What does God think of masturbation?

September 29th, 2008 · 21 Comments

Aren't my sperm little babies? When I masturbate, am I commiting genocide? If Christians are going to outlaw stem cell research, why don't they outlaw masturbation? Or having periods for that matter? If the argument is that a zygote is a potential human at conception, aren't my sperm potential people by themselves? Also, God loves abortion. Women have miscarriages all the time. Or is it Satan that makes those happen?

      or a better question, what does God think about DURING masturbation . . . hmmm?

      Men create 10,000's of sperm every day, whether they're "released" or not, most just "die". That's alot of pre-emptive abortions.

      its not a sin Sperm alone isnt a child..stem cell research is messing with already formed babies with souls.. Miscarriages are accidental when something is wrong..

      Some religions forbid masturbation, Judaism considers masturbation a sin and the "spending" of sperm is forbidden.

      Your sperm is not a potential baby. It takes the sperm and egg to make a baby. Before that,its just ejaculation. If you never cumm again that sperm will never form into a baby,neither would an egg discharged during a period. However,when egg and sperm meet,IF the FERTILIZED egg attaches itself on the uetrine wall,than and only then is there a baby. The egg MUST BE fertililized. Miscarraiges happen alot. This is not an induced abortion. It happens for different reasons not bc we walk into a clinic and stick a vaccum inside us and suck of the baby's lil limbs and collapse the skull. Its an accident.

      Here you go!
      Leviticus 15 (NIV)
      Discharges Causing Uncleanness
      1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean. 3 Whether it continues flowing from his body or is blocked, it will make him unclean. This is how his discharge will bring about uncleanness:

      4 " 'Any bed the man with a discharge lies on will be unclean, and anything he sits on will be unclean. 5 Anyone who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening. 6 Whoever sits on anything that the man with a discharge sat on must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening.

      7 " 'Whoever touches the man who has a discharge must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening.

      8 " 'If the man with the discharge spits on someone who is clean, that person must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening.

      9 " 'Everything the man sits on when riding will be unclean, 10 and whoever touches any of the things that were under him will be unclean till evening; whoever picks up those things must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening.

      11 " 'Anyone the man with a discharge touches without rinsing his hands with water must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening.

      12 " 'A clay pot that the man touches must be broken, and any wooden article is to be rinsed with water.

      13 " 'When a man is cleansed from his discharge, he is to count off seven days for his ceremonial cleansing; he must wash his clothes and bathe himself with fresh water, and he will be clean. 14 On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come before the LORD to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and give them to the priest. 15 The priest is to sacrifice them, the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement before the LORD for the man because of his discharge.

      16 " 'When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening. 17 Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening. 18 When a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both must bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

      19 " 'When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.

      20 " 'Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. 21 Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening. 22 Whoever touches anything she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening. 23 Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, he will be unclean till evening.

      24 " 'If a man lies with her and her monthly flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he lies on will be unclean.

      25 " 'When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time other than her monthly period or has a discharge that continues beyond her period, she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge, just as in the days of her period. 26 Any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be unclean, as is her bed during her monthly period, and anything she sits on will be unclean, as during her period. 27 Whoever touches them will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening.

      28 " 'When she is cleansed from her discharge, she must count off seven days, and after that she will be ceremonially clean. 29 On the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 30 The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before the LORD for the uncleanness of her discharge.

      31 " 'You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place, which is among them.' "

      32 These are the regulations for a man with a discharge, for anyone made unclean by an emission of semen, 33 for a woman in her monthly period, for a man or a woman with a discharge, and for a man who lies with a woman who is ceremonially unclean.

      recently i was refering an article on mastrunation in Brtianica encyclopedia….it says that according to bible mastrubation was sin..it was encoded in the bible.."Sin of Onan" were god punishes a boy for spilling his seeds……….

      every i am commitng a genocide…it better to commit a genocide rather than make a women carry a unwanted child

    • 18 t_a_m_i_l // Sep 29, 2008 at 5:58 am

      When spilling sperm is a sin, is if God let you know you are to get your wife pregnant, & you deliberately disobey God. Also if adultery or idolatry (imaginations) is involved.

      A life hasn't started until sperm meets egg.

      Miscarriages could be because there is something wrong with the baby (God could cause it). It could be because of the emotions of the mother (or personal trauma). Or is could be because Satan is causing the miscarriage. Or it could be word curses spoken by others. Or it could be because someone punched the mother in the stomach.

      Also, God does not love abortion. God is creating a baby, & abortion cuts life short. In the case of giving birth to the butcherer is the consequence of a sinful nation (bible). It is a curse on a land.

      mishmash has interesting verses. So you need to clean up according to God's rules after it happens, according to the old covenant. In new covenant, just shower.

      Larrym, Jesus never said that.

      If he made us with the urge to play with ourselves it is ok

    • 20 eduarodi // Sep 29, 2008 at 5:58 am

      EVEN if each sperm were a baby, you wouldn't be committing genocide by masturbating. Unless of course, you made each sperm into a real baby by uniting it to a woman's ovum.

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

      Since masturbation is not directly condemned in the Bible, does this mean it is harmless? Absolutely not! Though it is not classed with such gross sins as fornication, masturbation is surely an unclean habit. (Ephesians 4:19) The principles of God’s Word thus indicate that you “benefit yourself” by strongly resisting this unclean habit.—Isaiah 48:17.

      “Deaden, therefore, your body members,” urges the Bible, “as respects . . . sexual appetite.” (Colossians 3:5) “Sexual appetite” refers not to normal sexual feelings but to passion that is out of control. Such “sexual appetite” can thus lead to one’s indulging in gross acts, as described by Paul at Romans 1:26, 27.

      But does not masturbation “deaden” these desires? No, on the contrary, as one youth confessed: “When you masturbate, you dwell mentally on wrong desires, and all that does is increase your appetite for them.” Often an immoral fantasy is used to increase the sexual pleasure. (Matthew 5:27, 28) Therefore, given the right circumstances, one could easily fall into immorality. This happened to one youth, who admits: “At one time, I felt that masturbation could relieve frustration without my getting involved with a female. Yet I developed an overpowering desire to do so.” He committed fornication. Not surprisingly, a nationwide study revealed that the majority of adolescents who masturbated were also committing fornication. They outnumbered those who were virgins by 50 percent!

      Masturbation also instills certain attitudes that are mentally corrupting. (Compare 2 Corinthians 11:3.) When masturbating, a person is immersed in his or her own bodily sensations—totally self-centered. Sex becomes separated from love and is relegated to a reflex that releases tension. But God intended that sexual desires be satisfied in sexual relations—an expression of love between a man and his wife.—Proverbs 5:15-19.

      A masturbator may also tend to view the opposite sex as mere sex objects—tools for sexual satisfaction. Wrong attitudes taught by masturbation thus defile one’s “spirit,” or dominant mental inclination. In some cases, the problems caused by masturbation persist even after marriage! For good reason, God’s Word urges: “Beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit.”—2 Corinthians 7:1.
