Brother, I will not say masturbation is right or wrong. I have my opinion, but I choose to keep it to myself. I will say that Galatians 5:22-23 doesn't say a word about masturbation, and it surely does not address the act under the specific circumstances as mentioned by the author of the question. Exercising self-control does not define as masturbation, and there is nothing anywhere in the context to suggest that he is assuredly speaking of this act. I know of no scripture that ascribes sin to masturbation, short of the laws of cleanliness in Deuteronomy. But these laws weren't concerning the act, only the defiling of the body and the necessary physical purification after getting issue on yourself, your bed, your clothes, your chair, etc. Now, I hope you don't take this note personally. It is my intent to edify to all good works, not to make you angry or indignant. I mean well, and I hope I gave you good and worthy information. Ancient |

Masturbation - what does the Bible say? Ancient: It is refreshing to read an honest assessment of this issue for a change. I appreciate the way you approach the subject from a biblical perspective. You set a good example. Grace to you, kalos 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 (ESV) Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. [6] Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. |
