Can i ask for you two to list all the sins described in the Bible that you find yourself to be guilty

Thank you and waiting

Um, sure... why would you want to?

This thread is about masturbation and whether it is lust or not... so far, i havn't seen you post anything from the Bible that actually deals with the topic.

Why does a list of our sins make any difference to the fact all your posts have beemn irrelevant to the OP?

IF we break the law at ONE POINT WE ARE GUILTY OF ALL IM GUILTY OF ALL

I AM A SINNER saved by FAITH in the Blood of Christ, being transformed by the power of God and taught by the GRACE of God to put off my old man.

Praise HIS GOODNESS

Prov 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one ~his own~ goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

Job 9:20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I SAY, I am perfect, it shall also ~prove me~ perverse.

Interesting that THATS whats considered PERVERSE huh?

Peace

I find this question quite interesting:
The argument that many here use to support the claim that mastrubation is inherently wrong is that Christ said, lust outside marriage counts as adultery. Presumably, this is the case when someone fantasizes about a friend, celebrity, or other actual person. So my question is as follows: If, for example, someone reads suggestive stories while mastrubating, or imagines an entirely fictional character, does this still count as luts/adultery? After all, you're not actually necessarily fantasizing about adultery - you could, for example, imagine that this person is your wife, and anyway, since she's not a real person, you aren't actually comitting adultery with her in your imagination...

Thoughts, anyone?

Whether you're physically gratifying yourself for whatever reason, imagining sex with someone real or not, the fact of the matter is that lust is in your heart.

And whatever is in your heart is going to come out. That's what God is looking at, not just the physical aspect of lust.

I hope this answers your question(s).

Oh man. You are so far over the line at this point you couldn't see it if you looked behind you.

You should have stopped pages ago.

Ah, but surely as others have said here, there's a difference between lust and sexual attraction? Lust means an overwhelming, almost obsessive desire, while sexual attraction is the normal and healthy (and, indeed, necessary, from a human race point of view) attraction most people feel to members of the opposite sex?

Oh great. Another thing to second guess ourselves on constantly... "am I lusting or is it healthy sexual attreaction? Hmmm... better repress it, just to be safe"
