[QUOTE="TheDag, post: 64223807, member: 96964"] Well I disagree that lusting is wrong. A more biblical statement would be what you lust after makes it wrong. Jesus could have just said whoever lusts has committed adultery in his heart. However he didn't. One could argue that it makes no difference. When we look at the original language we see that the word used in Matt 5:28 is the same word used in Luke 22:15 but translated as earnestly desired. So if lusting is automatically wrong then Jesus sinned and therefore could not be the perfect sacrifice for our sins and did not need to die on the cross. Or we could say it is what one lusts after that makes something sinful and we don't have the problem. This also demonstrates that lusting is earnestly desiring something. So if while masturbating you are imagining having sex with a person then that would be sinful. If you aren't then it is not sinful. Likewise if your walking sown the street and you see an attractive woman and think she's hot that is not a sin. If you see the woman and think I'd love to get her into bed then that is a sin. Of course even if it is not a sin it can lead to further thoughts that are then sin so one should be careful and guard their mind. [/QUOTE]
