problems with masturbation

[septemberskies]

I tihnk the sin of lust has to do with fantasing/etc. Finding someone attractive is not lust. Thinking that you want to get to know someone better because they are attractive is not lust.

Well I defintely do agree with you here. If thinking someone is attractive is a sin we should all go around wearing blindfolds.

I do wish you all the best with fighting your addiction (that is no joke!). Keep reading the scriptures to build yourself up.

I have come to offer this side of it... have you ever thought about whether this behaviour glorifies God?

Does sleeping glorify God?

I really hate that question because its silly. Not everything we do is ment to glorify God. Our lives are ment to glorify God, but not everything in our lives that we do can or does glorify God.

I'm in agreement that because of lust touching yourself is questionable. If it can be acomplished without lust there is nothing biblically against it. And if there is nothing biblically against it then it is not a sin. (God would not and does not hide rules from us.)

I don't know about that but I definitely get into sexual relationships I know I can quickly back out of. I used to be indifferent, now it bothers me.

Hey are you a pilot? What's up with the screen name?



Yeah lol am not a pilot but i wanna be hehe
and this whole talking about lust is boring me but since everyone is going on and on about it i agee with elad becuase in the bible i think it was in the old testiment some guy raped this girl in the field and it said he was driving by hes lustful desires

about as much as going to the toilet or emptying the cats litter... sure, it might not be terribly dignified... but its something thats gotta be done.
