Bible Question: I've been told before that homosexuality and masterbation is a sin but I have never been told where in the bible this can be found. does anyone know? and what is your own personal view on this subject? |
Bible Answer: Along with the story of SODOM and GOMORRAH (Gen 18 and 19) Romans 1:27 is an awesome scripture about homosexuality. As far as masterbation goes, I use Galations 5:19 - 21 as one of a few scriptures which condem impurity (ie porn, masturbation, revealing magazine covers in grocery store checkout lines, etc) I also use a few logic arguments. 1) If GOD considers for example lust is equal to adultery against GOD himself and lust is only looking, how much more would he condem a physical act such as masturbation. 2) The only form of pure sex I find in the bible is between a man and woman who are married. Any other form of sex is condemned ( homosexuality, beastiality, and sex with self -masturbation) |
