Masturbation without watching porn and without thinking about anyone else than just yourself and your own body
There is nothing in all of Scriptures that teach masturbation is sinful. If anyone teaches that it is they do not know the Truth. Now what is sinful is what one thinks about when they masturbate. If they are lusting, it is sinful, if they are thinking evil thoughts it is sinful, if they are looking upon the nakedness of someone who is not their spouse, they commit sin. Masturbation without any lusting is not sinful.
Gambling and lottery[/QUOTE]
The Holy Ghost will convict a person if this is sinful or not. If a person plays in order to win money is that not greed, which is a sin. If a person plays to win to donate ALL of it to charity, how is that Greedy? Again, if you are feeling guilty about doing so, then it is probably sinful for you. if you wondering if it is sinful or not, it is probably sinful for you because whatsoever is not done of Faith is sinful
Worrying[/QUOTE]
We are to Trust God and not worry. However there is a difference from worrying and being concerned. Worrying about anything that you can't change or do anything about is what i personally think is sinful
Anxiety[/QUOTE]
Jesus experienced anxiety in the garden before He was crucified. that was not sinful.
Depression[/QUOTE]
True depression is a mental illness, chemical imbalances in the mind. not sinful
Fearing[/QUOTE]
Depends what is being feared. we are to fear no man what they can do to us, but we are to fear Him who is able to punish us and take from us (God) To fear God is the beginning of knowledge. Those who do not fear God, do not know Him. Those who fear God walk the straight and narrow, knowing that when they knowingly and willing sin, they will reap what they sow exactly as God said they would, they will be punished, they will reap for the bad that they have done.
Lying in emergency (for example, if a murderer is looking for your friend, you have to save your friends life by lying to the murderer, and also if someone is about to bully you, then you have to lie so they don't bully you)
Are these things sins?[/QUOTE]
Lying to protect anothers LIFE is a grey area
But it is written that all liars shall burn in the Lake of fire and brimstone (Rev 21:8) If a person tells one lie to protect someone else, they are not considered to be a liar. a Liar is one who continues to lie. Someone who lies once ever three years would not be considered a Liar. But someone who lies once a week continually would be considered a Liar. No liar will be taken up with Jesus when He Returns for His chosen few.
