Question

For a christian: so as long as you dont love it more than God, is it ok to watch p**n and m********e?

Answer 1

It's not okay to watch p**n, but I don't think it's a big deal to God if you m********e.  

Answer 2

I think you definitely need to go and have a Thomas Tank!  It might make you a bit less uptight .....

Answer 3

Concerning p**n:

Matthew 5:28 – “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who has looked a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Concerning masturbation:

Another argument against masturbation is that it is a self-centered activity rather than a God-centered activity. For some Christians, there is a belief that an o****m actually brings a person closer to God. However, a majority of Christians believe that “pleasuring oneself” is about the self rather than God. Most Christians see their faith as having a God-focus, and that every act should be a way of edifying God. Thus, if masturbation is not helping to develop a relationship with God, it is a sin.

Psalm 119:35-37 – “Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statues and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.”

Answer 4

no.."two shall become one flesh"

Be careful what you let yourself become a part of.

Answer 5

To the guy above:

Taking a dump doesn't bring you closer to god but it is not a god-centred activity nor is it a sin. It's a bodily function.

Masturbation is just another bodily function.

It's good stress relief, it also relieves lustful thoughts, and the desire for real s*x, and it can be as good as a sleeping pill.

If we weren't meant to do it, it wouldn't feel good.

Answer 6

If I say "it's not Okay"

Will that be enough to stop you?

Answer 7

Only if it is done in Church, with witnesses.  

Answer 8

You're not supposed to do unnatural things.  Watching p**n and NOT masturbating  is the most unnatural thing I can think of.

Answer 9

God didnt make your wiener.... satan added it later, when god wasnt looking.

DONT TOUCH IT!

Answer 10

We are to put the deeds of the flesh to death, that is "DO NOT DO THEM".

Colossi ans 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Colossi ans3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

It is not ok to watch p**n, nor m********e, nor take part in any sin outside of marriage between a man and his own wife.Our bodies are not our own, they have be bought by the blood of Jesus we are no longer our own, but belong to God.

Answer 11

no.....REFRAIN FROM BREAKING THE RULES...

Answer 12

For a true Chrstian who love GOD then!

The mind must also be kept clean of immoral thoughts.

Jesus said: “Everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Those words apply equally to viewing pornographic images on paper, a screen, or the Internet; to reading accounts of sexual activities; and to listening to suggestive lyrics of songs. Avoiding such material pleases God and has an upbuilding influence on one’s life.

Masturbation is a form of uncleanness. It can make you a ‘slave to various desires and pleasures,’ and it fosters attitudes that can be mentally corrupting. (Titus 3:3)

At the same time, self-masturbation is not a form of gross sexual immorality, such as fornication. (Ephesians 4:19)

Hence, if you have a problem with masturbation, you need not conclude that you have committed the unforgivable sin. The key is to resist the urge and never to give up your fight!

I hope this helps
