The Suicide of the Soul
By: Dr. David D. Edgington PhD
The title of this book may seem contradictory – porn “murders” yet your soul commits “suicide.” So, which is it – murder or suicide? Actually it is both. There is no contradiction here – the enemy of our souls uses pornography to “murder” us, yet it is we ourselves who hang ourselves with it.Pornography is a murderer, but it doesn’t just murder in isolation.
It murders romance. It murders a relationship with your spouse. It murders your ability to parent your children with integrity. It murders holiness. It murders a relationship with God. It murders contentment. It murders peace. It murders your own soul. But pornography is also suicide to the soul. It is self-destructive.
