I never ever heard of a Christian encouraging pornography and I have been a Christian for 37 years.

Desiring someone as a person and not an object. That might be the best definition of love I ever heard.

This was a really enlightnening video. I've been thinking for a while now how are or why are people so self-centered hedonists circulating only around their own needs and desires. Furthermore seeing them being unhappy although they have anyone to f with and anyone to use for their own desires. I've made the assumption that the more variety with sex people have, the more miserable people become. Maybe it does have something to do with the fact that loyalty and trust are the main compartments of responsibility and shame is something that tries to warn us about doing morally wrong and selfishly (like Scruton said). The more variety one has with sex, the more one really does compare the encounters between eachother. No matter how one would want it to be. Then it becomes not unique as such where you automatically pick up differences between individuals but don't really bond with anyone since your brain has rotted with these different experiences which have worn off the desire and its meaning in on itself. Many people are never going to be able to feel such connection that is so deep and tight that only a lifelong dedicatement to one another could achieve, where both are learning everything from experimenting things together.

Apparently, this was part of a ‘conference’ but I can’t find any related information or the list of speakers. Help me?

A shame the Institute didn’t open the lecture to questions and comments.

There is an “I” apart from the body? I love Sir Roger, but, sorry.

One point worth mentioning: *SEX IS NOT LOVE* in any shape or form.

It's fun how often the deep thinkers put forth by the Know Nothing side of the spectrum tend to head toward the Straw Man first, almost inevitably. "Sir" Roger starts this talk there, and goes nowhere after.

Roger Scruton was probably the only person who could talk about sex without either laughing nervously himself or anyone in the audience doing so.

Is there more ?

Ted Bundy spoke about the dangers of girly magazines. When this Islamic teacher said that the first image implants itself in the mind for ever is exactly precise . Guard your child’s eyes and guard your own eyes from the filth out there.

In our 21st Century world, "Desire is an attempt to fill a void," is one of the most profound statements that I have ever heard. We know from Surah Teen that Man (humans) were created in the best of forms but they have the ability to become the lowest of the low. Some Muslim leaders will say that something is haram so you have to leave it alone but life is not always that simple. Allah created man from earth and then breathed into him from His Ruh (spirit) so our essence comes from the lowly and the angelic. We have our fitra (born in a state of purity) and our Naffs Amara encouraging us to satisfy our desires. Nature and nurture, if a person has righteous parents that follow the guidance of Islam, it may cultivate the child's fitra in a good way, but if a child is raised in an environment of corruption and immorality, only the mercy of Allah can protect the child.

Roger Scrotum describes sex penetrating the conversation. This is the funniest thing ever.

Wow

الكاسب حبيب الله in English ttanslation

'Penetrated the culture'.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The best pun ever... That got under the American humor RADAR...

Could someone please link the article?

There are literally no muslims that can say these words once only->> I refuse to be deceived by the devil. Rev.12:9 The devil deceives the whole world. Other fake faith followers be in the same boat regrettably. Refuse Jesus your God = Accept Lucifer your lord Jesus is God unquestionably,fake faith followers are full of demons & must tell lies. There are no fake faith followers able to place their right palm on the KJV and say these words once only->> I refuse to tell lies about God. 🤷🏼‍♂️

God's resolve: get Holy Spirit filled and change effortlessly. Through Christ, God gave us back the divine life mankind lost in its fall. Hence the divine healing miracles and casting out of demons, we experience up to this day. To not see God in Christ.... is impossible. "The Father and I are one!" "If you see Me, you see the Father!" "Don't you believe that the Father is IN Me?" "ALL (!) AUTHORITY in heaven and earth has been given to Me!". (Only God has all authority). At healing the paralytic: "Your sins have been forgiven you!" (Only God can forgive sins). "I am THE (not a) light of the world"......: God. "I have come to give you Zoë (=divine life) in abundance".... Only God can give Zoë life. "I am from above, you are from beneath. You are from this world, I am not from this world"..... Etc, etc, etc, When He explained these things, healed the sick, casted out demons, raised the dead, controlled nature for 3 years, they all worshipped Him as God/Messiah.... except for the critical scholars and farisees! He NEVER said: "Don't worship Me, I am just a prophet!". The Jews wanted to stone Him because: "You claim to be God". So Jesus is God manifesting in Human form. Period. Glad He did. So now we finally know the sayings and actions of God. Next step. To not see Jesus bringing the divine life of the ages back to you-manity.... is impossible. "I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, etc, etc" "Follow Me, the miracles I do, you will do too" "God is IN you" "The Kingdom of God is IN you" "He who meets you, meets Me". "You and I are one" "You will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am in you" "See, I have given you power over all the forces of the enemy" "I have come to give you Zoë (=divine life) in abundance!" Etc, etc, etc. Hence the divine healing miracles and casting out of demons with His first 12+72 friends. As i understood these things, i experienced healing miracles and the casting out of demons already thousands of times and many other true believers do too. Yay! Conclusion of Paul after having revelation and healing all on Malta: "Jesus, the exact image of the invisible God. The fullness of deity dwells in Jesus bodily" and you have been made complete IN Him (the last Adam), who is the head of every principality and power". John (who had seen, touched, heard Jesus and walked in the same power and love): "the invisible God manifested in human form, in Christ and now in us". Thomas having revelation saying to Jesus: "My Lord and My God!". Jesus being God did NOT correct Him. Etc, etc, etc. His life totally proves He is God in human form. Begotten by the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God, healing all, raising the dead, casting out demons, controlling nature, raised from the dead, pouring out His Spirit for us to be indwelled by to be empowered to heal the sick and cast out demons, etc, etc, etc. Way to much to degrade Him to "just a prophet". So... Jesus is the manifestation of God in a human body.... "the Son" of God. He came to take the alienation away mankind got trapped in after the fall. He came to give us back the divine life Adam/mankind lost in its fall. Because of this fall, a perfect Holy sacrifice had to be made. That is what God did in Christ! It shows His deep, pure, affectionate passion from Him to you/His creation, to restore you back to origin: Christlikeness. Walking in divine power and unselfish divine love. Jesus walked flawless. Muhammed on the other hand.... Muhammed came after Jesus. He unfortunately never understood God's resolve for mankind's fall, wrote another story, called it the only truth, cutting of the real truth, leading millions astray from their godly identity in Christ. Heartbreaking. But for those who take Jesus for who He is and ask to be filled by His godly Holy Spirit.....: divine life. Tangible presence of God, healings, demons running for cover, etc. Just as with His first 12+72 friends. God will make you experience the full (godly) Life made possible through Holy Spirit. So don't be afraid to leave islam. God can only be found in/through Jesus Christ. Ask Him to fill you with His/God's Holy Spirit so He can guide you into truth and transform your life. You and God/Jesus are finally one again. He will open your eyes and give you Zoë (divine life). You will be growing into Him in all things. The life you see in Him and His first 12+72 friends. I experience it since 25 years and so will you.

I can't come to terms with the lustful descriptions of heaven in the Quran, over and over

Masha Allah. May Allah SWT bless sheikh hamza Yusuf.
