how is masturbation a sin

[Ultraviolet]

i mean , i bet most people have done it. everyone in fact.
how is it a sin. its never mentioned in the bible. so is it really a sin?

 

[Jerome jnr]

According to the Bible:
1. Sexual perversion -God did not create sex to be that way.
2. Sexual immorality - what Jesus said that he who looks at a woman with lustful eyes has commited adultery with her already in his heart and obviously while one is masturbating he is thinking of a girl.
3. For someone to ask if it is right to touch then his conscience has been convicting him and the person is uneasy about the issue so therefore it does not proceed from faith and it becomes a sin. Although it talks about eating here but its still the same "Rom 14:23 man who has doubts about eating and then eats stands condemned before God cause he is not true to his convictions an he does not act from faith. For whatever does not originate and proceed from faith is sin."
God help us all.

1. He didn't make mistakes, though. If we can do it without sex, then of course we should be able to...
2. Your imagination isn't really looking at a girl, though. Your immagination, I'm sure, should be fine?

I struggle with this myself, and let me tell you it is a sin, when i do i feel the guilt. And it is a perversion of a gift that God made for the procreation of children between a married couple.

 

[TheApostleJohn]

If you are lusting while you do it, then it is a sin. Also "everyone" doing something does not make it right.

Well I've Aspergers syndrome and it usually includes eating disorders. My parents usually want me to eat more than I want because I usually don't eat much. Is it a sin then because I have doubts about eatin? Like I know I must eat, but I can't eat as much as I hoped I could.

I think some calrification is needed here. When they said doubts about eating they did not mean " should i eat or not eat" they meant "is eating gainst God's will?"

I disagree with the majority. It is a sin when you lust, when you fantasise etc, then yes it is a sin, and you will know believe me, the guilt is horrible. However if you do not think of anything and are using it more as a stress relief and a combat to hormones, it is absolutely fine.

Any quotes of cutting off your right hand when it sins or Onan, are not interpreted to mean masturbation.

It's fine as long as you don't lust.

God Bless.

I dont see how touching yourself is even possible without lust lol, like ummmmm "ARGGHH I MUST BATTLE MY HOROMONES AND RELIEVE MY STRESS BY MASTERBATING TO HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS TREE IS IN MY FRONT YARD!!",

errrrrr

"Ohhhh my grass is so green, I MUST touch" I just dont see it happening.

It is very much possible. Just clear your mind.

God Bless.

So basically 14:23 means "Don't do something if you're not sure if it's okay":o

If we were to clear our minds we wouldnt have the urge to touch.

exactly, if your not sure God is cool with it, dont do it untill you find out what the bible says about it.

Like a lot of people have said here already it is the lustful thinking that goes along with masturbation that is the sin. I don't think it can be done without lustful thinking.

 

[MasterpieceMesias]

there's no thinking, it can't be done. The two go hand-in-hand. Sorry, but anyone who thinks you can touch without having any sexual thoughts clearly has been neglecting their higher brain functions. (in other words, they're being foolish)

 

[bobbyfisher]

If masturbation is a sin, why did God create masturbation??
