• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Again, we'll have to agree to disagree. It's a matter of opinion.

No problem. Disagreement is a common occurrence among thinking people. :)

This is all based on hypotheticals though. We don't know what goes on inside other men's heads, unless of course they actually tell us. So you don't know that they don't struggle with these thoughts anymore than I know they do struggle with them. That's why I'm saying this is should be judged on an individual basis. But I get the point you're making here.

Okay! :ok:

Selah.

Look, masturbating is not a sin. Lusting after a woman in your heart is (if she is not your wife). If you want to make masturbating an evil thing, do it to porn, or with the image of a particular female in your mind. The act of releasing sexual pressure, however, is not itself evil any more than releasing the pressure of your bladder is an evil thing. In fact, masturbating is an effective way to keep yourself under control sexually. You'll not find a single verse in all of the Bible that states that masturbating is sinful. Not one. But you will find many verses that command you to keep your thoughts sexually pure and holy. It is possible to relieve pressure without having your mind filled with dirty thoughts. If you keep your thoughts sexually pure when you touch, you've got nothing to stress over. :)

Selah.

Amen. I as a female struggle with masturbation too! I have to keep my mind clear about it, though which is my biggest struggle right now.
