For those of you asking how it happens "involuntarily" it can and does. I'm referring to when guys go to sleep, which is when it happens. Thought 9 times out of a time a dream is involved, but not always.

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Efs 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Efs 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Efs 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

Hi Faniehennig.
I was wondering if when you write if you could explain what your saying to the teens. I think I'm reasonably smart but when I read your posts I'm always totally confused what your saying. I'm just thinking that maybe for our benefit it would help if you wrote a bit more simply or explained the actual verses you quote. Otherwise your good efforts are lost on us...well me at least

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

A warning to all who is whoring after the fleshly lusts!
You do not Know God, you are not born from above.
Are You fit to be a king in God's kingdom?
Your mind is filled with filthy desires - Are You a holy temple of God Almighty?

No sinner shall ever enter in heaven, except those who truly repented.

What about believing in Jesus Christ being the sole condition for eternal life? (Jn 3:16)

We must realize, that at that point in history, it was believed that the father, and the father only, contributed what we would today call the genetic make up of the child. What they called the male seed was regarded as containing an entire nascent human being. As a consequence, they regarded any wastage of the seed as tatamount to murder. This explains why masturbation, coitus interuptus and even wet dreams were considered to be serious sins. The role of the woman was solely that of providing the warm nurturing environment for the developing child. She had no genetic contribution to make.

OK but - well obviously at that point in history they were wrong coz we now know that a persons genes are a result of Meiosis of male and female....so... how are we meant to now view those verses?

I had quite a trouble getting rid of masturbation, you think it's just innocent pleasure until you try to stop it, you realise too late it's an addiction and you live by the flesh and not by the spirit.
Here's my tought on this, it is normal as a young man going trough puberty to know his body, but an easy access to porn and lusty things going on tv and other medias will make this into an habit and it will become an addiction.
my advice is to fast and pray, pray everytime you want to do it. the fasting will help you control your body.
Good luck, god bless you, our cause is worthy of the sacrifice of this sin (because it is one)

Think about God that watches you in every moment,
so you'll be able to stop acting like that.
