Is masturbation un-Christian?

What is familiar is what we are used to;and what we are used to is most difficult to KNOW--that is.to see as a problem;that is to see as strange,as distant as outside us.

Your not suppose to indulge in the flesh. But I say go for it anyway. Any religion that doesnt allow self-love I want no part in!

I would argue that masturbation doesn't curb lust, it fuels it. The biblical response to temptation is to focus the mind on spiritual things, not to find alternate means of indulgence. This sounds unrealistic from a human standpoint, but Christians are supposed to believe in a God that empowers his people with supernatural grace to follow his commands.

 

hahahahaha

 

I do consider that to be unrealistic, in the extreme. Not only that, but it is not healthy to surpress sexual feelings, burying them under spirituality (or anything else, surpression of anything isn't healthy). But if you want to try that route, that's cool. I'd rather live without all that sexual tension.

 

Seeking without worthyness is arrogance concealed.
Very many are seekers of opinion and very few are seekers of knowledge for even
opinion seekers' ability to recognize knowledge is muddled by our Gracious Lord.

Occult medicine-sellers:
Do not run hither and thither
From scoffers to uninitiated ramblers
But rather sit at the booth
Of the one who has the real remedy to give!'

Don't be soo.. affraid of sexual tension as to take it to a fault.
You can do it!Everything is only hard at the start,you'll see.
God is asking for your best efforts.He deserves it and really
desires it from everyone.No one gets left out if they only
would put their minds to HIM.

 

i want to cry... i'm serious... i know it's my fault for checking obviously christian threads in the first place but... holy shit people... i really can't believe that you adhere yourselves to this bullshit! honestly... i have nothing "constructive" to say to christians anymore... it all just bounces off of them, in my experience. i try to be polite and sympathetic but nothing gets through. it's like they can't hear me... they dont want to hear that there's strong evidence that their religion is bad for people and it's out of its use in politics that it has survived and is as rampant as it is today (<--very very broad statment)

and i'm so sickof all that blind faith bullshit. doesn't that "rule" seem just a little too convenient? what it's saying is that you shouldn't THINK about ANYTHING... i care about this because i care about the type of people who surround me and in mankto, mn, there are a lot of fucking christians.

...i'm going for a walk.

If you were to ask the catholic church...

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because
