1 John2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. KJV
WHY MASTURBATION IS A SIN (A)
Some persons see stealing, adultery, fornication, murder and the likes as sin but they see masturbation differently. They see it as something you do to ease sexual tension without violating the will of a second party. When under sexual tension, some persons recommend masturbation instead of rape. If you're one of those holding on to any of the beliefs stated above to justify masturbation, we need to look at the subject together through the mirror of God's word.
The first reason why I know masturbation is a sin is because you cannot masturbate without sexual fantasies in your mind. It requires your mind being filled with dirty, filthy and rotten pictures. Lust drives masturbation. What did Jesus say about lust? But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart, Matthew 5:28 NLT. Lust disqualifies masturbation and makes it an act of iniquity.
Several times, i have read comments from people on some blogs about how some persons decided to masturbate upon seeing the semi-nude/nude picture of a lady. There's no neutral justification for this act, filth of the mind is involved and those involved know this but some are living in denial of the truth. Brother, if you're struggling with this perversion and want to be free, you must admit that it is a sin just as murder is. You need to pray the prayer of the Psalmist: Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalms 51:2,10 KJV.
