Is Masturbation Really A Sin Before God? Read On And Find Out!

Introduction:

I'm sick and tired of hearing that masturbation is a sin! No where in God's word (Bible) it ever instructs that God commanded that man or woman shoudn't masturbate. God lays out a series of moral codes that He declares sin such as adultery, envy, theft, drunkness, fornications like (homosexuality, rape, beastility, pedophile, incest, prostitution and sexual conduct outside of marriage) haterd, bitterness, unforgivness, arrogance, foul language, slander, reviling others, deceit, kidnapping, greed, dishonoring parents, murder, sorcery, fighting, cowardness and rudeness, but never mentions masturbation.

The whole idea that masturbation is a sin, it's man's idea not God's. Everything I'm about to discuss, I'm going to back it up with God's word since I believe God's word is the final authority, not man!

God's Word Is What Matters, Not Your Opinion!

A pair of misinterpretation of scriptures that I'm about to share would shed light on why many Christians think masturbation is lust and sinful when the context clearly has nothing to do with masturbation at all per se.

A dude named Er who God killed because He was evil left his wife childless and Er's Father told his other son Onan to marry her and get her preagant. However, Onan refused and rather used the pull out method and ejaculated on the ground during sex lest He get Tamar preagant. Onan sin was of disobedience to a ancient custom of giving a brother who died childless a heir, not for masturbation as many wrongly interpret scripture.

Genesis 38:6-10:


Then Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord killed him. And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.” But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; therefore He killed him also.

Another misinterpret scripture is what Jesus said about adultery, not masturbation.

Matthew 5:27-28:

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Ladies and gentlemen for adultery to take place at least one party has to be married. Two single people can't commit adultery. What the Lord Jesus is teaching is that if a married man or woman is lusting (desiring) after another person that isn't their spouse they have committed adultery in their heart just for desiring someone else.

No longer the physical act of sleeping with another person is adultery per se. But to just be looking and be having the desire to be with them is adultery within your heart, because it shows your intent.

And also if you are desiring the wife of another man or the husband of another woman that is adultery even though you didn't physically sleep with them. One of the moral commandments is to not covet the wife of your neighbor.

So this isn't about masturbation per se what Christ is teaching. Granted masturbating and thinking about another person spouse is sin.

However, It's perfectly fine for two single people to desire one another. Its natural for a man to desire a woman and a woman to desire a man. That is not a sin.

It's Up To Your Own Conscience.

Like I said at the beginning God points out clear sins for us not do, but on grey issues where He is silent on a particular matter, God leaves it to our own individual conscience to wheather decide if a matter is right or wrong. I'm going to use the principle of Romans Chapter 14 to make a point.

In that Chapter the Holy Spirit speaking apostle Paul on issues regarding Jewish Christians and Gentile Roman Christians who were debating about foods to eat and not eat and Sabbath day or what day to esteem more important etc.

The apostle writes to them telling them that one must be fully convinced in his own mind to what they are doing is right to them.

He goes on to say in Romans 14:22-23:

Romans 14:22-23:


Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

In other words He is saying you must have a clear and good conscience regarding something you are doing. To doubt what you are doing something is right or wrong for you personally, wheather its eating certain foods or whatever is violating your moral law conscience, therefore is sin before God. God wants us to have a clear and good conscience before him and not be feeling guilty, like it says in 1 Peter chap.3

James 4:17:


Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Conclusion:

Is Masturbation Really A Sin Before God? Read On And Find Out!

God made us as sexual beings and to have desire for sexual pleasure and orgasm. That was God's idea and a gift for us to enjoy.

However, if masturbation is consuming your life all day and night then that's a problem; And you need to check that out because it isn't healthy. However, when you are feeling sexual and need a sexual release, masturbation can work fine to avoid sleeping around to those who are single and not married yet.😎

1 Corinthians 6:12:


All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

  • Well, they don't have a circle in Hell for wankers... now do they. And no, I'm not accepting lust.

  • I guess ill be seeing you all in the hell i dont belive exists, because i am atheist

  • no its reall not true... thats fucking bullshit

  • If god didn't want you to masturbate, he wouldn't have made it possible in the first place.

  • It's kind of interesting you bring up pedophilia in your list of things God is against because it's not mentioned in the Bible. As a matter of fact 10,000 BC people married and had children at ages we consider to be ebiliophilic today. Not to distract from your rant on Onanism of course, sorry about that, just thought it was really weird you brought up the term fornication which didn't actually exist until Paul made it up in Rome literally thousands of years after what you're citing.

    But I'm just passin' through, yeah? Masturbate away!

    • In ancient times boys and girls were married around 11 or 12 years of age. And fornication is a word porniea which includes prostitution and all kinds of illicit sexual contact outside of marriage.

    • Well, girls were often married to older men actually and males being married off for filial purposes (economics) was an occurrence as well but to be frank you know those countries that STILL practice child marriage that most of the world is up in arms about? That's not "new and perverted" that's actually really "old, outdated and disgusting". It's tradition. It happens in Israel too with Jews no less ( www.jpost.com/.../Finally-in-Israel-A-girl-is-a-girl-not-a-bride-333760 ) in the modern day. So yeah, there's a reason I brought it up, and it is because unfortunately Yahweh is totally fine with it.

      As for the history of the concepts of fornication a lot of them dealt with the Roman misdealings (it turns out they were into kids, like Israel, fucking beasts, prostitution, a few orgies and at the time homosexual relations between members of society for social purposes alongside other things) rather than a distinct look at...

      Let me stop. You were on about Onanism.

  • No its not

  • I'm not sure because even children masturbate and they don't have the strong sexual desires that many adults do, if any at all.

    However, I'm more confident it's a sin because it's an act of self pleasure.

  • It's debatable information.

  • You fail, simply because the dude doesn't even exist.

  • All this and I still don’t have a answer is master bathing a sin or not and I’m saying and i want men opinions on this since since with men masterbathing you enjaculate

  • The key thing here is to keep it private, and keep it discreet.
    It's about you getting relief, and nobody else's business

  • If we are not supposed to masturbate then why does it feel good to touch ourselves? Couldn't God have made it similar to tickling yourself, so that it doesn't really feel like anything when you do it to yourself?

    • People are foolish and just have a dirty conscience, so everything sexual to them is wrong. God made us as sexual beings and we have needs. Period.

  • I used to masturbate but stopped when a friend told me the reason I couldn't cum with guys was because masturbation had trained my mind and body only to respond to my own manual stimulation. I had always thought that the 3 guys i had been in a relationship were the problem because they were bad lovers or because one guy was so small but the problem was me. Now I've stopped masturbating and my current boyfriend makes everytime.

  • Mmm, Genesis 2:24-25
    For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
    Proverbs 5:18-20
    Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth. As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love. For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?
    1 Corinthians 7:3-5
    Let the husband fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again lest Satan tempt you because of your lack of self-control. (Cf. 1 Tim. 4:3)
    1 Corinthians 6:18
    Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.
    1 Corinthians 7:2
    But because of immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
    1 Thessalonians 4:3
    For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality.

    When you live in your fleshly desires, you are conforming to works of the Devil. He cannot act in the spirit. The Devil acts on your flesh because it is of the world. Not of the Holy Spirit of God. As long as continue to let your flesh act as the dominate force in your walk with God. You are conforming to the works of the Devil.

    This entire topic is a deception.

    Masturbation is a sin. Period. Do humans do it yes frequently..
    If you are a child of God, The Holy Ghost will put conviction into your Spirit and you will repent and ask for forgiveness. When the temptation comes cast it out verbally and call it out by name. In the Lord Jesus Christ I Pray and it will leave you.

    • You took all 3 scriptures out of context. 1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the sexual immoral man sins against his own body. : In context is talking about since we are one with Christ that we shouldn't sleep around thus if doing so we become one with another person thus sinning against our body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. : Again it's talking about its better to marry than to whore around and be sexual immoral. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality. : Again it's talking about the same thing as the other scriptures above. Please learn how to read in context and not just post one scripture. And what is a solider overseas on duty for a year away from his wife suppose to do? Never have a orgasm?

    • Galatians 5 16-24 enough said. You are clearly addicted to sinning against your own flesh..

    • Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. **Uncleaness isn't refering to having a dirty car or house, but rather beastility, prostitution, whoring around, rape and incest. Show me out of all the other sins it mentions above where it says masturbation? Please show me. You need to quit listening to what a pastor tells you without any proof of what He is teaching from God's word to back what He is teaching. I stick to God's word not man made ideas and doctrines and commandments of men like the lord Jesus said people be doing.

  • You mentioned wanting to have sex with a married women being adultery but between two single people it not being adultery what if one of them didn't know one was married for example the married person cheating but not disclosing that they were married

    • Its not his or her fault if they were lied too about the other person relationship status. But it's a sin anyways to be having sex outside of marriage in my religion.

    • but what if for example they didn't ask if they were married?

  • I always try not to do it but sometimes I can't help it

  • That's just looking for a loophole like how the Bible says man on man is a no no but girl on girl isn't explicitly stated.

    The spilling of a seed is referred to a man's self release of sex via himself. However since technically that doesn't apply to women one could argue it's not the same. Aka another loophole.

    Having sexual thoughts while doing the do byself is pretty selfish not to mention committing adultery with lustrous intentions.

    The devil's in the details!

  • The bible also says love thy neighbor... do you see that happening? The bible also says :who has not sinned, may he cast the 1st stone" the bible says a whole of things, and those who dont do it, put enough money in the penance pot and think God will turn the other cheek and they will think they are absolved from their sins.
