I try and try to stop, but I always end up doing it again. I pray for help, I ask for forgiveness, but can I be saved if I don't stop?
Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme
1 Corinthians 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, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Holly I had the same problem as you. I overcame it by doing two things. Follow them carefully.
1. Trust that God will fight the battle for you and that over time you will stop doing it because of his mighty power. Do this in faith. Don't doubt.
2. Stop fearing that you will commit the sin. I faltered about twenty times before God finally delivered from this sin. Messing up doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong. God is just testing your faith. Let each failure make you stronger.

There is nothing wrong with masturbation, everyone does it. Do you really think that any god would be worried about what you are doing without hurting anyone when there are six billion other people on this planet doing exactly the same thing?
I wouldn't worry too much about what Paul said to the Corinthians. He had some serious problems with women and sex. If your god said that all sins were to be forgiven then Paul has no right to say otherwise - ignore him and enjoy yourself.

Sacrement of Reconcilliation: Ask for Forgivness to God through Priest, give an Act of Contrition (be sorry), and ask God to help u from doing again, & do penance (assigned by Priest to help you do better).
All sins except "Blasphamy agains the Holy Spirit" can be forgiven if you follow the sacrement.

for sure you need to understand that's misguided. the main important reason is as Paul says "deaden your physique contributors". Masturbation purely will strengthen a sexual urge for nutrition. no longer solid. Bible "that's greater helpful to marry than to grow to be contaminated with hobby". the situation is you're actually not sufficiently previous to marry. talk over with a depended on older male who ought to have had an identical situation. i've got raised sons, don't be too difficult on your self. in simple terms keep in mind, God created the 1st human pair to choose to strengthen the inhabitants "God suggested, it became solid."

First of all, this is not the forum to ask such a personal question, but on the other hand, more power to you!
Just be prepared for a bunch of conflicting answers.
ANY thing that is brought before Abba & confessed is forgiven. He sees your heart; your hunger for righteousness; your need for intimacy. The simple fact you are asking if He will...shows your heart is soft before Him.
Remember; there is NO condemnation...

Don't worry about getting to heaven or hell. the bible says we don't go to either. the Bible says, "Jehovah is ready to forgive." Pray to HIM through his son, Jesus, & his sacrifice he provided. It isn't the worst sin ever, the Bible doesn't even really mention it. Just that unclean people. it is someting unclean so try to refrain but at least you're not having sex before marriage. Pray to get to know the true God & ask for forgivenss & help.

Man, God sure sounds like a jerk, self absorbed, megalomaniac, who makes ridiculous rules that don't impact the goodness and well being of individuals.

according to your faith, if you ask for forgivenness and truly mean it, you will be forgiven.
God knows people are fallible and knows your heart.
If you can forgive yourself, then you will indeed be saved as you wish to be.

Wow, it must suck living a life when you think every action or anything pleasurable could send you to hell for all eternity.
I'm curious, why would you worship a god that would send you to hell TO SUFFER FOR ALL EXISTENCE just because you masturbate?
gwhiz: You can't commit adultery on yourself you f*cking idiot!
