Is porn a sin?
Update:
Okay I should have gone into a bit more detail. I keep hearing that it is and Matthew 5:28 forbids looking at women with lust. But what *is* lust exactly? Is it merely sexual desire? Because I definitely have a libido (17 y.o. male here) and I can't imagine that having something God made me have is sinful. Or is lust a covetous wish that you could actually have sex with that person (which I don't, I just think they're attractive).

Not at all
Watching porn is an addiction like alcoholism, tobacco and drugs. This world's addictions are the ruination of families. Children everywhere are suffering because of parents who would rather be doing other things than teaching and playing games with their kids. I have two great grandsons who have parents such as these. There is only one religion, that I know of, that teaches the importance of training up their children to be like Jesus Christ. Jehovah's Witnesses have published many books for children. The international website, jw.org has wonderful videos for all in the family, including you. I invite you to look into what the Bible teaches and watch Bible discourses on Broadcasting. Why not put your mind on wholesome things that benefit all. Pornography is ruining marriages. Should it then be counted as a sinful practice? Do you watch it in front of other people and children? If your answer is "NO" that alone should answer your question as to whether or not it is a sin. Thank you for this question and I hope you will think hard before thinking about watching such immoral activity.
Fornication : Sex before marriage,adultery, bestiality, incest, and homosexuality are all serious sins against God.
Yes...
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV)
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
By faith there is always hope in Jesus Christ who loved us. For those who will repent of their evil ways and believe, John 3:16-18, receiving the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
Watching it or doing it?
im guessing yes since they are fornicating
"Sin" is a religious word. Normal people don't use it.
Yes, without a doubt.
