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
god is supposedly the wise one.
Funny thing is I just finished masturbating when I saw this thread, I just laughed

EXACTLY! In fact, there would be no urge for sex put in place by the creator if he never wanted us to have sex or masturbate. Sex is not a habbit like drinking or smoking that you learn over time, it is inbuilt...factory fitted.

Gbam! Let them keep claiming na dem holy pass

lol!

BlackShit:
So what are you doing now as a solution, fornicating?

And was that the 'cure' you suggested to him?


======

The Bible condemns uncleanness and impurities, which masturbation is, and other sexual sins also fall under.

Honestly, while I don't hold brief for fornication, it's absolutely honorable when you have sex with a woman that Worths it. But masturbation on the other hand takes every honor from you and toasts you empty.

I can tell you, no chronic masturbator can achieve any note worthy success in his life.

Masturbation drains your passion and with it your drive. Don't be fooled when people say, doctors advice you should beat it off. You are beating off your life's essence.

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?

Bros! The only solution to mastication is frequent pleasureable sex, before I got married I'm into masturbation but when I got married I leave it to the extent that I forget how to.

But there's this time my wife travelled, my brother the memory came back despite my fighting I couldn't hold it, I did it just to relieve myself.

There I know that the only solution to this satanic act is to get marry.

FACT ABOUT EASTER
Brent Landau, University of Texas in Austin writes

The reason for this variation is that Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.

I am a religious studies scholar specializing in early Christianity, and my research shows that this dating of Easter goes back to the complicated origins of this holiday and how it has evolved over the centuries.

Easter is quite similar to other major holidays like Christmas and Halloween, which have evolved over the last 200 years or so. In all of these holidays, Christian and non-Christian (pagan) elements have continued to blend together.
Easter as a rite of spring

Most major holidays have some connection to the changing of seasons. This is especially obvious in the case of Christmas. The New Testament gives no information about what time of year Jesus was born. Many scholars believe, however, that the main reason Jesus’ birth came to be celebrated on December 25 is because that was the date of the winter solstice according to the Roman calendar.

Since the days following the winter solstice gradually become longer and less dark, it was ideal symbolism for the birth of “the light of the world” as stated in the New Testament’s Gospel of John.

Similar was the case with Easter, which falls in close proximity to another key point in the solar year: the vernal equinox (around March 20), when there are equal periods of light and darkness. For those in northern latitudes, the coming of spring is often met with excitement, as it means an end to the cold days of winter.

Spring also means the coming back to life of plants and trees that have been dormant for winter, as well as the birth of new life in the animal world. Given the symbolism of new life and rebirth, it was only natural to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at this time of the year.

The naming of the celebration as “Easter” seems to go back to the name of a pre-Christian goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at beginning of spring. The only reference to this goddess comes from the writings of the Venerable Bede, a British monk who lived in the late seventh and early eighth century. As religious studies scholar Bruce Forbes summarizes:

“Bede wrote that the month in which English Christians were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus had been called Eosturmonath in Old English, referring to a goddess named Eostre. And even though Christians had begun affirming the Christian meaning of the celebration, they continued to use the name of the goddess to designate the season.”

Bede was so influential for later Christians that the name stuck, and hence Easter remains the name by which the English, Germans and Americans refer to the festival of Jesus’ resurrection.
The connection with Jewish Passover

It is important to point out that while the name “Easter” is used in the English-speaking world, many more cultures refer to it by terms best translated as “Passover” (for instance, “Pascha” in Greek) – a reference, indeed, to the Jewish festival of Passover.

In the Hebrew Bible, Passover is a festival that commemorates the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt, as narrated in the Book of Exodus. It was and continues to be the most important Jewish seasonal festival, celebrated on the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

At the time of Jesus, Passover had special significance, as the Jewish people were again under the dominance of foreign powers (namely, the Romans). Jewish pilgrims streamed into Jerusalem every year in the hope that God’s chosen people (as they believed themselves to be) would soon be liberated once more.

On one Passover, Jesus traveled to Jerusalem with his disciples to celebrate the festival. He entered Jerusalem in a triumphal procession and created a disturbance in the Jerusalem Temple. It seems that both of these actions attracted the attention of the Romans, and that as a result Jesus was executed around the year A.D. 30.

Some of Jesus’ followers, however, believed that they saw him alive after his death, experiences that gave birth to the Christian religion. As Jesus died during the Passover festival and his followers believed he was resurrected from the dead three days later, it was logical to commemorate these events in close proximity.

Some early Christians chose to celebrate the resurrection of Christ on the same date as the Jewish Passover, which fell around day 14 of the month of Nisan, in March or April. These Christians were known as Quartodecimans (the name means “Fourteeners”).

By choosing this date, they put the focus on when Jesus died and also emphasized continuity with the Judaism out of which Christianity emerged. Some others instead preferred to hold the festival on a Sunday, since that was when Jesus’ tomb was believed to have been found.

In A.D. 325, the Emperor Constantine, who favored Christianity, convened a meeting of Christian leaders to resolve important disputes at the Council of Nicaea. The most fateful of its decisions was about the status of Christ, whom the council recognized as “fully human and fully divine.” This council also resolved that Easter should be fixed on a Sunday, not on day 14 of Nisan. As a result, Easter is now celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon of the vernal equinox.
The Easter bunny and Easter eggs

In early America, the Easter festival was far more popular among Catholics than Protestants. For instance, the New England Puritans regarded both Easter and Christmas as too tainted by non-Christian influences to be appropriate to celebrate. Such festivals also tended to be opportunities for heavy drinking and merrymaking.

The fortunes of both holidays changed in the 19th century, when they became occasions to be spent with one’s family. This was done partly out of a desire to make the celebration of these holidays less rowdy.

But Easter and Christmas also became reshaped as domestic holidays because understandings of children were changing. Prior to the 17th century, children were rarely the center of attention. As historian Stephen Nissenbaum writes,

“…children were lumped together with other members of the lower orders in general, especially servants and apprentices – who, not coincidentally, were generally young people themselves.”

From the 17th century onward, there was an increasing recognition of childhood as as time of life that should be joyous, not simply as preparatory for adulthood. This “discovery of childhood” and the doting upon children had profound effects on how Easter was celebrated.

It is at this point in the holiday’s development that Easter eggs and the Easter bunny become especially important. Decorated eggs had been part of the Easter festival at least since medieval times, given the obvious symbolism of new life. A vast amount of folklore surrounds Easter eggs, and in a number of Eastern European countries, the process of decorating them is extremely elaborate. Several Eastern European legends describe eggs turning red (a favorite color for Easter eggs) in connection with the events surrounding Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Yet it was only in the 17th century that a German tradition of an “Easter hare” bringing eggs to good children came to be known. Hares and rabbits had a long association with spring seasonal rituals because of their amazing powers of fertility.

When German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, they brought this tradition with them. The wild hare also became supplanted by the more docile and domestic rabbit, in another indication of how the focus moved toward children.

As Christians celebrate the festival this spring in commemoration of Jesus’ resurrection, the familiar sights of the Easter bunny and Easter eggs serve as a reminder of the holiday’s very ancient origins outside of the Christian tradition.

Simple as that
It's always tiring when religious people say no to everything.
No sex
No soapy
No porn
No lustfully looking at a woman.

Like then why did god give us these sexual urges na

davidinchrist:


The only way to overcome sexual sins and other sins is to be surrendered to Jesus.

How do you do that?

You are looking for evidence from a book that is a total subjugation to mankind?

Thanks God bless

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?

Without sounding hypocritical masturbation is nothing more than a strong habit, wether good or bad is smtn I won't go into right now bt like every thing done in excess it is very bad and unhealthy. It can be a distraction. It does seem to have some advantages bt its more of a mind game common with many addictions and habits than anything.

Stopping it is simpler than people imagine in u follow the right steps or training. Yes cos u have to reset ur habit. That's all.

Spiritual belief maybe helpful bt its majorly changing ur strong habit just like any other strong habit uve formed. If u know what it takes u break a 'stong' habit and trained ur mind well enough it's very easy to stop. If not it's almost impossible.

1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
The Holy Spirit will guide you if u ask Him to.

The can only give you stories
Is not recorded in the Bible,

People of old are aware of masturbation but refused to include it in the Bible.

Leave matter for Mathias

Is it under must? Just asking oooh

Thanks

I guess people need to understand that this generation is totally different from the Bible's stone age...

You can't use the Bible to compare our present way of life in diz modern day...

Masturbation has been saving a lot of guys from a lot of things.

Scientifically, it has its pros and cons but the latter is minimal ...

Stop comparing everything in this life to a book written in (only God knows when)

If you are single and the urge for sex pops in...kindly soapy it and have rest of mind instead of raping teenagers and Bleep*ING oloshi where u can contract diseases or spiritual shits.

If you are married, let's assume you travel on a biz trip or your wife travelled, if the urge for sex pops in....kindly masturbate....it will save u from Bleep*ING your house maid, your wife's sister or side chicks...

Lastly, when you get married, you will stop it and you will even forget anything about masturbation ...

Am I making sense

No ..u are not making much sense, you are trying to be logical by putinnthe bibke under logic and we all know that’s not how it works....
first you said we can’t compare bible times to our time... if there anything different btw out time and biblical time it’s technology... human behaviour still remains the same... nothing is different...
The bible is clear about sexual immorality and that’s where masturbation is...have u seen people that masturbate without mental fuel such as pornn and other sexual images... I have spoken to people ... and I’ve come to one answer with all the guys Ives spoken to, the addiction isn’t pulling the d!ck, it’s the sexual images that drives them to pulling the d!ck...
.does lack of cumming kill any one?? No!!
the body naturally expels it when full during sleep....so all this masturbation and sexual addition is lack of disciple caused by constant exposure to sexual content which is everywhere these days...
As a Christian it’s not everything that is sinful, but anything that empowers ur fleshy desire over ur spiritual drive should be avoided... if u have no desire to spiritually grow then engage in whateva ur flesh is asking for without any control ... a christain that wants to pray daily, ask God for help has no business pulling his d!ck Kike his life depends on it.....
And one more thing, u even said marriage wil stop it... it’s clear u don’t even know much about masturbation... cos lots of married people still masturbate

Nothing, Zilch, Nada, Nil.

Can we stop looking at this whole masturbation thing from the spiritual angle for a sec and figure out a way to help those suffering from it. It's like every other habit and can be stopped when you discipline yourself. There are so many things the bible discussed about as sin, but our dear preachers sugar coat them and make them sound ok as long as there's grace. But on this masturbation part I NO GREE WIT UNA...
Dear poster, your friend should pick up another positive habit like workout. It has helped alot of people, when he feels the urge go touch himself, he should drop down and give himself 10 push ups..

There would be relapses but discipline is what helps., if he can't discipline himself, there's no other remedy that could help. He should focus his energy on something else.

Avoid lonely atmosphere expecially when you have the urge. Try remove your mind from porn images even with your mind and make up.your mind never to do it again. Sincerely it blocks ones blessings. Thank me later.

Masturbation is sexual pervasion; Any act that violates God's original intent. (Sexual union in marriage) such as lesbianism, masturbation, homosexuality etc is against nature and is condemned by How.

I can relate with all of these I have been fighting masturbation since I was 10...I'm in final in the university now.I don't have any friends,I keep to myself.I lack motivation.I indulged in Drugs for solace.It wrecked me.I have been able to get over Drugs but I would honestly love to stop masturbation.Its not right let's be truthful to ourselves

Lol.we all know the truth about this.but as religious pigs we are,we no go agree.

Even those wey write bible wanked

@op, give yourself to prayers and Fasting, your spirit man will become too hot for such to stay.

A lot of people won't tell you this, but that's the price you'd have to pay.

Load your mind and mouth with the word of God. People will call you pastor, but that's the way of deliverance.

Flee from any appearance of iniquity. Continously do this, be diligent in it and you will be free.

If you try to be scientific about it or use human wisdom alone, you will fail

God bless you.

Ur opinion is diff from mine.....so stick to yours

..Romans 1 v 28; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind. To do those things which are not convenient.
Masturbation is sponsored by a reprobate mind.
Get intimate with God. Take the things of God very seriously because you don't wish these things away. It takes grace and determination.

The reason why people will continue to fail at this issue is because they want to fight it without God.

That's what the old serpent wants.

Every Sunday, we must have an article here on fornication and other sexual sins. There was a thread on this particular one about some days back, now here we are again on the same issh. Una no dey tire for this talk.
Na wa oo!

Masturbation is sinning against oneself and also inviting demons to have control over ur life, he has to go for deliverance immediately and pick a hubby to distract this evil thought
