Who Am I To Judge On Sexual Behavior Of Other People?
What does the bible say about masturbation?
In one word: nothing is said in the book of books.
Looks god’s management did found out later how to control his followers minds by controlling this detail of mother nature too.
For a trivial reason, giving them a reason to follow.
For having a marching army of real bodies they aim right into their hearts, their minds.
They claim to know what is best in dealing with mother nature.
Where might be masturbation in the bible?
Two key passages might describe the physical act of masturbation. Although these aren’t explicit by any means.
Genesis 38:9-10: The Sin of Onan. bible interpreters have often pointed to Genesis 38:9-10 as the principal text about masturbation: “But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his, so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he released his semen on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.” What he did was evil in the lord’s sight, so he put him to death also. Onan released his semen on the ground on the ground to avoid having a child with his dead brother’s wife. God judged him for what he did, declaring it wicked. Many christians understand “releasing semen on the ground” to be masturbation. However, some theologians have pointed out that nothing in the passage suggests that Onan was touching himself. To the contrary, Onan simply stopped having intercourse before he ejaculated. Onan sinned by avoiding the responsibility god gave him to have children with his brother’s widow. In any case, “onanism” now refers to masturbating. Whether or not that’s the point of the text, it’s been an important part of the discussion for christians throughout history.
Leviticus 15: Laws About Sexual Cleanliness: You might consider Leviticus 15 an awkward section of the bible. It’s an entire chapter about sexual cleanliness, specifically dealing with bodily fluids. Verses 2-3 say: “When any man has a discharge from his member, he is unclean. This is uncleanness of his discharge: Whether his member secretes the discharge or retains it, he is unclean.” It’s talking about semen, of course. The chapter delineates various circumstances in which a man might have a seminal emission and the proper procedure for handling this under Jewish laws. Verses 16-17 “When a man has an emission of semen, he is to bathe himself completely with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. Any clothing or leather on which there is an emission of semen is to be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.” The passage has separate sections talking about these emissions during sexual intercourse, other emissions a man might have, as well as guidelines for women on their periods. It doesn’t specify laws for someone who is intentionally pleasuring himself versus having a wet dream. Notably, all sexual activity produces ceremonial uncleanliness for the Israelites—even sexual activity that is clearly encouraged in marriage. Therefore, this passage teaches us that god takes our sexual activity seriously, but it doesn’t necessarily instruct christians about masturbation.
Sin or not sin, a false discourse
The bible doesn’t explicitly say that masturbating is a sin. Even thinking about sin or not sin means: falling for a false discourse. However, by applying the bible’s teaching … masturbating is sinful in more or less all situations? Even if it’s not sinful in every possible circumstance, biblical wisdom teaches that christians should avoid habitual masturbation? Not logic. If you feel out of control, be encouraged, you can quit? You don’t have to live in bondage to habitual masturbation? Building first a not logic reason means theirs only the bondage of anti-body ideology that wants you to make you a – remember – a follower. You don’t need to identify your triggers. Is it pornography, or even non-pornographic content, that’s triggering your masturbation? For many people, the triggers are not sexual. It may be boredom, loneliness, or frustration? Deal with sexual your tension. Removing the triggers will not help. What does the bible say about masturbation? Nothing! Sin or not, a false discourse. Enjoy a pleasureful life. Follow your own. Live and let live is the only wisdom needed.
