Is Masturbation In The Bible? by agwom(m): 6:59am On May 01, 2015 |
I have never found the word masturbation in my King James Bible. BUT that does not mean that the subject is not touched upon in several scriptures. Let's look at some scriptures to find out what God thinks about such things. Psalm 90:8 - "Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance." The point here is that God sees and knows everything that you do. Many people masturbate in private and many masturbate to porn in private. These secret sins that maybe no one else on earth might know about, even your spouse if you are married are wide open to god and he sees all of it. Here lies a problem for those who are caught in the snare of the Devil in regard to sexual sin which includes masturbation. I am not going to debate what the world says about the subject because that is a waste of time. God has his Word and we are to keep his commandments and be holy as he is holy. If it were not possible then God would not have laid it out in his Word to be done. 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17 - "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Here we are specifically discussing the Christian who is sinning and not obeying the Word of God. If you need deliverance because you have opened the door to demons through porn and masturbation and sexual sin or if they have traveled down to you through family lines then there is hope for you to be delivered. You may try self-deliverance and it will work but they will be back due to the fact that you have become weak in this area. That is why we confess our faults to each other according to scripture with other Christians who are trusted and who do not gossip and who will stand with us and help strengthen and encourage us. But if you still abide in your sins and do not repent then you have trouble for yourself physically among other things. If you destroy God's temple then God will destroy you and sexual sin of any kind including masturbation affects you physically, mentally, and emotionally whether you want to accept it or not. Many of you suffer physical problems and infirmities and sicknesses as well as mental and emotional problems due to regular sexual sins which include masturbation. This is the destruction taking place according to scripture because by Jesus' stripes you have been healed. And if you have been healed and yet are suffering then there is something going on that is causing the trouble. And that something going on is sexual sins including masturbation. Now let's look at something Jesus said because I have read and heard others saying, "Well Jesus never said anything about it so it must be OK." "But I (Jesus) say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Hell." Matthew 5:28-30 Now take a look at this scripture. You look on a woman to lust after her and when you do you have already committed adultery with her in your heart. If you are not married you have committed fornication. 1 Like 1 Share |

Please if you want to Masturbate, do so. Enjoy it as much as you can but don't look for scriptures to justify it. The bible didnt mention smoking so lets all bring cigarettes and weed to church and smoke. After Masturbation how do you feel? Do you thank God for the wonderful opportunity to indulge in it? We all have a conscience. "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. " - James 1:14-15 1 Like |
