Is this a salvation issue?

[MJS]

I have a simple Question (hopefully). Is Masturbation a salvation issue? Basically, is God not going to send you to heaven because you touch??

Thanks!

No. Mastrubation is not a salvation issue.

Not a salvation issue. Our salvation does not depend on what we do or don't do. Salvation is aFREE gift given by Jesus' sacrafice and atonement for our sins. If any other gospel is preached it is not he gospel at all.

Not a salvation issue at all. We aren't saved by our works or by anything we do or don't do. Salvation is only through the sacrafice and atonement by Jesus for our sins.

I do not think that it is a salvation issue. There are other issues which it can lead to which can cause problems. Such as looking at pornography.

I believe that it is...based on "shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid!" Romans 6:1-2
God's grace is free but we have to obey him and live faithfully and accept his grace without abusing it

I think that the problem God has with masturbation is not that we do it. Rather it's all the time and energy we waste worrying about it that bugs him.

Now that I have a chance to reflect a bit on life when I was younger I can say don't worry about it. It sits somewhere around the bottom of life's "to do" list.
