Masturbation is wrong.

Masturbation was once called "onanism" ("onanismo" in Spanish) to describe the results of it--Onan spilled his seed on the ground. The Webster's 1828 dictionary defines "onanism" as "self-pollution." (Please do not search for the definition of masturbation if you are unfamiliar with it because you may come across very great evil.) Masturbation is uncleanness and lasciviousness and often leads to incontinence (inability to control one's self, an habitual indulgence of lust, compulsive actions).

...God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

I taught my daughter that our secrets (a Bible term) are secret. We use them for going to the bathroom, we clean them, and, if we marry, they are for our spouses and for making babies. Other than that, leave them alone.

Nobody wants to talk about masturbation (I don't) but I mention this extremely sensitive area because it is pervasive--people (young and old) are having big problems with it, they are out of control--I have heard from some of them. I've actually seen this practice taught in children's books to get them hooked on it early. Someone must cry out about this and not let it go on without sounding an alarm. I have read from a mother's own lips the devastating results of it in one small child not even four years old. The television, the school system, books, cartoons, movies, fairy stories, Christmas traditions, etc. ARE DANGEROUS. Like sorcery and enchantments, they work to bewitch the people so that the people are spiritually and mentally influenced and deceived but do not realize it. The people think that they are doing okay, but they are not. That is the nature of deception--believing what is not true, and not believing what is true. Yes, these things are dangerous, BUT WHAT IS REALLY DANGEROUS IS NOT BEING SAVED AND NOT BEING LED BY GOD'S WORD. Without the word of God, the Authorized King James Bible, people have no guide to direct them through this life and these perils that they find within themselves and outside of themselves. The people are in the dark, stumbling about, going from iniquity to iniquity and making many errors as they are led about by the flesh, the devil, and the world. What a woeful and dangerous position to be in.

By God's grace, those entangled in masturbation can walk away from it and start living free and clean and holy--those with this or other issues may wish to see our Deliverance Series.
