Okay then heres my question. I am really curious as to your answer. If you read the Leviticus quote, it talks about semen being on clothing and the women... if the only sex that is allowed is straight intercourse, than why is this mentioned?
If you have straight intercourse, the semen will remain inside the woman. However, if you do not, it will fall on clothing etc. as in the scripture. So my question is, why does the verse say this, if only straight intercourse is allowed?
Actually i answered your question which was the starting question of the thread,at the same time when i posted the other comments earlier in this thread.Because i had some net connection prob, the comment was not posted.
So here it goes,
As i wrote in that comment earlier which will answer about masturbation also.
lust of flesh is a delicate issue..
masturbation is a sin!
Holy Scripture supports only straight intercourse and God only honors such,because it is done for pro-creation and its a Glorious act that God honors between husband and wife.Orgies are not allowed,so is self pleasure...(masturbation)..its applicable to men,women,....boys,girls-who are teenagers..
Natural way:a man's fluid must go out(if in excess)without doing it by self,if not having sexual intercourse.
bad habits can be cured by God's help,that's why God is providing Grace to help us where we cannot.
Natural sex is - man's face to women's face and bottom part respectively to the bottom part,...no other way.
Those who have probs dealing with this must ask to God for forgiveness and do it like God means it...
What you pointed out from Leviticus is true and your doubts are not doubts,its time to confirm them.
Yes,its a sin before God to not clean oneself for long time from stain and, also using or letting such stained clothes remain for a long time.And since that was in OT,judgement was sudden.But in NT,Grace of God(in Holy Spirit) is there to Forgive ignorance and attitude probs,..but its not a license.
we must change our old ways,...but some attitudes might not be easy to put out as addiction sometimes has its deep roots.So is the case for those who do self pleasure(irrespective of genders).i know its not easy as i said it.
This is where condemnation preachers go wrong..
If it wasn't for Jesus,i would have perished long time ago getting mixed in this world.Since am an artist temptation is many times fold than normal people.
...But God's Grace revealed itself in time that God is seeing my efforts to be with God.i came this far by His Grace,Jesus alone is the reason i survive today,..and i am running for the Glorious dawn in Heaven being there despite probs i face.
Deliverance came one by one when i surrendered myself
(i realized at that point in time God still Loves me even if no one else cares) to God's hands,still getting freed from many things which is unbelievable for me...and that too without struggle,because God is in control
In OT,many famous men of God like King David,Gideon,Abraham,etc had many wives.But they never promoted any kind of orgies.
they Honored God.In NT,since the emphasis is for journey to Heaven,Aims are different and Sanctification is on a Higher level and,
not sinning and making excuses.Polygamy is not allowed,and orgies or self pleasure or lusting in mind is even not allowed.
But,
God is Merciful if we go to Him as we are and,
pour out our heart to Him revealing 'its not within us to get out from tempting situations and weakness in flesh'.For this is what we are provided with
'Anointing of the Holy Spirit'.
Getting Strengthened in Holy Spirit separates us from the world and prepares us for Heaven.
And the main issue is self pride.When that is slowly removed,rest which are hanging on that bad attitude
(Which made adam disobey in the first place.Saying this to give not much importance to 'lust of flesh' which is not the core prob.When we give credit for something bad that doesn't deserve it,it scares us,
..so is the case with the devil...)we have will be plucked out one by one by God.
Learn to walk in Godly Humility,its not easy..but
God will teach when we seek Him more..
Hope i cleared some of the doubts you have related to what you asked.
Medical probs with orgies and self pleasure(masturbation):
twisted thinking,memory loss,unhealthy habits,conscience pricking,etc..
Rest in the list too ugly to talk about since orgies are demonically influenced.
(Where God's Presence is not there,demons-evil spirits comes in...so don't go 'what?thats silly' on what i said..)
am not perfect,but on the way to Perfection that God has seen in me by His Grace(not by my smartness and He leads)
Running only for that and keeping and giving it the prime importance in life...
Learn to do that,sinning will become less(no matter what,even vain talk)
(
somethings takes time,yes i have to admit,still learning so many things)
if you have doubts,please ask and we will discuss within limits.
And don't make any assumptions on me based on what i said here.
Discussion are healthier to clear doubts than moving along without talking and relying on wild guessing.
God Bless
and be sincere before God like this to know and Live in Holiness He demands.
our desperate efforts God honors,..
Then only He can change us to Good..
And best wieshes for your exams.
note:-
Ultimately,we start overcoming when we start shedding our self pride..
Yes,a sinless Prayer filled walk with Jesus is Possible if we put our heart into it seriously.
Look for Godly things and give it prime importance in your life.When we faint God will hold us and make us move on again...
