1. masturbation is lust, lusting is against the Bible
''But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent
has already committed adultery with her in his heart'' -- Matthew 5:28
'' But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.' --' Ephesian 5:3
''Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.'' -- 1 Corinthian 6:18
''Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.'' -- Colossians 3:5
Masturbation = Lust ---> Lust = Sin ---> therefore ---> Masturbation = Sin
I am sure with regards to Masturbation someone will say something ''what if I think of nothing when I masturbate'' there are many answers to that...
''or
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.'' -- Galatians 5:17
So, no masturbation.
Anyone to argue otherwise is a fool.
''Do not use foul or abusive language'' -- Ephesians 4:29
''But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and
obscene talk from your mouth'' -- Colossians 3:8
You most certainly shouldn't curse.
'' Or do you not know that the unrighteous[a] will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.'' -- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." -- Leviticus 20:13
''and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error'' -- Romans 1:27
Yes, Homosexuality is wrong.
loneliness sucks, I know. and depression, that sucks too.
Yes not good. Suffering for Christ is good though.
''Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.'' -- Acts 5:41
''If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.'' -- 1 Corinthians 15:19
''For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him,'' -- Philippians 1:29
There is a lot more scripture on it, but I have already quoted a few.
If you look at the scripture I have already posted, I am sure you will find the answer which is... no. Although admittedly there is not much scripture with much relation to drugs so....
harmful drugs = NO
recreational drugs = probably not, if in doubt, don't do it
Amen, true that!
God Bless You All! xx
