spicypumpkin, i am assuming you agree that each person has a spirit since you are talking about spiritual cleansing and that masturbation is beautiful and good for the spirit.
each person does have a spirit.
however, masturbation is very often assosiated with sexual fantasies and lust for another man/woman(or several).
So ?
What's the matter with "
sexual fantasies " and "
lust " ?
Masturbation is a natural & normal aspect of human sexuality ( i.e self-exploration and sexual expression )
If your mind wanders during masturbation and lust starts to come( you start fantisizing about other people you wish you had), it is unhealthy.
Really ? Too funny ! :yelrotflmao:
According to who exactly ?
Same thing with lust. To indulge the lust is to give place to perverted thinking, fantasies that will never happen, and allow your mind to imagine adulterous thoughts.
C'mon...you HAVE to be kidding. Give me a break.
They're only " thoughts " and " fantasies " for crying out loud ! So long as they stay that way and don't manifest themselves into actions, they are of no harm to anyone.
So, within that context, you can have any sexual " thoughts " and " fantasies " you want.
It is very detrimental. It is a sin that will only give power to evil(satan). I am not sure if you think that adultery is wrong, but i know that it is definetly wrong. Jesus said that if a person operates in hate towards another person in their heart, then that person is as guilty as a murderer. He also said that it is the same thing with lusting. If a person will lust in his heart with another, then it is just as bad as committing adultery.
Now I get get ...you're a bible thumper.
Where does the Bible expressly say somewhere that masturbating is a sin ?
If you give in to perverted, adulterous, sick thoughts, and ACT on those lusts by fulfilling the desires of your flesh, it is feeding your spirit garbage.
Masturbation is not perverted, adulterous, or sick.
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
Catholic priests out there who lust after young boys - you listening ?
I have personally had a struggle accepting this myself because i was decieved by the lie that kept on saying "its not wrong...it feels so good. How can it be wrong?"
Earth to Proteinboy.........earth to Proteinboy.
It isn't wrong.
Masturbation is a natural & normal aspect of human sexuality
However, since i have found the truth and have acted upon it, there are huge benefits from controlling your thoughts and body, instead of them controlling you.
I find it amazing the continuing arrogance of
some Christians who claim to have some monopoly on " the truth ".
Unbelievable.
O.K...tell me Proteinboy........the curiosity is killing me.
As a devout Christian....... at what age did you stop masturbating ?
