Fellow people, I have been wondering about this subject for a while but have failed to find the answer. The question is rather awkward and may hurt some peoples' feelings. I'm warning you. My question is, is it against God's word/sin to masturbate? Please answer in order to help me become a complete Christian and a soldier of the Lord's army. |

2 | Is it wrong to? | Col 3:5 | stevenrn | 121423 | ||
God built us with internal sexual desires; yet, He also has provided us with ways to fulfill those desires outside of sin. The Bible plainly states that sexual desires should be fulfilled only through lawful marriage between a man and a woman. The fact of the matter is; masturbation is a result of uncontrolled sexual desires and thus is a sin. It also often leads to other carnal sins. Read what Paul writes throughout his letters to the ancient church. The spirit of his messages are self-control and obedience. Finally; it is important to note that we all sin and cannot work our way into heaven. None are perfect; but we should always strive for perfection. |

'Masturbation is never described in the Bible as sexually immoral. The context of 1 Corinthians 6:18 is sex with a harlot (1 Corinthians 6:13-17), which is certainly sexually immoral. But, masturbation is never identified in this way.' 'Scripture does not teach that [masturbation] is "not according to the purpose of God." Moreover, the Word of God never identifies it as "unnatural." Homosexuality is unnatural (Romans 1:26-27). Masturbation is never spoken of in this way.' 'What about 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8? 'These are some serious words to heed (Psalm 119:60)! But, again, what is being spoken of is sexual immorality, and masturbation is never classified as such. Someone may argue, "masturbation is not 'in sanctification and in honor.'" Says who? The Lord says no such thing (Proverbs 30:5-6).' ____________________ These are excerpts from an article found at the website "A True Church."
