 PORNOGRAPHY
 Pornography: derived from Greek words
porni(“prostitute”) and graphein (“to
write”) originally defined as any work of
art or literature depicting the life of
prostitutes.
 Oxford Dictionary Definition: printed or
visual material containing the explicit
description or display of sexual organs or
activity, intended to stimulate sexual
arousal.
 HISTORY OF PORNOGRAPHY

The Theist “the person who created and looks

after the universe exists;” whereas the Pantheist
means “the uncreated universe exists.

 Agreement between republicans and

communists is not real but verbal as is that
between theist and pantheist.

 Their is extremely misleading to say that

Theist and Pantheist both believe in God.

women” – Linz and Malamuth (1993)
 BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
God created men and women in His image
(Gen. 1:27) as sexual beings.
But because of sin in the world (Rom. 3:23),
sex has been misused and abused (Rom.
1:24-25).

Pornography also distorts God’s gift of sex

which should be shared only within the
bounds of marriage (1 Cor. 7:2-3).
 BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
Moreover, Scripture specifically condemns
the practices that result from pornography
such as
sexual exposure (Gen. 9:21-23),
adultery (Lev. 18:20),
bestiality (Lev. 18:23),
homosexuality (Lev. 18:22 and 20:13),
incest (Lev. 18:6-18), and
prostitution (Deut. 23:17-18).
 BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
Christians, therefore, must do two things. First,
they must work to keep themselves pure by fleeing
immorality (1 Cor. 6:18) and thinking on those
things which are pure (Phil. 4:8). As a man thinks
in his heart, so is he (Prov. 23:7). Christians must
make no provision for the flesh (Rom. 13:14).
Pornography will fuel the sexual desire in
abnormal ways and can eventually lead to even
more debase perversion. We, therefore, must
“abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the
soul” (1 Peter 2:11). Second, Christians must work
to remove the sexual perversion of pornography
from society.
