should I question my christianity?

Question

First off, please only anwser if you do not oppose other religions, i am open to all religious view anwsers however if you simply oppose christian views then please do not anwser.

The main question is am I sinning

I used to have a big porno problem, i go over that and became a christian, then I started having wet dreams and waking up stuck to my bed.

Now I know it may be my fault for ever being involved with those thoughts, but I cant help wondering, I know as a christian its wrong to ejaculate outside of a woman, but as a human I know I had no real control over it. It was a dream, what was I supposed to do?

So the question is, am I sinning.

Also, please state your religion, just to make it more simple for me

Answer 1

No! You are not sinning if it happens during sleep.
Your sexual organs are manufacturing a fluid called semen. Some is gradually absorbed by your body. But from time to time, some will be released at night while you sleep. This is commonly called a wet dream. A better name for it, though, is nocturnal emission, since the emission often takes place on its own, with or without an accompanying erotic dream.

God so created males that, when they do not engage in sexual intercourse, they will from time to time spontaneously emit semen during sleep. This is normal non a sin.

I'm also a christian

Answer 2

I think that any person is obligated to question ANY belief he/she holds on a regular basis. That is the only way we grow. Any belief that can't stand up to some honest questioning isn't much of a belief, in my opinion.

As to your nocturnal emissions - Judaism would tell you that you are "unclean" after a nocturnal emission, but it's easily remedied with a trip to a mikvah, just as a woman must go a week after her menstrual period is over (it's not just for the ladies). If you're not Jewish, though, it's not required, and it's not sinful/unclean in any way.

I'm Jewish.

Shalom :-)

Answer 3

No, you are not sinning. Involuntary nocturnal emissions are a natural physiological process, and are not a moral issue. Pornography on the other hand is a voluntary choice against the virtue of purity, and is a moral issue. And what does this have to do with "questioning Christianity"??

Answer 4

If you are open to it, I would strongly suggest meeting with a priest or pastor. I'm pretty sure they would be open to talking with you, answering your questions, and trying to help you.
I'm Catholic, and had a problem with masturbation. I tried to stop on my own, but it just never worked. Then, I confessed my sin to a priest in the sacrement of confession. Since then, I have been chaste. I think it really helped me to say it out loud, and know that God was there to help me through it.

Answer 5

When it comes to faith, I've learned that it's best to use your common sense. In this case, you could ask yourself "can God punish me for something that I couldn't control?"

In Islam, we're held accountable for our actions, good or bad. For example, watching pornography is considered a sin. However, having wet dreams is a normal bodily function that's beyond one's control. Since cleanliness and purification are a part of our faith, Muslims are asked to take a bath after wet dreams.

Answer 6

"Should I question my christianity"

I think it is healthy to question your religion in order to continually seek knowledge and understanding that you are in the right place, for you. When one becomes complacent they do not tend to study and practice their religion with all their heart, in my opinion. I equate those questions to a religious aerobic workout. Work your brain. Question and study. This will keep your faith in your beliefs strong and deepen your understanding.

I don't think you have sinned but I am a practicing Buddhist and that forms my opinion on this issue. If you want to know if you are sinning according to your religion then I encourage you to seek guidance from clergy in that particular religion.

Answer 7

Thanks to God that you have gotten free from the porno...also God has forgiven you and removed your sin as far as the east is from the west...however, satan, wants you to remember and he is the one that will try to get you back into that lifestyle. satan is constantly roaming back and forth to see whom he can devour. Sinning is consciously going against God. Also, ejaculating is a bodily function. Don't beat yourself up and stay with God. satan will do whatever he can to have you question your salvation and God's forgiveness. Memorize the word of God and know that He is the same yesterday, today and FOREVER and through His grace we are saved and forgiven!

No religion...just a Bible believing Christian =)

Answer 8

You should question EVERYTHING...

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Buddha

Whether you are 'sinning' or not is a question you need to answer for yourself.

Answer 9

i think u should see ur priest, confess to him.. he'll know if u r a sinner or not.. i'm not sure about ur religion.. i think its too open . my religion is Islam. in my religion, if someone has this kinda problem, they should pray to God for his forgiveness and read Quran (our sacred book) cause it'll bring peace to our soul...and watching porn things is not allowed to do in our religion..
Anyway, good luck..!

It's a start. There is a conflict between normal biology and Christian restrictions.
