1 | no sperm upon the ground | Gen 38:9 | Emmaus | 81095 | ||
Edb, The Catholic and Protetsant,where it is taught, prohibition against mastubation does draw from the Bibilical source of Onan's spilling his seed on the ground in Genesis 38. What is not Catholic teaching is what Kingbass quoted about it being better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore than on the ground. The quote, nowhere to be found in scripture or any Catholic teaching that I am aware of, sounds like a twisted generalization based on the facts of Genesis 38 in which Onan was killed by God for spilling his seed on the ground, but Jacob was not killed after he had sexual relations with Tamar, having been tricked by her into thinking she was a pagan temple prostitute. Tamar had to do this to Jacob in order to get the justice due her under the leverite law, which Jacob was denying her. Any such teaching as suggested would be tantamount to promoting fornication at the very least. So it is no surprise it is not found in scripture. I have never heard it myself before today. It also sound like a sinner's rationalization of one sin by saying it is less sinful than another sin. Emmaus |

2 | no sperm upon the ground | Gen 38:9 | EdB | 81130 | ||
Emmaus To a young man of my day the prohibition against fornication was so real especially with a whore that it virtually eliminated the very thought of it, therefore this saying made masturbation unthinkable. In today’s gender we might view this as promoting fornication over masturbation believe me when I first heard it, it rendered both inconceivable to me. In those days if you remember we didn’t look for ways skirt around the law. In fact we even stopped for red traffic lights and listened to policemen back then, and believed that if you killed someone you would be electrocuted. EdB |
