If the heading has brought you here looking for a bit of a thrill I have to apologise up front because you won't actually find any porn, Christian or otherwise,here - sorry! Well, actually I'm not sorry, because perhaps it's you (and me) I want to talk to this morning.
I received an interesting email this morning from a 'Christian' group offering me access to their 'Christian' website. Not just any old 'Christian' website but a website that would help me to take the sin out of porn and put God into it instead. "Why remove the porn from the believer?" it challenged, "When we can take the sin from it and put God into the picture!" Now I know all about the 'Last Temptation of Christ' and I am aware of the erotic imagery that found within the Bible and within the writings of some of the 'mystics' but this is something different.
Apparently a massive percentage of the population are into porn and there is obviously money to made from publishing it, or am I wrong and the people who do are acting merely out of political or moral higher grounds, but who on earth is going to believe that because the site names the people in their footage or photo's this removes the sin? I am also told that every couple engaged in the sexual stuff is married and are celebrating their gift of love from God with God (and we're permitted to watch because it's worship?). Great, but having watched isn't a tie created? Isn't there something that links you and them? Sorry, I have to say that this is just plain WRONG!
Mind you, if you'd like something that is as attractive and compelling and attractive and costs nothing (no costly sites to sign up for) and cheap (salvation is absolutely free!) and never palls (as sexual stuff does - there's no need to introduce additional or higher levels of excitement - it's always exciting, and if not perhaps you need to work at your relationship with Church rather than change partner?) and is so, so easy to do (no need to hide away to do it, in fact it's better if you do it outside and loudly! Now you can't say that about the 'Christian' porn can you?) and is so fresh (like it's new EVERY morning) and there's no technology needed (other than the results of that nice Mr. Guttenberg's invention in your hands).
So if I have disappointed you I can only say, "You're obviously disappointed!"
Sex is something fantastic and to be shared, as I understand it, in a monogamous relationship between two people who love each other and from this love comes the biological wonder that is life. It's pretty easy really - the bits all fit together in a well-designed manner and the machine runs well with love, consideration, respect and of course, excitement.
New year approaches - if you've found this and you have a problem with porn, why not deal with it and start the New Year on the road to freedom? If you have found this and you don't have a problem with porn, pray for those who do that they might be set free from this mental, spiritual and emotional self-blackmailing trap and thank God you're not caught up in this sin. So, which sins are you having problems with?
p.s. If you're one of those who are engaged in 'Christian Porn' I have to say that you are of course free to engage in whatever sexual antics you fancy and are free to film it, show it to your parents when they come round for dinner or whatever you like - just please don't send me emails offering it - don't suggest it's 'Biblically Sound' (although of course there are many other lifestyles which also plead Biblical support but it ain't there either) and try to make sure your reasons sound plausible and valid because I think there's a test at the end of the journey and I'd hate you (or those you have led into error) to flunk the finals - the alternative is hell!
