| Are those actors/actresses who make hardcore porn movies committing fornication since they're just acting? I know that some porn actors claim to be Christians but they justify their "acting" career by arguing that they are just making money for their families or their mind really isn't into the sex act performed onscreen. What do you think?

Cigarettes are killing people physically; porn stars are mortifying people on a spiritual level.
Porn might still exist, even if nobody watched it. Sin has to begin somewhere. It is like illegal drugs. First, you try to get a few people to become regular users or hooked on a drug by giving them a sample before you begin to make money off their demise by catering to their addiction.
Fornication eventually came to mean "having sex with someone to whom one is not married."
The American Heritage Dictionary says:
SYLLABICATION:for·ni·ca·tion
PRONUNCIATION: fôrn-kshn
NOUN:Sexual intercourse between partners who are not married to each other.
WORD HISTORY:The word fornication had a lowly beginning suitable to what has long been the low moral status of the act to which it refers. The Latin word fornix, from which fornicatio, the ancestor of fornication, is derived, meant “a vault, an arch.” The term also referred to a vaulted cellar or similar place where prostitutes plied their trade. This sense of fornix in Late Latin yielded the verb fornicari, “to commit fornication,” from which is derived fornicatio, “whoredom, fornication.” Our word is first recorded in Middle English about 1303. |
