Will God forgive me?

Question

I am a Christian with a porn addiction. I just keep watching it (like once every 2 months for the past year). I tend to watch it when my husband is out of town. After I watch it I feel awful! I know it's wrong but I keep watching it. Will God forgive me over and over again?

Answer

Watching it once every two months is not an addiction. A porn addiction is when you spend all your time watching it - to the point where it's ruining the rest of your life because all you do is watch porn.

You don't have an addiction - you have a thing you like to watch on infrequent occasions when you get lonely.

I go out for drinks once every two-three months or so - that doesn't make me an alcoholic.

As for your views on going to hell based on your leisurely occasional porn viewing, I can't say.

Answer

You need to tell someone. If you can't tell your husband yet then you need to tell a Christian friend or just someone you trust so that they can keep you accountable. Of course God forgives but it's like would you keep forgiving your husband if he cheated on you twice a month? My husband had a porn addiction (same as you, like a couple times a month) before we were married. He finally told me cause he didn't want it anymore. I was so angry but he sought out wise counsel from our church and no longer does it. This was about a year ago.

Answer

Yes, if he forgave me, he'll forgive you!
