OP you have your conscience (a piece of God in you), you have your bible (basis instruction before leaving earth) , you have God ( your creator)
Convince yourself of how you want to live your life with God in it

Don't listen to anybody, your pastor inclusive
from home to school to work to church/mosque
HYPOCRITES EVERYWHERE!

What about those that dont feel guilty after such actions?? undecided
well, to my understanding, I think some have sold their conscience to the devil. No matter how heavy the crime is, they still feel good about it.

...but, there's no humans that doesn't know the good from the evil.

Could you do this bad habit in front of your family and brothers? Could you do it in front of your friends and neighbours? We are certain that your answer will be: No, I could not do that, no matter what levels my desire reached. Is that not the case? Well, do you know that you are doing it before the Lord of the heavens and the earth?! Do you know that the Creator of the universe can see you when you are doing it? Do you know that when you do it the noble angels can see you? How can you regard Allaah as the least of those who can see you?
Who is most deserving that you should feel shy before them – those from whom you conceal your action so that they will not say bad things about you, or the One Who warns you of punishment for your bad action?

Masturbation denies every aspect of that promise of sex — of that promise of your vows! Masturbation is:
*.Focused on yourself
*.A withholding from your spouse
*.A statement that sex is only about pleasure —your own pleasure
*.Inherently sterile
*.Often accompanied by “adultery in your heart” through pornography and fantasy
Masturbation is radically self-centered, and radically un-Christian. It’s wrong because it turns us and our sexuality away from God and toward ourselves by:
*.Training our sexuality in the habit of self-indulgence, not self-giving
*.Divorcing the pleasure of orgasm from union with the “other”, your spouse
*.Turning away from the risks of loving another
*.Refusing fertility & the full responsibility of sex

Nothing like twisting, I only gave example.
And if you think masturbation is good, that's your business. I masturbated for over 20years. I know what I am saying. If you see anybody that uses blade to cut his body for blood to be gushing out, that's what men masturbators do to their sperm.
what I'm saying is the example you sited involves killing another human being which everyone knows it's bad...

We're talking about self-service that doesn't hurt any second or third party.

Anyone that feels side effects from masturbation has probably done it excessively (everything is suppose to be moderate.

I'm not saying masturbation is good or bad. But my point is who am I to say what someone does in his closet without hurting anybody is bad

You knew what I had in mind. Excessive consumption of food. And you are missing the point.

Consumption of food is a good thing.

You need to justify masturbation first as a good act before talking about it being excessive or not
ofcoz justification of self-service is what we've been on.

So the question is: is an act that is done privately(moderately) without hurting any other party bad?

You're mistaken. Your premise is weak and proves nothing. Sex is not a sin, with your spouse I mean. But could you have sex in front of your Daddy, Mummy and family members just because it is not a sin? No, you wouldn't.

It takes an uninformed conscience to consider masturbation a sin.

Since when did having fantasies in your head become adultery. My dear if you are finally gonna go with this guys advice, I know you will continue wanking, make sure you have a bible infront of you so when your about to come you come on it therefore turning your sexuality towards God.

I have a lot of male friends, sexually active that self-service. I asked them why. They said having sex doesn't turn you from masturbating. It's just somthing they do for themselves. These are people who aren't married. So dey re doubling sinning right, I laugh in greek.

Many people who have sex including the person I'm quoting who probably self-services have sex not because they want kids but because of the pleasure. Why do married people have sex and do birthcontrol, why don't they have sex everytime to make kids.
Women who mensturate, why don't we get pregnant everytime, aren't we turning away from fertility by menstruating, or why did your God create us that way. He's murdering a half human.

Pls don't follow faith blindly. Coming online for answers give you a mixed answer. But listen to me, I know you feel guilty, it would wear off with time. Masturbation is accepted world wide. It is not a sin.

masturbation is a sin because you're indirectly having premarital sex.......moreover is a bad habit because someone needs to flee from so we won't be addicted, once you're addicted to go out will be a big predicament ..........this is very rampant nowadays among men and women ,very common among youths and adults, self servicing oneself is bad because many that engaged in it feels bad after doing it,I'm a victim of masturbation before, I masturbated for 4 good years,it's causes watery sperm,itches on the penis,fast ejaculate when having normal sex............let's stop masturbation ,it's dangerous to the health and it's ungodly acts, shameful acts,if u have sex with Janet ,u can body say it to your friends but if you masturbated can u bodly say it outside, that means is not good.

Omudia11:
Pastor Chris's opinions are irrelevant and inconsequential to the christian tenets. Jesus Christ is our "only" standard in christianity. Anyone who preaches anything contrary to what Christ commanded is on their own.

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 5: 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Is that enough proof? Can anyone masturbate without lusting in their heart? No. There are many references on Lust in the bible where it was outrightly condemned. Lust is a sin. Masturbation is the aftermath of lust so masturbation is a sin.



if christ is the only standard for christians why then is tithe so widely preached and accepted when Jesus didnt teach it and his only reference to tithe was to chastise the pharises wit it calling it a religious practice?

if tithe is that important why didnt Jesus and the apostles after him teach it?
Re: Is Masturbation A Sin?. by Nobody: 10:47am On Dec 24, 2016
Who is he married to, his hand or d.ick??you masturbated for 4 years because noone wanted you.

See how you casted yourself. How do u know it causes premature ejaculation when having sex because you've upgraded to having sex. You've masturbateed and enjoyed it. Noone told you to stop, you did at your own will. Leave him be.

According to Genesis 38:9-10 message version " 9 But Onan did not want Tamar to have his child. He knew that a child like that would not belong to him. So when he had sex with his brother’s wife Tamar, he made his *semen go on to the ground. So Tamar could not become *pregnant. He would not give Tamar a child for his dead brother. note

10 What Onan did was wrong. So God made him die also.
You wasting God's resources that was actually met for productivity is a great sin. I was once in this terrible situation that once that urge comes, no matter where I am I will definitely find a way of doing it, but I cried to God for help nd He did.

Take it or leave it, it's a sin!
I Corintians 6:18 says "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body."
