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 |

Genesis 4:7 If you do well,will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well,sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you,but you must master it. God didnt waste any time to encourage us to deal with our sin. Ray I am super grateful for all your input and encouragement. Thanx for keeping us all on our toes. Your brother in Christ, lionheart |
