It is not just enough to belive that one is sinless because of grace. Faith without work is dead |

This is for those asking if masturbation is a sin....To answer this question, let's begin with a summary of what God tells us in the Bible about the broader subject of sex and marriage. Sex is a part of God's creation. And we are told that everything God created in the beginning was "very good" (Genesis 1:31). God also instituted marriage when he gave Eve to Adam to be his spouse (Genesis 1:22-24). In addition God ordained that sexual activity is to be limited to persons of the opposite sex, and that sexual intercourse is to take place only within a marriage. He forbids adultery, that is, sex outside of marriage (Exodus 20:14). Unmarried persons who engage in sexual activity are guilty of the sin of fornication (Galatians 5:19; Colossians 3:5; Jude 1:7 and numerous other passages. The word fornication is used in the King James version for the sin of adultery outside of marriage. God created sex to insure the propagation of the human race (Genesis 1:28), and to provide a special and unique bonding relationship between husband and wife. (Genesis 2:24). Sexual activity within marriage provides fulfillment and satisfaction, not primarily for one's own self, but for one's spouse. It is important to understand that sexual activity is God-pleasing when it is done selflessly rather than selfishly. In that way it mirrors Christ's relationship to his church (Ephesians 5:22-33). So, the question of masturbation, as with all other questions about sexual activity, has to be considered within this broader, Scriptural context. We have to begin by asking: What was God's intent when he created sex? The Scriptures do not contain any specific or direct reference to masturbation. But it is clear that masturbation is an activity that violates God's intent. Masturbation is a form of sexual self-gratification. But sex is intended by God to be a means of mutual gratification between a husband and wife, not a means of gratifying one's self. Simply put, masturbation is an act of selfishness rather than selflessness. It is a sin that calls for repentance followed by the fruits of faith, coupled with a prayer asking God for help to see this sin in the light of God's intent, and for strength of faith to overcome the sin. So while the Bible does not mention masturbation specifically, it has much to say about appropriate and inappropriate use of God's good gift of sex. And the Bible leaves no doubt about the fact that masturbation does not give glory to God. 8 Likes |

tempest69:We should always ask God to forgive us our sins. Conciously and unconciously, we sin against God every day. Bible made us to know that, all have have sinned and come short of d glory of God. Christ thought us to pray our Lord's prayer and in our Lord's prayer, He commands us to ask God to forgive our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us. 1 Like |

Genesis 38:8-10 ESV Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother’s wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord , and he put him to death also.[color=#990000][/color] On masturbation |

Self-righteousness is the greatest of all! Those who do not see the need to go to GOD daily for forgiveness of sins through JESUS Christ; and those who see themselves as more righteous than others. |

ksam:And what does vs 3, 4, 5 till end say?? Once you are Born Again you are dead to sin, you shouldn't be sin concious anymore, you might fall atimes and comit one sin or the other, you shouldn't let guilt push you away from God, You are dead to sin, it's no longer your Righteousness, it's the righteousness of Christ, Abraham's righteousness was not in his works but rather in His belief, the word repent is not about change of actions and deeds but a change of mind...what u believe. that is why the Bible said in Rom 12:2 be ye transformed through the renewing of your mind. As a Christian, spend less time on checking what the law says you should do or not do, cause trust me there are more than ten commandments, they are in fact 613 laws, n you know if u break one you have broken all, that's why we have Grace. Don't get me wrong, grace is not a Licence to continue in sin, it is the exact opposite, it is the divine ability to live a sinless life relying on the finished work on the cross, the sins you were held accountable for was not as a result of what you did or didn't do, but as a result of Adam's disobedience, and our Justification is not also in our works but in the obedience of Christ on the cross Rom 5:19....ps take time to check this few passages I quoted before you reply, n I will be glad to receive your reply... 3 Likes |
