• 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

Masturbation isn't sinful, it's just sad because it probably means you can't get some from anywhere else.

Not true at all. Look at it this way - it can be just a quick pick-me-up for in betweens, ya know? ;)

Christians,

Refer to I Corinthians 6:18

"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body."

*That includes impurity in thought, word, or DEED*

So the question is not: "Is masturbation ethical?"... The question is now: "How can we STOP!?!?!"

You can't stop, want to know why? Because masturbation is an instinctual behavior found in many mammals, including humans.
So, either the god that supposedly made in his perfect image from dust appears to have built in a "sinful" impulse for some mysterious reason or there's nothing wrong with it.

That is not the question, because you have hardly answered the first question. To say that we should not sin is a tautology, because sin includes in its character a negative imperative, that is to say, a sin is such that one should never do it. The same is true of sexual sin.

However, YOU HAVE SAID NOTHING. You have not explained sexual sin in a way that we can understand what that is to include. All that you have said is that we should not do what we should not do. You lose, try again.
