There are two types of people in the world. Those who are saved. And those who are spiritually blind.
I'm telling you this because I love you. So do you have the guts to read this whole thing written by me?
Some are proven by certain doctors to be remaining in absinence. Define abstinence: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/lent...
It is not that difficult, if you are depending on God and are high on the spirit. Some people will never understand how the spirit of God can be inside of people for them to want to live this way, and the evil spirit of Satan causes them to tell lies on God's people, and to make their lives as uncomfortable as possible. They do not respect our rights to live as a free American and to choose the ways that will lead us to an everlasting kindom when this life is over.
They judge by the fake christians,(hypocrites, set up by Satan, who pretend to be christians to kill influences of real christians) and use their lives as an example that all christians do this.
Those who go the way of sin, do so want to dream that science is true that.. an Extra Terrestrial or some creature is going to come down here and make things better, or people from other worlds have been living among us for centuries. Lies!!!
The Bible does not say that God did not create other people on those planets. But if he meant for them to come down here among us, he would have told us how to deal with them.
They had rather believe science fictional lies like this, than to believe that God really exists, and that he has a plan for us to join him in another new body after death, when this earth and all this old flesh is destroyed. Where is the missing proof that there is life after death? Just look around you. If we exists, and the earth exists, and the solar system exists, then there had to be a creator and other creations of existences to take over when this earth refuses to function any longer (brought on by the abuse of man to the environment): http://www.allaboutcreation.org/proof-of-god....
The original question of this forum is masturbation a sin? Yes it is a sin, but it is not the only sin. Here are more sins.
Rev. 21:8, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Sin can be forgiven. If we become saved and born again, we will learn (but not all in one day) little by little how to grow in the spirit, and let the spirit grow in us. Thats why new christians become discouraged and go back to their old habits. Some sinner hurts them and laughs at them and says "If you were truly a christian, you would not do this". It is not true. Rome was not built in one day. I know one of you out there will see this and curse me and have all kinds of evil things to say to me, but I don't care. I do not lean toward the popular things and "cool" things. Thanks for reading. I love you.

HELLO

What the Bible says about masterbation:
http://www.answers2prayer.org/bible_questions...

It means what it says and there is no excuses like everything else everyone fixes to suit their own case.

Also, while you are at it, read the last paragraph of Revelations

I laughed so hard when I read this I didn't think about masturbating one time.......lmao

Its often times hard to know what the bible says about masturbating because sexual verbs are very vague and most where constructed AFTER the bible was written. Most in the 1200 -1300s AD. Words like adultery , sodomy , and fornication have had their meanings morphed a little bit over the course of time.

If masturbating is taking you away from God spiritually it is a sin by default. If you are spiritually close to God and still masturbait I have no positive answer for you because of a lack of my own research.

years ago people could distinguish right from wrong seemingly more easy then we do today. We get caught up in literal meanings and accurate definitions. I personally think it is healthy to do it once a week so as to clean out your system. the great question tho is where is your mind and heart when you are doing it. Lust is a sin and I cant imagine masturbating without lust in mind.

I'd rather Turn Japanese for five minutes than ruin my life with potentially-dangerous pre-marital sex. Sure, all sin is equal, but one sin happens to have greater potential of ruining my life. Masturbation could make things awkward if someone walks in, or if they find a dildo in my bedside drawer, but it's ultimately a lesser worldly evil. As for denying any degree of lust I have... well... I'm not going to cheat on my significant other just to avoid flicking the bean.

[cardsbballmom]

Growning up I always heard 1 sure way to tell if someone plays with themselves is they bite their finger nails( guess so they don't scratch anything)...LOL

Now how many of us are going to pay attention to people biting their nails and not think of this?
