Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. –Romans 7:13 (KJV)

When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman’s stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped. –Numbers 25:7-8 (NIV)

Josh.org, “The Porn Epidemic.” 

• 79 percent of men and 76 percent of women, ages 18-30, view pornography at least once a month.
• 64 percent of young people, ages 13-24, actively seek out pornography.
• 57 percent of pastors admit they struggle with porn.
• 60-72 percent of men and 24-30 percent of women in the Church are sex addicts.

NIH, “Self-Reported Addiction to Pornography.” This is an example of the “other view” which was only about 12% of American adults are addicted to pornography. This might be more of a problem of definition in the questionnaire; rather than to say that those that lean in the 70% direction of this stat are just simply exaggerating the evidence to make a point.

Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. –Revelation 3:16 (KJV)

I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you. –2 Timothy 1:6 (NIV)

Benjamin Wadsworth, Fervent Zeal Against Flagrant Wickedness (1718).

With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness. These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. –2 Peter 2:14-17 (NIV)

When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders. The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba. But his sons did not follow his ways. –1 Samuel 8:1-3 (NIV)

The Lord seeth not as man seeth. For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.   –1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV)

Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.  –Matthew 17:3 (NIV)

THE EXISTENCE OF “HOLY SPIRIT ANGER”
PROVEN FROM THE SCRIPTURES

I AM FULL OF THE FURY OF THE LORD; I am weary with holding in.  –Jeremiah 6:11 (KJV)

His word was IN MINE HEART AS A BURNING FIRE shut up in my bones. –Jeremiah 20:9 (KJV)

He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. –Matthew 3:11 (KJV)

Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. Then Saul, who was also called Paul, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, looked straight at Elymas and said, “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord! Now the hand of the Lord is against you! You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun!” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. –Acts 13:8-11 (NIV)

Behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what INDIGNATION, yea, what fear, yea, what VEHEMENT DESIRE, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.  –2 Corinthians 7:11 (KJV)

The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. –John 2:17 (KJV)

When he had looked round about on them with ANGER, being GRIEVED FOR THE HARDNESS OF THEIR HEARTS, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. –Mark 3:5 (KJV)

Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth…As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.   –Revelation 3:16, 19 (KJV)

They were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS.  –Acts 4:31 (KJV)

BE YE ANGRY, AND SIN NOT. –Ephesians 4:26 (KJV)

They came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels. –Luke 24:23 (KJV)

A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. –Acts 10:2-3 (KJV)
