What does God think of masturbation?

Question

Aren't my sperm little babies? When I masturbate, am I commiting genocide? If Christians are going to outlaw stem cell research, why don't they outlaw masturbation? Or having periods for that matter? If the argument is that a zygote is a potential human at conception, aren't my sperm potential people by themselves? Also, God loves abortion. Women have miscarriages all the time. Or is it Satan that makes those happen?

Answer 1

christians have a tendancy to chose which rules they like and which ones they don't.

Answer 2

When spilling sperm is a sin, is if God let you know you are to get your wife pregnant, & you deliberately disobey God. Also if adultery or idolatry (imaginations) is involved.

A life hasn't started until sperm meets egg.

Miscarriages could be because there is something wrong with the baby (God could cause it). It could be because of the emotions of the mother (or personal trauma). Or is could be because Satan is causing the miscarriage. Or it could be word curses spoken by others. Or it could be because someone punched the mother in the stomach.

Also, God does not love abortion. God is creating a baby, & abortion cuts life short. In the case of giving birth to the butcherer is the consequence of a sinful nation (bible). It is a curse on a land.


mishmash has interesting verses. So you need to clean up according to God's rules after it happens, according to the old covenant. In new covenant, just shower.


Larrym, Jesus never said that.

Answer 3

Your sperm is not a potential baby. It takes the sperm and egg to make a baby. Before that,its just ejaculation. If you never cumm again that sperm will never form into a baby,neither would an egg discharged during a period. However,when egg and sperm meet,IF the FERTILIZED egg attaches itself on the uetrine wall,than and only then is there a baby. The egg MUST BE fertililized. Miscarraiges happen alot. This is not an induced abortion. It happens for different reasons not bc we walk into a clinic and stick a vaccum inside us and suck of the baby's lil limbs and collapse the skull. Its an accident.

Answer 4

EVEN if each sperm were a baby, you wouldn't be committing genocide by masturbating. Unless of course, you made each sperm into a real baby by uniting it to a woman's ovum.

Answer 5

Some religions forbid masturbation, Judaism considers masturbation a sin and the "spending" of sperm is forbidden.

Answer 7

Masturbation is not mentioned at all in the Bible. The practice was common in the Greek-speaking world during Bible times, and several Greek words were used to describe the practice. But not one of these words is used in the Bible.

Since masturbation is not directly condemned in the Bible, does this mean it is harmless? Absolutely not! Though it is not classed with such gross sins as fornication, masturbation is surely an unclean habit. (Ephesians 4:19) The principles of God’s Word thus indicate that you “benefit yourself” by strongly resisting this unclean habit.—Isaiah 48:17.

“Deaden, therefore, your body members,” urges the Bible, “as respects . . . sexual appetite.” (Colossians 3:5) “Sexual appetite” refers not to normal sexual feelings but to passion that is out of control. Such “sexual appetite” can thus lead to one’s indulging in gross acts, as described by Paul at Romans 1:26, 27.

But does not masturbation “deaden” these desires? No, on the contrary, as one youth confessed: “When you masturbate, you dwell mentally on wrong desires, and all that does is increase your appetite for them.” Often an immoral fantasy is used to increase the sexual pleasure. (Matthew 5:27, 28) Therefore, given the right circumstances, one could easily fall into immorality. This happened to one youth, who admits: “At one time, I felt that masturbation could relieve frustration without my getting involved with a female. Yet I developed an overpowering desire to do so.” He committed fornication. Not surprisingly, a nationwide study revealed that the majority of adolescents who masturbated were also committing fornication. They outnumbered those who were virgins by 50 percent!

Masturbation also instills certain attitudes that are mentally corrupting. (Compare 2 Corinthians 11:3.) When masturbating, a person is immersed in his or her own bodily sensations—totally self-centered. Sex becomes separated from love and is relegated to a reflex that releases tension. But God intended that sexual desires be satisfied in sexual relations—an expression of love between a man and his wife.—Proverbs 5:15-19.

A masturbator may also tend to view the opposite sex as mere sex objects—tools for sexual satisfaction. Wrong attitudes taught by masturbation thus defile one’s “spirit,” or dominant mental inclination. In some cases, the problems caused by masturbation persist even after marriage! For good reason, God’s Word urges: “Beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit.”—2 Corinthians 7:1.

Answer 8

its not a sin Sperm alone isnt a child..stem cell research is messing with already formed babies with souls.. Miscarriages are accidental when something is wrong..

Answer 9

or a better question, what does God think about DURING masturbation . . . hmmm?

Men create 10,000's of sperm every day, whether they're "released" or not, most just "die". That's alot of pre-emptive abortions.

Answer 10

Jesus said,"It is better to sow your seeds in the belly of a whore than on the ground." End Quote
You need to read the Bible and all those questions will become clear. You can read, can't you?

Answer 11

first off genocide is the killing off of and entire race of people, even if satan is the cause of all evil you have to ask your self "who created Satan?"
