Masturbation – A Demonic Practice And One of the Biggest and Most Common Sins The Church Rarely Addresses or Condemns

43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”(Mark 9:43-48).

I can’t believe I am making this post about this subject, but here I am making an anti-masturbation post for the Lord Jesus Christ. This has to be addressed because most Christians are in bondage to this sin and some Christians even think there is nothing wrong with it. I can understand people who don’t know Jesus Christ thinking there is nothing wrong with it, but there is something wrong when Christians believe it is okay or even defends it.

This is a serious sin that is rarely, if not ever, addressed in churches. If it is not addressed then it definitely is not condemned. Of all the times I have attended churches I have never heard a sermon about masturbation even when the topic was on sex which is odd considering most people in the congregation are involved in masturbation if the studies are accurate. Even church leaders are caught up in this perverse practice.

Let’s take a look at some studies I have come across:

From a survey of UK Christians:
75% of Christian men view porn at least monthly.
41% of Christian men admit to being addicted to pornography.
30% of church leaders view porn regularly
10% of Christian men have paid for sex.
90% of Christians believe the church does not adequately support those struggling with porn
The Way, UK, January 20, 2015

64% of American men view porn at least monthly, the percentage of Christian men is nearly the same.
79% of men ages 18-30 view porn at least monthly.
67% of men ages 31-49 view porn at least monthly.
55% of married men view porn at least monthly.
Digital Journal, August 14, 2014

68% of Christian men and 50% of pastors confessed to viewing porn weekly in a recent survey.
Christian News Wire, June 11, 2014

In his book “The Sexual Man”, Dr. Archibald Hart revealed the results of a survey of some 600 Christian men, on the topic of masturbation: 61% of married Christian men masturbate                                                                                      http://www.blazinggrace.org/porn-statistics/

August 7,2006: 50% of all Christian men and 20% of all Christian women are addicted to pornography. 60% of the women who answered the survey admitted to having significant struggles with lust; 40% admitted to being involved in sexual sin in the past year; and 20% of the church-going female participants struggle with looking at pornography on an ongoing basis. From the results of a ChristiaNet poll reported by Marketwire.com Source

34 percent of female readers of Today’s Christian Woman’s online newsletter admitted to intentionally accessing Internet porn in a recent poll. Source

If one is watching pornography, he or she is probably also masturbating as well. So, there is a pandemic of masturbators! The practice of masturbation is so ubiquitous one would probably think you were crazy if you said you didn’t masturbate, at least if you are a male past puberty. I believe this is part of the reason why the churches in the western world are so weak because they are so bondage to sexual sins.

People are masturbating so much that it is attributed to the growing cases of impotence or erectile dysfunction among men:

Italian urologists confirmed an erectile dysfunction-porn use connection via a large survey. When interviewed about the survey, urologist Carlo Foresta (head of the Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine and professor at the University of Padua) mentioned that 70 percent of the young men seeking clinical help for sexual performance problems admit to using Internet pornography habitually.

Another study:

AbstractTraditional factors that once explained men’s sexual difficulties appear insufficient to account for the sharp rise in erectile dysfunction, delayed ejaculation, decreased sexual satisfaction, and diminished libido during partnered sex in men under 40…This review also considers evidence that Internet pornography’s unique properties (limitless novelty, potential for easy escalation to more extreme material, video format, etc.) may be potent enough to condition sexual arousal to aspects of Internet pornography use that do not readily transition to real-life partners, such that sex with desired partners may not register as meeting expectations and arousal declines. Clinical reports suggest that terminating Internet pornography use is sometimes sufficient to reverse negative effects, underscoring the need for extensive investigation using methodologies that have subjects remove the variable of Internet pornography use…

The mainstream science establishment approves of masturbation as healthy, but most of the people in the establishment don’t know God. The Bible reads for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Cor. 3:19).

The truth is masturbation is a very self-centered act that contradicts the characteristics God wants people to have. God didn’t design men and women to have solo-sex. God created sex to be shared between a husband and his wife in the confinement of marriage which results in bearing the next generation. God also designed sex to facilitate pair-bonding and intimacy. When a man or woman orgasms it is accompanied by the release of pair-bonding
12391225_1695379037343765_2246734656049287585_n-copyhormones such as oxytocin and vasopressin or neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which increases the desire for your significant other. All of this is messed up when one indulges in masturbation. Who is one pair bonding with when one masturbates? Satan, the one who deceives the whole world (Rev. 12:9), wants to corrupt, pervert, and twist everything that God has made and its purpose, and he surely has done that in the realms of sexuality.

If you are a true Christian the Holy Spirit should convict you of masturbation. I remember when I was about 12 years old before I got saved I used to masturbate. Even then I felt awkward doing it. After I received Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit He convicted me of doing it. I felt like God was telling me something like “you belong to me now, stop masturbating.”

I was born in the 80s and I remember growing up as a child or teen there was a level of shame or embarrassment even talking about masturbation or about watching pornography. Today our culture is saturated with pornography and it seems millennials are absolutely fine with masturbation and pornography. I can only imagine the troubles that generation will face.

However, there is a growing movement on the internet, which is largely secular, which is about giving up pornography and masturbation. Many people in the movement reveal the negative effects of masturbating such as lethargy, brain fog, social anxiety, and depression. They attribute it to biochemistry and that may be the case to a degree but there is a spiritual component to it. When you practice sin you open yourself up to the enemy to oppress you or come inside your vessel.

A drawing from someone illustrating how he felt after masturbating

Masturbation is demonic? Really? Absolutely! Even now when I feel tempted sexually I would have demons physically touching my private parts during sleep paralysis trying to stimulate me. This would go on while other demons would hold me down. They know when I am feeling when weak and fighting the urge and that is when they strike. Dirty devils! I also had experiences where I am about to go to sleep and a spirit would hover over me and project lust into my thoughts. I would reject it and then it would move on. If it is not demonic then why are demons tempting me to masturbate?

Here we have Derek Prince reveal how he expelled a demon of masturbation from someone:

If masturbation wasn’t demonic there would be no deliverance of demons of masturbation.

There are testimonies from people, such as Philip Mantofa, who have claimed to have visited hell, and one of the sins that brought a person there was masturbation. Is his testimony credible? It’s up to you to decide.

I have heard some people say “masturbation is not in the Bible therefore it must be okay.” Although masturbation is not specifically mentioned in the Bible, it surely is a sin in God’s eyes as there are scriptures that easily applies to it. Let’s read some scriptures that would forbid a follower of Jesus to engage in it:

Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?”

Are you a slave to your lusts? Can you really quit masturbation if you tried?

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

You don’t have self-control if you are unable to quit masturbation.

1 John 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

I seriously doubt Jesus practiced masturbation.

2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

Can you really accomplish this when you are masturbating and fantasizing about someone?

Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”                               

Aren’t you feeding your flesh and fulfilling its lusts when you give in to masturbation?

Colossians 3:5-6 “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection [lust], evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:”

Have you really moritified your members when you are practicing masturbation?

Colossians 3:17And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

You have to be seriously lost if you think can masturbate in the name of the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:2-5 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;”

Amen. Are you really possessing your vessel in sanctification and honor and not in the passion of lust when you masturbate?

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Let’s be honest, no one is thinking anything pure while masturbating. One is probably fantasizing about a porn star, that attractive person from the gym, or the hero of a romance novel.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”  

I can totally identify with the Corinthians 6:19-20 scripture. I unmistakably felt the Holy Spirit telling me what the scripture reads when He convicted me of masturbation.

tug-o-war_spiritual-copy.jpgIf you are a masturbator you need to STOP IT! Fight this sin tooth and nail. It’s easier to fall into this sin because it is easily available to indulge in it, and it is free, unlike something 11249030_992408707469586_3208234582797576085_nlike drugs.

Cut out all the things that feeds the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes that will tempt you to masturbate. Stop actively and willfully looking at other people in a lustful way (read Matthew 5:28) and avoid looking at their certain body parts you know will feed lustful thoughts. Go on a fast to weaken the flesh for several days. Most importantly stay in the word and prayer. Cry out to God 13592818_1711752885758942_2250055451677205457_n.jpgand He can surely help you break this bondage. Remember, God will not have you be tempted beyond what you can handle (1 Cor. 10:13). Most of the struggle starts within the mind. Cut out all lustful thoughts in the bud before it grows and leads to sin. Rebuke those thoughts in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior I would invite you to know Him. He loves you and wants to save you from your sins. Jesus Christ, who is God in the flesh, said if anyone comes to Him He will not cast out. Call upon Him in repentance and ask Him to come into your heart and for Him to be your Lord and Savior.


Update: I have received a lot more confirmation that the practice of masturbation really does opens people up to demonization. Several men and women who have contacted me for deliverance prayer told me they used to masturbate daily or almost daily for many years. From what I can ascertain, they opened the doors to the demons via their masturbation addiction. One man told me he actually felt something other-wordly enter his body while he was watching pornography. He felt tormented and sick since then. Again, fight this sin tooth and nail.

If you need prayer, then feel free to reach out to me.


If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can receive Him into your heart, and He can deliver you from darkness and sin and have your name written in His Book of Life.

If you are sincere, you can say this simple prayer to the Father (it doesn’t have to be word for word):

“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. Please forgive me of all of my sins just as I forgive others. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross, I believe in my heart Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in the Lord and GOD Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”

      Yes this opens the doors. I know someone that had to get a deliverance from it. However there’s something going on in society that is far worse. The way the women dress today is evil. They are wearing these leggings and yoga pants that show everything down there causing men to lust , which is a sin. It causes married men (other peoples husbands) to lust. and even tempt them to commit adultery. It’s all the work of the devil. It temps men sexually and it most likely causes men to masturbate. All of these things are sinful and open the door the demons. But the women walk down the street like it’s their right. It’s worse than the prostitutes dressed a few years ago. It is disgusting and shameful and it’s causing men to sin. I have talked to many men about it and most men don’t like it. The women think they look sexy but they look very cheap and they’re playing right into Satan’s game.

    1. To “Anonymous”: Thanks greatly for reading. Who…WHO mis-taught you that having left-handed dexterity…automatically was caused by any “demons”?…which “cursed” you somehow? Which denomination, independent church, para-church charity (so-called “ministry”)…or primitive witch-doctor…”convinced” good person like you?—here in 21st Century? Born-again, saved disciples, whose LEFT-handed-dexterities, G*D’s HOLY SPIRIT guides…hour-after-hr., day-after-day…must number in TENS of millions! How can I be so certain?

      Am a full-time portraitist, modern-artist, graphic- & logo-designer, landscape artist (esp. of antique/classic/high-performance cars & trucks, old-gas-stations, & country-stores)—and I LOVE designing characters in MGM/Warner Bros./Disney-style cartooning of 1939-’55. Have doodled ever since age two, with my then-fascination over oil companies’ outdoor signs, outside of country-stores. (Which s-t-i-l-l dotted rural hwys. before O.P.E.C. crude-oil embargo of 1973-’74.) First dabbled into both cartooning & hand-lettered “typeface-fonts” by age five (kindergarten); antique vehicle-sketching followed by ages nine/ten (Fourth Grade). Also enjoy dabbling in music each week, since I’ve played-by-ear since at least kindergarten. In ALL of these…why, I’ve used m-y left hand.

      Therefore–WHY would the SUPREME CAUSE (of physical universe)…have accepted, adopted this “leftie” as one of HIS millions of servants? When this fourteen-yr.-old read that G*D will admit NO-body into Heaven “well, ‘cuz I’ve lived a clean life, I guess”…or “since I wuz born hyar in ‘Merricka, I m-u-s-t be a Ckrriss-chun”…should CHRIST JESUS have rejected my pleas for HIS mercy? Simply for being a “leftie”? When I repented of my in-born, human frailties, & surrendered my own life, my future, to CHRIST JESUS—then repeated this step twice more (as grateful, yet uncertain, “baby” Christian)—HIS wonderful, HOLY SPIRIT never a-p-p-e-a-r-e-d to admonish or convict me in so many words:

      “Michael, your left-handedness is an Adamic curse. And/or generational curse. Therefore: you MUST practice the use of your r-i-g-h-t hand. I w-i-l-l help train you. However–even in your Visual Arts classes, here at A.S.F.A.: Either you sculpt with your right-hand o-n-l-y, sketch with right hand only, write this way o-n-l-y…& even dial your dorm-hall’s pay-telephone with right hand ONLY—or else say “Bye-‘bye!” to MY companionship. A-n-d to your salvation! Expect ME to l-e-a-v-e your filthy ‘temple’…forever…even if you repent & re-dedicate yourself l-a-t-e-r….”

      At least…never that I could hear. And HE has certainly NE-ver said this (or any other) message to me…in precious, “King James” suffixes & pronouns…!

      Fellow-sister, or brother, in CHRIST JESUS: You are s-t-i-l-l G*D’s adopted-child. If CHRIST JESUS had been able to save (and then to use–beautifully!), say, quadraplegic Joni Erickson Tada (visual artist herself, foundress of Wheelchairs for the World Int’l….& shining disciple, if any such ever existed)—then I k-n-o-w that G*D l-o-v-e-s & can use YOU, to boot!

      With everything inside me, I’m striving to a-v-o-i-d giving you that which I call “lay-person’s advice.” But still: Urge you to do a little h-i-s-t-o-r-i-c-a-l research…to r-e-a-d about just w-h-e-r-e & w-h-e-n this deaf, blind superstition b-e-g-a-n to first “d***n” left-handed persons. How MANY once-common notions about causes-&-effects, even embraced by professing-Christians in the past (and by few billion of today’s Third World peoples)…are NO-where inside our Scriptures; had actually n-e-v-e-r been inscribed into other world religions’ holy books! (As to why our SAVIOR reportedly said “r-i-g-h-t eye” & “r-i-g-h-t hand,” in St. Matthew, ch. 4: vs. 29-30—I’m no expert on ancient, Hebrew, cultural non-essentials of faith & obedience. How I WISH that HE never included that o-n-e adjective!)

      Finally: You n-e-v-e-r stated whether you even a-r-e a genuinely born-again, Christian disciple…or not. You never revealed your standing with a sinless, b-l-i-n-d-i-n-g-l-y perfect CREATOR. Why not? We shall, e-a-c-h of us, have to stand before that Highest INTELLIGENCE…and account for o-u-r “smarts”; either at Christians’ Judgement Seat (for rewards; Revelation 20: 4-6?)–or at CHRIST JESUS’ “Great, White Throne” of Rev. 20: 11-15. For m-y part: N-e-v-e-r do I want to return to my “goody-two-shoes” self-righteousness of childhood. (Right through age fourteen? Strangely, yes!) Or to my lack of g-e-n-u-i-n-e satisfaction & fulfillment, as G*D ALONE can give us. HOSANNAHS to HIS Name!

        Masterbation is a curse. Takes your energy and motivation away if you do to much of it. Its very addictive so I recommend refraining from masterbation. For bipolar and depressed people if you are doing this multiple times on a daily basis your energy will go. No motivation. The medical field will label you as depressed or bipolar and get you addicted to zome of tbe worst addictive medications. The medical field as well as the psychiatric field knows that if people stop masterbating we would have a peaceful world with sanity being restored. Mastsrbation is ungodly and addictive. They say its good for prostrate cancer. Do some research on sex between husband and wife. Now there are many benefits from this action. Abstinance is another choice , people who are abstinace are always in a good mood and have lots of energy. Masterbation may be demonic im not sure but it is lustful and it trys to destroy you mentally, physically and spiritually. Praying and fasting will get this monkey off your back so we can have a better world. You have to really make up your mind you quit.

    Masturbation is not in the Bible, so its ok.

    And none of the quoted Bible-passages forbids masturbation. Also you are using dirty shaming tactics to force people into following your personal distorted view of the Bible.

    Claiming the Jesus has never masturbated is just ridiculous. Of course he had. Men are created that way by god.

      Wazzup you are wrong. First of all he is not blaming or shaming anyone, but he is speaking the truth even though it isn’t popular in this world, which is shown by your comment. The scriptures he chose directly relate to masterbation. When you masterbate do you lust? Jesus said to lust is to sin in your heart. Also you are pleasing yourself and it is addictive. You are justifying it so that you can continue to do it without getting convicted. Neither me nor Jamaal is out to put a guilt trip on you or to condemn you, but to bring conviction and change. Sin leads to death no matter how innocent it seems.

      If Yah intended for man to be alone (to “mate” with himself) He would not have made Adam in HIS image, which includes the female, saying it is NOT GOOD that the man should be ALONE. But, many ancients did, why do so many people after self-abuse so find it difficult to feel the energy/vibe of the opposite sex after a while, and so can find it much easier just to be alone feeling their OWN male or female energy? “In the last days men will be lovers of themselves rather than lovers of Yah” 2 Tim 3:2

    3. JESUS never sinned; to even think on sexuality is an act of sin. If Christ sinned he would not have been the Christ, God in the flesh. Of course, it stands to reason that you would HAVE to be God NOT to think of sex. He had such power and was loved by so many, these would make Jesus attractive to any number of women. If the Messiah contemplated performing sex acts He not only would be guilty self-pleasuring, He would have proved Himself to not have been God. He either was 100% God and 100% holy or He was a fake. Any man or woman who follows Jesus as Lord comes to believe in His Lordship. Without knowing Christ we are susceptible to all lies– including an ability to allow self any perversity and all forms of sexuality. Falling for lies we never can feel clean, never know the Lord, never feel the great, great joy of living for Him.

      Masterbation is in the bible. God told someone in the old testament to have sex with his brothers wife so she wont be barren ut he did not want to do what God said
      So he masterbated instead. Im not sure but i think God killed him for that. Masterbation is in the bible and it was used for disobedience against God.

        You are referring to Onan. Onan was to impregnate his wife, who was his brother’s widow. But, Onan knew that any resulting child would be considered as his brother’s and would receive the brother’s inheritance. Onan did not want that to happen. So, he did not want any offspring. And, so when he had sex with his wife, his brother’s widow, he pulled out at the last minute before his orgasm so that his seed, his semen, spilled out onto the ground instead. GOD struck him dead mainly because he denied the woman a child. Childlessness for women in that day was considered the same as being cursed. He was bringing disgrace and shame and a sense of being accursed upon his wife. This heartless and selfish act on Obama’s part absolutely displeased GOD. Which is why HE killed Onan. So Onan didn’t masturbate. But, rather he used his wife as a sex object in a sense. And, his seed did end up going to waste, making it a “sacrifice to Satan” in that way. Nevertheless, masturbation is still a grave and damning sin.

        The Bible doesn’t address masturbation?
        Genesis 2
        And the Lord God said, It is NOT GOOD that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him….but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
        And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
        And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
        Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
        And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. (Do people not feel ashamed after masturbating?)

        Matthew 19 Jesus answered, “HAVE YOU NOT READ that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? (Not cleave unto himself, which is what masturbation feeds)

        2 Timothy 3 But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For MEN WILL BE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES..
        1 Timothy 4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; FORBIDDING TO MARRY.

      What? God condemns sexual immorality. He has never split hairs on the matter. You are, apparently, to justify sin. That being said, saying, “Masturbation is not in the Bible, so its ok,” is like saying, “I know the LORD condemns murder, but He never specifically said to not throw people off of cliffs, so that’s ok.” That kind of convoluted reasoning is the same thing that got us all into this mess, when a certain serpent said to the woman in the Garden of Eden: “Surely, you will not die…”

      If you think this selfish act is OK, you are either an infant in the Faith, or not in the Faith, at all. There is no Christian (and no, Catholics are NOT Christians) walking this earth with the indwelling of the Spirit that will say to you, “Masturbation is not a sin.”

    Lustful thoughts are offensive to God but it is possible to masturbate without them. God built us with hormones so we must let that flow. Give it to Him, as the fat of your life. But do not steal from another in the process, I. e. Don’t have fantasies or watch porn. It’s wonderful actually, to be free of the world’s brainwashing.

      You need to renounce what you’re doing, and find a mate..wife or concubine (girlfriend). You don’t need fake images of people doing things on a camera, as you, a man full of life and intelligence just sits there a watches them…what kind of weird foolishness is that. You are supposed to be a director and participant in this joy called life, which includes sex! Praise Yah! So you don’t need that…and beware where there are certain kinds of porn, like gay porn, there are unclean entities who feed off this, so leave it & that hold will leave you. See through the con, as you ARE being tricked & seduced into the Evil One’s thoughts..as he’s the one who HATES men & women coming together.. remember he HATES Yah’s image…men & women coming together sexually is our reflecting the beauty of Yah’s image, as His first command to us was to INCREASE & MULTIPLY, REPLENISH THE EARTH, & SUBDUE IT! How can you do that if you’re just sitting at a plastic folder (computer) watching two men insult Yah’s image & yours? DROP IT! & RUUUN to a woman! Proverbs 6:5 “Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.”

        you make it sound so easy to find a girl. since my dating life is nothing, its bound to happen. so i dont become one with the coodies any girl has (on a porn site) i look for a spirit filled porn star. They cant be attacked by my coodies, and vice versa. good/god is buttered and oiled in between. and if i cant find one on a day, ill just brace my self for intercesion for the chick on the screen, see crist in her, so im jacking it to/with the holy spirit and not what she has, crazy intercession really. i honestly wonder what god does on those days for them.

        This isn’t Holy either. God said “But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.” 1 Corinthians 7:8-9. From what I’ve known is “concubinage is committed by a husband and should be charged together with the other woman or concubine. … The case can be passed off as concubinage if cohabitation happens in the conjugal dwelling or in any other place” I copied that from a site bc it’s what I’ve known. However the Roman law said, concubinage was the permanent cohabitation of a man and a woman outside of their existing formal marriages. The partners in such relationships and the offspring of their union did not have the same legal rights accorded married persons and their legitimate children.
        We need to abstain from all sex and lust until marriage, legal marriage that’s ordained by God.

      Seruwu Jonathan,

      I Love you, because God Loves you. You need to learn to Love yourself like we Love you. If you Love yourself enough, you will eventually see yourself in others and Love them too, enough to no longer objectify them through porn.

      God bless you. Your problem isn’t gayness, nor is your problem masturbation. It’s that people who should have Loved you in your past hurt you instead, and your ability to Love yourself truly and unconditionally was destroyed. You need to get that back.

      You may even have suffered bigotry for homosexual leanings. Stop worrying about it. I promise you, Love is never wrong. Don’t worry about the homosexual thing – just focus on Loving yourself and God and He will heal you of anything and everything He thinks is wrong with you.

      Love is God. It is the only ladder for climbing out of a moral pit. And it starts in your case with Loving yourself unconditionally because God does.

    Masturbation is of the devil. It is a selfish act & based on lust. There is NO love in it. God is Love, and if you masturbate, you are not led by God when you are doing it but rather you are led & deceived by the devil. The devil always promises more upfront & gives thorns in the end. God promises His blessings to those who walk with Him and will give them grace upon grace in this life & paradise (which is heaven with God). Now that’s paradise!!!

        4. Charles Kraft: “I Give You Authority”. This is the basis for a type of spiritual warfare that is not outwardly dramatic, like we see so often on YouTube videos.
        5. Seek out those ministers/ministering teams who are active and effective in spiritual warfare. Sessions/prayer can often be done by phone or internet.

        Freedom from oppression is attainable.
        Staying free is doable.

    1. What do your questions have to do with this blog post?

      The model for marriage is Adam and Eve – one husband and one wife. That is the ideal model for marriage.

      Under the New Covenant, it is emphasized there should be husband for one wife. 1 Timothy 3:2, 12 and Titus 1:6 give “the husband of one wife” in a list of qualifications for church leadership. Ephesians 5:22-33 also refers implies there should be one husband for one wife.

      Under the Old Covenant God may allowed men to have multiple wives because women tend to outnumber men in many cultures and perhaps more so in the ancient world because of constant warfare. How is a society going to replenish its population when the male population have been decimated by war? Moreover the ancient world was extremely patriarchal. The husband provided with welfare and protection for their wives. In an extremely patriarchal society it’s not easy for women to fend and provide for themselves.

      Having children was an extreme asset in those days (especially in an agrarian society) because having children meant more help to work the field or what not. How would that be possible if your wife is barren? The mechanism of polygamy may have been allowed to ensure survival.

      But again, ideally God wanted one husband to be with one wife. Jesus reaffirms this when He said “7‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.” – Mark 10:7.

        We can become one flesh with one person AT A TIME..I can become one flesh with Susan on Monday and Yoshi on Tuesday…ideally. This didn’t have to do with agrarian societies, but with Yah’s command to increase and MULTIPLY. Yah “allowed”??? Where was this EVER said? Sounds like rabbinical sophistry. I do actually read where it is written that Yah BLESSED Dawud with many wives, but not “allowed” it..He actually said that HE GAVE them to Dawud: 2 Sam 12. Did He also “allow” Himself to marry twins in Ez 23 under His own “times of ignorance,” where he “winked at sin”? Are we not ALL married to Christ? How many are we? Solomon was clearly not condemned by Yah for having many wives, but for marrying many FOREIGN wives, of nations he was warned NOT to form alliances with: Neh 13:26-27 says he was LOVED by Yah but for this one matter…why didn’t it condemn the many women itself..by no means does it do so! and specifically says because he loved many FOREIGN WOMEN.

      The answer to your question of why the holy men of the Bible had multiple women was because they liked lots of WOMEN!!! Which is not a sin, but is blessed by Yah. He told us to increase and MULTIPLY, not ADD. Jewish law and natural law accept it..so does American culture, which is 2 faced, as we claim monogamy, yet NO ONE IS MONOGAMOUS..starting with the dating and boyfriend/girlfriend culture..how is this feeding a monogamous mind? Anyone who speaks against this is denying reality. Also did not Yah himself in Ez 23 marry 2 twins? Yah has good taste in choosing, I see; who wouldn’t want twins! Also, one of the things on the table during the Reformation was the blessed state of a polygnous relationship, which was considered the remedy against things we see destroying us like pornography–maybe he likes looking at more than one girl..good let him GET HIS OWN GIRLS to look at, enjoy, and dance for him (as Solomon says). Masturbation, self-explanatory..let her feminine self do it for you as a refreshment..not yourself. Homosexuality, lack of fathers, prostitution (every woman has a head) etc. all remedied & avoided by polygnous patriarchal households and relationships.

        John, I am supremely confident that if you can truly love multiple women, which includes caring for their jealousies that you might provoke, while also allowing them to love other men besides yourself, since Love is egalitarian, that there would be nothing wrong with it in all the world.

        But I don’t think 1 person in 100 is capable of that at this stage of mankind’s spiritual development. We are very jealous when it comes to romantic partners, and we have many good reasons to be pertaining to children, resource distribution, and disease.

          I know many polygnous couples, & jealousy is not something to worry about. Talk on polygnous groups like Hondo Solomon on utube & facebook; and Outstanding Personal Relationships.

          Women are sharing their men and have been since time immemorial, though it’s open and unabashed now…the only women who would oblige your fear of this, are the ones who, since you say such things, believe you’re not worthy of several women, since you don’t understand their nature.
          Wanna know their nature? Remember as a boy how the women used to say, “He’s such a handsome young man, he’ll get ALL the girls!” Do women look at a man and say, “Wow, he looks like only ONE woman would want him, guess I’m it!” or “What woman would want him??? Meeee!, cause looks like nobody else would!”…or do they go after the “LADIES man”?

            It was permitted in the old testament because it was a culturally accepted thing, but it is not the ideal relationships that glorifies God. God teaches exclusivity in marriage between a man and a woman because ideally it teaches us loyalty, faithfulness, commitment and trust. All the characteristics of having a love relationship with Christ.

      That’s a very good question. I’ve wondered about that myself. I don’t know for sure the reason. But, notice the similarities between the people you’ve mention that had concubines and multiple wives. They were all kings and patriarchs. None of them were run-of-the-mill, common citizens as you and I. It may be GOD allowed such because of their positions. For GOD is never seen, in the Scriptures, as rebuking the likes of king David or Solomon. In fact, after David committed adultery with Bathsheba, the prophet Nathan confronted David for his sin and did tell him that GOD has given him many things, wives, position, etc. And if he needed more all he had to do was ask of GOD for more. Instead he stole the wife of Uriah. Point is, GOD acknowledged in a positive way, David’s many wives and concubines. So, again, it was a special provision only for kings and those two patriarchs Abraham and Jacob. Nowhere in the Holy Bible is this thing allowed for the general population.

        Hi Gordon, you said about multiple wives “Nowhere in the Holy Bible is this thing allowed for the general population. ” this is incorrect. Having multiple wives is ok for any man. God instructed the common man… not just kings and patriarchs:

        Deuteronomy “21:15 If a man has two wives, the one loved, and the other hated; and they have borne him sons, both the loved one and the hated one; and if the firstborn son was of her who was hated.”

        God was ok with polygyny, and again this instruction was for the common man:

        Leviticus “18:17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; you shall not undertake to uncover her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter; they are her relatives; it is wickedness. 18:18 And you shall not take a wife with her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her lifetime.”

    Life is beautiful without the destruction of masterbation and porn. And yes, we have to acknowledge that masterbation and watching porn is demonic. Porn gravely injures he/she who participates in it from top to bottom. I think we really need to understand the deep reality that sin has and the destruction and scars that sin leaves on our souls either temporarily or permanently. And we need to understand that now!

    But there is a flip side to this reality being the power forgiveness obtain for us brought on by the death on Jesus on the cross. And thus repentance can make us whole again and give us a fresh new start.

    We should love our Lord and our God with all our heart, mind and strength. We should not seek to hurt the one who created us. We should only seek to please him! After all, he created us to love him! Recall that our God is a jealous God! And after all, he has us carved on the palm of his hand. (Thus, He thinks of us constantly) He knows how many hairs are on our head. He knows every detail about us. He knows every thought and every desire. And what can be more pleasing to him than to turn away from this sin and all sin! Oh how God must delight when we turn away from sin and turn toward him!

    And what can be more upsetting to the devil as to constantly turn to God!

  15. Because of its divine institution for the propagation of man, the seed is not to be vainly ejaculated, nor is it to be damaged, nor is it to be wasted and there are scriptures directly related to this statement in both the old and new testaments. Genesis 38:9, Deuteronomy 23:10

    i do NOT agree with this article in totality. The Word of God needs no worldly statistics to support its truth. So all the statements of what the world says has nothing to do with what God has declared. He is God all by Himself and His truth is NOT defined nor approved by world statistics.

    There is “No Condemnation to this in Christ Jesus” also while the writer of this article may not masturbate any longer i’m sure their is some other vices in his or her life that is classified as sin; no one in the earth is free of sin except if You are in Christ then You are free of sin 1John 1:9-10.

    Also, Jesus did in fact experience every sin and vice man would ever encounter while living in the earth and world at large. Matthew 4:1, Hebrews 2:16-17, and 4:15. Jesus has to experience masturbation and all the nature of this sin in order to understand and sympathize with us as His sisters and brothers. He was tempted in every aspect of His life just as we are now in this earth and world.

    The Lord lives us so much He himself has made reference to this behavior and provided a solution through his servant Paul; because it is God’s desire that none should perish.

    In 1 Corinthians 7:9 Paul instructs if you cannot control or contain the passion or fires of lust in your soul ten it is better for you to marry than to burn.

    So masturbation is wrong and laying your eyes upon evil acts of pornography is wrong but masturbation is a sin and no sin is greater than another sin and we all sin but we have an advocate and until we are perfected in Christ upon His return we will need the Holy Spirit and Jesus our Advocate to defend us against the reproach of the enemy within of our souls and the enemy without who is seeking to devour us because of our existence in Christ!! Go in Peace and sin no more!!

How strange, because you do very much believe stories about a man who supposedly came back from the dead 2,000 years ago—a man who, after making a few special guest appearances to a select few of his followers, then floated up and away into the sky on a cloud, never to be seen again; a man who, during his life as a radical itinerant JEWISH preacher, supposedly also performed supernatural magic (‘miracles’)—again mostly only in front of a select few of his friends. What could be weirder than believing those things? Oh, maybe also the fable that the entire Earth was inundated a couple of thousand years BCE, and other tales about a talking donkey, a guy being swallowed and then regurgitated by a whale or ‘great fish”, the sun being stopped in the sky so some genocidal slaughter by the ancient Israelites could be completed in one day, and three dudes surviving unscathed after being cast into a fiery furnace so hot the casters were roasted alive just from approaching it to carry out a fickle ancient tribal god’s bidding: to name but a few of the Judeo-Christian fairy tales in the Bible.
    You also believe in demons, Satan and the “powers of darkness/evil” and that one of the naughtiest things Satan does is get off when you get off and that the ‘spilling of seed’ is offering a sacrifice to him. How quaintly amusing!
    More seriously on the delicate taboo subject of—Ahem!—masturbation, much ignorance is shown by the people who posted comments. The notion that this natural, NORMAL and under most circumstances HEALTHY practise saps a man’s strength etc. is largely due to Victorian prudery. I only scan-read most of the replies, but I didn’t notice any mention of the old chestnut that masturbation makes you go blind. If it did, then blindness would be almost universal among the male population over about the age range eleven to thirteen. (Hmm! I wonder why I can still see at my age?) Even more laughable, this means of going blind apparently excludes girls or women who self-stimulate.
    Further, most male primates and some other animals are also observed to masturbate. (I witnessed monkeys doing this as a boy visiting a local zoo.) Does that mean these animals “sinful” and “depraved”? Does Satan make monkeys play with themselves? Does he get off watching them diddling with their dongas, and randy dogs mounting people’s legs?
    Nobody is “cursed” or condemned for masturbating; it is not a “sin” because there is no god to sin against. Jesus has been dead for nigh on 2,000 years; dead men stay dead; he is not going to suddenly come again—no pun intended; there is no heavenly reward or hellish punishment in some ‘life after death’, which is an oxymoron. So get over it, you folks. Get a life: join the 21st century CE and leave behind the 1st to the 19th with all their silly superstitions and other irrational beliefs.

      Actually, all people go through childhood body discovery and also the body changes that come with puberty. It involves self-touch and feelings of arousal. Both men and women will experience involuntary arousal which in men’s case may be followed by involuntary ejaculation. This is NOT sin, rather it is how people were created.

      Pornography is harmful because the people putting out the pornographic material are being immoral, or are forced to do it against their will through sexual slavery/human trafficking.

      It is also harmful to the viewer because people were not created to watch others engage in sexual activity. Psychologically, it manipulates the brain and even makes physical changes, similar to those of a drug addict’s brain. The user always needs more to get the same fix and becomes unable to stop. It turns the user into a slave of the sin, and sometimes they become a predator.

      I do not think that masturbation is wrong. I think moderation is key. It can be a way to keep someone’s sex drive in check to prevent them from sinning. Perhaps their spouse is serving overseas in the military, or perhaps they are not yet married. Masturbation is a way to keep away from promiscuity. Moderation…….

    So much hate here, I’d like the moderators to clean up some of the more indignant comments… really, this is a Christian website for Christians who know, masturbation is a sin. There are real challenges of quitting the habit and I am far from perfect, but I know God is serious about it. The challenge is that I don’t have a wife, let alone a girlfriend, but I know masturbation is sin. Things are getting very serious now in 2020, I may die as a single man as our economy and society is deformed by the wicked and their lies, but I am more than willing to give up the shameful act of masturbation for my Father that art in Heaven. I see homeless all around where I live, so I’m never really in the mood anyway, you know?

    There is no prohibition of masturbation throughout the whole scripture – not a mention of it or that that would be a sin thought God easily could have given the command that masturbation is a sin as he did with fornication, adultry, incest, bestary etc. The same applies to oral and analsex in marriage. Or do you think God simply forgot to mention it.

    I can´t see it as sin as the bible don´t mention it one single time. If one could show me a word who directly forbids it I will quit otherwise not.
    Sexual sins and masturbation

    Apg 29 Christer Aberg . Christian Evangelist

    Deuteronomy chapters 18 and 20, show a detailed list of many sexual sins, including fornication (Exodus 18:20), incest (Exodus 18: 6-18), homosexuality (Exodus 18:22) and sex with animals (Exodus 18:23). But there is nothing mentioned about masturbation. And it is not mentioned anywhere else about masturbation in the Bible.

    It can be hard to understand that the Bible does not mention anything about masturbation. Nor should we build a doctrine of something that the Bible does not mention. Believe me, I would like to say that masturbation is a sin, but I can not do it because the Bible says nothing about masturbation.

    Not even once in the Bible is masturbation mentioned. God could easily have said that one should not have sex with himself or something like that, but God has never even suggested that such an act is a sin. If masturbation is a sin, there must be somewhere in the scripture where it says having sex with oneself is a sin because all sins are mentioned in the scriptures. If anything is a sin against God, he will tell that it is a sin against him in his Word, and will not leave any sin outside.

    But masturbation can lead to sin. If you lusts after a person and then go home and masturbate then it’s a sin (Matthew 5:28). If you masturbate to porn then it’s a sin of course. Masturbation can open up to evil spirits so that you need a regular liberation. The same thing is for example with alcohol. According to the Bible, it is no sin, but it can lead to sin and people can get stuck in addiction and abuse and be bound by evil spirits. There are other things that the Bible does not say is a sin, but they can lead to sin and one can get stuck in addiction and abuse.

    Someone may say that the Holy Spirit says masturbation is a sin. But how could he do that? It is the Holy Spirit who has spoken the word of God (2 Petr. 1: 20-21). Everything that the Holy Spirit says must match what he has said before in the Bible. And in the Bible, the Holy Spirit has not said anything that masturbation would be a sin. http://www.apg29.nu/index.php?artid=14331

    Private Masturbation Is Not A Sin
    Rev. Bill McGinnis – God Rules Net

    Here is good news for many people: private solo masturbation, which is sexual stimulation and release by one’s self alone, is not a sin. There is no true Scriptural basis for calling it a sin. The idea that it is a sin is pure “doctrine of man,” not based on the Bible.

    Sin is defined as “the transgression of God’s law.”
    “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” ( 1 John 3:4)
    But private solo masturbation is not against God’s law in any way. Therefore it is not a sin. First we find that The 10 Commandments from God do not prohibit masturbation. Adultery is the only sexual activity prohibited by the Ten Commandments. (See The Ten Commandments in Exodus 20.) Next, we look at The Golden Rule and The Law Of Love to see if masturbation is prohibited by them; and we find that masturbation is not prohibited here, either. So where, then, is masturbation prohibited?

    Some people think that Genesis 38 prohibits masturbation, but it does not. God’s displeasure with Onan in Genesis 38 is based on Onan’s disobedience to the old law which required him to father a child by his dead brother’s wife. It has nothing to do with masturbation. Emission of semen, however, was unclean under the law, and a man needed to sacrifice two pigeons or two doves to make up for it. (See Leviticus 15.) It was a minor offense, comparable to accidentally soiling your undergarments. However, the law regarding clean and unclean things was repealed by God in Peter’s vision, as described in Acts 10. So emission of semen became clean, just as eating of pork became clean. This idea is confirmed by Romans 14:14 , where Paul says, “I know and am persuaded in the Lord that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it is unclean.”

    I do not find masturbation listed anywhere as an “abomination,” or anywhere among the various lists of prohibited sexual practices. (See Leviticus 18.) Adultery is prohibited; rape is prohibited; incest is prohibited; homosexual sex is prohibited; sex with animals is prohibited. But masturbation is not even mentioned. If masturbation were really a sin, surely it would be mentioned somewhere in the Bible. But it is not specifically prohibited anywhere in the Bible. So let’s turn now to general prohibitions, to see if masturbation falls under any of the “catch-all” categories of offense.

    The general disapproval of “fornication” (Greek PORNEIA) does not apply, since solo masturbation does not involve two people and does not involve sexual penetration. Even if you translate PORNEIA as “sexual immorality” rather than “fornication,” masturbation is still not prohibited, because PORNEIA means, literally, “the things which prostitutes do.” And nobody pays a prostitute to masturbate herself alone in private. So private solo masturbation is not prohibited either as “fornication” or as “sexual immorality.” Perhaps it might be prohibited because it leads to “impure thoughts.” But this is too vague to enforce; plus the masturbator might be thinking pure thoughts, such as imagining marital sex with his wife who is out of town, or a possible future wife-to-be, if he is not yet married. If you prohibit masturbation on the basis of impure thoughts, then you would similarly need to prohibit all advertising, because advertising sometimes leads to impure thoughts of material greed. Finally, it might be prohibited as a “lust of the flesh,” but if it is lustful, it is certainly no more lustful than the fleshly lust a married man feels for his lawful wife, which is permitted.

    So where, then, is the prohibition? It’s not found in the Bible. Thus we see that the prohibition against masturbation is pure “doctrine of man,” the very kind that Jesus speaks against.

    The simple fact is that private solo masturbation is permitted. And if we reject it as a sin, when it is not, we go against the will of God, Who gave it to us as a gift for our benefit and enjoyment.

    Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord,

      The litmus test to determine if something is a sin: Is it a doorway for further deception? Does it draw us away from intimacy with God and reliance on God? and… IS IT A DOORWAY FOR DEMONS? Is it a portal that says to unclean spirits, “Come on in!” Does it create a legal contract with the enemy?

    To Jaqi Les — You wrote: He (Jesus) was tempted to sin in every way, just like us (which was true), and then you wrote this: Jesus has to experience masturbation and all the nature of this sin in order to understand and sympathize with us (which is FALSE!!!)

    Jesus did not have to experience masturbation or any kind of sin in order to sympathize with us! He only had to be TEMPTED to sin, which He was, in “all ways” like we are, but NOT ONCE did Jesus sin, not once! If He had sinned even once, He would have DISQUALIFIED Himself from being the Savior of the world. This is the proof text from the Bible re this: Heb 4:15  For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 

    So you see, Jesus WAS tempted to sin, but He never did so “yet without sin.” Jesus remained spotless until death.

      Since Jesus was born into a human’s body, he would have had to wash himself which involves touching sensitive areas, yes? Touching those areas will create arousal. He had to go through puberty which would have involved involuntary ejaculations while sleeping at some point.

      Being a person is messy. As a human being, did Jesus sweat, poop, or wash himself in the nether regions? Yes. I don’t know if he intentionally masturbated. This might be one of those areas that is between you and God. If it causes you to sin, then don’t do it. Just like drinking wine causes some to sin, while some can drink wine without getting drunk or sinning. Moderation is important.

    And yet another of your amazing blogs that address really important matters. Thank you so much for your dedication and thank God for gifting you and enabling you to share as you do.
    My comments: Masturbation is demonic. It is a demonic portal. I do believe that it is especially dangerous at the moment of climax, where one’s consciousness markedly shifts and the gateway becomes wide open to giving oneself over to demons, i.e. inviting them to rush in and reside in one’s body and soul. There is no way for masturbation not to be sexual, as some may believe, as it always involves sexual organs as an intrinsic part of the act. Masturbation is an extremely dangerous and deceptive practice, even if done every once in awhile. For those struggling with it, keep taking it to God. Take it Christ Jesus. Seek deliverance. Do everything you humanly can to prevent and eliminate visual and any other stimulation, including what you hear, what you say and what you touch. Ultimately, God is the one who has the power to deliver us from all evil. To get started in deliverance, there is reliable information and support available through boldlysettingcaptivesfree.com. Some people get delivered very quickly and for others it is a slow and often-arduous process, but necessary and so very worth the effort. God bless.

    This post is being reblogged by me. It’s a WordPress post published by “Jesus Truth Delivers” and written by J. Williams. This author is accurate, consistent, kind, loving and direct in his approach. It is very obvious whom he serves. The issue of masturbation, unless addressed in worldly ways, is still an issue that too few Christians think to or are willing or able to address — especially with wisdom or insight. I believe masturbation to be a major portal for the devil’s minions and a wide-open “Come on in!” at the point of climax. Is it socially acceptable? Of course it is. Do we see it more and more on mainstream movie screens? Of course we do. Our favorite famous people promote messages of, “It’s fun. It’s cool. It’s funny. Everyone’s doing it.” “Take a load off,” they say. “Relax!” “Burn off some steam.” “Take the edge off.” “Use it as a sedative.” “Increase your dopamine levels instantly!” How many of us count the costs or have any idea that masturbation is literally playing with fire?

    “Masturbation is a natural biological function. This is attested to by a wealth of academic, medical research and knowledge. However, Christianity uses the words of unqualified, completely anonymous and falsely-ascribed authors from the Bronze Age, most of whom had a clear political agenda, to argue against that knowledge. In so doing, it inflicts unjustified guilt and shame upon the innocent and unlearned, along with maddeningly heightening their libidos. If the guilt-trip proves to be ineffective, it shifts its game to terrorism with the promise of eternal damnation.

    There is a truly serious issue here if we value our freedom. Brainwashing negates free choice. Totalitarianism is the unlimited application of authority that strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible. Totalitarian policies include restriction of movement, restriction of reading material and entertainment, and the prohibition of certain inter-personal relationships.

    However, when people are pressured into embracing doctrines that say they have no right to their own thoughts (Exodus 20:17 and Matthew 5:28) and no right to their own bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19) under the threat of Hellfire for any who refuse to repent; that truly is, not only sadistic, but the final frontier – of tyranny!”

      How is being with yourself a natural biological function, when the very moment we’re conceived, Paul’s words ring true “We do not live to OURSELVES or die to ourselves”. Rom 14:7-9
      Ge 1 “It isn’t good that the man be alone, (so) I will give him a helpmeet SUITABLE for him.”
      Did Yahweh say, it’s fine that the man be alone, as he has his hand, or his pillow, to be a helpmeet, suitable for him?
      The natural biological function, as Romans 1 says is to HAVE A NATURAL AFFECTION FOR THE OPPOSITE SEX. So if you prefer yourself over a woman, something is wrong with that picture (idolatry), esp. if your mind says, just grab yourself, though there are millions of women who would be happy to grab you & you grab them.
      The above statement reflects what was called in 1 Tim 4:1 “doctrines of demons” that “forbid marriage”. How, just ask if at your adult age, you still find some “reason” why you don’t have a wife. You may have been seduced by such a doctrine, & need to REPENT. I know our modern Churches & pastors shamefully do not speak well on this. So you need to go back in time, to Dr. Martin Luther, the Reformer, & read his sermons on marriage. Your eyes will become WIIDE open. Also, read Milton on marriage, yes, THAT Milton, and the book The History & Philosophy of Marriage, by James Campbell

    Yes this opens the doors. I know someone that had to get a deliverance from it. However there’s something going on in society that is far worse. The way the women dress today is evil. They are wearing these leggings and yoga pants that show everything down there causing men to lust , which is a sin. It causes married men (other peoples husbands) to lust. and even tempt them to commit adultery. It’s all the work of the devil. It temps men sexually and it most likely causes men to masturbate. All of these things are sinful and open the door the demons. But the women walk down the street like it’s their right. It’s worse than the prostitutes used to dress. It is disgusting and shameful and it’s causing men to sin. I have talked to many men about it and most men don’t like it. The women think they look sexy but they look very cheap and they’re playing right into Satan’s game.

    I’ll probably get a lot of push back from what I’m going to say, but what about little babies and little children discovering that their bodies have sex organs and that rubbing them at times simply feels good? They are not fantasizing. They are not thinking sexual thoughts at all. They just know that it feels good.
    So my question is this: is THAT a sin?
    God gave us our sex organs. And yes, they feel good to be played with. But is that a sin when it is not motivated by sexual thoughts?
    I don’t think we can make blanket statements that ALL masturbation is a sin.
    When a young person such as an adolescent is growing up and developing sexually, their bodies are more sensitive. Sometimes they experience pressure in their sex organs that need a release. Is THAT too a “sin”?
    I agree that if someone is fantasizing and is looking at porn to get aroused, that is clearly sinful.
    Or if they are looking at someone sexually and lusting, that too is a sin. But when your body, occasionally need a release due to built up pressure, but you are not fantasizing when doing it, nor are you trying to stir up any lustful thoughts about someone, how is this technically as sin?
    Certainly, if someone is habitually maturbation, that falls into the category of addiction. And that can be a sin.
    But like eating. Is eating a sin? Do we sin when we get pleasure when we eat something delicious? Only when we over eat …eat more than our body needs, does it become gluttony…or if we continually fantasize about eating something delicious. Then that could become a sin.

    Are you getting my points?

      Remove yourself from all filthiness of the flesh and all manner of uncleanness

      No provision for the flesh is the command is the understanding

      Deep down the thought is I want to feel good I’m not feeling good

      Or you say oh my physiology is awake

      Do your feelings determine your actions in life or is there a higher rule?

      Sin is crouching at the door it’s desire is to rule over you but you are to master it

      Temperance is ἐγκράτεια in the Greek, labelled G1466 and means continence or self control.

      If you say “aw, well I can handle a little bit” or “it doesn’t rule me it doesn’t own me, I can partake in this and I don’t believe it’s a sin” then I guess you have a clean conscience about it but you don’t need to defend / justify it

    I just want to make a point that your caption says masturbation is one of the *biggest* sins, and then somewhere in the beginning of the article, you say masturbation is a *serious* sin. In the Bible, it states that no sin is greater than any other sin. So, if you are going to tell us readers that if we were “actually” christian we wouldn’t masturbate, then maybe you should get some of the most important facts straight before you condemn your readers.
    Also, I do not remember reading anywhere in the Bible that actually states, “masturbation is selfish you’re only supposed to go anywhere near that area with your partner,” so I have an inkling that its just a personal opinion of yours. But, if Im wrong about, that please let me know with the verse attached. thank you.
