Masturbation
Nowadays in the societies have
risen into view extremely powerfully sex and the sexuality of the
people. Because of this masturbation has risen into view also in the
congregations. Among believers, nowadays masturbation is matter, which
distributes opinions on behalf of the matter, and against it. This
question is matter, which is so important, that I decided to write, that how
I understand this matter.
The sex is the gift of God
Sexuality
and sex of the people is the gift of God to man and woman. Practising
of sex belongs only to the marriage in other words permanent relationship of
man and woman. All kinds of other practising of the sex is sin according
teaching of the Bible. The sex is beautiful and lovely gift, which God
has meant, that this function of sex must happen inside of the marriage.
The sex belongs
between man and woman
God
has so regulated sexuality between the man and the woman.
Practising of the sex is not so meant to practise alone, but between the man
and the woman. Task of the man is satisfy his wife sexual needs and the
task of the wife is to satisfy sexual needs of her husband. Like this
sexual needs of the man and wife comes satisfy. The sex is not so
meant to practise alone. The masturbation is so sin and very selfish,
because its purpose is only produces selfishly sexual satisfaction for
itself.
The
masturbation rises from the lust of the flesh, which bring along often and
almost without exception also the following matters: many satisfy themselves
by watching indecent porn magazines and porn movies. Jesus said:
"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Person in the
masturbation try to get himself good sexual feelings, which he/she is unable
to do as the mere mechanical delivery, but he/she forcibly thinks about and
create in his mind or is watching pictures about the woman or man or then
he/she imagines he/she is with someone in the sexual act. Masturbation
is sin, because the practising of the sex is according to the Bible, between
man and woman, which scene is permanent relationship marriage.
The masturbation
teaches person extremely selfish sexual behaviour. Masturbation
continue often self satisfying yet in the marriage. The masturbation
continues so for the many yet in the marriage with two different ways:
1.
As the learnt habit, in which yet in the marriage satisfied own sexual needs
by way of the own hand.
2.
For the example when man has learnt to self satisfy only his own need, so he
in the marriage satisfy himself with body of wife, but no have the
ability to satisfy his wife sexual needs and leave his wife needs
unsatisfied.
Masturbation
can so bring problems to the sex life of the marriage, from which spouse has
to suffer. For example even though in this manner; has been learnt to
satisfy only own needs, but the spouse is left without sexual
satisfaction. This can lead also to the such temptation of the spouse,
that he starts to looking bed companion for him/herself outside his/her
marriage. The masturbation can so cause considerable problems also to
life of marriage. In the marriage comes to reject selfish sex and to
invest to the fact, that sexual needs of the spouse must satisfied.
1
Cor 7:2
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and
let every woman have her own husband.
Ps
119:9
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto
according to thy word.
John
1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on his name:
Bible teaches that
we must avoid immorality sins in the marriage or keeping it as clean
with the help of word of God and with His Spirit, each believer, get power
against sin through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Incorrect
interpretations
Some
defend the masturbation of the women thus, that the genitals of the woman
have been made thus, so that in the ordinary sexual intercourse woman is
almost impossible to get orgasm. However, God created to the man and
woman genitals, with help of genitals man and woman can experience also
sexual satisfaction, which ends to the orgasm.
If
woman don't get orgasm in the ordinary sexual intercourse so reason there is
usually the incompetence of the man. Task of the man is satisfy his
wife sexual needs. When man noticed his wife and use time in
love-making, so of course then also the wife can have orgasm. So man as
also woman has to invest to the sex life, so that sex life is
satisfying. Healthy and that we take attention our spouses sexual needs
in sex life brings satisfaction to marriage also to both party and not
then neither need to practise masturbation.
Resist
the spirit of lust and immorality
The sexuality of
a man is one of most powerful impulse of life. Each boy and girl and
man and woman have to face their own sexuality. God gives to believer
the Holy Spirit, which with the help we can fight against lust of the flesh
and masturbation. Bible teaches, that we get to fight against the sin,
whereby our flesh has to suffer, because our flesh wants to commit a
sin. But with the help of word of God and the Holy Spirit, we can
win our lust's. Fight so in the Holy Spirit and ask God help you to get
loose from the masturbation and to win the sin of the masturbation. Do
not disheartened, just fight against your lust's, so finally you will get
victory from your lust's.
From
to freeing of masturbation can sometimes take the long time, but do not
disheartened, just ask God to help you, so that you will learn how to resist
this sin.
We
know that our flesh is weak, that's why we don't accuse anybody in the matter
of masturbation, but we tried get to help them from the lust of the
flesh to the freedom of Christ. We must understand, that the flesh of
the man is really weak and not have the ability to resist sin by his/her own
power, but fortunately Jesus Christ helps us.
The
man wants generally defend sin, because he/she him/herself caught to this sin
and can't get rid of that sin. The Bible teaches believers to take as
spiritual weapon similar mind as were with Jesus Christ.
Forasmuch
then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise
with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from
sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the
flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 1 Peter 4:1,2
If we will agree
to fight and to suffer against lust of the flesh, so the Holy
Spirit then dies in us lust of the flesh and give us victory when lust
of the flesh tease us. Then we get from the grace of God to live
according to will of God, and not according to the lust of the flesh.
We
are under the grace in the new covenant, but to the grace covenant belongs
sanctification life. Paul writes in the letter of Titus chapter 2: "For
the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching
us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"
We
want naturally as the believers to help people, but I don't at least not want
to help thus, that even though I know how weak flesh is, so because of
weakness of the flesh we can't say sin for righteousness, but sin is sin and
destroys man. Flesh of the man is weak and that's why we can't accuse
nobody from the masturbation, but we have to help and to support people, who
suffer from this matter.
God
offers to the weak flesh filled work of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit,
which give power to the weak flesh resists a sin.
As
purpose of this writing is not accuse anybody, but to help people to reject
unhealthy sex habits. If you have difficulties on this in the area of
the masturbation, so pray, that God leads to you with same sex
believer, who is mature believer, who can support and help you to get freedom
from this matter. God bless you and remember Jesus loves you and wants
to help you and bring to you freedom from masturbation.

Paavola
