it's a sin, but no matter how much I try to explain you may not understand or agree until you have an encounter with the holy spirit... Pray to God that you wish to know Him more. Ask God for the holy spirit, then you will have understanding as He ministers to you.

I pray that God will deliver u the way he deliver me. It is a SIN.

LaDolceVita:
Well the bible does caution against spilling seed so from there a lot of people have extrapolated that masturbation is also a sin.

Man, i feel sad for you people. Can't even jerk off without thinking of God looking over your shoulder.

MASTURBATION IS WICKEDNESS AND A GREAT SIN

wickedness? things I see on nairaland

deathcomestoall:
Pls do not mind the Christians here sayin masturbation is a sin. Many of them if not all are sexually active and masturbate. I hope you're familiar with the holier than thou saint kind of attitude most people try to keep here on nairaland. Pls it's just a facade.

I believe you are young that's why you feel guilty. Masturbation is not a sin. If you feel it's a sin, pls just upgrade and start having sex. Just don't be a chronic masturbator or sex addict, the type that cnt control themselves in public.

Getting Hot and satisfying yourself is part of life. Having sex is part of life. Which ever appeals to you. You would get over the guilt with time. Adios

Read Romans 1, self righteousness which is deflecting sins on others, slandering, shaming and outright hypocrisy has alway been a tactic of Roman Catholism, the mother church of all Christianity. All Christians are taught to act this hypocritical way. Ase.

Its a SIN. The Bible called it a Sin of the flesh

Galatians 5:16-18New International Version (NIV)

16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.



Gal 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Now, what is

Sensuality: The enjoyment, expression, or pursuit of physical, especially sexual, pleasure

But being a gay isnt? Marrying gays is isnt? Desire to mate is normal its the perversions which are the sins. gay Christians run the church and are preaching purity.

KingSango:

Yes, the desire is normal...but giving in to such desire is a SIN.

Marrying a gay is against the definition of marriage according to the Bible

Masturbation is not a sin friend
This is what Christianity does
Makes you feel guilty for the silliest of things
Though I feel there's an age where you should outgrow such things anyway

Continue deceiving yourself, masturbation is not a sin yet you want him to outgrow it. Masturbation is a deadly sin, it can lead to weak erection, infertility etc in men.

why masturbate? When theres cats everywhere.

Is a sin,flee from porn movies and lust and you will be able to control it

You must love it?

ChemicalReaction:
Then what can??

Rozaystunna:
wickedness? things I see on nairaland

A man who out of masturbation became impotent, or surfer weak erection, is not only wicked to himself but also to his wife and generation.

If a woman out of series of abortion damaged her womb, cover it up and get married to you. Now she's unable to bear children for you. How will you describe such woman?.

Masturbation is a sin but it is better to masturbate than to have sex with a lady and get HIV...Please rather than have unprotected sex kindly masturbate. Although there is a time you must outgrow it sha

Yes

DoctorAlien:


A deist does not believe in GOD: certainly not the true GOD, Jehovah.

Beside Him, is there any other GOD?

I believe in God(The creator) but I dislike religion.

DoctorAlien:
Masturbation is a sin.

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof." Rom. 13:14

First, you cannot masturbate without entertaining sexually immoral thoughts in your head. Christ encourages us to keep our thoughts pure and holy. Anything which is lustful and perverted is of the devil, and therefore is sinful. Also, masturbation goes together with pornography, no one can deny.

The fact that our atheist friends see nothing wrong with masturbation goes to show the reason why they chose to become atheists: they simply cannot entertain the idea of a righteous GOD who reprimands them for their sinful habits, which include sexual immorality.

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psa. 14:1

The bible says "Ye shall never call your fellow a fool". Yet the same bible described a man who in his personal conviction believes there's no God a fool.


Well, religion is for the low wits, low intelligence.

There are no "buts". Lust is a sin. Masturbation is a sin.

Ranchhoddas:
What if the object of your lust is your wife or husband? Would it still be a sin?

Morganie:


That feeling of guilt - after the act - is your spirit, the breath of God in you telling you you have done something wrong.

When you have a drink of water, or walk in the street I'm sure you don't feel any guilt simply for drinking water or walking, and you don't have to hide to drink water, or walk either.

Anything you can't do in the public view, and afterwards feel guilty about is bad. And for masturbation, it is sin. Defend it however you want. Masturbating is an inordinate desire. It is sin.

lol
But my question is we all gladly come online to gossip about people's life and don't feel guilty about it or have you forgotten gossiping is a sin?

Hmmmmm. . .

you highlighted the above which could simply mean desiring of someone's else flesh like lusting after another person. And the words clearly did not state mono-pleasure as ome will have to desire another person's flesh(pre-marital affairs).....

I'm more concern about the divisions you didn't highlight tho.

what about those that masturbated and were never impotent nor suffer weak erection + what of the men that don't masturbate but still suffer weak erection/impotent.

And how does abortion goes with the topic

You people just like twisting things to the way it suits you.

To me it a sin only if can masturbate without thinking dirty, cos the bible says " if you look at a woman and lust after her you've committed adultery in your heart already" therefore you can't masturbate without thinking dirty.

God bless you Allen.

Check the definition of SENSUALITY. It does not necessarily has to do with lust.

There are times the urge just come naturally even without thinking about naked woman or lusting after someone.

About Division not being highlighted, It has no link with the topic at hand

Hhee,,, shut your dirty mouth and say what you know. Masturbation is a very dangerous sin, with alot Scriptural backups.. Genesis 34, 2 Corinthians 3:16-17 etc..

Yup. Masturbation is a grave sin. Let no one tell you otherwise. Do all in your power to stop that dirty habit. There's no gain in masturbation. Look to God to help you.

Lol, even before I came to the knowledge of Christ.
Even before I actually went to any church to become Christian.
I was deep into masturbation and pornography.
I did things which I was not proud of.
I had no law against me then,
but my conscience told me all.
Ya, it felt good, but the after effects was horrible on me.
It was while seeking relief from all these things,
That brought me into the church.
And the moment Jesus touched my life,
All those ills seized to be, Permanently.
Yes I am totally free....And you too can.

ChemicalReaction:
Do you feel bad when or after you've done it??

Do you know they are people who kill for fun and don't feel any zilch of guilt? Like someone said, Feeling of guilt doesn't make a sin...Similarly not feeling of guilt doesn't make something right also. Not that i believe in the concept of Sin anyway.

jumpandpas:


Yes

Not to support or oppose the subject matter, but can u explain how masturbating with the thoughts of one's wife or husband is a sin whereas having sex with him or her isn't a sin?
