Holy cow, the kinds of things people think up. Haha. I'm amused in many ways by this thread. Anyway, masturbation isn't a sin. There isn't a single passage of scripture that even alludes to it. There are tons of laws condemning all sorts of sexual practices that I had never even heard of until I read those parts, and I would think that if God had a problem with masturbation, he wouldn't have hesitated to inspire Moses to write "Thou shalt not touch thyself." And I'm a Christian too. I appreciate your perspective. Although I just spoke to a friend of mine who is also a Christian (who I’ve been having that debate with), and he insists that anything done that involves spilling the seed without the possibility of procreation is sin. There's nothing in the Scripture that condemns spilling seed for no purpose. Your friend is probably pulling the Onan story out of context. I really don't see how anyone can get that meaning out of that story, bit they do, and it is silly. Onan was clearly punished for refusing to provide an heir for his brother, not for spilling his seed. Plus, if spilling seed were a sin, wet dreams would also be a sin, and I do not believe that sin can be accidental. |
