Struggling with Masturbation

[Bluelion]

I heard a sermon by Joel Osteen a couple weeks ago and it was about trying to understand where others are coming from. He said that when you get to heaven, you will be surprised by who you will see there. You should keep that in mind.

did he say attack people while you try to understand them too. Fact is your actions speak loud than your words. let me start a post so you can attack me in there because this has destroyed this post, and it will have to be cleaned up.

any topic you would like to attack me on?

How about Jesus forgiveness and knowing him?

You were the one doing the attacking.
You are also the one that thinks you are always right and you said yourself, it is doubtful that I could be as well versed as you.

Fluff,fluff, are the arguments against masturbation. And if we want to stay biblical let's admit--God never created a blue lion. Even your avatar isn't biblical!

Good points, but I personally feel he is a typical hypocrite. He seems set in his ways and thinks he knows best and is not open to hearing other opinions.

It is my personal opinion that it is nothing people should feel bad about. They are going to do it pretty much no matter what, making them feel guilty and bad will not help them in life.

I could be wrong though.

If you leave it alone the problem won't be as big.

Dont think about it>

I am not quite sure what you are saying.

To me, it's simple.
If you guys don't like masturbation, don't do it. Although, I would bet that you do it or at least have done it a lot in your life.

already said we did ..lol
God set me free so i don't any more .i am not ashamed to say God set me free .

walk in the spirit and do not fulfill the evil desires of the flesh

because if you live to fulfill the evil desires of the flesh you will not walk in the spirit and flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God .

for in me , that is ,in my flesh , is no good thing .

and these things the lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life cannot be satisfied - serve them and they will consume you .

choose this day whom you will serve but as for me and my house - We will serve the LORD.

Obey the Good new of Jesus . turn away from you own ways -repent and follow him . for narrow is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it

Isn't that the truth, Amen.

As for me I struggle with many things. If you know what the thorn in Pauls side was I to have a thorn for the very same reason as Paul, but one day my suffering will be over. I have faith while i can not save my self God has saved me. God is faithful I know he will keep all his promises to me. I am not afraid to call a sin a sin, and admit i need forgiveness. Like Paul said if you can't control yourself get married lol. But marriage is such a blessing why ruin it, better to wait.

People always attack you when you tell them what they love to do is wrong.

I am closing this thread temporarily for review.

ETA, this thread will remain closed. The OP posted a request for help, support, and prayers. Instead this thread has been turned into a debate and the OP understandably has not returned. Further, there are several questionable posts with regard to the congregational forum restrictions: Do not teach or debate in any Congregational Forum unless you are truly a member and share its core beliefs and teachings. Questions and fellowship are allowed, proselytizing is not.
