what is the value of sharing that? so everyone else goes to check it out now? Come on dude
-
Why would you purposefully fill your mind with horrific things instead of Heavenly things?
-
Yes, it is, the way I think about is this, would you watch it with Jesus? If not then stay away from watching it.
My concern would be why anyone would be curious to see something like that in the first place, or how someone could watch it without any emotional reaction, fear, sadness, discomfort… Etc…
Short answer, it is wrong to watch things like that.
-
Was it wrong for Christians to go to gladiator fights or executions of Christians for entertainment?
-
I think you need to ask yourself why watching violence being perpetrated on a human being entertains you. Does it give you an adrenaline rush? Wouldn’t that be analogous to using drugs? It is the same sick mentality that the ancient Romans had when they would go to the Coliseum to watch gladiatorial battles and people being ripped apart by animals. So to answer your question yes it is morally wrong to be entertained by the violence to and death of human beings. It shows that you have a lack of empathy for the sufferings of others. ‘Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ‘ (Philippians 4:8)

Why would you want to

Why would you want to?

I’ve never heard of a shocksite
-
All things are dispensable but not all things are profitable. To say be careful with what u see if Christ won’t like to see it or say what Christ won’t see.
-
If you’re on shock sites for entertainment or sexual satisfaction I don’t care if you’re atheist, Christian or pagan, you need help.
-
If you love what God loves and hate what God hates, why would you want to visit those?
-
Sin? Maybe not. Bad taste? Yep…

I struggled with the same question regarding pornography. Am I hurting anyone? I am not actually ‘doing’ anything with the people on the screen. I am just watching.
The Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart that if I am watching, and my thoughts are engaged in the activity, then I am participating. When I watch pornography I am contributing to the sin that is occurring on screen.
Is what you are watching something you would be comfortable doing in real life? You are asking the question because of the discomfort you already feel. Listen to that.
Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
-
no as long it does lead you to sin
-
Yes, if you desire to go on those sites I would really consider what your relationship with Jesus is, if you’ve turned from your sins and believe in Him He will give you a new heart, mind, and spirit that won’t desire to actively seek out that kind of garbage. I would pray about that if that’s something you’re in to. I used to get on those when I was a teenager and it’s incredibly damaging to your spirit, if the Holy Spirit resides in you that should sort of stuff should grieve you.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. – Philippians 4:8
-
Yes. Don’t do it.
-
Does it align with the things that Jesus taught to you to think on
-
If thine eye offend thee~
-
Your Eyes are the window to your Soul…. Think about it….
-
Garbage in garbage out
-
No it is a mindset and a preference. It is not everybody’s thought processes. Sin is a transgression of Gods divine law to all men.
-
would u let ur kids (videos, etc) watch it them ???
-
you are what you eat, this is what you should watch and eat 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
his flesh is the word of God, and the word was made flesh John 1:14 -
There is verse somewhere about not loving violence. I can’t remember where it is
-
No.
-
I’m assuming that the violence is a result of sinful actions, that makes you a participant
-
If ur a parent, would yu want your kids to view those things?
-
Is it a sin to read the violent passages of the Bible? ??♂️
-
Phil 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
-
They surely influence you
-
if it will lead you to sin yes
by the way what is your reason in going to those sites? -
Does it bring glory to God?
-
There’s no sin in seeing those things but why would you want to
-
Why would you want to? Wouldn’t your time be better spent in study of the scriptures, in prayer, reading doctrinally sound authors like , Watson, MacArthur, Ferguson etc…our thoughts should be h a lid captive to Christ.
-
What on earth would be the point in doing that!?
-
If you do so – it will change your personality and you will end up hard hearted possibly with a strong desire to do similar things in time.
-
If it causes you to sin then it is a sin.
-
Creating an audience for any type of content helps support it as a business. If the content is real violence or porn, there’s a high likelihood that going to such a site is helping to support human trafficking &/or slavery. I personally wish there wasn’t a demand for such content so that it wasn’t a viable business to dedicate an entire site to. As for something being a sin, I believe we each need to pay attention to our own consciences.
-
I didn’t even know there were such things. I know it would not be a good thing for me, even if simply curious. In my heart I know that if I were to use the violence for any manner of personal enjoyment or entertainment that I would not like myself very much. I know I would lose self respect and damage my dignity.
Already I have a hard time with regular scripted Hollywood explicitness. -
Yes.
-
Yes, and further, I would go on to say it would be wrong not to report them:
-
WWJD?
-
If so, was being present and having observed the crucifiction-I tend to change the x for a c when talking about the christ-of Jesus (assuming it happened) a sin due to the violence?. If not, what difference made it not so and how?
-
I’m not sure if I’d say it’s sinful but I would argue it’s probably not beneficial (1 Corinthians 10:23)
