From: @stands to reason Why the Majority Cannot STOP Porn, Masturbation, and Orgasms


Even if you pause PMO temporarily from a long streak using human willpower, this has absolutely nothing to do with transforming the mind, or saving the soul from eternal spiritual death from sin. The saving of the soul is called regeneration. God comes and lives within you and you will not desire to sin anymore. He will help you overcome, as he did for me. The following is why you cannot spiritually stop PMO, and most remain held in bondage without God being the director of your life and leading you by his Spirit; daily.

#1 BE OF GOD
You may not know God You think you know him? Do you even profess you know him? Are you good ground? Or are you really a deceptive tare? We don't know how many tares are among the true elect. Jesus said, you will know them by their fruit. But do you really think you are living for God when you are living in PMO sin? You may not know God. Matthew 15:8 KJV - This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. How do you know you have God inside you? 1 John 4:1-2 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: How do you know you love God? John 14:21 - He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Matthew 24:13 - But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

#2 FEAR GOD (reverent awe)
You are not fearing God 8:13 - The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Until you hate sin you will remain arrogant against God and held in place to PMO. You cannot have reverent awe of God when you have no respect of sin. Do not be deceived, sin is enmity against God and without repentance, sin will kill you.

#3 GET WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING
You are lacking wisdom Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7

#4 BECOME A HEARER OF THE WORD
You are not hearing God’s voice James 1:19 - let every man be swift to hearMatthew 11:15 - He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Romans 10:17 - So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

#5 BELIEVE GOD’S WORD
You are not believing on God Take heed, there is an eternal difference in believing in Jesus and believing on Jesus. Believing on God means you have complete unwavering steadfast trust on what God says his will is. You trust always and do not doubt. The Bible says that by walking in the Spirit we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ... Paul writes in Galatians 5:16, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. To commit sin is to transgress or disobey these laws. John 15:7 - If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. James 1:6-8 - But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

#6 BECOME A DOER OF THE WORD
You are not doing what the Word says James 1:22 - But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.


WARNING! Do not be deceived When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.:emoji_lion_face:

Of course Paul didn't say what he was doing was right.... And to say that just because Paul may have committed a few sins, no one can avoid committing sins at all is just silly.....

Jesus says "be ye perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect".... Of course, we can become perfect only with His help

So I declare and testify in the Lord that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds; because of their hardness of heart, they have become callous and have handed themselves over to licentiousness for the practice of every kind of impurity to excess. That is not how you learned Christ, assuming that you have heard of him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus, that you should put away the old self of your former way of life, corrupted through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on the new self, created in God’s way in righteousness and holiness of truth.”.

In the above quote, Paul would not say to. "Put away the old sinful way of your former life" If putting away our sins was impossible to do....

You copied a post from a heretic that believes in a works based salvation...

Oh my dear fellow... So works are not needed for salvation? I think Martin Luther is the heretic here...

From James 2, word for word:. "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.". Read that again..... Saint James, one of the chief apostles, clearly says that we are justified by works

@Boanerges777 , don't just blindly believe what your protestantism says, especially when the Bible explicitly contradicts it....

Oh, of faith and works again. Seems like I had a thread for that.

St Paul said that "works of the law" such as circumcision were not needed.... Luther confused the unnecessary "works of the law" with the necessary "good works".... As James clearly says, we are justified by good works in addition to faith....

Good job you have all canceled grace “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:4-5‬ ‭

Even the ability to do good work is a grade of God man...

Even having faith in God is a good work..... To maintain our faith needs mental and spiritual work right? So then good works are also necessary

Read Paul's letters in their context.. when saying that"works" are not necessary, Paul is speaking about WORKS OF THE LAW and not GOOD DEEDS... Works of the law, like circumcision, animal sacrifice etc are no longer needed for justification... However, Paul himself tells us to do good deeds... And James also clarifies for us that "faith without good deeds is dead"
