The Bible does not specifically mention pornography as it is a modern invention. However, it does address the issue of lust and sexual immorality. In Matthew 5:28, Jesus says, “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” This can be applied to the consumption of pornography as well, as it involves lusting after someone who is not your spouse. Additionally, 1 Corinthians 6:18 warns against sexual immorality and urges us to flee from it. While pornography may not be explicitly mentioned in the Bible, it is clear that the consumption of it goes against biblical principles and can lead to sinful behavior.
