Masturbation is not wrong!

I wonder if believers that think that masturbating is a sin, and that do masturbate, ask forgiveness while they're doing it. "Oh god, please forgive me, oh wash away my sins, oh yes, hallelujaaah!!!" :biglaugh:

Heb 10:26 - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins

Joh 7:7 - The world cannot hate you; butme it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Pr 19:25 - Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge

Mr 14:38 - Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

Ga 4:14 - "My Temptation...was in my flesh..."

It is a growing experince. If you dont think it is a sin, then think that, just like many people think being homosexual is not wrong. I see it as this. Most people on here do not want to change, and have made up in their mind that they won't.

I will not try to proove to you that This act is wrong. Everyone needs to grow and learn for themselves. Yet sometimes when one teaches themself they get taught wrong.

Some good points about opening your heart and listening and learning. Question, why do you seem to think this only applies to others, and not also to yourself?

You like to tell others, and teach, yet, you don't seem to be open to the teachings of others.

All that i type comes from insight and have applied them to myself and I follow them. I would not tell you to do something i myself do not do, it is not ethical.

I listen, but i dont like the acceptance of things that are flase, one must look at the big Picture and see the truth in things. Many people have their own reasons for beleiving certain things, some facts convince them, while some they ignore to keep their faith. I will not condemn anyone it is a growing experince, I listen and learn but that doesn't mean i have to accpet a lie(that is if i actually know the truth).

Which is why plenty of us are unconvinced that your study in literature has still come up short on good reasons to cease our self-pleasure.

The sin of Onan was to his unfullfilingness to his God, not his spilling of seed.
Masturnation glorifies god by exercising his temple (body) properly in the manner it was made to be used. sexual masturnbation is important for sexual and mental health and therefore benefits the temple (body) of God

I don't think Onan was doing anything close to masterbation. From a literal interpretation here, Onan basically withdrew prematurely. Thats the way it reads NASB. I don't think the actual act of masterbation is wrong per-say, but the thought process that goes along with it is. Actually I always thought though that masterbation was a perversion of what God really intended. The sexual experience is supposed to be with a woman, more specifically with your wife. If anything, masterbation is an insult to the way God designed our bodies to function.

Funny. I do the same. I speak from my insight. I do my best to apply my insight to my own life. My insight comes from my faith and my relationship with God, and his Son, Jesus Christ.

Yet, I have received many PMs from you telling me that I'm wrong and living a sinful life.

Weird.

You don't KNOW the truth. You THINK you do because of your personal "insight" which is no more valid than anyone else's. You speak from a self assuredness that comes from conceit. So adament in your own mind that you are willing to tell everyone else that they must learn but, are yourself, unwilling to learn from others.

Masturbation can not only be used by yourself, but can be used in the acts with someone else. When caught up in the act of lovemaking with your partner and your hands start to roam, what difference does it make if both partners are enjoying it?

Obviously you will say that I have no shame to even discuss such things. They are merely facts of life though that every adult knows and deals with. There should be no stigma about discussing that which is a part of are normal lives. It is the ones like you who attach these stigmas and make things "wrong" to talk about or discuss openly because of the "morality" of it. I say if more people discussed these things then maybe our society wouldn't be so messed up about certain sex topics. I mean really...it's sex, and every animal species on the planet deals with it. How can it be that bad?

Insight Should not only come from yourself, but from God. God spoke through the Prophets and the Apostles declaring Homosexualioty among many others things to be wrong. I simply believe what he said. I only voice your sin that you might turn from it not to make you feel bad.

1- Frankly Draka,I wont try to prove to you what the truth is. You are blind to God.

2- Your Sexual life, that, between your wife or your husband is personal. You can do what you wish. But Christians ought not to do certain things we are expected to be holy unto the Lord, not to live as sex crazed people.

3- Every animal on the earth knows it place except the human being. A Dog knows to have sex with a dog. a Cow with a bull, it's in the nature to Reproduce. But humans, being sinful, want to go a little further to add some "fun" to it. They have messed up what God intended. And I wont go into the topic. Let's just say humans today have had a huge moral decline, atleast from the Religious and Holy Viewpoint. A Sinful person would disagree.

Are you implying that you yourself are so free of sin your views are somehow more accurate or truthful than those you consider sinners? BTW, What do you think of the silly notion that pride is one of the seven deadly sins?

I'm curious, Jerrell, what you think of the ancedote of the Hollywood producer and the Indian guru in my last post? Do you think the guru has a point in thinking the best way to deal with lust is not to condemn and deny it, but to satisfy it so that it does not become overwhelming, much as one would satisfy hunger so that it does not become overwhelming? Or, is there a serious flaw in such thinking? If so, what's the flaw?
