Is Masturbation A Sin? by njuwo(m): 5:47am On May 10, 2015 |
ANSWER: Just because humans have been engaged in a certain practice from antiquity does not make it right. After all, most people lie and we may be certain that lying has been going on for a very long time too, but does that make it right? Does not the Bible make it plain that all humans are sinners in God’s eyes and condemned to death because of that? That being the case, surely the mere popularity of an activity is no indicator that it meets with God’s approval. As the Creator of humanity God has always laid claim upon how we use our reproductive powers. Jesus made it clear that in the beginning God intended for marriage to be an eternal bond and to be the sole outlet for sexual activity. The very fact that God used circumcision as a sign of his covenant, going back to Abraham, long before the nation of Israel was even formed, is proof that God claims ownership of a male’s most private place. When God organized the 12 tribes into a nation under Moses there were many aspects of the law that he gave them that dealt with sexuality. Besides the obvious “you must not commit adultery,” At Mathew 5:27-30 it says "everyone who keeps looking at a woman/man so as to have a passion for him/her has already committed adultery with him/her in his/her heart". This bible portion was used as evidence for masturbation’s being a sin. Jesus speaks against having lustful thoughts and then says, “If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away.” Masturbation is nearly always the result of lustful thoughts, sexual stimulation, and/or pornographic images When you watch pornography you get "tuned on" which will result in masturbating. As your masturbating, your committing adultery with the woman on the screen thereby going against that bible verse. Another portion of the bible that proved masturbation a sin is Colossians 3:5-7: it says “Deaden, therefore, your body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of those things the wrath of God is coming. In those very things you, too, once walked when you used to live in them.” The apostle here recognized that fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, etc., were common practices, even pointing out that Christians used to LIVE IN THEM. But, if we are to follow the apostle’s exhortation would not that include the practice of masturbation? Do we really need to have it spelled out for us? Is it not obvious that our sexual organs, both male and female, are included as our “body members”? Masturbation does not deaden our body members, does it? No, just the opposite. MASTURBATION EXCITES ONE. Therefore, can we honestly say that Paul did not have in mind the age- old practice of masturbation when he counseled Christians to deaden our bodies to uncleanness and sexual appetite? There are some biblical principles that can be applied to the issue of masturbation. In Ephesians 5:3 it says, “Among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity.” It is hard to see how masturbating can pass that particular test. The Bible teaches us, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). If you cannot give God glory for something, you should not do it. If the sins of lust, immoral thoughts, and pornography are forsaken and overcome, masturbation will become a non-issue. Many people struggle with guilty feelings concerning masturbation, when in reality, the things that led to the act are far more worthy of repentance. I believe iv explained this issue in a way people will understand scientifically and biblically Thanks |

Without it i would b a crazy crabby mess. I dont think its a sin. If regular sex aint then why is solo sex a sin...? I dont get it... Nonsense. To me i think sex is a great stress relief and its a great relationship building tool and a confidence and self esteem builder... It enhances relationships and it keeps the flame of love alive... I love solo sex and regular and hell...love in General. |

I believe it is a sin. It is close to impossible mastu*baring without lustful thought... Besides, indulging in the act is harmful and also it disturbs the mind. |

Re: Is Masturbation A Sin? by njuwo(m): 12:33pm On May 10, 2015 |
yemmit90:It is a sin. Among the ten commandments given to Moses by God in the bible, He said, we should not commit fornication. Fornication is having sex with someone you are not married to. He also said we should not commit adultery. Adultery is, you having your own wife and having sex with another person who is not your wife. We are only to have sex with the person we are married to. God that said this, said it for a reason. |

Spiritually masturbation brings darkness, it is vanity, it is a wasting spirit, it can waste your time and potentials. It is a sin we have to consciously Fite till we get it out completely. Anything can tempt us into masturbation like girls on mini and tight skirt, Sex scenes in movies, pervert and clubbish music videos, naked pics, over browsing, till we see unclothedness, pornographic videos etc... We have to resist it with all we've got and make up our mind to stop, because God is not happy with masturbators and masturbation, because it's a sin. 2 Likes |
