From what I understand, Baptists view this as a sin. I don't know about the idolatry thing and your views on it but I know it helps control lustful thoughts if I have religious pictures or a crucifix in the room. Or read the Bible if you feel tempted. But it is a normal thing that many people your age struggle with. Don;t worry to much about it. :)

I know. That's why I gave you the (I think) the Baptist viewpoint on it. However I really don't know alot about Baptists. You might want to ask this question in the Baptist subforum.

Baptists: Baptists - Christian Forums

Anabaptists: Anabaptists - Christian Forums

There you go, I would highly recommend asking them as they will know better than me, but I'll continue to discuss it with you if you want.

You said it begins with n that threw me off and hey brother not everyone begins at 15 lol. I take it that you're struggling and you get a feeling that it's wrong but you're not sure because the Bible isn't straight forward about it.

It's wrong, bud. It's a sin. And we all worship the same God with the same Bible so the whole denominational thing is a clever joke. Will God say by Catholics do this and hey Methodist do that? Lets not kid ourselves here.

Good luck and may the Lord give you the strength to overcome this sinful beast of an addiction before it takes a strong grip out of your youth.

I wasn't trying to trick anyone. Denominations disagree on various issues. Only one is right of course, but most people believe they are and no one changes their lives on an online internet forum.
