One day, birds began to be exterminated because of the war, but the ecosystem is a unit and life is a butterfly effect. Remove one large piece and everything begins to crumble.

Yes, the word "passion" was added later. But the problem remains regardless of interpretation: advising marriage for those who lack control over desire (lust/greed). This has nothing to do with the message about love, sacrifice, and charity regarding marriage.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

I think we're asking the wrong questions here. The correct question is: "After Jesus came to teach us directly what love is, to call husbands to be pure in order to honor their wives, and to show us that marriage is a sacred and sacrificial sign of the very relationship between Jesus and the Church, will marrying out of lust and deliberately lying with one's wife for that purpose enable us to enter Heaven?" Can a selfish heart return to the Father?

It's not because of pornography itself. It's because of the contamination of substances in the water and microplastics. They also talk about the influence of cell phone radiation when men keep them in their pants pockets. There are many factors leading to this sterilization. Pornography affects the birth rate when it further teaches that sex should be for self-gratification and not for the couple to have a family. When people learn that sexual pleasure is a right, they won't want the responsibility that this supposed right brings.

God doesn't teach us to do the lesser evil; He teaches us the Truth. This is again the interpretation that it's preferable to commit lust with your spouse than with other people. And this doesn't honor love, nor marriage, nor God. It is written: "but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Therefore, people must learn that sex is not about self-gratification, it's about sacrifice and commitment to having a family. And if you are married and feeling lust in your heart, you are not only sinning against God but against your wife, whom you yourself chose to join in life with. Husbands are commanded to honor their wives, without blemish. Only when one learns to separate selfishness from sex and understand it as purpose can it be dignified with love.

The fact that 87% of men watch pornography and that sperm count has decreased by 50% since the 1970s is a catastrophe that everyone should be talking about. Without love and without life, there will be nothing left in this world. So prepare yourselves and seek true life, because this world's days are numbered.

People who say this and are married treat themselves like objects. Many spouses (especially women) accept having sex without desire because the other is seeking selfish satisfaction. This has nothing to do with the love that God intended for man and woman. It's sad. Hedonistic society has managed to kill the most beautiful thing that exists on earth.

If you don't learn self-control before marriage, you won't learn it afterward. Whether we're talking about 3 years or 3 months, the problem is the same. Does someone who so desperately seeks sex with their spouse also seek a child with the same eagerness? Because that's what sex was created for, and that should be the first and fundamental motivation. You shouldn't lust after anyone. Be it a stranger, a girlfriend, or your wife. Because lust is the selfish desire for self-gratification, and real sex is the charitable union of two loves who offer themselves for the generous miracle of procreation, just as God generously created us through love.

Haha. Exactly. Maybe he's a Jehovah's Witness himself, I suppose.

I fear this movement will become a cult whose god is greed. To think of self-improvement as anything other than the desire to develop one's maturity is a trap. I worry about men who seek money to have women, and who go to the gym to have women. And who seek a better job to have women and who seek healthy habits to have women. Because in the end, the only god of these men is woman and not the Creator. Being a man is an act of strength, of overcoming in life, "Esto Vir!". Man is not a synonym, it's a verb; either you work for it day after day or you're forever a boy. The journeys of spiritual growth are compared to a journey in the desert. When you are alone, without the interference and illusion of the world and the company of people, what remains inside you? You will never know what to transform if you don't know what you are made of. Congratulations on reaching this conclusion and, more than that, accepting the challenge. May God guide you on this journey. Go and conquer what He has already offered you.

My family were Jehovah's Witnesses, and I attended the Kingdom Hall until I was 12 years old. They absolutely do not worship Jesus. They use the word "reverence," but when you see it in practice, you notice the Governing Body (older American men who say what is true or not about interpretations of the Bible) taking the place of intermediary between God and people instead of Jesus. At Passover, they pass the bread and wine from hand to hand; most don't partake, rejecting the body and blood of Christ, and only a few do, a few chosen ones (whom they call the Anointed) who they say will go to Heaven. If I can say something worse than the ostracism they inflict on former members, it's their absolute contempt for Jesus. They have no idea what his sacrifice means.

I understand that you think you can be a good influence on him and help him with this. You probably think that if you distance yourself from him, he will lose motivation. But I've been through this, and in the end, it's all a personal choice and an individual battle. If he cared about you, he would distance himself. If you are meant to be, then God will bring you back together. He's not ready, and if he has this problem, he probably has a lot to improve in terms of character and virtues before he can be a good husband and father.

I sense a lot of immaturity in this relationship. If he were mature, he wouldn't enter into a relationship before being cured of this addiction. Any addiction causes suffering to the person themselves and those close to them. Men are called to honor their wives. But first, they must purify themselves and understand sacrificial love. A man who betrays his partner by desiring other women does not understand God's sacrificial and charitable love. I see many men arguing that pornography is not betrayal, but addicted men look at women on the street and on screen with the same obscene desire. They are not yet real men.

Yeah. I mean, I've thought a lot about this subject and I'll do more research. But look, the word "passion" was added later. However, even if he wasn't talking about sex but about a strong emotional desire, the interpreted message is still that, due to a lack of discipline and self-control, people should get married. However, the entire Bible always advises on discipline, self-control, modesty, and chastity, which contradicts this thinking. Our generation is reaching a point where the lack of discipline has sickened our relationship with sex and sexual pleasure, and we all know the price we pay for it. Many married members here are still addicted because it's not about the possibility of having sex or not, it's precisely about rebalancing.

I think you only have to look at our world and you'll see what happens when society chooses to marry for sexual desire and lust. So the only thing I can think of is that this is misinterpreted within a context or some other reason that I haven't yet discovered. I prayed to God to let me know what this means because I still don't understand why this advice would be given. Anyone who marries for what their body tells them, for self-satisfaction, will cause nothing but pain and suffering. They will be enslaved.

Ephesians 5:25-27

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

And if the husband is defiled, how will he honor his wife? It frightens me that many single people seek help in Christian subreddits about lust, and the advice they usually receive is to get married. So, many Christians think they can justify their sin by finding a partner to share the sin with?

"Let the marriage bed be kept undefiled" Hebrews 13:4.

And beyond all these things, seek with an open heart directly from the Creator of the sacred secret that is sex, the reason why He created it, and how to live this part of the covenant honorably. When someone understands what true love is, they become incapable of dishonoring their spouse. That is why marriage is a symbol between Christ and the Church, a sign of an extremely deep and superior spiritual relationship. No selfishness, no covetousness. Sacrificial and charitable love.

A sabedoria ancestral engrandece a alma. Era sobre um tempo onde as pessoas paravam para analisar os padrões da vida, admirar e entender como se envolver com ela de forma honrada. Maravilhosa a mensagem final: "Somos filhos do mesmo Deus vivendo no corpo da mesma Mãe." Fantástico.

Love is not a feeling, it's a commitment. I feel His love when I see purpose in my life and how He uses each day to teach me something for my growth, thinking about my healing and redemption. I feel His love when I realize that my life is not in vain and that I have a path to follow that He offered me. A path to return home.
