[QUOTE="eleos1954, post: 77605781, member: 404063"] Using the verse the correct context of all sex is to be between a man and a woman. Masturbation is a sexual release. If it isn't considered a sexual release then what is it? It's having sex with yourself instead of a between man/woman as God intended. Fornication biblically defined is sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman ... that would include yourself. Another thought ... One can commit adultery in their mind. '[B]You shall not commit adultery[/B];' 28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a. woman to lust after her has committed. adultery with her already in his heart. Hard to get around that masturbation is not a sexual act. 1st Corinthians 6 [HEADING=2]Honor God with Your Body[/HEADING] 12 Some of you say, “We can do anything we want to.” But I tell you not everything is good for us. So I refuse to let anything have power over me. 13 You also say, “Food is meant for our bodies, and our bodies are meant for food.” But I tell you that God will destroy them both. We are not supposed to do indecent things with our bodies. We are to use them for the Lord who is in charge of our bodies. 14 God will raise us from death by the same power he used when he raised our Lord to life. Does masturbation honor God? Don't seem logical to me ... it's a self-gratifying act and being self-gratifying does not honor God. That's our main problem .... selfishness ... and our selfishness is manifested in many ways. As far as sin goes ... we all sin and the judgement of that is entirely up to Jesus and we are not privy to His judgement. [HEADING=2]1 John 2:16 ESV [/HEADING] For all that is in the world—the [U][B]desires of the flesh[/B][/U] and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. Go to prayer about it and seek God's wisdom in the matter. [/QUOTE]
