Masturbation: Right or Wrong?

[xxmatt]

wow, interesting topic...
i never got the memo that it was bad..D:
meh, i'll just go to confession i truly feel guilty over it

Cruel Machine, im not saying im 100% disagreeing with you but i do want to look at the other aspect of it.

If you're a well-versed Christian, you no doubt know it's wrong.

considering no verses talk against protection/masturbation....i have yet to think its wrong.

It's making light of a god-like power bestowed upon us.

so is many other things people do on a daily basis....being able to live at all is a gift but we all abuse it to some extent.

After all, the first command given to humans was to "be fruitful, and multiply...",

back when there wasnt 6.4 billion people...there wouldnt be enough land to hold humans if condoms wernt invented.

And I don't he'd care much for warping it into a means of vanity and self-gratification.

why not, he gave us sugar...myswell eat it.

Pyro, right and wrong isn't common sense. Every culture defines it differently; we learn right from wrong by how we're raised.

On subject, I'm an atheist, so my opinion is clear. If masturbation were a sin, there'd be no more room in hell.

HAhA

This brings to my foremind the song "Every Sperm is Sacred" in Monty Python's Meaning of Life..

hahah. masturbation is fine.. in fact.. its better than sex... you can't be disatisfied

 

[Ins4n3 m0nk]

Masturbation is healthy. It is GOOD for you!

right and wrong...culture has made some things right that are wrong biblically (gay marriage). Im talking religious right and wrong, is there a sin that the Bible states that would not be considered common sense?

Lust-->adultery/cheating on wife
getting drunk--> loose control of body
killing someone
stealing
cursing

maybe it takes more then common sense, but if you think about any sins...i cant think of one that someone would mistake to be right.
(its not like every Christian starts there walk with God off by going through the Bible and writing down all the "rules")

On subject, I'm an atheist, so my opinion is clear.

i believe there to be two types of atheists....those who choose to ignore religion/ the possibility of God because they just dont want to take the time or give up some of the activities they take part in. The second would be a person who has thought things out and truly believes there is no God. which are you? (offtopic, pm me if you want...just interested)

If masturbation were a sin, there'd be no more room in hell.

depends on the concept of entrance into heaven...As a Christian even a person who has committed murder can enter heaven.

I feel it's wrong, but I do it anyways.

 

[shakaka]

For me its more a question of 'right or left' rather then 'right or wrong'

 

[Badger Milk]

Points to sig.

I jack off almost daily even though I have a girlfriend and commit acts daily with her as well lol. I dont know what it is, maybe the lack of effort I have to make or something. Although I have to admit, porn kinda makes me want someone different to my girlfriend... no I dont love my girlfriend, I dont care much for anyone really tbh.

Sorry if that was too much information.

Misspelt, it is spelt mastibation.

The Bible has contradictions, many things have been lost in translation, and many things have been edited (or outright removed) by kings of old. It'd be a mistake to live your life by the word alone.
The Bible also fails to explicitly deem the law of Moses to be expired. So are you saying that we should still be sacrificing animals and practicing all the "eye for an eye" laws that the Bible so clearly tells us to?

so is many other things people do on a daily basis....being able to live at all is a gift but we all abuse it to some extent.

That doesn't disprove anything. That only succeeds in proving many other things to be wrong.

back when there wasnt 6.4 billion people...there wouldnt be enough land to hold humans if condoms wernt invented.

Well... I believe it still applies.
Perhaps the second coming is to occur when the Earth is full and it's resources are empty.
Else we all die, thereby proving Christianity as a whole to be wrong... and putting an end to our worthless existence. lol

 

[pyro 214]

The Bible has contradictions, many things have been lost in translation

does every word matching matter? its the messages the words spell out that matter and every message intended to be given through it is still in there....prove me wrong.
show me some contradictions that do not involve possible spelling mistakes (considering it was translated by humans...a bad contradiction would be, it says 15004 horses here but 150004 here).

and many things have been edited (or outright removed) by kings of old. It'd be a mistake to live your life by the word alone.

any proof that these kings removed it? Considering the old sea scrolls were found recently and match what we have today....

The Bible also fails to explicitly deem the law of Moses to be expired. So are you saying that we should still be sacrificing animals and practicing all the "eye for an eye" laws that the Bible so clearly tells us to?

the old laws were nailed to the cross...
Jesus died on the cross so we would no longer need to sacrifice.
and correct me if im wrong, but the "eye for an eye" was given to the Israelites. If you still believe they havnt been removed, go to www.ChristianForums.com and ask...youll get a lengthy but well answered reply.

And show me the verse?
As I said, it doesn't explicitly expire these laws.

 

[kaetakara]

wow this is a wierd topic but i agree totally with sin666.



P.S. :: Christians should like keep there ittle preaches to themselves. If we wanted to be Christian we would've chosen to be Christian not something else.

Sin or not, Right or wrong. Everyone does it.
