Hi Willie - Thanks for your wisdom. I really appreciate your maturity (something tells me that you have been a Christian for a long time :-) and your answers. I do know that the church (particularly the catholic one) has blown masterbation far out of proportion. It is no worse than any other sin. For myself though, masterbation has somewhat run my life. I can often spend the whole day looking at boys, just to fuel my fantasies. I believe that I am mastered by my sin, that it controls my life rather than Jesus controlling my life. Yes, no doubt that my attraction to boys has resulted in some wonderful gifts. But I do not want those gifts to be eclipsed by an unquenchable thirst for fantasies. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again for your great post. You are not alone. Ben Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. |
