the bible says we all sin and therefore fall short of the Glory of God. for any man to sit here and judge sins of others would be to commit sin himself. i believe if a person has a personal faith in Christ and God they will come to know their own sin by reading God's word and allowing the Spirit to guide them in life. until that time we are to love the sinner, pray for them and minister to them of God's grace in our life that God may do His job in their heart, not condem them.

I don't think it is a sin.  I love beer, and I do not feel that it is a sin to drink it -- only to abuse it.  \n\nHowever, it is not important what I think.  What do YOU think?  Why do you feel guilty?  If you feel it is a sin, then yes, for you it is a sin.  \n\nPersonally, I think you can abuse (gluttony) pretty much anything in life.  Gluttony is where the danger is.

I'd say fornication isn't so much a "sin" as it's a distraction from things you should be doing with your time that'd be more constructive.  Yes it's fun, but where is it getting you?\n\nSo no, it wouldn't piss God off that you don't feel guilty.  Just focus on being productive in the future.\n\nMaybe that'd be a good leaflet for my church.  "F*@k, but then go read a book."

When God saved me, He forgave me of all my sins. Past, future, and present. He made me a new person. I have no desire for sin. However, as long as we live in this sinful world, and have these sinful bodies, we will have sin in our life. We have to walk close to God, and ask Him to help us to resist all evil, and temptation.

18Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Not true at all! Where did you get that from?\n\nRead the Song of Solomon and I Corinthians 7:1-9 sometime.\n\n\nMore:\n\nQuestion:  "Is it wrong for a married couple to have sex just for pleasure?"\n\n \n\nAnswer:  Almost an entire book in the Old Testament is dedicated to the subject of passion and sexual pleasure. Song of Solomon is so detailed in its intention of sexual pleasure in marriage that allegories were used to tone it down and Hebrew boys couldn't read it until they were 12, when they became men. God's intention of sex in marriage is clearly intended to be pleasurable. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 talks about not abstaining from sex in marriage, "But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband. The husband is to fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does, and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control."\n\n \n\nThe feelings of sexual longings and pleasure during sex were created by God and marriage was created to fulfill that pleasure. What Paul is saying is to direct those feelings to your spouse and no other and make sure that they are fulfilled within your marriage relationship not outside of it. Notice that Paul says if one of the partners is not living up to their spouses expectations, whether it be pleasure or time, then you both need to bring it before God so that one of you doesn't try to find fulfillment outside of that marriage relationship. Because of the existence of porn and the perversion of sex over the years, many people (especially Christians) get the idea that pleasurable sex is wrong. We sometimes forget that God fashioned us for sex and created the emotions to go with it, pleasure was intended. Don't let Satan and his world keep you from enjoying your spouse and or consumed with it so that you fall into the counterfeit pleasure of sex that the world offers. God's pleasure is real and satisfying, Satan's is counterfeit and empty.

Because accepting pleasure means that you don't need a preacher to connect you with god, you can do it directly.\n\nIf they can't control you, then they have no power.\n\nTherefore, they say pleasure is a bad thing.\n\nhttp://flushaholybook.com\n\nIt's all about the benjamins.

God's goodness demands that He punish evil. But it does not restrict Him from taking that punishment upon Himself, in the form of His only Begotten Son, the Messiah Jesus.\n\nHowever, if you only want to continue in your sins, there is no point in bringing you to Heaven, where there is no sin (Revelation 21:8, 22:11; John 3:16-21).

First - your spelling is atrocious.  \n\nSecond - If you are asking if it's okay to masturbate because you have been told it's a sin....then the answer is NO it's not a sin.  Everyone does it, including the people who claim it's a sin.

There is nothing harmful about self pleasure.  It is a healthy practice for most men and can actually help with your sex life. It does not decrease your styaying power or sperm count either.  If anything it makes you more aware how it works and gives you more control when using it.

i see what you're saying, and i feel the same way a lot of times, i too am a Christian virgin. i will say that lust is wrong, as all these guys have.\n\nhowever, Christ calls us to a relationship with Him, and to walk with Him daily. really, if we just live in His grace, thats all we need to do. if masturbating comes naturally when you're walking with Him and it seems like it's not tearing you from Him, go ahead. as paul says, "everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial... i will not be mastered by anything" (1 corinthians 6:12). pray about it, and make sure sexual desire isn't mastering you. paul also says in galatians 5 that it is for freedom that Christ set us free, and under the grace and will of God we don't have to live in fear of the law, because following the law doesn't make us Christians or perfect or whole or fulfilled - Christ does. so listen to Christ and the way He expresses Himself in all kind of different forms, and don't be tied to legalism and whether or not there's a black and white solution for everything. normally there's a lot of gray areas, and thats why Christ doesn't want us to follow the law, He wants us to walk with Him and be free in Him.\n\nit also says in galatians 5 that one of the ways the Spirit of Christ expresses Himself in our lives is by developing self control within us. and what i've discovered is that a good way to develop self control is by disciplining yourself (with His help) to stop masturbating if it is controlling you and if it does makes you more free when you're not doing it. its also freeing, when the urge comes on, just to say "satan, i don't have to listen to you. Christ has set me free, now, so i don't have to listen to you anymore and i don't have to look to this kind of pleasure to fulfill me. get away, in the name of Jesus."\n\nthen just search your heart for His words, and don't be afraid to pray about it, a lot.\n\nlove in Christ, may He give you guidance to know what to do, and the grace to accept His love and forgiveness when you don't listen to Him, because nobody does perfectly.\n\n:)\n\n\nwww.myspace.com/shoobadablam

It is morally wrong not to enjoy ourselves. What about people who are blind, does that mean I should not want to see, or people who are deaf, does that mean I should not want to hear?\nWhatever it takes to enjoy life and as long as it does not hurt anyone else, it should be done.

If you entertain a sinful thought, it is considered a sin.
