This is amazing

No he doesn't he to busy being glorified.

The flip side to this is that you need to choose your spouse carefully. Your children will thank you.

Thank you for sharing this truth. Our culture has lost what true femininity and masculinity look like. This is what has been lost and one of the biggest ways in which the enemy has perverted and deceived. The women’s movement has persuaded many women that in order to live a fulfilling life, they need to become masculine at least in terms of their persona. At the same time, the culture has been telling men that they need to become more feminine. This has been going on for decades. Is it any wonder that marriages are failing, that men and women are increasingly unhappy and that young people are confused about their gender identity?

please do another video explaining the differences between numbing oneself to sin vs one having an addiction. i think these two concept can be a bit confusing since one increases culpability while the latter decreases it. thank you, for your ministry such a very much needed discussion. God bless! 🙏🏼❤

I think the focus on pornography is a problem here. Just because something is not pornography does not mean that it's appropriate. I find that people generally make this mistake of representing a particular group of sins with one specific sin and then subconsciously allowing for the others to pass as acceptable. For example, some people think they are modest just because they don't fornicate. This leaves room for other forms of immodesty. It's improper for the viewer of the unintentionally filmed sex to go on watching that comfortably. I don't see a reason for that which is not at it's root, pleasure seeking. I think the intentions of the artist go hand in hand with the mind of the consumer of the art, because it is also possible to randomly stumble on some actual pornography and not lust but have genuine pity for those who use themselves in this manner (as is mentioned here, purity of heart is possible even now). Doesn't mean the content isn't pornography but it is not having the intended effect in this case. Someone can also view properly dressed actors and lust after them. Doesn't mean it is pornography but the movie is not having the intended effect in this case. I think there is too much emphasis on intention. Not that it doesn't count tho.

That was my problem as well when I used to be a Christian. I was not lukewarm at all: I studied, memorized the scripture, streetpreached, no sedations(addiction,), no kids, good credit, average looks, lead church groups, and none of it was to be popular, nor did I have a boastful bone in my body, and a genuine yearning for the truth, and helping others. I turned down a lot of women in and outside the church. What will often happen is you will likely remain single, because you look for perfection, and what you WANT, instead of what you NEED. That's what I learned. And you can't really REALLY measure how "spiritually" mature one is. If you have basic levels of respect, honor, loyalty, patient, strong, positive, no mental huge mental health issues, secure, graceful, and communicates well...boring: CONGRAT! You are in a healthy relationship. I have a feeling she, Girls Gone Bible Girl, will mistake boring guy with not having chemistry[whether your religious or not, I think I'm making a very reasonable observations, could be wrong].

Beautiful . . . Sexy . . . Slutty These are three very different things.

art is literally transcribing the expression of the idea to medium to make it manifest. Either textile or no clothes, It’s still pure.

I one hundred percent agree. But I’ve seen couples who are in there late 40’s with amazing bodies. It’s achievable. I don’t see why people don’t want this. You gift eachother the best gift in intimacy besides Christ in the middle. Which is the sacrifice of our bodies. To me letting go and eating poorly seems more selfish, why wouldn’t you want to give your spouse the best? Yes the spiritual and the selflessness always comes first.

Yeah no. Intent isn't everything. Something doesn't need to have sexual intent in order for it to be sexual, or at least for it to have sexual/sensual qualities or undertones to it. Not only that, intent can never be proven. People lie, and a lot of the time people aren't even fully aware of their actual intent (nor is intent ever 100% "this or that" most of the time anyway). This isn't to say that nudity in and of itself is sexual, but rather, when it comes to art and some other acts, things just get really messy. I think impersonal drawings of the human body for medical purposes are one thing, but as soon as you step into romanticism, things get blurry. I just don't think the intent argument is strong enough. Is intent important? Yes, absolutely. But, is it the star of the show? I think not. I'm also triggered by this topic because of a certain negative/traumatic experience I had as a child where the Intent argument was used, and so this is deeply personal for me.

The Catholic Church has laid out guidelines for modesty, so his comment about if she needs to have her neckline up her neck is just stupid.

Im sorry, but a woman could wear an outfit that she knows could very well incite lust from men, then say to herself.....I dont want men to lust after me and wear it anyway.....I dont think so.

Masturbation is always bad. Sometimes the passions are sensitive, but it must be avoided as much as possible . It drains energy and nutrients and all the masculine energy from the man. Beautiful women feed on lustful men, it must be stopped.

Years ago when you gave a talk at my parish and I seem to recall you broke out in song (U2 I think) to bring home your point. You’re using music to evangelize, so it makes sense that as this is how your brain is wired for God to use this to help you understand. This is a tool in your tool belt!

Kinda gay right?

I don’t think this is normal lol

Is that why the Catholics and the rabbi priests choose to look at boys?

We need to get better at looking boys

You lost me at the Airbnb example. The smirk on Matt's face was disturbing. Great points and discussion before that point. Thank you for this.

I disagree. The idea that the intention of the artist or the viewer redeems the explicit nature of an artistic representation is false. This is what adult film performers claim. This is what film makers who include explicit/gratuitous sexual content say. This is also how many Christians justify consuming entertainment with explicit content. I'd like these men to ask themselves if they'd want their wives and daughters to be depicted in any degree of nakedness in anyone's vision of artistic representation of anything "religious," but I'm afraid they'd say yes; which would prove they fail to love their wives and daughters as well as their neighbors. The appropriate Christian response is to turn away from nudity, not rationalize it because an artist was brilliant at representing it accurately within the context of "reverent art." This is Christianity capitulating to modern, western notions of sexuality and beauty, and then saying that a certain degree of spiritual discipline somehow renders one resistant or immune to the sinful nature of the content. We wouldn't do this with drugs (which many cultures have a rich history of employing in artistic and cultural expressions) we shouldn't do this with nudity.

Every time I see a woman who draws my eyes away from my wife, I say a Hail Mary for her and look away.

I watched the netflix documentary about the guy with 1000 babies and was shocked! I hope you cover his story cause it’s strange, unnatural, concerning and about conception and birth

Imagine believing yourself so defective that your believe your natural social desire to simply look at something appealing is evil & a product of your botched ancestors passing on to you a defective spirit. The intrinsic guilt built into Christianity is its worst feature frfr. Telling perfectly healthy & normal people they're botched & only can be cleansed of their defective nature post mortem has lead billions of people to devalue the only life they know they have. Crazy...

Sin is breaking God's law, Thou shalt not covet=desire thy neighbors wife is one of the laws, there's really no excuse desiring another man's wife or his woman, there are too many single women out there that would love nothing more than have you desire her, desiring a single woman if your a single man is not a sin, it's actually that desire that brings the two together, desiring another man's wife or woman could cause you to sin, the sin would be either adultery or whoredom, your not limited to just desiring one single woman until she's yours, I should probably add this to my comment, coveting thy neighbors wife or woman is a sin but it's not a sin that God will send you to hell over, committing adultery with her IS, that's when the sin manifest's itself or becomes apparent to you or others, what's in your mind is not apparent, or seen by human eye's, that's apparent, evil thoughts are the CAUSE of sinning, everyone has evil thoughts, everyone! however everyone won't let them appear in this world, evil thoughts come from the heart of man, you know them when you think them, resisting them would be good for you if your weak in the faith, many are which is why a lot of people will act on them, what you think is not what God will judge you for, rather what you act upon will be what God will judge you for, evil thoughts are the temptation to sin, not the sin, evil thoughts are sin but NOT sin that you will be judged for or sent to hell for or lose rewards for, if God were to judge mankind based on his thoughts, NO ONE would get into heaven, that doesn't make desiring your neighbors wife or woman right, it's still called sin and has to be or else there would be nothing in your heart to keep you from sinning

great insights and discussion

You can get a good idea, because it’s the same thoughts in your mind.

Who the fuck cares????? LOL, what the hell?? Let's normalize socializing again.

If you can't even look at people you are othering them and showing your compulsion disorders. You should be able to be friends with a pretty lady and not fantasize about her in the moment. If not then that just means you are simply a human animal. Manifesting it into the real world is where it takes the turn. You can simply keep it to yourself and politely engage on a friendly level indefinitely. This is how you make friends with girls dude. You hands off them for life and treat them like anybody else with a penis. 😂 Unless that's why you are "staring at the men surrounding them". Then this is a totally different conversation.

Or put more simply, your thoughts are your own responsibility, not hers. Stop blaming women for mens bad behavior. "Could have been wearing more" blames her for their behavior.

What? So you are saying that you have such little willpower or control over your mind that you cannot even look at a beautiful woman? That is ridiculous. It sounds like something a psychopathic mass murderer would have to worry about.

Lil gay tbh

This is crazy, so nude 2d art in rennasiance style as a wallpaper on a laptop is tottaly appropriate? Do people really make this complex distinction when they look at nude statue what about children that see them? It's crazy

I've done similar actions and I become ashamed of myself because I see the evil that I used to pursue without any sort of morals. Then I try to always pray for all of us.

Excellent video. I particularly enjoyed you two working out your definition of p0rnography - words matter, definitions matter.

Is this what Jesus meant when he said to give into marriage whom you will: "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven."?

That sounds like what Priests do, little boys. God never said remain celibate, He never said that. He said man and woman were made to be one. duh!

Beautiful take. Praise Jesus

As a late intern from medical school, we had lessons at practice in ginecology. What makes a doctor morally different from a professional of sex? the intention, as it was said in the video. Of course, there are few doctors being banned and censured by the law because of awful cases of rape, but that doesnt mean every doctor is a rapist. In other way, Jesus said, if you saw by desire other's wife, you already commited adultery. A doctor is adulterous if he intend to do so. My late preceptor said one wonderfull thing as christian: "Attend your patient as if she is your mother, your sister, your daughter, BUT NEVER as your wife". That helped me a lot in medical school. My problem as a doctor was/is talking in this matter without making people blush or shame, in some scenarios we need to explain how some diseases acts in genital/perineal areas, we need to teach new mothers about "how to give proper milk-feeding" after giving life to newborn at first time...

What do you think of nude beaches

I kind of disagree with the lack of a more intense warning The danger is of a grave sin, and we men always are looking for ways to benefit from what we should not, we yave NOT NEED to "gain" in this way I am concerned of what they are saying The other day I heard someone say that immodesty was in the intention, that if not bad intention may or may nor be immodest, but it would be inappropriate... I hope TOB are not making mistakes, or at least failing to instill the JUST amount of carefulness Many of thise things might be inconsistent with the spirit of chastity

Most life changing advice for me from Christopher West around 20 years ago “If you can’t say no, your yes means nothing”. Intimacy = Into Me See… it’s much more profound when your ‘yeses’ truly mean YES, because you both know you can say no, and that you mean NO. People don’t realize the impact this has in all areas of one’s life, it extends into parenting and business as well. Every yes means a no to another opportunity, but saying no means you can reserve your yeses for only the most important occasions and people!

Babe I want a joy ride

I think an objective reasonable person standard would be helpful in the definition. That way it takes away the subjective stupidity situation. Or a knowledge component where the person knows or should have known that the material would lead to sexual arousal.

Photographs of naked people in National Geographic are not considered pornographic as the people featured in these pictures of non-European peoples have saggy flaps of skin for breasts, Nothing arousing or erotic about these pictures.

2354 Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. If you’re getting aroused as a third party, it is lust.

Porn is the infidelity of the coward. I had this phrase pop into my mind a number of years ago and it has helped me ever since.

Just look in the catechism for the definition: 2354 Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. If you’re viewing as a third party, then arousal is listful. Duh

I'm trying to become Celibate help me please 😢 ok
