I blame (western) society.
People would use porn less if there was more incentive to get married, have sex, and raise a family. Simply too much baggage for that now.
Quitting porn is not that hard, I'd expect the lord's chosen to be able to do it. All the excuses I hear remind me of fat people complaining that food is too tasty.
>And the saints have
Yeah, except they didn't quit porn, they quit lust.
And no, if you've managed to stop jacking off to porn that doesn't mean you're not a lustful moron still.

One: Cultural Christians.
Two: Whether it is possible to completely stop sinning in this life is heavily debated. Methodists, Nazarenes and some Pentecostals say you can, most other churches say you can't. Well maybe in Orthodoxy with theosis you could idk.
>Whether it is possible to completely stop sinning in this life is heavily debated.
Not really relevant tho. Even if it's impossible to stop sinning period, it's obviously possible to stop jerking off to porn.
It is actually not that hard to not jerk off, the feeling of having a hardon is very pleasant and you can enjoy it without having to jerk off. The only reason you cannot do it is because 1) you are plagued with lusty spirits who push you to it, and 2) you already made your dick used to jacking off the moment it feels the slightest sense of horniness so your body thinks this is the way it should be and demands it.
Same way you can actually spend most of the day without eating and have a pleasant experience, the grumbling of the intestines is just your body self cleaning the pipes and it feels actually pleasant, and you can even go 2-3 days without eating at all and have your body use the energy it normally wastes on digesting food (which is like 70% of your blood and energy) to better things like healing and improving organs, boosting immune system and other systems and a higher usage of your mental capability. But since you were told you had to eat at least 3 times a day and you have been probably eating 5-7 times a day and your body is not used to going a few hours without eating and you already made your stomach used to stuffing food in it at the slightest hunger discomfort, then you cannot do it. And because you have glutton spirits who push you to it.
The problem is not God's design, on the contrary, it is the godless culture you live in that refuses to live by God's advice.

I almost fully agree with you, but when these anons start posting niggresses I get weak in the knees. >It is actually not that hard to not jerk off
Spoken like someone who has never suffered jungle fever.
This thread was made for me as this is my first lent ever and I've been able to abstain from thoughts, meat and masturbation this far but now I'm very tempted.
Free will.
Why can't god's faithful use their free will to stop jerking off to porn?
They can.
Then why don't they do it?
Free will duh
I did it.
Why did god smite Onan for pulling out?
>people are slaves to sin because they’re free!
lol, even the Bible disagrees with you
If atheist have higher iq then why you?
Why I what? That's not a complete sentence, anon.
You think one outlier can effect an entire statpistic?

it's a constant fight against temptation, doesn't help that satanic goon caves are considered normal now

I've been having success with it thankfully. It's easier once you don't do it for longer and avoid red boards and other sources of lust
> Quitting porn is not that hard, I'd expect the lord's chosen to be able to do it

Doesn't seem like the sort of thing that you'd have to be a saint to give up.

Because religious self-identification has little impact on character.

Jungle fever saved my soul and delivered me from lust and longing to love and fulfillment
Try really hard to be clean of mind and love God and those spirits of envy will flee from you.
when you jerk off you don't procreate, that's why it's a sin
idk

What do you want to jerk off about anon?
Because it's hard (the peepee)
>be chritcuck

>pray to wash away your sins
