Masturbation is not a sin friend
This is what Christianity does
Makes you feel guilty for the silliest of things undecided
Though I feel there's an age where you should outgrow such things anyway grin

This is nonsense. A person's feeling of guilt cannot be used to determine whether an action is right or wrong.

It's a sin against the body...moreover it goes together with lustful desires which is an enemy of God law. Masturbation defiles God's temple

According to oxford dictionary, 'sin is an IMMORAL' act considered to be a transgression against 'DIVINE' law.


Oya lecture me.

It seems you're trying to justify your act by wanting proof knowing fully well that the word"masturbation" isn't in the bible. However if you study the word properly you will know that all sexual acts outside wedlock is condemned by God.

By the way, you seem confused. You said earlier that you feel ashamed of it and now you're saying it makes you feel good? Which one are we to take? It only makes you feel good in that moment but immediately after it leaves you in guilt, remorse, sadness and sometimes angry at yourself for indulging in it (after you must have promised never to go back to it again). So in the actual sense, it doesn't make you feel good.

You have to provide proof because as you well know, one of the most popular pastors in the country, perhaps the world clearly disagrees with you. The OP is in a quandary so you have to provide something tangible instead of accusing him of looking for justification.

Pastor Chris's opinions are irrelevant and inconsequential to the christian tenets. Jesus Christ is our "only" standard in christianity. Anyone who preaches anything contrary to what Christ commanded is on their own.

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 5: 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Is that enough proof? Can anyone masturbate without lusting in their heart? No. There are many references on Lust in the bible where it was outrightly condemned. Lust is a sin. Masturbation is the aftermath of lust so masturbation is a sin.

Well the bible does caution against spilling seed so from there a lot of people have extrapolated that masturbation is also a sin.

Man, i feel sad for you people. Can't even jerk off without thinking of God looking over your shoulder.

Masturbation is a sin.

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof." Rom. 13:14

First, you cannot masturbate without entertaining sexually immoral thoughts in your head. Christ encourages us to keep our thoughts pure and holy. Anything which is lustful and perverted is of the devil, and therefore is sinful. Also, masturbation goes together with pornography, no one can deny.

The fact that our atheist friends see nothing wrong with masturbation goes to show the reason why they chose to become atheists: they simply cannot entertain the idea of a righteous GOD who reprimands them for their sinful habits, which include sexual immorality.

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psa. 14:1
