Question:

Pastors’ response: Let me read something to you from the bible first Habakkuk 2:15 “Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttiest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! Vs 16”Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory”. Now, the implication of that is that one’s nakedness being made public is a shame when you are not a child, as far as God is concerned that’s a shame. Now that started from the Garden of Eden, you remember that the bible tells us that Adam and Eve...

Vs 16”Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory”. Now, the implication of that is that one’s nakedness being made public is a shame when you are not a child, as far as God is concerned that’s a shame. Now that started from the Garden of Eden, you remember that the bible tells us that Adam and Eve in the Garden, God placed them in a Garden and then when they did what God said not to do be obeying Satan, the bible tells us that their eyes were opened and they found out that they were naked (Genesis 3:7) and then they covered themselves with leaves because they found they were naked, they were ashamed and they hid themselves from God which means it’s natural to try to hide one’s nakedness, one’s physical nakedness and what did God do? God didn’t say oh don’t worry you can move around like that, No the bible tells us that God slew an animal and gave them the skin of the animal to cover themselves instead of the leaves (Genesis 3:21). So, God recognize that nakedness as giving a feeling of shame that’s why I read that scriptures to you. Now the question we ought to be asking is, what the purpose of pornographic films in the first place, why are they produced? And what is the meaning? When you say pornographic films I hope you know what you are talking about. The word “PORNY” is from Late Greek meaning prostitute and when you say “POGRAPHERS” is the writing about the prostitutes. So, it has something to do with some form of, some form of debased human life. You see so, is not something of honour, it’s not something of glory, it’s something of shame. Why produce it, it means it is done for a reason and whatever that reason is, it’s obvious that it is not positive. Christians don’t do it, those who believe in Jesus don’t do, they don’t produce those kind of films because they understand there is a shamefulness in nakedness. When you study from Genesis all the way to the end of the bible revelation you will discover the same trend, the same trend. So, it’s not right, there will be no positive reason to use it, understanding the reason for which it was produced. It was produced by those who want others to have a feeling that they could have a prostituted life. See and that’s what the words actually refers to, so for that reason, I will say that Christian couples or any Christian for that matter should not use pornographic material. It’s not wise! Less
