1 | is masterbation wrong | Matt 5:28 | jr8 | 118184 | ||
Hello Personal satifactions is not always a sin. I believe it becomes a sin when lust enters into your mind and your life. If masturbation causes you to do other things, that are sins, such as adultrey, lust, etc... then it itself becomes a sin. If you masturabte but feel you shouldn't be, or feel guilty about it, then I would take a close look at why you are doing it. Most of the time guilt feelings or disturbed concience is a sign we have done somthing wrong. The most important thing is to confess that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe this in your heart and ask for forgiveness of all sins. Then you want need to masturabate for God will supply all of your needs. |

"If masturbation causes you to do other things, that are sins, such as adultrey, lust, etc... then it itself becomes a sin." This sounds great! The problem I see with this is that you have established that masturbation of itself is not wrong... basically it is the same premise as: "I am only thinking about killing so it is ok because I am not really killing anyone in the physical plane. But the struggle is not in the corporial but in the spiritual other wise Jesus would not had had to exact that "desire in thought" was sin! When a person has sex he/she is thinking about the act of coupling... when a person masturbate he/she is thinking of not coupling but of releasing a nervous tension? The act in itself is designed by desire (lust) for someone other then oneself in a sexual content... how can it not be pleasuring ourselves mentally? "if you desire (think/lust) in your mind you have sinned" (paraphrased). Bear in mind that I am not Christ, therefore I am just as much a sinner as the next person... my understanding of the Scriptures do not have to be accepted; Christ's Word is exacting--even when seeming ambiguous or indirect. God Bless! Angel |
