Does God hate porn?

Where is that in the Bible? I can’t find it.

I’m catching up with Kanye West, the new convert to Christianity, saying how God got him off porn. Now he’s letting the world know how bad it is! “And it just presents itself in the open like it’s okay, and I stand up and say, ‘No, it’s not okay.’”

But I’m trying to find where God the Ultimate Creator of Everything says: Stop looking at each other.

Is it in the Bible? Can you tell me where?

“You have eyes — can’t you see?” Jesus says.

Let’s go over some basic biblical facts?

All humans are loved by God (cf. 1 Jn 4:8; Mt 5:44).

The “commandment” of Jesus is to “love one another” (John 13:34; cf. Gal 5:6; 1 Jn 3:11, 3:23, 4:7, 4:11, 4:12; 2 Jn 6).

The only comment that Jesus seems to make on clothes is not to ‘worry’ about them (Lk 12:22; Mt 6:25).

What we call “porn” — as a theological situation — seems to be one loved person looking at another, and expressing feeling toward them that may or may not be loving.

Could porn use be humans not treating each other lovingly? Maybe so. But that is not a restriction of sexual display. The human body is never bad. And men, in Kanye West’s example, are not given any…
