Answer 3

The Bible does not specifically mention masturbation, the deliberate self-stimulation that produces sexual arousal and orgasm.



However, God’s Word commands Christians: “Deaden, therefore, your body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, and improper sexual appetite.”Colossians 3:5.

Masturbation fosters a distorted and self-centered view of sex.



Masturbation is a form of uncleanness. It can make you a ‘slave to various desires and pleasures,’ and it fosters unhealthy attitudes. At the same time, masturbation is not a form of gross sexual immorality, such as fornication.



Say a Christian makes a practice of masturbation, deliberately stimulating himself to cause sexual excitement, whether this is accompanied by pornography or not.



Although the term “masturbation” does not occur in the Bible, can there be any doubt that it is a mentally and emotionally defiling practice? Would not continued defilement of this sort seriously damage one’s personal relationship with Jehovah and make one unclean in God’s sight?



sexual offenses such as premarital sex (fornication), homosexuality, adultery, and bestiality are plainly condemned as gross sins in the Bible, masturbation is not mentioned.



Masturbation was common in the Greek-speaking world during Bible times, and several Greek words were used to describe the practice. Interestingly, not one of these words is used in the Bible.

YES! The Bible dose says it is a sin! Jesus even said IF a man even thinks of having sex with a woman he is Not married to, he is sinning!

Masturbation is Worse!

Please Stop for your own Sake!

Why did you even think of it?

When I was growing up, even thinking of kissing did not happen quite so young! Wild ideas of marriage start as much younger kids; but not kissing or sex! When I was ten years old I even wanted to get married to a nine year old boy. But that meant holding hands a lot more and thinking of sneaky tricks to put on some very dumb people around us together.

Plus we certainly Kept Praying to God!

Have you prayed to God?

Answer 5

Punished for masturbating? Of course not. Every time you masturbate, god gives you a reward at the end. Clearly it's how he prefers we spend our free time.

Answer 6

Yes, haven't you read the original 10 commandments, as revealed to Moses? The 4th commandment says, "Thou shalt not self-gratify!" This has been further explained by St. Luke. The ultimate punishment that God may give you is that your penis will shrivel and fall like a dead flower.

Answer 7

Any religion that makes you feel guilty for being human is extremely bad for you and a mind control cult.

This includes Christianity and Islam

Answer 8

I'll make it simple for you, god is a lie. Stop believing in imaginary things. Instead of watching porn and dreaming about playing basketball with other guys... why not do something useful?

Answer 9

No it is not a sin. No God will not punish you.

watching porn is like using drugs. It is addictive. You're walking in quicksand.
