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

OK, forget about the wrong word he used there - "lust". How is masturbating with the thoughts of ur husband or wife sin whereas having sex with that ur husband or wife isn't?

CONCLUSION
Mastubation have a whole lot of advantages and disadvantages,when God tells you to avoid some certain things,not because those things are sins but because they may have the abilities to destroy you.For example addiction to watching tv is not a SIN AGAINST GOD,but such addiction can engender adverse circumstances that will affect your accademic,physical.and spiritual life,TV addictions brings with it a host of potential problems such as slipping grades,poor reading habits,diminished family life,laziness,exposure to unwholesome influences,disobedient to parent.lack of concentration,distractions etc,so you see! So if you want to conquer this habit,the same admonition and concel given to mastubator will be given to you,not because it is a sin,but because it is wrongly placed,watching of football,eating excess sugar,bathing once a day,mastubating,addiction to tv,reading.sucking of ice block,bleaching of the skin.eating of clay or sand,laquaciousness.gluttony.drukenness,smoking,eating of blood(blood transfusion),drawing of tatoos,gambling,drugs abuse.etc,are habits which are wrongly placed,these habits may or may not be sin against God,but when God tell us to avoid them is because he(God)know the adverse effects they can endenger,in such state follow after instructions and avoid them. when the warnings and instructions are followed IT IS NOT A SIN,but when you act contrary to warning and instructions it become a sin,not against God but against instruction, unfilthy mastubation is not a sin while filthy mastubation is a sin.i.e in essence of this, mastubation is not a sin,but when it is wrongly placed it becomes a sin.By this you will understand the words and teachings of Rev.Chris Oyakhilome concerning this topic,because people lacked the perspicacity of this subject,but those who have the epignosis(deep and absolute knowledge) of this matter will understand what Rev.chris taught about mastubations,he was not enjoining people into any filty act of mastubation rather he was allerviating and mitigating the guilty conscience of those who find themselves in such dilemma at the same time he was pontificating his opinion and conviction about mastubation,Just like what Jesus said about ceremonial washing of hand,when he said 'not what enter into a man that defile a man but what proceed from the heart that corrupt a man'every one disagree with him including his followers.but that did not change its actuality and truism,some of his follower even left him,read your bible.Rev.chris oyakhilomen said ''...it just like any other habit like watching football...''addiction to any habit may have adverse effect,the act itself may not be sin against God,but the addiction is the problem,so when dealing with an habit,firstly,know if the act is a sin against God,secondly,know what lead to having that habit,thirdly,do your best to conquer that habit,many taught that chewing of gum is a sin against God,until someone taught otherwise,though chewing bubble gum have side effect and adverse,but it is not a sin against God,someone can be addicted to chewing bubble gum,the same word Rev.chris said about mastubation will be said concerning addiction to chewing of gum,but he said''...if you dont like an habit or if you are hurt by any habit you can replace it with a good one...''pastor chris theory on mastubation is not what quibbling and prattling about,the fact he said''...if you are hurt by any habit...''means some habits are hurtful which may include mastubation,he also said ''...replace it with a good one...''meaning some hurtful habits are bad which can be replace with a good one,which may be self control,in order word,christain should avoid any hurtful habit like mastubation,alcoholism,smoking,gluttony,chewing bubble gum,gambling,etc,these habits are hurtful,the bible says''dont look at a wine when it is red''why?because it is hurtful'when God tell us to avoid things that hurts,not only things that hurt him but things that hurts us as well because he loves us,that is why pastor chris said''...if you are hurt by any habit replace it with another especially a good one''some things may not hurt God but may hurt us,thats is why pastor chris said''...mastubation is not a sin against God.because it does not hurt God...'',but if it hurt you,you can replace it with a good habit like meditation on God's word,given yourself to prayer and fasting,exercising self control,or giving yourself to other excellent things,mastubation when rightly placed does not hurt God which is equal to the word''...it is not a sin against God...''but it hurt God(i.e it's a sin)when it is wrongly placed.In essence abstain from any thing that hurt either God,your neighbour,or you.so you see!MEN WITH LITTLE UNDERSTANDING SEES LITTLE STONE AS MIGHTY ROCK,If any one is contentious about this.then he need to re-appraise his oppinion toward this topic or better still maintain your conviction without excoriating others oppinion.God who know best,sees best will judge best,therefore judge nothing before the time.your convictions doesnot make you God,so,stop acting like God,but if you sift out the nuggets of wisdom and knowledge in pastor chris theory on mastubations,you will gain a treasure worth more than Gold,therefore seek to get the Gold.

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
yea I know what SENSUALITY means.... But what made you think a monopolized pleasure that doesn't hurt another party is a sin as the verses above clearly did not states that, other important point above goes below

idolatry which cannot involve just you alone, someone else has to be involve,
socery: also cannot involve you alone.
enmity: means being an enemy I think, so you have to be enemy of someone else, thus not involving you alone
strife: means conflict of violence, so it's not a monopolized act, thus involving someone else.
jealousy and envy: we both know what that means
fits of anger: you have to be angry with someone else
rivalries: you have to be a rival to someone else, you can't rival yourself
dissensions: means expression (spoken) or strong disagreement, so it has to involve another party
divisions: we both know what means
drunkenness: one ends up hurting others by use of abuse words or by a physical combat act.

So my question is... How are your highlighted points monopolized that made you think it's a sin sice self-service will not hurt another person?

And about the division, it's just my reason behind disliking religions....I know it off topic tho.

If only you knew what happened whenever someone masturbates, you wouldn't ask this question.

If you're an atheist, then stick with the "God is not real" rhetoric.

Sin is a very complex topic. To understand if it is sin or not, you have delve into the very source of its nature.

Only hypocrite and ignorant people that thinks mastubation is a sin,mastubation just like sex is not a sin at all,but when mastubation is abused it becomes a sin,until it is abuse it is not a sin,i am a medical personnel,i know of a man that has weak erection.before he would have sex with his wife,he has to mastubate to gain erection before copulating,how is that a sin Mr.ignoramus?even many married men including pastors does that,even after erupting they still mastubates to empty their ureathra by spilling their sperm away,mr hypocrite,any time u want to spill ur sperm away,watch carefully that action is itself mastubation.even a doctor told a young unmarried guy to bring his sperm as specimen to diagnose.how is that possible? Through mastubation,and how is that a sin?,even the married woman can help stroke her clitoris to gain more pleasure during sexual intercouse with her husband.how is that a sin?

Is this how u people think? U say something, and someone asks u a simple question that demands ur clarification on what u said and u ar here saying this? How on earth did being an atheist enter this matter now? What concerns my question about someone sinning against God with atheism? I thought atheism means unbelief in God? So, what link does the idea that masturbation while married is sin against God have to do with atheism?
It's a simple question, how exactly is masturbating with the thoughts of ur wife or husband sin as u claim whereas having sex with ur wife or husband isn't?
If u don't have points to answer my question, u can easily say that u don't have points to back up ur claim rather than making it sound like both of us ar engaging in a battle.

davtosh:
Yes and No

A masturbator or a masturbatee grin don't just mastubate, he or she visualises a person he or she is doing it with. And Jesus said if you look at a woman that is not yours lustfully you have already committed adultery. Masturbation is lustful action towards an imaginary partner.
So it is a sin.

It is not a sin for a married man or woman who is away from his or her partner for some reasons. Having the urge to have sex. If he or she masturbates thinking about his or her hubby.
Imagining having sex with her or his partner while masturbating is not a sin.

It is as good as having real sex with the partner.


what of if your mind drift away to your maid...
what do you call that?..

then what of if you just masturbate without thinking about anybody ?.

This is nonsense. A person's feeling of guilt cannot be used to determine whether an action is right or wrong.
whatever made a man guilty after it's action, such as stealing, killing, committing adultery, gossiping and all other little sins that makes one irritated to yourself, means something is not right between you and your creator.

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

You have to provide proof because as you well know, one of the most popular pastors in the country, perhaps the world clearly disagrees with you. The OP is in a quandary so you have to provide something tangible instead of accusing him of looking for justification.

Please talk smart! What has the popularity of a pastor got to do with a TRUTH which he chose to deny for reasons best known to him? Read up 1st Corinthians chapter 6. It answers this question if only you read with an open mind and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. Masturbation is a sin against your body which the bible calls the temple of the Holy Spirit. God bless you.
