Bible Question: Is masterbating bad according to the Bible? |
Bible Answer: Matt 5:28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Hi, I think the question many have is not wheter sexual immorality is forbidden by God or the Bible. Their question is wheter or not masturbating is considered to be sexually immoral. When something isn't specifically addressed people find it easy to make exceptions and I think this is one of those cases. I believe it to be immoral because it usually involves lusting. Also, as a Christian my conscious which is with the Holy Spirit tells me so. The fact that you have this question and it troubles you should be you first indication that it is something God does not wish for us. Hope this helps. God be with you |
