Matthew 5:28 is mistranslated in nearly all Bible translations, and the mistranslation has been the cause of many false man-made teachings for centuries.
Firstly, the word translated "lust" is the word used elsewhere in the Bible for "covet" (and covetousness implies actual intent to possess something, not mere admiration). Secondly, the word translated "woman" is a term used throughout the Bible for married women, not single ones. Thirdly, the context of the verse is adultery (not fornication). Fourthly, the Sermon on the Mount was a sermon about the Ten Commandments, one of which was the commandment not to covet anything that belongs to others.
A translation of the verse that preserves its true meaning would be:
"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a married woman to covet her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
Also, at the time this verse was written, unmarried girls did not mix with men, but were generally guarded like crazy. There was no "right" to have sex outside of marriage, but this was severely forbidden in most cultures, certainly in the Middle East. So the verse focuses on women who were sexually active, i.e., married women. Lust is one of the passions, which means something that has taken over one's soul, as pornography does today. Virgins, which comprised the majority of unmarried girls , were not objects to pursue for one's pleasure, as they are today, and it was not common for girls to pursue a life of fornication, as they do today. Things were better for girls then. To be used by men is not a good thing for the soul of a girl.
Yep if you go looking for "analysis" that refutes clearly stated words in the Bible to justify the things the world promotes as "good" you will always find it. There are tons of people that have sought out the supposed loopholes in God's law and published them to put your little sinning heart at ease.
Because as we know God is a beep boop "letter of the law" automaton and not a "spirit of the law" sort of guy.
Don't worry though every single translation of the Bible is wrong on this point.

What seems plainly worded in an English translation is not always worded in a way that means the same thing in the original Hebrew or Greek. It's always important to study the original meanings of the original words when trying to determine the true meaning of a Bible verse.
Don't worry though every single translation of the Bible is wrong on this point.
Isn’t it convenient that out of all the translations that get it “wrong” you found one that agrees with how you want to behave which also just happens to agree with how the world wants us to behave.
Christianity is easy when you pick and choose what works for you!
It's not about picking and choosing what works for one. There are many things that I've discovered in analyzing the Bible that are not what I would prefer. Some of them make life harder than it is for most people. But it's important to look critically for the original meaning of the words rather than taking English translations uncritically, whether the results wind up being more lenient or more strict than what most people believe (and there are quite a few of both instances).
So to break this down even further. There are a myriad of differences between the various translations with often significant changes from verse to verse compared to others.
This is one of those times where each translation agrees across the board, but you want to find the interpretation that agrees with how the satanic world wants us to behave.
This is a moment to actually think about how you are being misled.
It can refer to a married woman or it could be a non married woman. But i doubt anyone would agree that if you were married and slept with a unmarried woman you would be guilty of adultery. The sin here has to do with the heart...it is the coveting that is the sin not the marital status of the woman.

Because that’s the fight. Of course we are saturated from the world. Men and women look at the opposite sex and sometimes think impure thoughts. To act on those thoughts is even worse. Where were you trying to do better? Thoughts enter the mind. Look away, remind yourself what it right. Remind yourself to do better. Apologize to the Lord, your dearest friend and love. Jesus will never abandon you. He has had ever sin you or I has ever had laid upon Him. Out of anyone you know, Jesus knows your struggles the most. So you just have to ask yourself. How can I do this better Lord? Help me with these impure thoughts Lord. I do not wish to hurt you or myself. I hope to walk better on your path. I know I can do better. I will try my Lord. Thank you for your forgiveness and love my Lord. Thank you.
Totally fine! That's really the only person you should be lusting over. That is within the context of a marriage and often will lead to procreation, which is what God want's of us.
Naw, the young girls have been brainwashed into thinking sex work and onlyfans type shit is "empowering". Watch the netflix show called "hot girls wanted"... they arent slaves, or underage. Just naieve 18 year olds thinking they will make millions, when in fact they maybe last 2 to 4 months before quitting...
you just can't be against trafficking of children and still watch porn, period, no wiggle room. There is no such thing as a sex worker as an adult who was not exploited as a child, as a minor. Abuse your child, beat them, make them fear you, they will run to the first arms that will protect them, and guess who that is?It ain't Jesus, because many abusive homes are so called "good christians".
Healthy wtf??? What bible are you reading? Masturbation is never healthy, period. Don't tell yourself lies to feed your addiction.
When you stop masturbating, your semen is reabsorbed into your body, making yourself more attractive, more alpha and more intelligent.
In other words if you want to be a hot super alpha, control yourself. Go to the nofap community on Reddit if you are still addicted and seek help.
Masturbation being healthy is a lie sold to fuck people up big time.
That's the medical side, not religious. There are huge benefits mentally to abstaining, but we're talking about going from once a day to cold turkey which is probably impossible for the person I replied to
Medically speaking, they say that once a week is how you keep peak levels of testosterone, but that's obviously up for debate
Porn is 100 percent hurtful and should never be indulged in, and that's generally universally agreed upon both morally and medically
I was never big into that, but stopped completely a few months ago. I don't regret it, I don't miss it. Gives me more time to search for the elusive right woman for me, whom I can't seem to find.
Quitting porn was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Quit weed too fairly recently. This movement and Jesus gave me the strength to do this. So thank you everyone here!
I quit because I realized I had no idea who was and wasn't being raped. This is emotionally unpalatable. Likewise I realized I only found the whole thing vile after I had stopped for about a month.
Before you resist the idea of quitting you should consider your biochemistry might be a factor as well in your resistance. Take a long hiatus, and least a month and consider your own emotions about porn and your positive female relationships afterwards.
Who needs porn when they can stare into the violent flames of their country burning down to the ground. We all have a front row seat to what progressives and globalists have done. It’s far better entertainment and far scarier than violent sodomy.
Not that anybody here cares, but I tried NNN and after two weeks of abstinence I was a horny nerve wreck. It is a lie that it gets easier. With each passing day, it gets worse, much worse. Fortunately, I didn't lose NNN to masturbation nor homosex.
It rewires the male brain in a bad way and screws with testosterone levels and release, definitely cabal related as it makes men meeker or more docile, its male social media
I stopped porn and fapping kinda spontaneously. Wasn’t trying, just happened. My wife and I are in a sexual renaissance right now where all inhibitions just fell away and we’re fucking like animals several times a week. And it’s way more than just physical for me…it’s been a massively soul-opening process that has reignited my love for everything about her as well as us as two-become-one. I think I’ve JO’d twice in the past month and both times it was induced by thinking about the things we did the night before, so I gave it a pass. Still, it’s been real nice having all this extra masculine energy coursing through me. At 48 I was really feeling depleted all around and I don’t doubt the porn habit was contributing to that.

The Wycliffe translation gets it correct.

Rationalize harder, but it won't deliver you.
The hopium people seek in here is just as bad.
This is the vice I've been trying to kick for a long while now. It's key to spiritual health IMO

All your nitpicking doesn't change the meaning and spirit of Jesus' admonition.
No, but the centuries-old mistranslation changes it completely.
The sin though is clear...coveting that which you do not have.
Don't cast your pearls before swine. If they don't want to hear, then let them be deaf.
I've always had a problem with this line. If it's adultery to simply lust then why resist the act itself if you're already supposedly committing it?
Which isn't me saying go commit adultery, or watch porn. Don't do either of those things. It just confuses me.
Because that’s the fight. Of course we are saturated from the world. Men and women look at the opposite sex and sometimes think impure thoughts. To act on those thoughts is even worse.

It's a mind battle, you can't help lust but you do control whether you indulge in it in your mind or battle against it to reject it.
A simple "no that's bad" when you look at another woman goes a long way in your mind and with God.
What about lust for your own spouse
Totally fine! That's really the only person you should be lusting over. That is within the context of a marriage and often will lead to procreation, which is what God want's of us.
Funny how porn is legal and instantly available for free.
Would be great to get anons looking into these companies and figuring out who owns them.
Pretty sure they all are satanic cabal faggots that want to destroy the minds and souls of men.
Naw, the young girls have been brainwashed into thinking sex work and onlyfans type shit is "empowering". Watch the netflix show called "hot girls wanted"... they arent slaves, or underage. Just naieve 18 year olds thinking they will make millions, when in fact they maybe last 2 to 4 months before quitting...
And how many are underage?
Same here. When you realize the "actors" are broken and trafficked people.
Also porn is a bit hard to watch after waking up because you see a lot of symbolism around. You start analyzing tatoos, artwork, etc.
you just can't be against trafficking of children and still watch porn, period, no wiggle room. There is no such thing as a sex worker as an adult who was not exploited as a child, as a minor. Abuse your child, beat them, make them fear you, they will run to the first arms that will protect them, and guess who that is?It ain't Jesus, because many abusive homes are so called "good christians".

Thanks!

Can we still Jack it to our imagination???
You can do whatever you want.
The real question is "Is it wise to do that?"
Try living a few weeks without needlessly spilling your seed into your hands and find out!
It’s so fucking hard not to spill your seed for an extended period of time after doing so literally almost every day for a decade…
2 weeks is as far as I’ve made it without caving again.
It's supposed to be healthy to do it in moderation. Overdo it and you can end up with a lot of issues both physically and psychologically
Healthy wtf??? What bible are you reading? Masturbation is never healthy, period. Don't tell yourself lies to feed your addiction. When you stop masturbating, your semen is reabsorbed into your body, making yourself more attractive, more alpha and more intelligent.

Seriously, going cold turkey after a decade is like putting a kink into a garden hose and expecting it not to pop sooner or later.
Found the liberal monkey pox spreader.
Perfect illustration of what this does to your mind!
Stop abusing your pets, and if you can find the time stop abusing yourself as well.
It’s a joke. You guys are so unbelievable here
Yeah it's the people that found your statement on sexually violating your animal companions disgusting that are the unbelievable ones.
Sadly, that isn't a joke anymore.
Yeah I get the sock but the pet? Come on Cornpop!
I was never big into that, but stopped completely a few months ago. I don't regret it, I don't miss it. Gives me more time to search for the elusive right woman for me, whom I can't seem to find.
Solid advice. I will attempt to do exactly that.

Hunter... it that you?
Yes, but mostly your soul will benefit and you can free yourself from slavery to Satan.
When you feel the urge Look at the lefty women!!
Funny, but associating horny feelings with leftists isn't an association that you want. Try doing push-ups.
Couldn't resist the joke.

I think feminism is in favor of Only Fans, because it "empowers" women.
Modern feminists love "sex work," porn, sexual liberation, and being narcissistic attention whores.
And somehow they found a way to 'double dip the chip.' Appearing like angels with the experiences of harlots.
