I can't speak to other activities, @inkcreature1343 This channel is dedicated to helping Christians avoid sexual sin. Masturbation is sexual sin because someone can't do it to the glory of God.

Victory over the sin of masturbation is available, @retroseventy I know a Christian man who looked at porn and masturbated for 50 years. But that all stopped in 2021 when he got serious about forsaking his sin and following the Lord's commands about how to flee sexual immorality, as found in the Bible. I have had victory in this area for years, too. A life free of sexual immorality and masturbation is possible, as long as a man is willing to trust Jesus Christ to save him and deliver him.

Yes, except for Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James, Jude and the writer of Hebrews. @kenpyle1716

The context of this verse is God commanding Lot and his family to flee the wicked city of Sodom, which was wicked because of its sexual immorality. Fleeing in this case meant fleeing God's wrath against sexual immorality. God will one day destroy sinners for all manner of sins other than sexual immorality and lust, @prestonwade1848

That is a great suggestion, @MrAndyhdz. But I can't deal with more than one topic per video. I have created a playlist that deals with gouging out your right eye. And I have created videos that address each of the other verses in detail. Enjoy.

This channel is for Christian men who want to forsake and avoid pornography because it is wrecking their lives, @melodywoolf171 . Jesus says to men that looking at women to lust after them is wicked and sends a man to hell. So, any warnings about avoiding porn are useful.

The Bible couldn’t possibly be large enough to mention every forbidden act or every authorized act. Plus, you face the problem of innovation. Technologies exist today that didn’t exist when the Holy Spirit inspired the authors to write the books of the Bible (that’s why the Bible is silent about Tinder and virtual reality headsets). There is simply no way that the Bible could be a rule book that governs every possible activity for all time. You and I know that exposing our genitals in public is a sin even though the Bible neither forbids nor authorizes exhibitionism. We know that peeping though windows to watch others undressing or having sex is wrong even though the Bible is silent on the topic of voyeurism. The same goes for masturbation. If you and I study the Scriptures with an open heart, asking God to guide our thoughts, and meditating on God’s express design for sex as something that takes place only between a husband and wife (God has spoken expressly on this topic), we will discover soon enough why masturbation is sin. @TDL-xg5nn

@@Maikigai when mastu_bating, your mind and body is in the same state as when one has s_x. With your mind, body (and often eyes) you are literally having a s_x.

@Maikigai Masturbation suffers the same problem of sexual immorality in men - the expenditure of seed. To understand what ages a man, look no further than: stress & replenishment of seed/seminal fluid. It is extremely costly for your body to produce semen, after all at the foundational level it is the meaning of your life, to succeed where your parents and all of your direct ancestors succeeded - reproduction. So rule 1: Stop, think, go do something productive instead. Because It's killing you, slowly, and its effects are far more potent if you are doing it at a young age (worsened eyesight, terrible memory, feelings of depression and loneliness, not growing to your full genetic potential height). Leave yourself alone, let yourself develop, and you'll realise that the seed that you've been wasting will improve ever other aspect of your life. Another rule, and probably the one that pairs best with rule 1, is rule 2: avoid lusting. You are a human soul, in an animalistic body. The animals go around their business and at a certain time, they dance and fight for the right to reproduce, the best dancers and the best fighters are the ones with the most skills. You get skills by working on yourself, not by sitting alone in a room and touching yourself to dirty images on a screen. None of this is taught in mainstream schools, because if it were, we wouldn't have people growing up without ambitions and wants and needs. There'd be no one to work at McD's!

Thanks, @AgentThursday

Thank you for sharing your view, @snowwhitehair485 I disagree. My view, based on the teaching of Scripture overall, is that masturbation is always wrong. It's sin for believers and it's sin for unbelievers. It's sin for the married and it's sin for unmarried. So, there are no scenarios in which masturbation is acceptable to God. This video, by the way, is simply one of many that I have created that deals with this issue. There are other biblical reasons that masturbation is sin; this video deals with just one of them. I cover these reasons in detail in an article, Why Masturbation Is a Sin. makenoprovision.com/why-masturbation-is-a-sin/ I hope this helps.

Only God can forgive sins and save a soul from divine wrath. Jesus Christ is the only way to receive that forgiveness. You are wise to trust Him, @davidkellymitchell4747

@@MakeNoProvision That's right! Only Jesus can save us. We're already saved, we just have to accept that gift. If we appreciate what God has done for us we'll do our best to do the things that please him. Love and forgiveness is what makes him happy. If we truly loved everyone including God it would be hard to sin.

OK.

Masturbation is sin if someone does it without full faith that it is OK in God's eyes. The bible teaches that "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). @Music1art

@@MakeNoProvision "20- For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21- It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22- Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23- And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." (Romans 14: 23) In this context paul is speaking of a choice, to eat food that was previously offered to idols or to not eat it. As Paul clarifies in the context, eating is not sinful in itself, but it is a matter of faith IF it is involved with a ritual act, it is then a matter of believing or not in the ritual act, not in the eating itself. So, your text is out of context when you apply it to an act that does not involves faith because is not bound to rituality or the believing in idols. The mere act of eating (or masturbating) is not bound to rituality or faith, is just a natural biological need.

Read the text, @Music1art "WHATSOEVER is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). If you have doubts about ANY act, whether you should do it or not, suspecting that the act might be sinful, then you are sinning if you go ahead and do it anyway, because "whatsoever is not of faith is sin."

@Music1art My intended audience on this channel is Christian men for whom masturbation is a matter of faith. Masturbation is not an act like taking a shower or going to the gym. Around 55,000 Christians go online every month and search to discover if masturbation is a sin. They boot up Google and type: “is masturbation a sin” (15,589 searches), “is masturbating a sin” (6,544 searches), “is masturbation a sin according to the bible” (6,494 searches), “what does the bible say about masturbation” (4,774 searches), “is jerking off a sin” (2,400 searches), “is touching yourself a sin” (1,900 searches), “what does the bible say about self satisfaction” (921 searches). Why do so many Christians search to discover if masturbation is a sin? Because their conscience troubles them. Their conscience makes them feel guilty and ashamed after the act, so they suspect that the act must be wrong. They do the act in private, and keep it a secret from their fiancé or spouse, so they naturally suspect that it must be sin. But they don’t find a clear command in the Bible prohibiting masturbation, so they turn to Google. But the better place to turn to is the 14th chapter of the Book of Romans, verse 23. Here Paul spells out the universal rule to use whenever contemplating a dodgy act. “Whatever is not from faith,” says Paul, “is sin.” In other words, if you cannot do something with full conviction that the action is right, that action is sinful. If you doubt that something is correct, don’t do it, because doing it is sin. For you to take any action, you must be persuaded that it is right, proper and good. You cannot doubt. If you doubt, you are condemned (read the first part of the verse again).

@@MakeNoProvision That is taken out of the context. I just showed you why the word "faith" is used when it is in reference to sacrificing to idols. If the conscience of the one eating thinks that that food is evil and eats it, then they are participating of idolatry, but if they think that "an idol is nothing in the world" and "all things are clean" in themselves, as Paul says, then they have the faith that eating is not going to make them idolaters. But by your argument you seem to imply that if they don't doubt masturbation being acceptable, then it is not sin, but if they doubt, then it is sin. That destroys your initial argument about it being sin. The "WHATSOEVER" is still within that context anyway, it is not a word used with an absolute general meaning, otherwise, many daily things could be considered sin, and that is ridiculous.

If the Bible is silent on a topic, you cannot safely draw inferences for why the Bible is silent. After all, the Bible is silent on the topic of writing short stories about child molestation. But you can't argue that the Bible is silent on this topic because this act doesn't cause harm to others. Instead, you must use another yardstick. And one yardstick is Romans 14:23. Paul, through the Holy Spirit, says that if you have doubts about any act, whether you should do it or not, then you are sinning if you go ahead and do it anyway, because "whatsoever is not of faith is sin." @Music1art

@@MakeNoProvision You say "After all, the Bible is silent on the topic of writing short stories about child molestation. But you can't argue that the Bible is silent on this topic because this act doesn't cause harm to others." All I said is precisely that acts that cause harm to others are sinful, so this example is just out of topic totally. If the bible is silent on a topic we have the right to draw inferences as long as they do not contradict the bible in an obvious way, otherwise, we will have to allow for wrong interpretations which would be the same as drawing incorrect inferences.

I would not feel comfortable having sex with my wife in front of Jesus. So your saying I should not have sex with my wife ?

My point, @PutGodFirst77 , is that you shouldn't feel ashamed. Sex between a husband and wife is natural, even God-ordained. Being seen might cause you some embarrassment, but not shame, or guilt. That's my point. The same cannot be said for masturbation. I can't imagine that anyone wants to get caught doing the act. That is a clue that it is wrong.

Not necessarily. They do it because they are not born of The True and Living God and will have to give an account of it soon. Very soon

The Bible says, "Whatever is not from faith is sin." Or, to put it another way, if you can't do it in faith, don't do it. So, if you can't masturbate in faith that your actions please God, then that is sin. Masturbation is sin if you can't do it in faith, @taylorthetunafish5737

I agree that marriage is a serious proposition, @lawrencehockett8179 As for God being fine with masturbation, I have to disagree. Since masturbation is sin, doing it is wrong whether someone gets hurt or not. Yes, God understands that we are human, but God does not excuse or overlook our sin. I get wound up about sexual immorality because it leads men and women to eternal judgment and separation from God in the Lake of Fire if they fail to repent and believe the gospel.

@@MakeNoProvision I agree with you but i also believe God forgives because he understands that we will make mistakes. As long as we don’t make plans to do something wrong, it happens for whatever reason we will be forgiven. Obviously some sins are worse than others.

Masturbation IS having sex with someone you are not married to. Paul is speaking about sexual immorality (fornication), @jakethehud. Masturbation is sexual immorality. If masturbation was a legitimate way to release sexual tension, Paul would say so. Pleasuring yourself is certainly faster and cheaper, and more convenient, and involves less commitment, than marrying someone. But self-pleasuring is not an option for a Christian. Is masturbation a sin in the Bible? Yes. Because there are only two biblical outlets for sexual desire. One is self-control. The other is marriage. Pick one.

@@MakeNoProvision No, masturbation is the stimulation of your own genitals for sexual arousal or sexual pleasure. It is a sexual gratification apart from intercourse. There is no definition that says otherwise, and there is no definition that says fornication is other than extramarital sex, extramarital relations, adultery or a bit on the side. There is nowhere in the Bible that mentions masturbation, and why would Paul have to mention it? You don't see him mentioning in the Bible every sin that can be done. Is it evil, vile or a wickedness? It may be a sin, but it can be forgiven. When the scribes and Pharisees brought a women to Jesus, who had committed adultery, and said to Jesus that Moses law required that she be stoned. And Jesus said, he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her, and when they all left, and no one had condemned her, Jesus said, neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208&version=KJV

​@@MakeNoProvision masterbation is not having sex. Sex takes at least two people. Even if it were sex, you're doing it with yourself, a person you are already "one" with. Marriage is making two people "one". Besides, masterbation doesn't stop a person from burning with passion. It tends to make passion, or lust, worse. You are adding laws to the law. Like a Pharisee. I believe Jesus would rebuke you just like he did others like you. At best, the verse isn't clear. You shouldn't take a single verse and make a doctrine out of it. That's how cults get their strange rules. This is clearly a case of bad exegesis.

Not to mention, what about masterbation within marriage? Both husband and wife, in bed, masterbating. You're doing it to yourself, she's doing it to herself, but you're together in the marriage bed. Together, mutually enjoying each other. What if one person enjoys watching the other do it? If you can do it next to each other, are you suggesting it's a sin if it takes too long and she continues when you have to leave for work? What if you want her to continue when you have to leave? Can you see how your viewpoint falls apart? I can't think of even one verse in the Bible about masterbation. What you're doing is taking your bias, your own presupposition, your own rules, and reading it into the Bible when it's clearly not there. Stop oppressing people. ​@@MakeNoProvision

@@TheRealMonnie MakeNoProvision is wrong when he says masturbation is having sex with someone you are not married to, and I have told him this before. Masturbation is towards sexual arousal or pleasure. If you believe what he says, then your committing adultery if you masturbate to stimulate your sexual arousal, which people do as foreplay, when they are going to have sex. What do you call it if she masturbates her husband? Is she committing adultery as well?

Thanks for your question, @bigfootnmore6619. Since you agree that lust is sin, you must surely believe that giving in to lust is also sin, right? You are wondering what to do if, as you put it, "you are not able to practice self control fully." This is where we disagree. I believe that, if masturbation is sin, then you do have enough self-control to avoid it. Sin is never mandatory. Sin is never something you must do. Sin is voluntary. You cannot stand before God on judgment day and say, "I had to sin against you. I had no choice. I was not able to practice self control fully." If masturbation is sin, then avoiding it is possible. If you cannot marry, then you must exercise self-control.

Not a single sexual temptation is irresistible, @bigfootnmore6619. No sexual urge is impossible to overcome. God promises that, in every temptation, in every trial, He provides a way out. God always gives you a way to escape sexual temptation so that you do not have to sin. Here’s the promise: “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). God always provides a way of escape from sexual temptation. Always. Look around and you’ll find it.

@@MakeNoProvision well, since you don't sin then you must understand this on a level that we don't. Please break it down so that us that have not overcome sin can understand and practice a non-sin life. Paul had not gotten there either. He declared that the good he wanted to do he couldn't do, and that the bad he didn't want to do, that he did. Maybe later in his life he overcame it like you so that he didn't need Gods I'm grace. For me, I am still working out my salvation with fear and trembling. As I'm not 100% in perfect harmony with what my spirit wants and being able to control the flesh.

@bigfootnmore6619 I am not saying that I don't sin, because I do. I am simply holding up the truth from God's Word, the Bible, that not a single sexual temptation is irresistible. God always provides a way of escape from sexual temptation.

@@MakeNoProvision oh, it sounded to me like you had overcame sexual sin and didn't need Gods grace anymore.

I agree, @AgentThursday

@crasher88 obeying the clear commands of Scripture is never a lose-lose situation.

Thanks, @AgentThursday Your friend took the command of Jesus (to pluck out the eye that causes sin) to its logical conclusion. I admire him for that, too. Following Jesus is going to hurt because it means getting rid of things that are practical and convenient if they cause sin.

Agreed. Thanks, @AgentThursday

I am not the one "condemning what mutually consenting adults do when it comes to creating or watching pornography." I am using God's Word, the Bible, to condemn pornography. Men and women sin all the time in mutually consenting ways, but that doesn't make their sin OK. God has a standard for sexual relations, and that standard forbids pornography.

And what about taking virginal girls in marriage after killing their family? That was my other topic.

I have nothing to say about that.

@@MakeNoProvision That makes the rest of us wonder where your priorities lie on the matter. By not even addressing it, you create an opening for us to assume that you consider what two mutually consenting adults do in their bedroom to be more morally heinous than killing a family in another tribe and abducting the daughters. You won't confirm it, but neither are you denying it. The very act of not answering my query, in and of itself, still says a lot.

OK, @Abracadabra208

Thanks for your comment. Actually, the New Testament condemns sex outside of marriage. Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians that men and women are to exercise self control where sexual desire is concerned. If they can't, they are to marry.

Were the Old Testament figures, then, sinning when they took concubines?

I have nothing to say about that.
