If I watch a porn movie, could it keep me from going to heaven?

Sincerely,
Just One Viewing

Dear Just One Viewing,

Pornography is sinful, and it is popular because it is sinful.  Pornography is based upon lusting after people you aren’t married to (Matt 5:27-28).  Pornography is a lie that substitutes sexual fantasies for genuine marital love.  Pornography is wrong inside a marriage because it corrupts the marriage, and it is wrong outside of a marriage because it destroys any chance for healthy relationships.  Pornography is a sexual sin and can definitely keep you from going to heaven (1 Cor 6:9).  Furthermore, pornography has been found to be highly addictive – one viewing leads to another, leads to another, and eventually, your soul is capsized by this sin.
