I am afraid that i am getting further and futher from God. A lot of bad things have been happening to me and my friends. I cuss a lot more. I do stuff, I look at porn more and more and i cannot stop. Please dont tell me that what i am doing is wrong cuz i know that. I need some really good advice

If you think that theres divine intervention causing horrible things to happen because you are looking at porn - and THAT hasn't stopped you. Do you think anyone here is going to be able to stop you?

well honestly i dont think that looking at porn has anything to do with the bad things happening to you, you're probably just associating it all back to that because its constantly on your mind. looking at porn doesnt make you a bad person but if you really think it is then u need to stop!

Actually, you're not doing anything wrong.
You just think you are. Those bad things happening are just coincidence.
Who cares if you look at porn. Its healthy to clean them ducts out. Seriously.

Just because you look at porn, doesn't make you any less a christian. It's just you being curious about another sexuality and that's quite understandable and healthy (if you're a teenager). What you really have to understand is that you're feeling guilty, and that you're trying to punish yourself. Everyone's not perfect. You have to ask God for forgiveness and with that comes forgiveness of yourself from you. There are millions of people that do things that are 800 times sinful than you do(which really makes your sins seem like child play), and they live with themselves. You just have to ask for forgiveness and try to live a better life. Tell God of your problems, don't repress them. Deal with them. I hope I was some help and I do hope that I made you feel a bit better. Have a good day.

WEll since you are a christian, can I also assume that you are a virgin. What I want to say about porn, is that while it may be exciting to look at, (because you feel that you are being sneaky and getting away with something) it will ruin any chance you have of having a "normal" relationship in the future. Porn is all one sided. You are viewing images, movies, pictures, not real people. Not people you can touch or talk to or have a relationship. When you do meet a girl thatyou like, you have to be able to impress her with more than knowing what to do in bed. She will want to learn your true feelings and be able to reach your heart. In porno no love is involved. A nice girl, the kind that you would want to marry and have your children would be turned completely off by your interest in porn, even if it is past interest. You run the risk of turning back to it, afer marriage, because not every day of a relationship is wonderful, but is no reason to ruin it.And yes, I feel, and so do many family therapist, that being obsessed with internet porn is cheating. And in interfers with intimacy with the one that you love. You may not be in love right now, but when you are, the person that loves you will give themselves to you,and will want the same back. Pornography interfers with intimacy with real human beings.
Stop now before it is too late. Of course it's hard but anything worth doing is hard. Tell yourself that you are better than that.
And yes I do believe that if you do bad things, you will have bad luck. I know that I do good, selfless acts, acts of kindness, and I have very good luck.(of course that is not why I do it.)

i used to have that problem too. porn is lust. and lust will pull you away from God. think about it this way, if God was sitting by you while you were looking at porn, what would He think? also if Jesus were to come back right now, would you go with Him? what you need to do is pray about it. get on your knees right now and confess and pray that God will remove that spirit of lust from you right now in the name of Jesus.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you, that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:27-28
IM me if you need someone to help you through this.

My advice to you is to do your best to stop looking at that kind of stuff. Find something else to watch if you have to or find a new hobby. Also go to church and ask God to forgive you and let him back into your life.
