A brother must become adept and averting his eyes. It can and must become second nature to us who live in wanton and lascivious societies.

Praise God for giving nothing but His brst! I will wait untill the right man comes and desire no man that can not give me what I need in marriage, praise God for opening my eyes! In accordance with this word and proverbs 5:18-20, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 I bind to hell desiring marriage with any ungodly man lusting after other women while not delighting in me alone and binding myself to desire a marriage with a godly man delightibg in me alone while not lusting after otger women, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone lacking desire to delight in me alone in marriage while lusting after aother women, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤.

thank you for these videos!

So is eating a candy bar also sinful because it doesn't bring anyone to God and is in fact bad for you, and can not masturbation be used to glorify God, similar to dancing, as a type of worship? Without lustful thoughts, the pleasure can't be shared towards God in reverence, similar to how eating a candy bar can be done in thankfulness for it's flavor? I legit don't know the answer, I am not advocating for or against it, only that it does not make sense to me when you apply the same logic to other self pleasuring activities that have no benefit, like eating candy or just generally having fun, like luxuries that don't accomplish anything other than to serve as pleasurable activities, like riding a rollercoaster.

Amen

was feeling my mind go down the path of temptation, so I searched for you on here. It's just the kick in the pants we need!

Wish I knew this before, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much easier and potent now!

You know, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much easier and potent now!

I have had to deal with this same problem all of my life. It began early on in my childhood from the stimulation achieved when shinnying up the support poles of the slides on the playground at elementary school. During that same period I developed a fetish for articles of my Aunt's clothing and would use them in the same manner. The devil is bent on corrupting and destroying us and shows no respect to the age it occurs at only that it happens!

Almost every new testament author was Paul, a very conflicted man.

Hello there, my Fr. recommended to fix the underlying source of the problem of consumption. For me that’s not doing enough and having the right mindset. Consumption is getting better but I keep failing. Is that what the verse means in order to escape, to stop failing? And, is destruction exclusively for lustful desires, or can it be for desires of status?

an explanation of each of these verses would have been better especially about gouging out your eye!

Not helpful for the person that has access to a beautiful life and seeks out porn because it’s easier than to maintain a relationship

Thank you for explaining Jesus's teachings to us that he learned from his Father, Jehovah. It reminds me of the scripture in James 1:27, to keep oneself frome being polluted by the world. That is what all of these social media platforms are, pollution from the world. We take risks when we are on them to watch videos like this and to learn, but if we have faith in Jehovah and His son, Jesus Christ, we can conquer the world. Just as Jesus did.

Sir, I am addicted to thses things for these things for last 8 to 9 years. I don't know how to stop doing it again

What percentage of the books of the New Testament warn against the sin of murder?

If I had the wife God has for me then I wouldn’t struggle anymore. Please pray for me. God bless.

Staying away from every immorality is important.

The delivery of this made me giggle. Read your Bible people!!!!

This popped up in my feed and I gave it a watch. Good topic and one that needs to be talked about. Something to think about though, your title emphasizes the 'why', yet you spend 3:30 of your 3:50 video citing all the places the warnings occur and then ending with 'because God cares about your purity'. Of course that is true, but uninformative. I would like to hear more of your why. How does it impact your view of the world and God's kingdom. Is it a gateway to greater transgressions and a slippery slope that will make it harder to come back from other things. Can it normalize your view of things in the world that shouldn't be normalized. That sort of thing. Cite the references in your writeup and give me 3:50 of your personal experiences and theological perspectives. I look forward to your next video.

Then why isnt masturbation mentioned by name like adultery, fornication, homosexuality, etc?

Lust I understand, but where does scripture ban masturbation? And don’t use Onan, his sin was not impregnating his sister-in-law.

Those who are struggling with this kind of addiction, It may look impossible to quit, (and it is impossible to fight with your own strength). Just make a decision with repentance, tell to God, I will not do it again, submit to God repenting, fully trusting in Him that He is able to deliver. (and consider yourself dead to this sin). God delivered me from the addiction in 2020

Thank God for His deliverance power in my life.

Thank you for sharing, so candidly, your own experience. Brother, you are valued.

Amen. Perpetuating the language of addiction only perpetuates the thinking of addiction.

Your clinical "anti" teaching totally ignores the sexual dysfunction and age-related problems that can cause misery and frustration for older, moral, married Christians. Here's something else to consider. I have no need to explain the catastrophe that could result when a seductive 'Christian' woman repeatedly tries to entice intimacy with a moral, non-sexually active, frustrated man. These things happen. Better surely for self-pleasure to be used before such an impending encounter results in a sudden and disastrous lack of self-control and its consequences. Sex works like that. (Works the other way round too). The lack of depth of your message is WAY too simplistic. Please at least be realistic: and remember who invented sex in the first place.

I've had so many sins I'm just gonna trust in Jesus Christ to save me. I don't do a very good job of it myself. I'm sure there's a lot of Christians that can save themselves but I can't.

Well men got married at 14 and died at 25,wasnt to much time for these things,and privacy was but a dream

Also, masturbation, does not have to be a matter of faith just like taking a shower, eating or going to the gym are not. Masturbation is not sin, and refraining from it can cause significant damage to our bodies and mind.

The argument of silent of the bible regarding masturbation is not extrictly about the silence but about why it is silent. "Exhibitionism, voyeurism, obscene phone calls and sexual sadism, frotteurism", these acts are easily by common sense considered sin because they violate the privacy, physical well-being or moral safety of other persons. It is well known that damage to other persons, from ancient biblical times was considered sin and retributable with damage to the one who caused them. The law in Exodus 21: 23-25 is considered an example for every type of sin mentioned or not mentioned that could cause harm to others: (As you say, the Bible couldn't possibly be large enough to mention every forbidden or authorized act) 23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, 24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. Plus, the acts that you mention here were not existent, or not common in biblical times. In the case of Frotteurism, it could have very well been considered an aspect of rape which was surelly mentioned and condemed in the bible. But masturbation by its physiological and psychological nature has always been a known common practice that regularly, does not involve customary and direct damage to other persons, but is a private, hiden, and personal practice in most cases. Now, if masturbation would have been an area of interest for the Jewish people or God, the very comon and frequent aspect of it, and the fact that it was debateable in certain times would have been brought up and mentioned as sinful or not. So, it is not because of the silent, but because of the reason for the silent.

Lol. The god delusion. The bible has some truth but is mostly fiction. The truth is all around you . There is no evidence that proves the supernatural claims made in the bible. When good things happen god is good. When bad things happen god is mysterious. For every answered or good outcome of prayer there are millions of unanswered or bad outcomes of prayer. From equally faithful god loving people. It just doesn't add up. And there are many religions. Are they all right? Are some right and some wrong? Or are they all wrong?

Lust of the flesh. The battle is Spirit vs flesh deny the flesh, crucify the flesh in order to obey The Spirit. Anything we don’t feel comfortable doing in front of Jesus we should not do (period full stop)

The bible doesn't say anything about not grooming and assaulting children. Is that why the clergy does it?

Did Jesus say so. No its you crazy religious nuts

Every porn blocker have a loophole

God hates any form of sexual immorality. But this adulterous generation is extremely difficult to live with because sexual content is everywhere. It depends on person to person, and not everyone has similar level of desire, but man I falter and standup, again falter but standup,

I’m sorry I’m not going to marry someone just so I won’t have sexual urges. That’s not the kind of marriage that would last very long if that’s all there is.

Paul, who wrote this letter to the Corinthians, had never met Jesus, and wrote this years after Jesus's death. How does he know that this is Jesus's opinion?

You can’t just go out and marry someone just because you have a sexual urge. You can’t just snap your fingers and wall-a! I’m married, let’s have sex. What does Paul say about dating, you know- before you get married. Gotta try it on before you buy it, right?! Apparently, this guy hasn’t been paying attention to how difficult things are these days when it comes to dating and marriage. It’s a very expensive enterprise to say the least. I think God is fine with it as long as you aren’t hurting yourself or someone else. Hell it’s probably good for the prostate. We’re human- God understands this. Some people just get too wound up about stuff.

1Corinthians 7:8-9 is not about masturbation but about avoiding fornication which is described in 1 Corinthians 7:2; Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. The self-control is not having sex with someone you are not married to and not about masturbation.

Seems like a vicious circle to those who can't marry like me. I know lust is sin, that isn't the issue. Basically if you are not able to practice self control fully, you are to marry, even though you can't?

That constant asking all too often becomes the excuse for not repenting. “Well, I asked God for strength to quit… but He must not have given it to me yet!” It’s infuriating to hear people speak like this.

What is the point of getting married to prevent you from getting wrapped up in sexual immorality when 25 to 33% of marriages are sexless? So don't get married and risk dealing with sexual immorality or get married and risk dealing with some form of sexual immorality. It's a loose loose situation.

A dear friend, about 20 years ago, learned one night that through the internet he could find literally any fantasy he wanted, displayed for little to no effort. He was immediately determined to pluck that whole temptation out of his life. He disconnected and never looked back. Got rid of his internet service. I still admire him for that.

Amen! "Cease to do evil, learn to do well..." It's both.

I also find it telling that you will condemn what mutually consenting adults do when it comes to creating or watching pornography, but not examples in the Bible of the Israelites slaughtering other tribes and taking their young girls as war brides. Imagine your family being killed and then being sexually coerced by a member of the conquering force. No woman can meaningfully give consent in those circumstances. How is THAT for sexual immorality?

Aside from the non sequitur nature of your argument, you seem to forget that the Bible, and the Old Testament in particular, does not categorically condemn sex outside of marriage. Many Old Testament patriarchs and kings had concubines in addition to a wife, and the Bible writers did not condemn each of those instances.

More in depth videos on combatting porn through fasting, prayer and manual labor. John classism is a good read on this

It is so, so difficult in this world that deceives and tempts you at every turn. But, at least there is something here that gives someone a chance to change. To turn away from the bad stuff that this world offers you as a human being. Thanks for highlighting this issue. Had to be said.
