Some schools teach about lesbianism,homosexuality, sodomy which they say are sins or wrong acts but they never say masturbation is wrong. So is masturbation wrong and does God expect us to masturbate becos I think its a sin.
Masturbation is a sin. It is not written in the Bible with that word but the Bible use this word: lust. Its definition is bodily appetite; excessive sexual desire...
any kind of disorganized desire of the bodies is lust and hurts our Spirit cause He lives inside us. "Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy."Romans 13:13
The word pure or chaste (Gk hagnon) means to be free from all taint of that which is lewd. It suggests refraining from all acts and thoughts that incite desire not in accordance with one’s purity before God. Controlling one’s own body in sanctification and honour fit for the master’s use. (1 Thes 4:4) that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour. We ought to bear in mind that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit He resides in us.
As a believer it is mandatory that we show self control and steadfast restraint with reference to all sexual matter before marriage. (Gal 5:24) And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
The biblical terms used for sexual immorality are fornication (Gk porneia) describes a wide variety of sexual activities before or outside the marriage. The English word porn is derived from this.
1 Cor 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
(b)Lasciviousness (Gk aselgeia) denotes the absence of clear moral principles, specifically, disregard of sexual reserve and restraint that maintains pure and chaste behavior, wantonness.
2 Cor 12:21, And lest, when I come again my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
Eph 4:19 who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. We must not reach the point whereby we loose shame doing ungodly things without restraints
Lust (Gk epithumia) is having immoral desire or strong desire which one would fulfill if the opportunity arose.
Matt 5: 28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Hence to look at a woman wanting to possess her is guilty of a sexual sin in his heart.
A person who masturbates is achieving fleshly gratification and excitement and even though it is not mentioned in the bible is falls under sexual immorality.
Masturbation is a sin, a person who masturbates, defiles his or her body; and not only their bodies, but the temple of the Holy Spirit of God who is in you and you are not your own. "Cor. 6:19".
Masturbation is a flesly desire and lusts. The bible says in the book of Rom. that the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh. So my friends, let not our fleshly desire overcome the great Spirit of God who dwells in us. We need to purify our bodies by the help, grace and stregth of Him who dwells in us.
I end here by saying, masturbation is a sin, though not written in the bible, its imorality that defiles the body of christ. Do not defile the body of Christ. God bless.
