VOWS 04/27/20 (Mon) 01:34:42 c201b0 No.831979

Let’s discuss vows.

In a state of self-disappointment I made a permanent vow to never watch porn again. That was 6 months ago. Specifically, I couldn’t visit porn sites, red boards, or google/YouTube explicit porn material. So far, I’ve kept that vow, though there are still ways for arousing material to creep in, such as on blue boards, TV, etc. My porn habit has definitely been cut down, but I still have trouble masturbating. I’m not sure if I regret this vow or not, and I’ve made several other related vows that I’ve kept, though they were temporary. I’m not sure if I should go all in and start making more, stronger vows, or refrain from doing any more. Vows of omission are easier, but permanence does scare me. Yet, I’m not sure if I would be moved to make a vow every morning, or after whatever temporary interval I choose. I see so much potential through vows, but they are dangerous, especially when poorly thought out. I think it would better to be without vows, but could they be used for improvement so that we can someday go without them and be better through them?

Thoughts?

>Thoughts?

First, what denomination are you in. Viewing Porn and self abuse are mortal sins in the Catholic church… Not sure about others.

Do you believe these things to be mortal sins?

Let me tell you something: when Jesus died for you on the cross, he saw this coming, he saw your problems, your anguish, your trials, your temptations, and you know what else? He still went to the cross because of the joy that's set before him, including the relationship he'll have with you. So, what's the conclusion? He's proud of you for fighting. Keep doing good. He's couldn't be happier.

Keep your head up. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for. And do not make vows. Who gave you this bad idea? Certainly not Christ. Just take it a day at a time.

"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." - Matthew 5:33-37

so are oaths, vows, and swearing all the same thing?
