No. I've got enough of a time dealing with the lustful urges that I already have. I don't want -- or need -- more of them.

If anyone wants more lustful urges all he or she needs to do is to feed the ones that they have already. Those will grow and can totally take over a life in a very short period of time.
Devotion isn't proved by battling stronger urges. Devotion is proved by doing what God has called us to do. Sure, self-denial is a part of what God asks, but a large part is the things that we are told to do, like caring for the sick, feeding the hungry, caring for widows and orphans, and on and on.
It's the little urges, like wanting to have more time to myself, that usually get in the way of devotion.

Are the very lustful more devoted to God?

No. I wish nature didn't put lustful urges in me so I would spend less time on the internet.

Devotion is not an act of lust, but a labor of love.

We're already lustful enough. Type in "porn" on Google and see the millions of search results appear. I don't know how much more lustful we can get.

you and your body are one. Be responsible for your own actions. Lust actually can sway you from devotion.

OMG are all christians this challenged, please people stop wasting yahoo bandwith, your pastor (ya know they guy you look up to for guidance , and is currently searching the net for kiddie porn)is the one to ask this question! for as the bible would say, god does not ask you to proove yourself, its nota competition, theres no big prioze for the most devoted, remember its all about meekness (something about they will enherit the earth), come people I love theological discussions, but PLEASE give good questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
