you or he was sick sorry, but that is part of the addiction with porn. It turns into a sexual addiction,
It than sometimes takes on the alcohol part, and then when you get pompous you start the other
Then you have a husge mess by watching others struggle, not my personal struggle

Reed further to 1 John 1:9-10
I wasn't talking about porn. Are you talking about your previous addiction?

Why verses 9 and 10 in that order? 9 is being cleansed of all unrighteousness; and 10 is saying you were born sinless - a lie. In 1 John there is a Hebrew style of writing used that starts with verse 5 and contrasts with the next verses all the way to 10. The contrast is Light vs. Darkness. It is an EASTERN style of writing.

5. God is Light
6. Walk in Darkness
7. Walk in the Light
8. Say you have no sin (In Darkness)
9. Confess and be cleansed of all unrighteousness. (In other words, come to the Light)
10. If you say you haven't sinned. (In Darkness)

Many with western minds can't see it. They even think they have to always admit to being a sinner, when that is the opposite of Paul, also eastern, who told us to reckon ourselves free from sin, lest we sin. John is not telling a Christian to always say they are sinners, but the unsaved to BECOME Christians. Many westerners are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid, and won't study to make themselves approved. I get so sick of showing that Jesus took away our sin, only for someone stupid quoting 1 John 1:8. There was even one recently in this very thread.
