They were made for each other by God, they were married you could say, and so they could look and lust after their spouse all they wanted, it isn't a sin to look at your spouse and have lustful thoughts.....this is the righteous design, for sex, and love for your spouse.......plus they were the only two naked people walking around at the time1) I have a lot of female friends, and a lot of those female friends dress 'provocatively'. That does not mean I want to have sex with them at all. Same goes of cousins, sisters, nieces, etc. Because that would be kind of strange.
2) Why should I follow the Bible? Depending on what and how you mean by sin, of course.
3) I thought before the crap hit the fan, Adam and Eve were naked. So it wasn't a sin to walk around not clothed at all then...but now it's a sin to walk around half-clothed?
Masturbation is quite normal. In fact it has many health benefits such as protecting against prostate cancer in males. The vast vast majority of both males and females touch. It appears to be the norm for most people.
Antarctika : Is living without sinning even remotely possible?
But then after god became displeased with them he made them ashamed of their bodies...even around each other.They were made for each other by God, they were married you could say, and so they could look and lust after their spouse all they wanted, it isn't a sin to look at your spouse and have lustful thoughts.....this is the righteous design, for sex, and love for your spouse.......plus they were the only two naked people walking around at the time
No, it is impossible for every single human on this earth right now, and all humans that have lived. Living a life without sin is 100% impossible. Pretty grim.
However, there is one Human that defeated the spiritual virus of sin, and was able to perfectly live a life free of sin. For this, Christians worship this Human as our King, because His life, death, and resurrection vindicated the human race in the eyes of God. His name is Yahoshuah (Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, Messiah, etc.) So, we have victory through Christ's sacrifice for us - blamelessly dying for our evil and debauchery to ransom our souls from hell (lifelessness, death, corruption, etc.)
To answer the question for the post, masturbation and [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] without the consent of God (i.e. outside of love making with a committed partner) is forbidden. As images of God our seed is a reflection of holy progeny. So, to waste it is ludicrous to God: our seed is meant to produce children. A tree doesn't drop acorns with no hopes of [some of] them growing into trees, and dandilions do not release spores with no hopes of future generations. We, as humans, should not "drop our acorns" for no reason either.
Besides all of this, you lose so many nutrients by [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] if you are not having intercourse. Men lose 1/3 of their daily value of zinc per [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. Zinc is important in immunity. Proteins, sugars and other nutrients and minerals are surged into feeding the sperm so that when it is time to [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] the sperm will be healthy - but you lose this if you spill/waste your seed.
If you have intercourse with a female, the way God designed it (without a condom), the female vaginal fluids replenish most all of the nutrients lost in [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. So, intercourse for procreation with your mate is both divinely correct, and medically ideal.
Depends how often you [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]. Regardless, all the sperm you (well, not you...You... are aware that the male body produces sperm constantly, and that most of this sperm goes to waste, right? Sperm only lives a couple of days after they have matured, and if they aren't [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] then they die anyway and are taken care of by your body's immune system. And besides that every time a woman has a period she's dropping off an acorn... right?
We're actually pretty good at absorbing what we can digest. The multiple stomachs of cows is mainly for the cellulose that we can't digest. Other than that, we don't do too bad. Of course, the fact that we're biological entities means inherently that our GI efficiency is pretty poor, but some things can't be helped.The typical guy [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] one to three teaspoons of material. We lose a heck of a lot more than that in nutrients by not re-digesting our own poo (as a large percentage of the animal kingdom does, since our inefficient methods of digestion mean that much of the good stuff we eat is literally wasted). I guess the lesson here is if you eat plenty of spinach, you can jerk off to your heart's content. So that's why Pop-Eye had such big forearms!
Why does it matter? Why are you getting so picky? Murder is also a sin. And so is thinking about it. Same way with masturbation.Before, while or after masturbating?
So your answer is "It doesn´t matter."?Why does it matter?
I have just asked a question.Why are you getting so picky?
Ok, let´s look at this dialogue:Murder is also a sin. And so is thinking about it. Same way with masturbation.
Is it a sin to murder?
If you sin, accept it as it is and repent. So if you murder, repent and ask for forgiveness.
I do not believe masturbation without visual (photos/mental or otherwise) are sin. But if you are using visual aids, then yes, it is wrong... but honestly, I think your heart is already telling you that.
I think this raises an interesting question.
If youre a christian, you think that believing in Jesus is a free one way ticket to heaven no matter what. What exactly is the point of not sinning then?
I am not in ffavour of dehumanisation, but i am not sure it necessarily happens. As for objectification, sexual selection has turned the female body into a sex object anyway, which "objectification" is necessary for the continuation of the species. So "objectification" has an evolutionary function, it's natural, and as far as I am concerned it is nothing to be ashamed of either.Yes, it dehumanizes and objectifies the women.
Yes, I don´t understand the entire "objectification" issue, either. We reduce persons to a certain function all the time in certain contexts, without any problems - well knowing that this is not all that there is to the person.I am not in ffavour of dehumanisation, but i am not sure it necessarily happens.
