Christians only please!!!?

Question

I am a Christian (virgin still) , but, wondering if masterbating is wrong and dishonoring to God. Why or why not?

Answer 1

i see what you're saying, and i feel the same way a lot of times, i too am a Christian virgin. i will say that lust is wrong, as all these guys have.

however, Christ calls us to a relationship with Him, and to walk with Him daily. really, if we just live in His grace, thats all we need to do. if masturbating comes naturally when you're walking with Him and it seems like it's not tearing you from Him, go ahead. as paul says, "everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial... i will not be mastered by anything" (1 corinthians 6:12). pray about it, and make sure sexual desire isn't mastering you. paul also says in galatians 5 that it is for freedom that Christ set us free, and under the grace and will of God we don't have to live in fear of the law, because following the law doesn't make us Christians or perfect or whole or fulfilled - Christ does. so listen to Christ and the way He expresses Himself in all kind of different forms, and don't be tied to legalism and whether or not there's a black and white solution for everything. normally there's a lot of gray areas, and thats why Christ doesn't want us to follow the law, He wants us to walk with Him and be free in Him.

it also says in galatians 5 that one of the ways the Spirit of Christ expresses Himself in our lives is by developing self control within us. and what i've discovered is that a good way to develop self control is by disciplining yourself (with His help) to stop masturbating if it is controlling you and if it does makes you more free when you're not doing it. its also freeing, when the urge comes on, just to say "satan, i don't have to listen to you. Christ has set me free, now, so i don't have to listen to you anymore and i don't have to look to this kind of pleasure to fulfill me. get away, in the name of Jesus."

then just search your heart for His words, and don't be afraid to pray about it, a lot.

love in Christ, may He give you guidance to know what to do, and the grace to accept His love and forgiveness when you don't listen to Him, because nobody does perfectly.

Answer 2

Very touchy subject. Im a Christian and i do not know the answer to that either. But most people who masturbate look at pornography and stuff when they do that. and that is wrong ans sinful because you are lusting after someone. But i dont think masturbating in itself is a sin. Males have "wet dreams" thats not wrong. its just a natural process that God created to relieve pressure. If you feel Guilty about it then dont do it, do what you think God wants you to do. But if you dont seem to have an issue masturbating then dont worry about it. just dont have lust full thoughts or something while doing it. Everyone, guy and girl, grow up experiementing with their bodies and its natural.

Answer 3

Yes, masterbating is adultry. A sin, therefore dishonering God. The human body is the temple of the holy spirit if it has been baptized, therefore it deserves respect.

Answer 4

PRAY!
Yes, it is wrong. GOD made men to give to us as women. The WORD says, marriage is good and the bed undefiled. The bed is undefiled only in marriage.
I am not perfect and none on here is either. BUT how far will one go to please him or herself?
Masturbation is self gratification. I personally do not think it is right under GOD. Our sexual pleasures should only come from who GOD made for us to receive from. I hope you understand what I am saying.
I am trying to say it without being so blunt and am trying to be very respectful.

Answer 5

The holy spirit lives in your body. It's kind of like masturbating with your father present. He can help you with this. If self abuse is a correct handling of the term, then it is dealt with....

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.


Thanx for being truthful, it may well help others

Answer 6

That is between YOU and the LORD.
GOD gave us powerful drive's (eat, drink etc. so on so on)if you eat too much you get fat, if you drink to much it can hurt your stomache and wash out all of your vitamin's and mineral's and I am told that men could go blind?????????????
If it's not in the BIBLE, then it is between YOU and the LORD
And if you don't have the GIFT to remain single like PAUL, then GET MARRIED!!!!! (you will not really be WHOLE till you do, but you can still remain single and stay close to the LORD)
READ your BIBLE
Pray for your answers
And if you find anything out, let me know, I research alot of things.
p.s. your don't tell your sin's to other's, only your FAULT'S!!!!!!!

Answer 7

A messianic Jew is a Jew that believes that Jesus is the Messiah. Christians and Messianic Jews think that Jesus is the Messiah. They are Jews. The factor of view of the anti Messianice Jews is satisfactory summed up by way of Mark JPAS whilst he stated "it's applicable to combo a few measure of overseas non secular factors with Judaism. The one exception is Christianity, that is appeared to be incompatible with any sort of Jewishness. This is the double typical that's carried out to Christianity despite the fact that Jesus is regarded the Jewish Messiah in Christianity. Messianic Jews are checked out with even larger disdain. Why? its a canopy for there possess deviations from Judaism. Some Jews must keep a connection to Jewish household when you consider that they've deviated such a lot from conventional Judaism that many Orthodox query their Jewishness. They want discover a few approach to distract concentration when you consider that of there deviation from the Torah. This is completed by way of pointing their finger at others to direct concentration clear of their possess movements. You cannot supply your self a identify and assume that it makes you anything. This is the argument that has been used in opposition to Jews that come to a decision that Jesus is the Messiah. We are informed that the mere perception of another nature of God instantly invalidated a Jews Jewishness. At the identical time Jews that end up atheists, pantheists or give up training any detail in their faith we're informed are nonetheless Jews. They say that you'll think in something however Jesus. Jews name conversion "becoming a member of the tribe". Things that might by no means fly in Orthodox or for that subject Messianic Judaism will also be observed within the Reform and Reconstructionist hobbies. A well instance of this can be a earlier query requested right here. The man or woman asking worshiped the God Ferris however didn't think in him or the Jewish God. The consciousness of the query was once" ...might you PERSONALLY consider comfy welcoming me no longer simply as a fellow congregant at your Synagogue, however as a member of the Tribe?" (so he was once evidently asking approximately changing to Judaism). The reaction was once "Reform Judaism covers a broad swath of ideals and practices and I am definite you'll be fully permitted. ... I individually might receive you entire heartily as a fellow Jew." So a few Jews will receive a wide variety of deviations from the Torah however no longer perception in "Jesus". Let's no longer omit the Reform motion desired to difference the sabbath to Sunday to be extra like Christianity. Most Messianic Jews are Torah observant but you'll end up an atheist, give up training their religion, end up a Buddhist, become a member of a Unitarian Church and nonetheless be a Jew within the eyes of Reform/Reconstructionist Jews. Most Orthodox whilst requested approximately different Jews will say they do not know what non Orthodox Jews are. The identical applies to the opposite sects. Speaking of sects Jews will let you know there are not any sects however its no longer real. Rabbinical Jews comply with an expertise in their religion that was once centered a million,900 years in the past. They have their possess canon of Scripture. There also are non Rabbinical Jews such because the Ethiopian Jews that follows the sample of the Christian Old Testament and they've many extra books that they remember to be scripture. A institution referred to as the Karaites is the reverse of the Ethiopian and best think within the five Books of Moses. Rabbinical Jews name Karaites "a sect of Judaism". You can goggle it and spot for your self. Don't permit any individual let you know that there are not any sects in Judaism. They say the the lessons of Jesus are very distinct from Judaism. They additionally declare that Jesus taught not anything new from the rabbis earlier than him. Then they we let you know that there have been no rabbis till 100 years after the time of Jesus. Its all approximately profitable the argument to them no longer approximately what is real. The hindrance isn't variations however similarities. You will have to recognise ALL the writers of the Christian Bible had been Jews however one. Much of our Scriptures are shared. The giant majority of early believers in Jesus had been Jews. So whilst you listen the special reverse you must maintain that during brain. A Jew can think in Jesus and nonetheless be a Jew. Edit: those who make individual accusations will have to comprise hyperlinks or close up.

Answer 8

My instinct is to say it's wrong, but it might be a matter of personal choice, since it's just you involved. It could depend on what's going through your mind when you're doing it too. It's definitely something you should pray about and ask for a definitive answer. I will pray for you too. :)

Answer 9

Not Christian but I know many who are and think that masturbation is alright, it is between you and God and it IS your body... Why would it be wrong anyway? Unless your catholic, in which case it sitll doesn't make sense, because the only reason for the clitoris is for pleasure and sex isn't for pleasure its for babbies, for them at least...

Answer 10

This is a huge huge topic for all christians.

The bible does NOT directly address the issue.
But what the bible does address is that Lust is a sin, so if you cannot seperate Lust in your thoughts and the physical act of Masturbating, than it is somthing you want to stay away from, generally for girls it gets easier to stay away from it as time progresses

It is medically healthy for young men to masturbate
But the same rules apply as far as lust.
