All of creation always points to God as the creator except for us. We are given the choice to love God, or reject Him, for if we have no choice would it be love? Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve betrayed God's command and God created a convenant nation of Israel and gave system of sacrifices to pay for their sins.

Rarely is a woman's battle with porn mentioned. I am afraid this leaves many of my sisters feeling alone, confused, ashamed, and messed up, like they are some kind of sick-o, slut, or freak.

It is extremely uncomfortable to discuss, and many pastors themselves deal with it, so who are they to speak on it?
