what the justification. and while you're not outright saying it's okay, it's implied. instead of praying to God while you watch the hentai, you should reach over, turn it off and THEN pray. God is your Father, the least you could do is turn the TV off and talk to Him with no distractions. would you talk to an actual person while you're sitting there getting off? I hope not. God deserves your respect.

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

Father,
I just ask that you keep watch over c.t.,girl and lead not into temptation, but to keep her focus on you, for we remove temptation not by worrying about sin, but keeping our eyes on you.
In Jesus Name;
Amen.
