We are living in some evil, twisted and confused times. There are a bunch of nuts on the internet. I watched a YouTube video today (with over 330,000 views) by some religious nut who actually said he doesn't think sexual lust is a sin. He claimed that Christians who preach against lust misinterpret Matthew 5:28 in the Bible, where the Lord said lusting upon a woman is the same as adultery. The video's author claims that Christians misunderstand the Lord's warning. What a reprobate! The Scriptures plainly teach that lust entices a person, which conceives sin. James 1:14-15, “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” Lust is a sin. Sexual lust is a sin. Engaging in lust doesn't prevent sexual sins. Every man contends with lust. There is no escaping it, except to resist the temptation as the Bible teaches in 1st Corinthians 10:13, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” No man can avoid temptation, but we can escape as per the Lord's promise to make a way of escape.
