yes it is because pornography is a form of lust and 1peter4;1-2 says Christ suffered for us in the flesh, so arm yourself with the same mind for him that suffered in the flesh is ceased from sin that he no longer should live in the flesh to the lust of men but live according to gods will. in Ephesians5;3 says fornication and any other uncleanliness let it be no more because you have now became a child of god. When you first give your life to Christ there are somethings you just stop doing like for me i used to smoke weed, drink, curse like a sailor, i was just a mess but when i got saved i was delivered from that suddenly that was because i was serious about having a relationship with Christ but then u have those stronghold binds you from really being free from sin. My stronghold was sex i had to struggle with the spirit of lust for a good while another person stronghold might be pornography or drugs because that's something that they have been doing for a long time and in order to break a stronghold you have to stay on your face and in that word and the bible also says flee from temptation. If you really want to kill that lust spirit stop watching porn and renew your mind with his word. But you also have to will to want to stop because the bible says the lord will not go against your will.

The religious answer is yes. But the moral and ethical question is dependant on the reasons you watch pornography, and what type of pornography. If it is porn that is hurting someone else (such as children, or rape/abuse type porn) then it would be considered a sin, and a perversion. However, if it is just a sweet, romantic porn movie which is used as a tool for "foreplay" between a loving couple, then no it would not be seen as a sin, but rather a tool to a happier and healthier relationship.

A born Again Christian will not watch that junk, The ones that claims to be born again just might not be born again, Because we have put off the Old Man & put on a New man in Christ.

Just because you are "born again" doesn't mean you are spiritually healed or walking the right path. This is one of the fallacies of Christianity...you can simply profess your belief in Jesus and you are saved. Walking the true path takes daily (sometimes minutely) vigilance...this is why Muslims pray for forgiveness and guidance five times a day. If you are truly walking the right path you will have no desire to watch porn.

If and I say IF your mind in on God why would you want to watch pornography?
Better check and see if the "born again" really took the first time, you might need to be dunked again.

The fact is that if a person is a true born again christian, they dont want to look at that stuff. If they just had a warm fuzzy moment, then, nothing has changed in their life and they are right where they were before " being saved".
That stuff puts lust in your heart and mind and when you do that, its wrong. No man is perfect, but I beleive once saved ( truely saved), always saved.

Depends on your intrepretation of God. What is the message God has been trying to get accross to us from the start? Stupid rules imposed by organized religons? Or is the message simply to love and help one another and make this planet a better place to live in. We have horribly failed in our mission and have abused the bounties and resources He provided for us. No wonder He tends to stay away. We are a dissappointment and are not ready to stand beside Him. When will we learn?
Pornography? I believe it is alright as entertainment as long as no one was exploited to produce this film. All actors were willing, paid employees for filmaking and not abused, exploited, slaves.

Yes!
It promotes lustful thinking and eventually leads to the very act in some cases. And also, remember that Jesus says that sin begins in the mind. You commit adultery if you even look on someone and think about the act.

Christians will probably say yes.
I'm sure there is no mention of pornography in the Bible.
It's amazing how Christians will alter "the word of God" to suit themselves
