Huh. Have you read the scripture. The Bible says it’s sin -if you know to do right and don’t do it-that’s sin to the person.So your argument is basically "it's sin because I say it is".
James
James4:17
Well. Is it something good? Something to be heralded? Does it help others? I’m not saying it’s sin. The bible or says if a person knows to do good and doesn’t do it then it’s sin. He asked was it sin. I just merely quoted the Bible’s take on thingsSo if it's something you consider sin, then you need to refrain from doing it. Let others who have a different mindset be.
So you believe Jesus did this which we speak?So your argument is basically "it's sin because I say it is".
So you believe Jesus did this which we speak?
Neither would satanScripture is silent about the matter. I wouldn't take issue if He had.
Col 3:5 So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.Scripture is silent about the matter. I wouldn't take issue if He had.
Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.So if it's something you consider sin, then you need to refrain from doing it. Let others who have a different mindset be.
Yes but people have their opinions in respect to the will of God.You are mistaken. We are not entitled to our opinion in respect to God what He wants.
Would you have sex with your spouse during church service? Would you use the bathroom (not in the bathroom) in the middle of the church service?Not at all. Not saying during worship service. But if you wouldn’t do whatever there, why you doing it anywhere.
Yes, I think there is a big difference between indulging in pornography, objectifying others, lustful thinking and having a chastity failure while trying to be chaste. The struggle as well as the failures can teach us humility. But if one does not struggle, in fact feeds their own lust, that is a different matter.My belief, with reservation of being wrong, is that masturbation isn't sin. However watching improper material is sin. This is where I see a difference.
Know you not that YOU are the Temple of God.Would you have sex with your spouse during church service? Would you use the bathroom (not in the bathroom) in the middle of the church service?
And that Temple was is capable of having sex by God's will. But that does not mean anytime anyplace. In the appropriate times and place is t is a blessing. As for the topic of this thread, there is certainly a moral and spiritual aspect to what we do with our minds and bodies. As I said earlier, chastity is the ideal. We should all strive for lust free thoughts and deeds. But can a married couple be "lust free" when making love? Can teens be lust free when hormones are awakening? I am just saying let' s be human and realistic. Even a person trying their best with best intentions can have a "chastity failure" just as we all have sinful failures in many aspects of our loves. Why make such a big deal over this one as if it is worse than the rest?Know you not that YOU are the Temple of God.
Hi my bother.. I'm curious how you come to this? I don't think you understand what your saying no offense.No it is not natural it is of satan and his minions
God also created science and according to science (which god created) in some situations, masturbation can alleviate pain like unbearable tooth pain. It can also help reduce the amount of stress and improve your overall mood.God created the sexual act for the purpose of unifying spouses and procreating children, not for mere self-satisfaction. Masturbation is a sin.
