For well over a year weβve been running a second Answering βPreparing To Be A Help Meetβ on Sundays, filled with questions by young ladies trying to get ready for marriage. Since weβve run through many of the questions on their site itβs time to shift Sundays to something else, like perhaps examining the cornucopia of probably fake emails and questions that Michael and Debi Pearl of No Greater Joy post on their website and the possibly poisonous answers they give.
Read the question and answer fully here.
Dear Michael,
I am a husband and a stepfather of a three-year-old. Iβm hooked on pornography. I sometimes think I canβt make it without it.I read your pamphlet Pornography, Road To Hell, and it fit me. Iβm 29 and I need someone to talk to. I need lotβs of prayers. I want to stop this bondage I am in. I could use some help. God bless your website.
And Michaelβs answer:
Β I said you donβt need to talk to anyone, because no one can help you. You donβt have an emotional problem that you need to βwork through.β You donβt need affirmation or understanding. Yours is not a failure of information. You are a sinner, living after the flesh, and you are dead in trespasses and sins. No counselor can help you deal with your sin.
I said you donβt need help because no one can help you decide what you value. If you love the flesh and do not fear God, if you are not afraid of hell, if you do not value your marriage and your self-respect, if you choose to have the worldview of a baboonβto eat, sleep, and play with yourselfβno one can help you except to assure you of the misery you will experience in this life and of damnation in the next.I said you donβt need prayer, because God does not help sinners quit their sin. God commands the sinner to repent, and then God places his Spirit inside of believers, and by that Spirit the children of God are all overcomers. Those who are not overcomers are overcome of sin and will continue to be enslaved unless they become truly born again.
Not a lot of mercy there, or decent advice.
