1 Thessalonians 5:23

The ONLY WAY to overcome masturbation and other sins is spiritual maturity.

You have to keep growing spiritually by feeding on God's Word, fasting and praying in tongues.

We all consists of spirit, soul and body. The body is sinful and craves sin. The spirit is holy and is in the semblance of God. The soul is the emotional part of man.

The more you feed the spirit with God's Word, the weaker the sinful body becomes with all its sinful cravings.
Gbam, In-addition, the poster should die to the flesh via all you said in your post, a dead person cannot respond to anything including masturbation, die to the flesh / sin and be alive to God via his word / Holy Spirit... Hallelujah

Masturbation is simply a product of lust;
It is a sin! Period. I was in that captivity for years until I entered graceland.
U cannot masturbate without porn: and porn addicts are most likely to victims.
Only the word of God really sets free.

That word was not mentioned anywhere in the bible. Just like smoking... but impurity and uncleanliness were both mentioned. If you are convinced that act is unclean, then that’s your answer

You don’t need to ask what the Bible say about mastubation, once you are a spirit filled Christian you should know it is a sin. A mango tree cannot bear apple.

Lordave:
People lie a lot just to see their fallacies on the homepage of Nairaland.

A friend of yours has been masturbating since he was 11 years old?

Why isn’t it you?
Why didn’t you help him create a Nairaland account and post this topic himself?

Is it because anything masturbation is pushed to the homepage so you guys now have a field day lying without shame just to have a useless topic on homepage?

Do you know that there are more than 50 topics advising against masturbation on Nairaland and your friend can simply get his answers from any of them?

Nairaland has become nauseating already.

U are very right. This topic has been discussed a million times.

It is always difficult to stop the masturbation habit wilfully once you picked it up. It is addictive because of its affinity to the pleasure centre of the brain. The triggers for it are everywhere - porn, women's endowed parts.

It is called the sin of Onan (spilling of one's seeds for no purpose) by Biblical Scholars, for which God killed him - Gen. 38:9-10.

Large number of youths (as well as elders) are affected by it, no matter how hard they try to hide it.

It is ONLY by God's help that one can overcome it. Prayers and fasting, and salvation will surely help in defeating the habit. But one must be determined. Otherwise you can only continue to manage it until old age.

But the habit should be broken because it is spiritually destructive (it causes backwardness and failure, spiritual detachment, emotional depletion, depressive guilt, inferiority complex) and physically debilitating (it causes arthritis, weak hands and heart papiltation).

Good Evening Nairalanders

I have a young friend of mine who has been masturbating since he was eleven years old and he is going to be twenty this year. His parents are divorced and he does not live with any of them.

We where talking today and he confided in me that he's been masturbating since he was eleven and that he has been struggling to stop out of guilt but he eventually stopped trying ever since he saw that it was almost impossible so he continued.

But I tried to encourage him to stop because I have been there. I started when I was in the university and struggled till 2018 when I eventually got more control. I realized that while I was still a chronic masturbator that I had almost no drive to succeed in anything which affected me a lot because I kept to my self, had no friends, felt guilty, weak and empty but my friend argued that he won't even bother trying because it was just impossible and doctors say it's healthy to masturbate, I argued that those doctors were lying and that it is not Scripturally okay but he also argued that were in the bible is it written? and I couldn't argue more cause I also relapse at times.

So please, that is why I have come here to ask for the advice on how to encourage him to keep on fighting against addiction and what bible verses can I quote for him?

The bible is specifically silent about it but overzealous Christians have created their own man made ideology about it.

One thing the Bible condemns is addiction of any kind is a sin.

This is what your friend needs to break the habit.

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
He Also needs to flee every appearance of evil or triggers which requires a conscious effort on his part.

For the Bible says this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, thou shall meditate upon it day and night" so when he does this, the addiction will gradually drop. But he first needs to yield himself to the Holy spirit and the word for healing to take place.

Shalom.

Hi if truely you are serious to know, God talks about Gay, Lesbianism, Masturbation etc in the book of Romans chapter 1: 24 -27,
but for a proper understanding of the word, take it from, verses 20 - 32 the end of the chapter. As you read, I asked the Holy Spirit to
grant you understanding in Jesus Name Amen. Also read 1 corth 6:12 and Gen 38: 9- 10, God bless you richly.

I always wonder how somebody having sex before marriage will boldly come out and be shouting that mastubation is a sin. No be me holy pass so i will talk this from the point of logic. Mastubating to relieve urself once in a while is a very good thing. However, mastubation addiction is as deadly as all other addictions including sex, beer or smoking addiction. I will advice you to do it moderately. Even civilized doctors dat havent turned to pastor will tell you the importance of self service.

So true. I believe Masturbation once a week is still okay. These people that say stop masturbation never give 'logical' solution for it. They say give your life to Christ, will that automatically make you not feel sexual urge again? No. A man would always feel strong urge for sex once in a while, that is how we are wired, so we can procreate. Even if you lock a male child up all his life in a room, with no woman, no TV, no internet, no porn, when he reaches puberty, he will start feeling the urge for sex. This is a fact. So, what do you do? Either you have sex with a woman, or you masturbate. If you don't do either voluntarily, you might involuntarily do nastier stuff like priests sleeping with alter boys, grown men sleeping with little kids, etc. That sexual urge is too strong to contain...you must do something about it, or it will act in a destructive manner. Unless you are what Yoruba people call 'Okobo.' Why do you think even pastors fall for this sin? Let's be realistic and logical, and not just basing our arguments on theories.

If god doesn't want us to masturbate or fornicate then why do experience orgasms?
I mean if god didn't give us orgasms then there would be no rape, no masturbation, homosexualism, no beastiality.
Sex would be only for procreation and world population would be low instead of being ridiculously high.

But what do I know grin
god is supposedly the wise one.
Funny thing is I just finished masturbating when I saw this thread, I just laughed cheesy

You'll die a shameful death

Why do you have to say that to him? Even Jesus will be ashamed of you right now cause to Jesus, the death of an unbeliever is not pleasing to him so why pray Capslocked dies instead of him receiving salvation?

This is where we usually get it wrong as Christians. We are always too quick to anger, judge and in fact everything that we forget we have to sit back from everything and think for a second. That he made a mockery of Jesus Christ is the criterion he dies a shameful death. Jesus said you should hold your peace and I will fight your battle. This battle is not yours, hold your peace and let God deal with them according to his grace (Jesus Christ) and mercy. Don't ever pray that someone dies because he doesn't believe in your religion or makes mockery of our lord Jesus Christ instead pray that the good lord forgives such person.

Again the debate of whether God exists or not should be settled by now. Those who knows and believe he exists should use it to their own advantage and stop selling to others that God exists. And those who don't, should be left alone.

If you wanna preach Christ to people you ask them and if they don't want you just "OK thank you" and leave. Be matured. Stop responding to irrelevant threads on this forum talking about the existence of God. He doesn't want you to talk about his existence, He wants you to use his existence to your own advantage.

Yes I do believe God exists. And I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ!
