Masturbation is healthy

Don’t do either

Cmon now we both know the word “masturbate” is not in the Bible but there are several scriptures that tell us we are to keep ourselves pure and free from sexual immorality which is the general box masturbation is placed in. Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭ESV‬‬ - “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.” Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬ - “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” ‭‭ Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬ - “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

where in the bible does it say you cannot masturbate?

This is false. According to the Bible, masturbation falls under sexual immorality and is a sin not only against God, but against our own bodies. Watching porn, masturbating while watching porn, or without it is all sexual immorality. Instead of watching porn or masturbating we should submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. Masturbation is not natural, however we do suffer from a sinful nature, which the Bible tells us is because of the original sin of Adam and Eve. Although we have this inherent nature, God has given us a way to beat sin and has reconciled us back to himself through the death and resurrection of his son Jesus. Jesus paid a high price for the sins of all mankind and we have him as our great high priest and he understands the battles we fight with our sinful nature. He’s defending us, but we must go to him instead of this vice of pornography and masturbation. He is better than any sexual release and I know someone reading this may be craving a release but try going into prayer. Tell God you are weak and you need his strength to avoid temptation. He’s listening and will give you a way of escape. You have to want it and take it when it comes 🙏🏾 be blessed my brothers and sisters. I pray you stay in the fight and become even more serious about destroying this stronghold not only for yourself but for future generations after you.

Nah sex with your wife is normal/healthy. Masturbation is literally having sex with yourself… it maybe be better than porn but it’s not normal or right

That is the only mindset I would not consider a cult, actual critical thinking.

This is a horrible mindset

I’m finding that using my imagination is a better alternative than watching porn. I’ve started to have this weird frame of mind that watching porn will make you a cuck. If it’s not a POV video, you’re essentially in the room getting off by watching somebody get drilled because you want to be there.
