Mastrubation Is a Sin. by Nobody: 7:49am On Jul 14, 2015
The Bible never explicitly mentions
masturbation or states whether or not
masturbation is a sin. The Scripture most
frequently pointed to in regards to
masturbation is the story of Onan
inGenesis 38:9-10. Some interpret this passage as saying that “spilling your
seed” on the ground is a sin. However,
that is not precisely what the passage is
saying. God condemned Onan not for
“spilling his seed” but because Onan
refused to fulfill his duty to provide an heir for his brother. The passage is not
about masturbation, but rather about
fulfilling a family duty. A second passage
sometimes used as evidence for
masturbation’s being a sin isMatthew
5:27-30. Jesus speaks against having lustful thoughts and then says, “If your
right hand causes you to sin, cut it off
and throw it away.” While there are
parallels between this passage and
masturbation, it is unlikely that
masturbation was what Jesus was alluding to.
While the Bible nowhere explicitly states
that masturbation is a sin, there is no
question as to whether the actions that
lead to masturbation are sinful.
Masturbation is nearly always the result of lustful thoughts, sexual stimulation,
and/or pornographic images. It is these
problems that need to be dealt with. 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.
There are some biblical principles that
can be applied to the issue of masturbation.Ephesians 5:3declares,
“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 a
person is not fully convinced that an
activity is pleasing to God, then it is a sin: “Everything that does not come from faith
is sin” (Romans 14:23). Further, we need
to remember that our bodies have been
redeemed and belong to God. “Do you
not know that your body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not
your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your body” (1
Corinthians 6:19-20). This great truth
should have a real bearing on what we
do with our bodies. In light of these principles, the conclusion that
masturbation is a sin is biblical. Clearly,
masturbation is not glorifying to God; it
does not avoid the appearance of
immorality, nor does it pass the test of
God’s having ownership over our bodies

But masturbation is an effective way of ridding your body of demon-possessed sperm, because your evil sexual desires go away until the sperm builds up again. cheesy
