Christians: Is it a sin to masturbate?

only with the lights out .

yes, but i have to look out the window every now and then cuz im not sure if its legal to masturbate in my country so that others, who are in public, see it.

I will probably catch heat over this but yes, masturbation is a sin since it is mental fornication.

what is a mental fornication?

what about say someone who grew up and never heard the word "sin" or such, are they still sinning?

are you a priest?

cheeers mate, bow down to 666, our lord

Is it a sin to hypothecate without guilt?
Is it a sin to procrastinate without guilt?
Is it a sin to provaricate without guilt?
Is it a sin to insinuate without guilt?

Is it a sin to adjudicate, delinate, hyperventilate

WITHOUT GUILT?

Sounds like a song.

I'm masturbating right now..

LMAO
Somebody pls kill this guy pls

The shame and fear from sex came from:

A time in which no one knew that microbes existed, since no one had a microscope.

So, how were they to explain why people got diseases and got sick, some dying in horribly gruesome ways?

The only thing that made sense was that God was punishing them.

This was supported by observations that those who had multiple sex partners [ie: the Sodom and Gomorrah viewpoint] had terrible sexual diseases that spread amongst them.

CLEARLY GOD HATES SEX!

Yet another observation; virgins who married and never had sex with anyone else were free from such sexual diseases.

CLEARLY GOD HATES SEX!

This is why some people are still mentally retarded about sex today.

I wonder why I was ever born into this world. [shakes head]

One thing for sure; when I leave upon my death, my vote is "NO" upon the people of this planet. I won't even explain to anyone what this vote will be about.

A man must dispose his sperm from time to time; that's nature. If sperm has built up, and if he doesn't get a wet dream, then he must masturbate because else he will suffer from sensitive balls and he may even have difficulties to walk.

And the pope ?
Lol

What if you are married traveling businessman, and you fantasize about your wife in a hotel room on a business trip?

Does anyone here like me have a sex in the past times?

just wank for peace . wanking all over the world . should be a international day of (to go of )
just drop your pants and go for it ;-)
we are al the same . no worrys

I don't know. But it is something I have been pondering about; how do religious men do it? Perhaps they masturbate from time to time or they wait for a wet dream . The last can obviously be torturous, waiting, waiting... and waiting while you have senstive balls.

Having "one off the wrist" is essential for the prostatic health of the human male, and is more for relief of pressure, than pleasure.

For women, a good handjob is just a lot of messy fun!

All we do has to glorify God.

This is really good. You should send a letter to the U.N.

I think there are worse evils to be concerned about!

Like how to make fish?

Its a sin under a system enforced by sinners.

Question: "Masturbation - is it a sin according to the Bible?"

Answer: The Bible never specifically mentions masturbation or states whether masturbation is a sin. There is no question, however, as to whether the actions that lead to masturbation are sinful. Masturbation is the end result of lustful thoughts, sexual stimulation, and/or pornographic images. It is these problems that need to be dealt with. If the sins of lust and pornography are forsaken and overcome - the problem of masturbation will become a non-issue.

The Bible tells us to avoid even the appearance of sexual immorality (Ephesians 5:3). I do not see how masturbating can pass that particular test. Sometimes a good test for whether something is a sin or not is whether you would be proud to tell others what you had just done. If it is something you would be embarrassed or ashamed about if others found out, it is very likely that it is a sin. Another good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use the particular activity for His own good purposes. I do not think masturbation qualifies as something we can be "proud" of or can genuinely thank God for.

The Bible teaches us, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). If there is room for doubt as to whether it pleases God, then it is best to give it up. There is definitely room for doubt in regards to masturbation. "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). I do not see how, according to the Bible, masturbation could be considered glorifying to God. Further, we need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. So, in light of these principles, I would definitely have to say that masturbation is a sin according to the Bible. I do not believe that masturbation is pleasing to God, avoids the appearance of immorality, or passes the test of God having ownership over our bodies.

Before the cream sits out too long.
You must whip it.

Whip it! But good!

but why G.O.D permitted Solomon have thousands of chicks
no wonder Solomon hate sabbath day

guilt is a fundamental tenant of organized religion. Without guilt, the whole power structure falls apart. In this case, you'll go blind too.
