Sin nature

<< < (3/3)

Stacey:
dre91, not one member here is any different than you with respect to our sinning nature. I'd be willing to ponder a guess that since we are here on the BT forum and obviously have computers or other means of access to the Internet that, more than a few of us have been attacked by the evil draws of pornography. You are not alone!

WWPS = What would Paul say.  :) What does Paul tell us concerning our sin nature?


Romans 7:15-25

 15.  For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
 16.  If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
 17.  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
 18.  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
 19.  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
 20.  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
 21.  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
 22.  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
 23.  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
 24.  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
 25.  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Paul struggled with sin as we all do and will continue to, unless God delivers us from this or that sin, until we are rid of these wretched bodies, these sinning machines.

God bless you dre91, hopefully with the ability to leave this sin behind you, and give you a new outlook concerning it, a testimony of victory over it!

That's exactly what your going through!
Your craving the drug (porn).

"If we are among the chosen that overcome, then the Stone falls ON US, and our spiritual house built upon the sand comes crashing down. And when Jesus falls on us, He GRINDS US [along with all of our idols of the heart] TO POWDER!"
And,
"Some of the things we must go through seem bad on the surface. But as in all of God’s dealings, what appears at first to be something horribly bad, is in reality, only a necessary stage in the process of overcoming sin and self so as to be qualified to reign with Christ in bringing the rest of humanity into a knowledge of the Truth, redemption, salvation, and finally, glory."
L. Ray Smith


The fact that you are here and confessing to us, is proof that God is working on/in you! Don't give up!
