What I am saying is that SIN is changing the LAW OF THE LAND - not the other way around.

Blessings -

I would say that it is both, that sin changed the law to begin with but then that the law then intices more sin.

I, as a missionary/Evangelist have precahed in many chuches in Europe and some of the people who come and ask for prayer are ministers who have got into porn.    It is too easy.  My computer is so set that It is impossible for me to view porn even if I wanted to.  I have a programme that I cannot remove without the publishers permission!

lol ... I don't think the "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" is what is being spolen of here, but that is cute.
(Did you mean the First Amendment?)

I guess if you've got a gun, you can watch porn and no one will dare tell you not to?  Huh

Actor Stephen Baldwin
on crusade against porn
Christian activist photographing shop's patrons,
threatening to publish names in newspaper ads
Posted: January 15, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern

© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com

Actor Stephen Baldwin might be more at home on a movie set, but these days – and nights – the veteran of more than 60 films can be found on Route 59 in Nyack, New York, trying to shut down a business that shows movies – pornographic movies.

Baldwin, the youngest of the acting clan that includes older brothers Alec, Billy and Daniel, has planted himself on the sidewalk outside a new adult entertainment business located about one mile from his home and is photographing workers and their vehicles as they prepare the store for opening.

The actor says he plans to stand outside the store every day and photograph license plates of its patrons until the business closes. He will, he threatens, identify the store's customers and pay for a one-page newspaper ad each month to publish their names.

"I won't stop until it shuts down," Baldwin told the Westchester Journal News. "I don't want it this close to my house. I'm personally not OK with pornography. I definitely think that it adds to the moral decay or our culture."

Baldwin and several of his Nyack neighbors unsuccessfully protested the business's application to open last summer before the city planning board, but were told by officials their only legal authority was regulation, not prohibition.

The store, owned by the Queens-based company, Algama, will feature movies, books, magazines and video booths – and, says Baldwin, attract crime, lower property values and reduce the quality of life of the community where he's lived for 10 years.

Baldwin, who became a Christian in the wake of 9-11 and through the witness of his wife, Kennya, has become outspoken about his new faith, co-producing a Christian DVD called, "Livin' It," aimed at the extreme-sports culture of skateboarding and BMX stunt biking.

"In my position, I just don't think I'm supposed to keep my faith to myself," Baldwin told a group of Texas Southern Baptists in 2004. "I'm just doing what the Lord's telling me to do. You know, if the Lord's not telling anybody else [in Hollywood] to [talk publicly about their faith], well, then God bless 'em. But I don't think that's the case. I think there are a lot of people who don't put their faith before everything else, you know. And that's a big problem. I'm just doing what the Lord's calling me to do. Period."

For the present, it appears, the Lord is calling Baldwin to trade in his skateboard for a camera and keep vigil at the new pornography outlet in his neighborhood.

Police report Baldwin called them Friday night at 9:30 p.m., saying the shop's employees were harassing him for taking photographs. They advised everyone the actor was free to protest as long as he stayed off private property.

"He's just out there expressing his opinion," Sgt. Gerard O'Connor said. "He's more than free to do that."

AMEN

If more of the Christian actors, and actresses would talk about their faith openly. Hollywood may finally see, what is happening in the world. I know I voice my faith, in the Lord openly. I believe most of us at CU do make their voices heard.

Resting in the hands, of the Lord.

There is an old fashioned term that I use. Where your faith on your sleeve. I take that literally. I have a Christian flag on my sleeve and just below it a patch that says "I love Jesus". It is a great conversation starter that leads into witnessing.

Brother,

I know when I go out, to eat, or just to have coffee. I carry my Bible with me. I pray out loud, and read my Bible while eating. I have used that to witness to people a few times. Yesterday, I was witnessing to a gal. Yes, she knew that Jesus died for her but, she had backslidden. The Church she use to go to, was using her. I won't say in what, cause I saw that another person was on with my IP. I prayed with her, and even though I didn't go to Church today. I got a phone call that she did.

I also gave her the forum address here. I am praying that she, is the one, from my IP using it.

Praise God, brother. I will be praying for her. It is unfortunate that some churches have fallen by the wayside in that fashion. It is also unfortunate that there will be much more of that. We as Christians should not allow that to stop us from being close to our Lord.

I rarely attend church in person anymore. It is very difficult for me to deal with physically but I do not allow that to stop me from communing with our Lord and Saviour.

I know I have my bad days, when I can't go to Church. I miss the fellowship so much. Yes I enjoy the fellowship here. But theres a difference, when you fellowship in person. Though I have learned from everyone here. And I know my brothers, and sisters here learn something each day.

hello bronze ..
First off i want to say hello.. its good to "see" you again.. just having come back recently i havent had a chance to say hello to u again after all this time,, Cheesy
2ndly. what a testimony.. God is soo good to us all and truly appreciate you giving your testimony as a witness of what God can do in a persons life. I have to say that looking thru the forum this title caught my eye and i wasnt sure what to expect but im glad i opened it up. I to have a testimony, as does every child of God wether he took them outta the things of the world or mercifully kept them from the things this old work has to offer.. that to me is a blessed testimony..i guess id have to say that with me.. my testimony goes a little along the lines of being a sexual abuse survivor and gods amazing grace that has brought me thru and has allowed me to life a much more normal life in this aspect then alot of other "survivors" that i know personally that are not saved and leaning on the everlasting arms of my saviour.. He truly will see us thru any thing the world throws at us..
I was at the young age of 4 yrs old the first time i was molested or plainly raped and had a man that was roughly 25 or so lock me in a room and perform oral.. i wont do details.. but it only started there.. it was a cousin of mine.. and soon after another 4 or so brothers all much older then me decided i was fair play and they were so good at hiding this and scaring me into keeping it quiet and hid, that no one knew till i was much older.. this went on from age 4 to roughly 17 yrs of age.. and i can attest to  the fact that porn was absolutley behind it..and also some of these people had been victims themselves and hadnt been able to get past and thru and became the very thing they hated most in thier lives.., a big part of the issue today with me is most of these men live in close  to me, in my home town and the town and city close to me.. some have come and tried to apologise but at same time try to excuse themselves saying they were young and didnt know better..when i was 4-17 they were 20"s to late 30s and early 40s..as a young person.. having had this most of my life i became somewhat loose in my relationships thining that even tho my parents taught me right from wrong (they had no idea.. they were devestated when told, but these people were family and the last people any one would suspect, and thinsg would happen when family was together to play and visit.) so even tho i was taught and brought up in a God fearin church and family.. it seems to be what was a normal thing to happen.. and for a long time i was made to feel that unless i performed and allowed things to happen.. then i coldnt keep someone in my life..
Now thank God i have been maried to a christian man for nigh to 15 yrs now and have 2 wonderful boys, God has blessed me.. i cant deny that i have my times of night mares and day terrors and night terrors and flash backs and all things that come from years of abuse but God sees me thru..
so Bronze and you others that are sickened with porn and what they do to them precious , precious innocent babies and even older people and spouses that use porn to get ideas on how to degrade and abuse and so forth , i commend your speaking up  and out about it.. and i fully agree and even tho it is tearing me right now to speak up about my life..its to say,, God is Good.. ALLL the time.. and He wil never leave us nor forsake us no matter the circumstances in our lives.. and we all have things we can thinak Him for and all have a testimony that deserves being brought out..
Again Bronze thanks for bring this topic to the forum..I pray it will be for the glory of Gods amazing grace.. God bless you BrSn and you others that have replied.
Hugs...
(just keep me in prayer.. but especially the innocent babies and yes,, the souls of the creeps and the pimps and the sellers and buyers, as sick and twisted and as much as we'd like to do them in with our own hands or to see them suffer... God came to save the lost. and bro's and sis's they are men (and women) most miserable.. and need God desperately.. i know praying for them is so hard, and seeing the victims is so heart wrenching.. But we were all sinners but for the grace of Amighty God.. there i go...

Luv and hugs to ya'll

Tigerlilly.
I'm so sorry I took so long to respond to you.
You have obviously been deeply hurt by this experience, and by people who as a child, you trusted.

Is there anything more pitiful and sad then when an innoscent little child gets harmed in this manner? It breaks my heart and reaches into my very soul Tigerlilly. I am so hurt for you and every child that has such evil done to them.
Jesus was right there suffering along with you my dear sister, and those who would do such evil will be made to have an accounting for every vile deed they have perpetrated upon people such as yourself.

Now, there must be forgiveness, so that you can continue without any more harm done to yourself my sister. You know you must forgive, that doesn't mean you must forget though. If it is possible the people who do these things must be pointed out and brought to justice. It may be there only hope for real salvation. If they are not brought out, they will continue to harm others and they will never repent and seek the forgiveness of Jesus.

I am more concerned with you at the moment. It took a lot of deep down pain for you to bring this out in the open like this. Tigerlilly, you really have to find forgiveness, complete forgiveness for this person before you can be truely healed yourself.

I will pray for your healing my dear sister. I am heartsick for you.

God bless you and give you the strength to forgive and be healed. May God shine His light of Holy Justice down into the deepest darkest hiding places where such people who would do this evil hide, and reveal their sin to the world. May God see to it that these people are brought to justice here on earth, before they meet Him, and His Holy Judgement. Amen

some have come and tried to apologise but at same time try to excuse themselves saying they were young and didnt know better..when i was 4-17 they were 20"s to late 30s and early 40s..
I have heard this before, from other women's testimonies. I think THEY KNEW BETTER. I hope they at least know better now...  Cry
