Is masturbating a sin?

[zippy2006]

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.

Lots of evil things can have pleasant side effects.

 

[Truth Crusader238]

Do it in church then

That is a very vulgar and repulsive thing to say or even think of.....You should be ashamed

Save it. If you are one that thinks it is ok anywhere you should be ashamed. And the church isn’t the Temple we are.

No. Its relieving sexual tension. Epistle John chapter 3. The difference between sinners and habitual sinners. The Christian will repent. Those who are habitual sinners, don't care and won't repent. I find this topic little silly. Peace.

If one continues in said behavior there is no repentance. Sexual tension? Nonsense that is of this world. We that are His have escaped or are to escape the world and its lusts.

It is lustful

 

[Sabertooth]

I was wondering if masturbation is a sin? Like No inappropriate content, no thoughts or nothing. Just the sexual desire to want to have sex but in the act you’re not thinking about anyone sexual.. if anything what I am saying makes sense, lol

What constitutes evil? I don't see masturbation to be evil at all as long as it's not excessive which results in addiction.

It is lustful. Lust is not of the Spirit.

It is lustful. Lust is not of the Spirit.

It is only lustful when you lust over someone or watch porn while masturbating. You can touch with a clear mind... at least for us women that is.

Where does it say in the bible that masturbation is a sin?

Not true. The end result is gratifying the flesh therefore lustful and not God's intention for our bodies.

It is a sinful act.

It is something that is extremely natural too.

All we can do is turn to God in times of need and ask for strength and guidance.

Save it. If you are one that thinks it is ok anywhere you should be ashamed. And the church isn’t the Temple we are.

To clarify - Where did anyone say it was "ok anywhere"?

Some people are born with high sex drives.. yes sexual tension is a real thing if you're not married and are single. Getting married to fix sexual tensions isn't as easy.. Some people struggle to find companionship for whatever the reason might be. There are some good health benefits from masturbating. you can do it without watching porn or lusting.. There is nothing in the bible that says that masturbation is a sin for as long as lust isn't a part of it.

 

[CoreyD]

Nonsense. I did not even know about sex until told. Let me guess, people just wake up one day and say hey, why don’t I pleasure myself. C’mon…. It is worldly thing brought to our attention by the world by its god and his minions. It is not natural or a natural intended purpose of our bodies.

Now that you mention that, I did not know masturbation was a thing, until I was in my early twenties, when I was around some really immoral men, who had nothing better to talk about than what they did or would like to do to women.

 

[returntosender]

Well you all have talked it to death. There's nothing you can say to those who want to find excuses to do it. Let's move on, aye?

 

[CoreyD]

It's something I can't seem to get victory over in my own life.

Keep trying.
When you have a relapse, try to determine what led to it.
Make sure to regularly set your mind on the things of the Spirit, and avoid setting your mind on the flesh - be careful about what you watch, or let your mind dwell on. Romans 8:5
Ask a friend who knows about your struggle, to check up on you occasionally.
You can succeed, even if it takes years.
