You mean Romans 14:14, not John 14:14 which is talking about something else.
Romans 14:14 is referring to disputable matters such as food or drink and holiday, NOT to sexual ethics. Masturbation falls under sexual immorality and impurity.
You really want to press your luck with God promoting masturbation to Christians??? I'm telling you it's not worth the low salary for trying to corrupt them....
He's trying so hard to corrupt Christians, that he even lied about the Bible verse being in the book of John, instead of book of Romans.
We really are in perilous times. Christians have to be on their guard about people like him who want to corrupt and apostate us.
Please, Christians! Stick close to Jesus and love His truth. They will both protect you from people who want you to break faith with Him!
Yeah, Callahan was Good to, love the way he got rid of the creeps.
Go ahead punk make my day haha, so many people use still use that saying, I liked the one where he trained a female boxer to,
he's done so many good movies, you know your going to get a good movie to watch when Clint comes on the TV.
A bit like Kevin Costner, he's probably my favourite American actor.
That guy is just so cool, one of those people whom can really make you feel safe,
To many good movies to count with him.
Lol I looked at your alert comment come up in my alert panel and I thought no thanks I'm not going back in there.
I thought this thread was well finished.
In the last days, the great apostasy will be a massive falling away from the faith by Christians. You don't even have to officially renounce being a Christian, you just have to fall for and believe false doctrine or teaching that will veer you away from true salvation.
And that's what satan is doing right now - trying to get us to break faith and fall away from God so that we are too weak to discern and resist his antichrists, especially the final one.
We rarely agree on anything, but I will gladly say this to your post.... WINNER!!
A real eye-opener, surprising, alarming, that's putting it mildly!Please read the posts in this entire thread - their blindness and seared consciences surprised me. Then it really alarmed me that they encouraged other Christians to do it (Matthew 18:6)
Actual evidence that the Falling Away is now happening at breakneck speed! Just when you think you're tracking it, it shifts into overdrive & leaves you standing still.
It's time we learn the truth about the strength of masterbation addiction. It is medically listed as a dopamine addiction. Investigate it thoroughly .
Morally & spiritually, the only dopamine addiction that is NOT a sin is sex in marriage between a man & a woman.
Yep satan will be satan alright, best not to listen to him really, best thing to do is to say nothing if you hear his temptations, he just another one of those who like to have religious arguments, and also I believes he likes to rid a person of every good moral.In the last days, the great apostasy will be a massive falling away from the faith by Christians.

He's very good at staring up hatred up in the heart...
The Good thing about being Christian is you get to know the devil's plans and how he thinks, when he's near, not to mention all his hidden agendas and plots behind all his many temptations.
Even his false accusations or his tricks to have you believe he's God talking to you.
Oh yeah he can be very good at playing God.
Thanks for your concerns but really I'm ok thanks, I know how to over come fear of every kind.
That's one of the many good thing about Christ is he can build a person up to be solid as a rock.
Enjoying peace and quiet living well, with love food and friendship with contentment in the heart he can do all these things .
God.is Very good at training a person to have spiritual sight and ears.
My holy guns are locked and loaded at all time
Only in the none believers eyes I would say.
Yep sad but true. Well at least he likes to think he his.
Enjoy your evening bro
Oh wow, I didn't know that!
I wonder if that is the physical connection to the spiritual in that it becomes "an open door for demons" to enter through.
If you read the previous posts about serial killers one of the traits they all had was compulsive (obsessive) masturbation. That's probably dopamine addiction overdrive!
And I'm also reading that masturbation can desensitize the masturbator so that they have to increase the intensity of that activity to get the same experience as before with less intensity.
So, I don't know how anyone can say this is not sinful the more we discover the bad effects it has on a person.
EZ 16:17 English Standard Version
You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore.
Here God is saying His bride Israel has taken the silver & gold He has given them & made an idol to play the whore with.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
17. my gold … my silver—(Hag 2:8).
images of men—rather, "of the phallus," the Hindu lingam, or membrum virile [Havernick], deified as the emblem of fecundity; man making his lust his god. English Version, however, is appropriate; Israel being represented as a woman playing the harlot with "male images," that is, images of male gods, as distinguished from female deities.
Since this comparison is used to speak of Israel's sin, we must come to the conclusion that the act itself is sin to God.

I believe it's about robing people of there purity when it's comes to demons, they want to defile everything God created.Oh wow, I didn't know that!

Purity being your body that is suppose to be temple, many church fathers do see masterbation as a sin,
They also see it as something demons take advantage of,
They came to steal and destroy,
There's a lot more signs, like taking drugs or having dreams attacked or weird sexual desires. Eating poor diet or anything to defile purity.
It's quite sickening the stories I've heard, they are all really all about robbing a person of there purity
Purity being sacred to God will be the number one target to defile.
Impure sexual thoughts is another sign of a demon.
People would think you where weird for saying so buts it's all true. I've heard loads of stories from a real life confessions, from an ex Catholic priest, whom I spent 6 years working as a gardener with him after he retired from. The church and took up gardening and came to work for us. He did 15 years of confessions
The more impure the person gets the less chance of deliverance happening, .
Which includes anything that can defile the body from drugs to poor diet even being lazy.
Also even cigarettes, blood also represents purity, the pollution in tobacco defiles the blood. Cleanliness being next to Godliness. Is also something they hate and like to defile. The more they can get a hold on person the harder it is to resist the devil, and there victims develop a couldn't care less attitude
So they need there intended victim to pollute there body.

You are calling a mistake a lie. It is Romans 14: 14. A lie is an untruth that is used to deceive. There was no intention to deceive since I posted the scripture verse as well.
What if people don't want to play this game of yours? How about all the people that didn't read your post? Does that mean they ALL masturbated before because they didn't post their pseudonym? It's a dumb catch-22.
I would like to see the the rational the commentator uses for this. A close cognate, or one that looks like it, can mean the male part in Arabic now. Other resources say the word means male. That does not mean that it meant the same in Hebrew that far back. And Hinduism was practiced rather far away.
