2 Timothy 3:2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane

Is masterbadtion a sin? I've read many places and most say its normal and its not a sin. But I can't help feeling like its wrong.
Look... there is no actually a bible verse that is refering directly to masturbation... There is a story for a man in the Old Testament ''Genesis 38:3-10'' called Onan that "spilled his seed (semen) on the ground" during sex .God was sad of him and killed him. But this story does not actually refers to masturbation.Anyway it is probably a sin because you become addicted to a non spiritual thing.And in my opinion sex should be expresion of love and not pleasure
It really leaves an impure feeling to oneself afterwards. We are to be pure. I don't believe many do it out of faith either, but doubt about it being Sin or not, while doing it. Therefore it also becomes sin, because whatever is not of faith is sin (Rom 14:23).
It's really a trap. It opens up for sexually immoral thoughts and lust. We shouldn't be getting into willful temptations like that. "And lead (bring) us not into temptation...." (Matt 6:13).

I have to agree that it is in fact sin. I know it is considered "normal" but it is dangerously addictive and sense you feel it is wrong, it probably isn't worth doing. No matter how enjoyable it may feel.

Sex is meant to produce offspring and is permitted within the context of marriage. "Spilling seed" made God displeased because that is not why he gave us "seed."
Yes because masturbation goes hand in hand usually with sexual fantasies which is lust and very much sin. Masturbation can become very addictive and masturbation often leads to feelings of guilt which leads you away from God which is exactly what the enemy wants.
