1 | is it wrong to masterbate? | 1 Cor 7:9 | Ray | 141931 | ||
Hi Russ, In comparing these Scriptures, I think that we can see how it should be in the kingdom of God. The kingdom has high standards certainly; for even when a man looks at a woman with lust for her, he commits adultery with her in his heart. This is called adultery whether masturbation is involved or not. In other words, masturbation is not spoken against here, but rather it is talking of the condition of ones' heart especially in regard to relationships. I don't believe that masturbation would be so bad, that we should cut off our hands or male body part in order not to go to hell. There is no law against masturbation. I would compare Matt 5:25-32 with 1 Cor 6:11, "And such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ..." We are under the law of the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor 6:12 goes on and says, "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything." If we keep our minds on the things of God we will not be mastered by anything. From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray, For you have said: "The kingdom has high standards certainly; for even when a man looks at a woman with lust for her, he commits adultery with her in his heart." And I most whole-heartly agree with you on this! You said: "I don't believe that masturbation would be so bad, that we should cut off our hands or male body part in order not to go to hell. There is no law against masturbation." I'll agree that there is no law against masturbation. I searched a long time to satify my sinful nature. Then God, speaking to me in a Christian bookstore, and through Dr. Stanley showed me the light with the book "Every Man's Battle." I have learned the error of my ways, and Jesus has accepted my repentance. So, I ask you, what is masturbation? I hope I don't have to answer that here. Masturbation happens because 1. we have lusted over a different sexual partner than our own. Male or female it makes no difference. Lust is lust therefore a sin. Or, 2. We sexually gratify ourselves when our partner is physically unable to help us. Using example number 1, masturbation is imoral and a sin. One that will comdem us to eternal damnation. Using the example number 2, then masturbation could be allowed, if you use only use stimuli from inside the marriage. (You only think of your spouse.) I hope this makes my position more clear. Your friend and brother in Christ. Russ |
