If having a sex drive is evil, then so is eating, sleeping and drinking liquids. Have fun in hell, everyone.
Hey, that's pretty darn good.Since I think about sex ALOT (sin) & had a wet dream yesterday, the 6th in about 2 months, can I justify masturbation? I haven't masturbated since feb that the reason why I have wetdreams frequently. My goal is to abstain from sex until marriage but temptations are all around i.e. I see sexually attractive. Im a sex addict so this a huge challenge.
Yes, masturbation is a sin. It is a grave sin as well which means that committing this sin can cause you to lose your salvation and go to Hell.
Do you believe the sexual dreams are sinful too?Yes, masturbation is a sin. It is a grave sin as well which means that committing this sin can cause you to lose your salvation and go to Hell.

Has anyone considered castration?
I guarantee it would solve about 95% of your problems.
Castration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are doctors that will do it.
This thread needed more humor
Because people can't control themselves. Did they have internet child porn and human trafficking in the Old Testament? Just checking.I think Christians need to starve themselves and get out the old cat o'nine tails and flog themselves, like in the good, ole days. We need more Gnostic teachings and practices in the modern day church.
Now, it's all self denial, asceticism and suffering. Money is evil, so is sex, the body and everything material.

By the way, I'm not saying touching yourself is a sin, I'm saying that if something is out of control in your life, you need to fix it and ask God to help you. If someone wants to mentally castrate or flog themselves, I say hell yeah, if it will keep you from acting out and keep you close to God.
"Here's a little quiz to see which way you might lean. As I said above, consider what frustrates you most when reading threads like this.
#1. If you get angry at sinners who try to justify their sinful actions, you may fall into category
#2. If you get angry at judgmental people who try to tell people what to do, you may fall into category
#3. If you get angry at your own inability to get past the sinful barriers in your life, you may fall into category"
(thank you, I enjoyed your post)
BUT, none describes me well, my reply:
1 Sinners are not held to the same standard; they're not the righteous so are irrelevant.
2 I don't know the people AND I'm going to do what I want to anyway.
3 It's not a sin to me, I don't struggle.
My # 4 Would be that what irritates me most is the not thinking and the kneejerk response to anything sexual, the twisting of scripture(ie I don't think Jesus was thinking of mb when he said looking at a woman to lust...), and the laying on guilt to people that want to please God, are in the throes of hormonal puberty and they feel like utter failures when they succumb (which BTW is James Dobson's take on it).
So yeah, that frustrates me.
Brinny I don't think anyone disagrees with what you put in post #290. However it did not counter what Johnnz said. The fact is that the church has a very unhealthy obsession against sex. Sure the bible is supportive of it however the church in general has not taught that and that is reflected in the views of many.
You have once again repeated the line about whatever you put before God is sin. I realise that. i learnt that even christian music can be wrong if it is more important than God. However what you have not done is shown how people are putting that before God. If anything you are making the assumption they are.
If you care to answer that with your words then I will read them. I will not watch anymore clips you post after the two I have seen already. I outlined earlier how the argument in one of them was so full of errors and holes that I just am not prepared to spend hours watching more. if I watched every clip you have posted in this thread it would take an entire day. You need to be realistic about what your asking people to do when you post those videos.
