Masturbation and Fantasy

[]RiSeN[]

And its not looking at women thats bad, God made them all beautifull for us, the problem is when we get to looking at them "so as to have a passion" for them. Meaning we are using our imaginations to invent a setting in which a desire for passion or lust is created, in our hearts.

Ok, we all agree that our Christian lives are to be "Holy and Pleasing to God", so that in the Final Day of Judgement we would ALL be presented "Perfect and Blameless" before the Lamb...

Now, if I'm playing with myself, is that being "Holy and Pleasing to God?" that this act which lasts from 1min - 1hour is helping me to be presented "Perfect and Blameless" before the Lamb?

I do have struggles with this, but it is in this area of my life which I fail miserably in, and therefore need God's help - to trust in him to provide me with anything and everything I need. This is where I see his power perfected in me and the Holy Spirit's "realness" (for lack of a better word) in my life.

To be legalistic and say that masturbation is wrong/right is not quite on the ball (though it should be discussed) - the Bible sheds NO light on masturbation, it talks about Lust and the matters of the human heart, and the principles which govern Christ's Church (that's you, AND me) until his return. We guys struggle through this everyday, especially in our sex-crazed society but that does not make it right (read Romans 7);

Brothers and sisters in Christ, we are a Royal Priesthood of God's Kingdom (1Peter); think like it, act like it and pray powerfully.

No, it's not a sin unless it becomes obsessive which is quite rare.

It is emphatically not rare.

Ya...um i dont know if the word "rare" is fitting. The pornography industry is a multy-billion dollar industry, i dont think all their products are being bought up by only a few "dirty old" billionaires. And yes, porno is wrong.
