  • 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.

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.

Truth: We are all born into sin...

Yes: It is easier to sin than to do right...

Wrong: To assume our that we have no choice in the matter...
___________

We are all built with free will... Every action that has taken place in your life has been as a result of your own doing... When those impure thoughts arise, we have a choice to go right or wrong... Nobody is forcing your hand (Sort of speak)...

*And yes... We are built in God's perfect image but again it is our choice to live up to that great gift to the best of our ability*

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!?!?!"

That's not possible, I don't think. Just as deadbolt, masturbation is natural. Humans and animals will try to find some way to pleasure themselves. How can it be wrong when there's so many benefits to masturbation? (Not in regards to pleasure)

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.

We all sin and fall short of the Glory of God... No doubt about that...

What I stated was a direct reflection of the word of God... If you believe God's word, then this "dispute" is in vain because there is no compromise in God's word...

Tom Lehrer's song "Smut" leaps to mind here:
[FONT=arial,helvetica]
[/FONT]All books can be indecent books
Though recent books are bolder
For filth, I'm glad to say, is in
The mind of the beholder
When correctly viewed
Everything is lewd
I could tell you things about Peter Pan
And the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man


 Looks like DJUAN likes to err on the extreme side of caution.

I wonder if you have the faculties to understand what I'm saying, but my point is that the passage you cited is entirely tautological and no help at all, because it does not tell us what is sexual sin and what is not.
I completely doubt that we all fall short of the glory of God.

Exactly. Some people have hydrophobic skin, but does that mean we should condemn washing? Babies can't eat steak, but does that mean we shouldn't let a grown man eat a nice 8oz Sirloin?

I don't think you've grasped my point at all.
Masturbation is an instinctual behavior found inherent in nature.
Many mammals, mostly primates, do it without any prompting. This has been observed and reported upon, so why is it different from any other biological function?

Sorry 'bout that. In the future, I'll say "shaking hands with the unemployed" instead of "polishing the bishop."

Please.....not that either! It reminds me of one joke that's in equally poor taste.
