Christian

[bmurray46]

So I'm a Christian but I jerk off about my gf (also a Christian) all the time and I feel like that could be wrong or my strict Christian parents would be angry if they ever caught me. Advice?

You're fine. Sure, your parents might think differently, but there isn't anything wrong with masturbating. It's a completely normal and natural thing to do, especially at your age. Try not to worry about it too much. And have fun :P

I hear you, I'm a christian and I jerk off to your girlfriend too. (jk) but I jerk off to current crushes and stuff. If my parents found out they'd probably be angry then continue to make fun of me for the rest of my life. Its alright to do though, theres nothing wrong with it. God won't send you to Hell for it for he has already forgiven you for doing it. All of your sins were forgiven by him once Jesus was crucified on the cross. If that is what you were worrying about. Family will probably be angry at first, maybe ground you for a week, then over time they'll probably just laugh about it...

The bible is clear that spilling your seed is a sin (Gen. 38:9), so you must never ever masturbate.
However, the bible also says that rape , including gang rape, are perfectly OK (Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Gen. 19:4-11, and others), so that's one way you could relieve yourself and still be a true Christian.

Just because it is a sin doesn't mean you don't have to masturbate. God forgave all of your sins once Jesus was crucified on the cross. It doesn't mean to just go around sinning all the time, I mean there are many Christians who have problems with Adultery and other addictions, but they ask for forgiveness and that supposedly makes your sins go away. I just ask for forgiveness before I go to sleep and it makes me feel better and not guilty. In the Old Testament(Old Covenant) you had to sacrifice an animal to forgive your sins so i can see why it was so bad. But I don't remember where, but it is the New Covenant(testament) that we are living under now and he has forgiven our sins in advance once you let him into your life. Again, I have no idea what verse it is in, but it is in there...

The first first describes "onanism" which is different then masturbation and neither verse says that it's alright to rape. It all depends on how you read or were taught the bible but that's defenitally not alright. Also the old testament is much different the the new, including the new covenant. I just feel like what I'm doing is wrong because it's in lust but I don't know how not to do that

Your original post made me read up on this issue, BMurray46, and I just read about Onanism too. I was reading this page, which is kind of an interesting discussion:

I don't think that you can do it without lust. Maybe if you do it so much you just develop a habit and don't think about it. But I heard that God already knows your sins. Every one of them. And he has already forgiven you. I suggest you just thank him for forgiving after. It might make you feel better or less guilty.

Seriously? Why don't you guys live a little, and not pray after you masturbate. Nothing will happen, you won't go to hell, and I'm sure your god would forgive you when you die for such a small thing if he's so understanding.

I've actually read that same article several months ago it's just hard to not fantasize especially when I have a girlfriend who can turn me on without even trying

But dont worry about it haha, its normal.

Now Im an atheist but that is just wrong and screwed up it would say thats okay in the bible! Its a freaking crime for a reason and just morally wrong, I think its worse than murder actually but what the heck... That... Just no!

It's not that He's not forgiving its that your doing something wrong and you know it but you do it anyways. That's basically just being like I'm gonna go steal something then be like forgive me and do it the next day. That's just using God as a scapegoat

I understand what you mean about just using it as a scapegoat, but if thats the reason you feel you shouldn't jerk off. I'll just tell you something. 95% of men ADMIT to it. Which could mean more do it. Fewer MARRIED CHRISTIAN men admit to it (61%). Masturbation also may decrease the risk of prostate cancer in men. You see its completely normal. It could possibly even be helpful. I find those facts helpful. I still do also ask for forgiveness at the end of the day. Hopefully you feel better now knowing those.

Yea but isn't a wet dream spilling your seed too? BEAT DAT! Not saying I'm against god but think about it, I remember my step-mom saying the Bible is MANY years old and has been translated and changed etc. what I'd some homophobe or someone just wanted to put that in the bible about not masturbating or other sex stuff… Not to be mean to god if god actually said that but think about it, Bibles being released today aren't made by god, they are being made by humans.
