10/10/2019 Porn Laws I agree with perseus. I think the porn law isn’t going to be effective at all. Learn from the history! Humans strived to rebel to the law either in action or in their minds. Gus Dur once said about the prosecutions towards Christian churches: Violence Muslims made the wrong move. Bombing, closing up churches by force, killing pastors, burning Christian villages; all the prosecutions will not make Christians dissapear. Instead it opens more and more prayer houses. Today there are more churches than it was before! IF ONLY Muslims give them freedom instead of persecutions, freedom to do whatever they want; then what will happen? Christians will be divided by themselves. Churches will close themselves because none will come. Same thing happen in pornographic law. Tighting the hold will not make the problem disappear, instead it just makes the problem sporadic uncontrollable by the government. 27. Harvey says: September 26, 2008 at 6:53 am Everyone ultimately does what they want to. NO LAW can keep people from sinning. But sometimes FEAR of government does effect their practices. Government is a function given by God for the punishment of EVIL DOERS. And praise to those that do GOOD. Porn is worthless of NO GOOD, to individuals or society according to God’s laws. I do not speak of whatever goes on in the bedroom of a consenting husband and wife between them in their privacy before God. This is UNDEFILED as the marriage bed is according to God’s laws. Publicly, was it right for Jacob to KISS Rachel? Did they ever kiss again in the next 7 years before marriage??? Again when, “Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac [was] sporting with Rebekah his wife.” Was the King sexually aroused by what he observed? He saw enough to figure out that she was NOT HIS SISTER, but instead his wife. And Isaac had lied and broken the ninth commandment Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Which could have caused Abimelech to covet after Rebekah for she was a beautiful woman. Exo 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, And they were neighbours for him to look out his window and see this. So what others do — does effect us doesn’t it.? In Egypt when Father Abraham said Sarah was his sister, so that Pharaoh desired her for his harem was Pharaoh sexually aroused by something he had seen Abraham do to Sarah? Kissing or even some pure loving actions and attractions can instill and raise desire in an on-looker who is not sexually fulfilled. So self-control is always needed by everyone. Not to perform public acts and also not to be fascinated and attracted by things we might accidentally see but were not intended to view. But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured www.indonesiamatters.com/2474/porn-laws/ 16/19
