Answer 1

CHRISTIAN’S VIEW OF MASTURBATION

It is general knowledge that today people of the world, including a large percentage of churchgoers, being “past all moral sense,” encourage and recommend the unnatural practice of masturbation. (Eph. 4:19) In striking contrast, true Christians seek to learn and follow what God’s Word the Bible says on matters of sex and morals. True, the words “masturbation” and “self-abuse” are not in the Bible. The Mosaic law speaks of “emission of semen,” but as Bible commentators point out, the reference is to involuntary nocturnal emissions, not self-induced ejaculations. (Lev. 15:16) However, there are Bible principles that adequately cover the subject of masturbation.

For example, Colossians 3:5, 6 says: “Deaden, therefore, your body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these things the wrath of God is coming.” As we have seen, masturbation is indeed a “hurtful desire.” It is also “uncleanness,” for it is an immoral practice, and this explains why the masturbator generally is ashamed of himself and hides his repugnant act from the sight of others.

The Christian apostle Paul’s counsel is right to the point: “God called us, not with allowance for uncleanness, but in connection with sanctification.” And again he writes: “Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in God’s fear.”—1 Thess. 4:7; 2 Cor. 7:1.

What about the “sexual appetite” of the masturbator? Is it ‘deadened’? Or does he constantly feed and enliven his sexual craving, yes, even to the point of “planning ahead for the desires of the flesh,” contrary to the Bible’s advice?—Rom. 13:14.

The scripture mentions that “covetousness, which is idolatry,” should also be ‘deadened.’ This would apply here, for the masturbator’s affection is diverted away from the Creator and is bestowed upon a coveted object, in this case his genitals, which take on undue importance. This practice then could border on idolatry, as in the ancient practice of phallic worship so hated by God. Instead of being devoted ‘whole-souled to Jehovah’ (Col. 3:23), the person can become a slave to his fleshly sexual impulses, desires and appetite and make these the object of his devotion. “Such men,” the apostle says, “are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own base passions,” “their appetites are their god.”—Rom. 16:18; Phil. 3:19, An American Translation.

“Autoerotism” literally means self-love or erotic love of oneself. It is another term that fittingly applies to masturbation, for the persistent practice causes a person’s thoughts to be turned inward so that he becomes self-centered and selfish, with problems in trying to relate himself to others. For this reason some psychologists have labeled self-gratifying masturbation as narcissism, after the Greek mythological god Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image, to his destruction. Did not the Bible warn that “men will be lovers of themselves” in these “last days”?—2 Tim. 3:1, 2.

1 Corinthians 6:19 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? --- Shall we disgrace/dishonor the temple of the Holy Spirit? Jesus tells us to marry in this situation. And our body are for the other, that way if you want it you can come and get it. And if I wan it I can come and get it. Thus neither we ever be in need of pleasure from the other. God is good and wants us to pleasure one another and that avoids temptations from evil too. bless you. Same for all, male and female. 1 Corinthians 7:4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 (in Context) 1 Corinthians 7 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations 1 Corinthians 7:34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

Answer 4

I Have been searching for this answer, then one day my classmate said to me that it is a sin :3

Answer 5

I masturbate to a video I made with my wife, when she is not here I look at it and lust for her, is that a sin

Answer 6

Masterbation is not mentioned in the bible. The "sin" is looking at someone/porn with lust and masterbating while imagining you're with that someone. If you can masterbate without outside stimulation (such as porn, someone you're attracted to ect.) then I believe it is Not a Sin.

Answer 7

Yes it is a sex sin. St. Matthew 5: 28 :But I say unto you, That whosover looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Don't you need to think of a girl or something to masterbate? and isn't masterbating fulfilling a lust? Yes it is. Oops on the bible thing lol. I found it.

Answer 8

I don't think masturbation is mentioned in the Bible. It is a sin to have lustful thoughts, though, unless they are about your spouse.

Answer 9

Jesus and his apostles masturbated daily in circle-jerk fashion. So, no, it is not a sin. If the Catholic priests would masturbate more often, maybe they would stay away from the little boys.

Answer 10
