You see, Pastor Zeke was right when he said he could get you to stop thinking about girls!

Not good. God doesn't think much of this either.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

"If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

Slicing yourself up is very much defilement.

Leviticus 19:28

"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."

The answer is prayer, prayer and then more prayer.

In Christ.

Re: STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION

Hi all.
I am new here. Sorry if my english is not perfect, I am not american.

Its hard to write about my problem.
I am 26 years old, and I never was with girl, so I am still virgin.
I feel, that God wants to keep my virginity in my whole life, and I have to remain single, never marry.
This means, marriage is sin for me ?
Why God gave me celibacy, if the masturbation is still problem for me ?
Or marriage is taken from me because of my many masturbations ?
I want to stop masturbating, but it seems impossible. I tried anything to quit, but I always fell to sin.
I would wear a chastity device like I saw in other topic here, but it is too expensive for me.
Should I castrate myself, if I cannot resist ?

You are also an obsessive compulsive masturbator. The Bible is very clear on what you have to do about that. You have to rent a chainsaw and remove your hand! Mark 9:43 "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the firethat never shall be quenched". To be on the safe side you might want to remove both hands.

Also probably porn is getting the better of you. To make sure you stop staring at porn you now have to poke your own eyes out! The Bible is very clear on that: Mark 9:47 "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire". Since you can still see porn with one eye, you will have to poke both of them out.

And after you poked your eyes out and removed your hands you have to start reading your KJV1611 Holy Bible to prevent eternal damnation to Hell!

Nooo, please ... I cannot live without arms and eyes.
There is not other way ?? I don't want to cut off my arms and eyes.

Don't be a sissy and do the right thing. You will get them back once you are in Heaven.

Re: STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION

But If I promise now I'll never masturbate again, may I keep my body parts ?
It is hard to resist, but I rather resist than cut off my parts.
I don't want to go to Hell.

Marriage is allowed to me, or it is sin to me if God told I have to remain single ?

Friend,

Do you know what a eunuch is?
You really have to ask yourself: how serious am I about my Salvation(tm)?

Matthew 19:12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Well, are you able to receive it?

[Andrew777]

Re: STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION

I am very serious about my salvation, I don't want to get into Hell.
This verse means, If I want to go to Heaven, then marriage is prohibited to me ?
It is hard to accept celibacy, because I always wanted wife.
But my answer your question:
YES, I can recieve it.
"Eunuch" means, a man, who are not able to marry ? How to make myself eunuch ?

[Cranky Old Man]

Re: STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION

How to make myself eunuch ?

With an axe.

Re: STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION

Can someone practically help me to quit masturbation ?
Perhaps I need a very strict but fair mentor, who regularry warns me how great sin is the masturbation, and whom I bound to confess my masturbation if I do it. Then he hardly rebuke me.

This is my idea, because my problem is I live alone in my home, and nobody can see me. Perhaps if I renounce my privacy, it can help.

It would be great if someone help me who is very srtrict and don't know compromise.
I imagine that, He (the mentor) regularry ask me (in e-mails): did I touch my intimate parts ?, did I lust after sex or women ? did I look women with few clothes when I was out ?, etc ... etc.
And I would be bound to answer honestly, and if I did something bad, he guess punishment, depending on how great sin did I do.

And I didn't get answer about that marriage is sin for me or not, but if it is sin, the mentor will recall my duty, that Marriage is not for me, I have to forget it.

I love my parents, but they never disciplined me agains masturbation, never forbitted it.
Perhaps with a mentor, we should complete these misses.

God Bless You all
I hope, someone can help, it would be great.
