Recently ive been trying to develop a relationship to christ. My biggest personal problem throughout my life has without a doubt been lust. Im extremely horny all the time. I thought quitting porn and fapping cold turkey would cure it but its increasingly gotten worse.
It's been months since ive busted a nut and its becoming a point of distraction. To make matters worse I just moved to chicago on my own for a job and its taking every once of willpower not to snag the the next roastie I can find off tinder and bang the shit out of her. Am I just supposed to abstain until I hopefully get married? This shit is so confusing and the lack of sexual release is tormenting my cock. I've had consensual, casual sex with several girls with no issues in the past
Cut your dick or right hand off >And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. - Matthew 5:29-30
Believing in Jesus means you believe He died for all your sins, past, present, and future! Otherwise you are believing in your own ability to save yourself.
It's good to abstain from sex before marriage, yes, but God isn't going to stop loving you. He is well aware that we are imperfect and that we have a sinful nature, that's why He sent Jesus in the first place. :)
Read Romans chapter 5, it will strengthen your faith and be food for the soul. Be blessed, bro.
but how can you have faith that christ will save you for your sins if you continually and willfully go against his word? Thats the exact opposite in faith, isnt it?
Henry Roberts
>God isn't going to stop loving you He will tho >For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. - Ephesians 5:5
God always gives you a way to not sin and to avoid temptation, all sin is your fault. >Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it. - 1 Corinthians 10:13
It's impossible for any person to be entirely sinless, even after being saved. The difference is that a saved person will see their sinful lifestyle and try to change it, they abhor their old ways and want to live their life for Christ. Your post shows that you don't want to sin, you just need your faith to be a little bit stronger so you'll know that the struggle is worth it. Let go of your worldly desires and let God show you His will for you, then try to live according to that will as closely as possible.
Henry Young
>I stopped fapping and my urges got stronger
wow what a surprise
stop buying the ancient sand nigger fairy tales user. go to pornhub and enjoy yourself, don't let Jebus Crust cock block you
What you are thinking of as a bad thing, is actually a very good thing if you channel it towards something productive. Build something that will impress your future wife, e.g. Put that energy towards what you want it the end (a wife) and it will not be wasted.
Leo Powell
Read my post again dumbass. (((Pornhub))) is a psy op and you're either a faggot shill or a useful idiot.
Asher Myers
Honestly if you watch porn in general you are pathetic.
This. Personally I cope by working out. Definetely a better way to rid yourself of the energy you accumulate.
Matthew Morales
You're not the kind of person im seeking answers from. Your shit posting provides zero weight to the conversation and your reddit-tier picture you including only validates how retarded you are. Fuck right off edge lord
Thats always been my biggest concern with christianity and is what has made me skeptical of following it. I see so many of my christian friends who are aware of their sins and always rebuttal it with "its okay bro like jesus died so we can sin" .. its so backwards to me. I dont get it, maybe Im just ignorant. Some christians will tell me not to engage in the premarital sex no matter what because of my awareness its against the word of god, yet the others will say its okay to engage in as long as I still accept jesus died for my sins?
Jaxon Stewart
I knew someone would say that and Im trying brother. I just started a great career out of school and have a structure lifting schedule on top of it. Everything in my life is going great right now and falling into place but it seems like my sexual energy is a beast of itself that doesn't seem to have any capability of being translated into energy output towards other things... just a constant sexual frustration.
Andrew Moore
Do you keep exposing yourself to forms of erotica?
Lucas Phillips
No I quit porn cold turkey. The only time I see suggestive material is here but this is the one place that has opened me up to so many truths of Christianity and I learn different angles and perspectives of it here all the time. I cant give it up.
Robert Jackson
50 shekels is a good price for a virgin wife.
Zachary Gomez
>Thats always been my biggest concern with christianity and is what has made me skeptical of following it. Read the gospels for yourself, and you'll find that Jesus doesn't talk like "we're all sinners, but it's okay". Rather he speaks more along the lines of "those practicing evil will be cast into hell". (However, he makes it clear that it is possible to repent of your past evil, and be forgiven in your newer sin-free self.)
>it seems like my sexual energy is a beast of itself that doesn't seem to have any capability of being translated into energy output towards other things How old are you? If you're in your early 20s or so, then the good news is that at this point, it wears off and just gets easier and easier as the years roll on. Are you waiting to find a wife, or just having trouble finding one, or what?
Ryan Morgan
Warnings against sin are to help you live better, to have abundant life, not to test you. What do you do to please someone who loves you more than you love yourself? Go do that.
Brayden Wright
>sexual energy is a beast of itself that doesn't seem to have any capability of being translated into energy output towards other things... just a constant sexual frustration. I kind of feel the same. The only thing that helps me is praying for a clean mind and lust should neither control me nor even come to mind. Also praying the rosary and meditation work well for me. One of the things that surprisingly helped me is fasting. Any "activity" that requires discipline will help you on your journey.
Adam Bennett
that makes some sense
22, I dont know. I guess im waiting to find a wife but im not really looking to get married anytime soon. But the bible says be fruitful and multiply but im not ready. Im not financially stable enough yet and still haven't met a woman i would consider marriageable
Easton Martinez
I get what you mean man, unfortunately glad to hear im not the only one who struggles. I think about sex all day at work despite the 8 hours im preoccupied with tasks, and even lifting despite the 2 hours I spend in the gym. Thats 10 hours a day im preoccupied with discipline and I still cant rid my mind of the cancer that is lust. It's literally tormenting
Michael Murphy
As I've stated: Prayer, meditation and other disciple building activities.
Bentley Edwards
discipline*
Juan Brooks
>Im not financially stable enough yet Getting married actually helped me with this. I think the idea that marriage is expensive is primarily put out by anti-marriage people.
>still haven't met a woman i would consider marriageable This is a much bigger problem. My wife was more normal when I first met her, but now she's moulded herself (with my help) into more of a trad wife: she loves cooking, picking berries, children, church, etc. Perhaps it is true what they say: good women are not found, they are moulded. But it helps that these things are things women have a natural affinity for, and it is only the media/entertainment/etc that have made them elsewise. Even temptation is no problem for her since she adheres to the idea that a man and a woman should not meet alone (even if in a public place).
Chase Hall
user, Jesus transcended sex. He said to not look in lust at a woman and he had no children himself. Jesus Christ was the world's first transgender! Peace be upon Mohammad, the real man who loved sexy girls! Jesus doesn’t want us to have waifus, but Muhammad does!!
Alexander Davis
as a christian myself i havnt been able to not jack off. Ive had sex before, but have realized that sex before marriage is usually the better way to go. I wouldnt worry too much about jerking it, but dont get addicted to it. I would advise trying to find a wife. Ive found sticking to softcore porn has cleared my mind moreso.
Benjamin Rivera
realized NOT having sex before marriage is a good idea.
Jaxson Wright
its hard man. Finding a woman worth keeping around that doesnt make me resent talking to them in the first place is hard. Maybe its been my inability to mold them, which is likely due to my lack of faith in christ.
not sure what you're getting at with jesus being the first transgender but no matter what muhammad (peace be upon him) says about polygamy, i dont think its the truth. Theres less truth in polygamy than premarital sex
Luis Jenkins
ive only found fapping to make things worse for me which is why i try to abstain. Remind me again how lusting over a woman through a digital screen is any better than premarital sex?
Ayden Anderson
>Maybe its been my inability to mold them, which is likely due to my lack of faith in christ. Some things to keep in mind: be patient with her, talk with her about important issues (for my wife and I that usually takes the form of a tangent during Bible study), and be more interested in the truth than in you being right and her agreeing with you. Sometimes she'll be right and you'll be wrong, and when it occurs (even if fairly rarely), it is an excellent chance to show that you care more about the truth than being right. Things like this help the molding process.
Owen Kelly
You are going to sin just like Peter did. Repeat this prayer, user:
Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Gabriel Wilson
It's part of the purification process, you will get through it. The Lord lets us face NO temptations we can not handle. Stay strong, OP. You can do this.
Julian Perez
thanks, user. Will keep that in mind.
Thank you. God bless,user.
Ryder Bell
muslim men are masculine, christian men are feminine. so, was jesus a faggot, transgender, man that never got his dick wet, man that got his dick wet before becoming a perfect non-sinner, or a woman?
Ryder Morris
thanks bro im trying to learn and grow as much as i can. God bless
Thomas Barnes
disgusting heresy. One day very soon you will realize the cost of these words. Repent.
Hudson Hughes
>disgusting heresy says who, you? and hoo are you, God?
Jonathan Scott
since you are judging for the Good Lord, let him judge you first.
Zachary Cox
OP, here is my opinion. I cannot promis this is the correct thing to do as I am still struggling with this too.
I also didn't masturbate for a few months, and was somewhat able to bear it. However the moment I left the house and saw woman walking about, sex was on my mind all the time. I remembered, that we should not walk about with lust in our chest so what I did was wrong, still what can I do?
I resumed fapping. I'm calm again when going out. I'm doing it a lot less than before.
However the ideal solution, without doubt, would be to marry and let your wife take care of your needs. Sadly I don't have one.
Kayden Price
>Am I just supposed to abstain until I hopefully get married? In christianity? Yes. You're supposed to keep the law and commandments too.
Brandon Jones
exactly. Its a damned if you do damned if you dont scenario, or at least it seems. The options are as follow:
>Dont indulge in masturbation/pornography and constantly be riddled with lustful, distracting thoughts and urges.
>mastrubate and indulge in pornography in attempt to mitigate urges which itself is lustful and still leads to worse, degenerative behavior
>marry the next woman who's willing even though theres a strong chance at that point you're marrying for the sole purpose of extinguishing the past two scenarios, at the expense of actually finding a woman worth marrying
Kevin Young
It's ok OP. You can't have a "relationship with Christ" because Rabbi Yeshua is a fictional character based on an amalgamation of various characters of oral tradition.
His existence was never recorded by a single contemporary historian, who would have all run as fast as they can to witness him perform a miracle and record it. In fact, the first mention of his existence is in the bible which wasn't written until decades after his supposed death, and the original text was hardly meant to portray him as anything other than just a good person. The books which clarified this were removed by the council of Nicea because they wanted a narrative that would fulfill their messianic Judaism.
So what you can instead have are schizophrenic talks with an imaginary friend who was created by lying Jews, then selectively edited by later lying Jews to look like a total caricature of the actual character he was meant to be, all because it was more politically useful in the Jewish interests in a foreign country 2000 years ago.
Hope this helps
Ryder Rivera
God bless you as well, brother. Keep trying and just get back up again should you stumble. God loves you and will NEVER abandon you. Satan wants you to sin so he can convince you that you are worthless and drive a divide between you and God. Your task is to seek refuge in The Lord no matter what, even if you are deceived into sin. Never give up on God because God will never give up on you.
Brayden Garcia
Get away, Satan.
Cooper Powell
> I want to love Christ, for reals >my only problem is that I love sin >wat do?
If you aren’t trolling you already know what to do and hoped someone would talk you out of that.
So why bother? Go be a sinner and revel in the material abundance built by the god you reject. You know you want to. Do you think you should?
Not that you should maaturbate, but you can masturbate without pornography.
You could strive to be better and more independent at the weakest and most ridiculously kiked junction of your life.
Maybe. Maybe you could.
Carson Price
Your life in this world will end, and then you will realize that this world was all dust. The original sin is thinking that you know better than God. Does a volcano need to explain itself to you before it erupts? No. And the universe is not subject to your reasoning.
Samuel Murphy
Quit being a dense faggot do you really think I was asking this question just for someone to say "its otay user do the sex!! xD" fuck off i was literally just asking for advice on how to manage my lustful nature and the best way to overcome it, not succumb to it. Go fuck yourself nigger
Jose Kelly
>I should ignore the teachings that built modern society because I hate the idea of some entity I don’t believe in who agrees with the teachings that built modern society.
Imagine being this debased and bluepilled. No seriously, just imagine.
Oh, I forgot modern society was built off swans having sex with QTs and odin drinking his own cum.
Fuck, how do I delete a post?
Zachary Johnson
No it was built by people, people who may have been religious externally but not internally, just like you.
Kevin Baker
Care to explain which teaching led to each advancement of society as a whole? For example, turn the other cheek led to pennicilin.
Jaxson Ross
Let me lay it to you straight OP, this is what you do. Get a book out, I like to use technical books. Put it in front of you and read while you wack it. It's technically not violating the christian religion in any way. I like to think of it like popping a pimple. The reading takes your mind off of lustful things and you don't get blue balls. You get to follow Christ and get the urge out of your system. So go ahead brother, pop that pimple.
Use that extra energy to lift weights or take up a hobby.
Tyler Price
A man should cleave to his wife.
One of the first lessons taught to man,
Jackson Morales
Jesus is the most mentioned person in the Quran by reference; 25 times by the name Isa, third-person 48 times, first-person 35 times, and the rest as titles and attributes.
That should speak for itself. Your faith calls for the destruction of nonbelievers. Yet it's fixated on the world's true savior (Jesus Christ through YHWH) and is mentioned more in your own book than mohammed.
Carter Cooper
You mean this? This doesn't say cleave?
Genesis 2:24 New King James Version (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Or this? Malachi 2:16 New King James Version (NKJV) 16 “For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” Says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.”
Brandon Morgan
>nobody was forming families until we got the bible.
Damn son
Eli Miller
user, did you even read what you quoted? You have proven me correct, and also proven my next several arguments correct. You don’t hate Christ. You don’t hate a single one of his teachings.
You have built a false god, subconsciously, in order to hate. You don’t hate the Christian god, you hate a straw man. You refuse to worship a straw man and ridicule those who worship god.
Admit it; you hate the Christian god more than the “jewish” or Muslim god. Just accept it.
They are all, by your measure, the same god. Just realise you hate one the most.
It becomes kinda useless once you think about it. E.g.: If you wank 10 times a day as a form of procrastination you'll notice while it feels good while doing it becomes a chore and 5 minutes after it didn't really change anything. Sex is the same, it takes effort for almost nothing in return. Sex without the goal of reproduction is not a sin, it's just not worth doing. Of course the wild and porn-addicted youth will say I'm gay or ugly or whatever but they just don't wanna think about it. Try it for yourself, take the time to reflect.
Benjamin Long
When I was at church last time, the minister literally said that Jesus was a Jew.
The whole congregation gasped and someone yelled out, stop with the lies, he was Son of the Christian God.
That's funny, because last time I checked, God was the father who had many messengers on this earth teaching different things to different people.
I reckon 99% of Christians are fake shits that show up to church things to make themselves goodie 2 shoes.
I know so many fake church people it's not funny.
Wyatt Bennett
Our ball sacks constantly produce sperm. Eventually, if you control yourself enough, you will have a nocternal emission. That should help with your urges for like 5 more days.
Bottom line, you arent going to be able to control yourself without prayer. Pray and practice dicipline. Also work out.
Also, quit porn. If you have to jack it, dont use porn. That way you starve your mind. Also, if you are going to jack it, dont sit down. Start practicing these diciplines while praying and meditating.
Bentley Morris
We hate the Christian God the most for good reason. The Jewish and Muslim versions are racially esoteric, only for subhumans, whereas the Kikestain version of God presents this exact same subhuman barbarism and superstition to us actual humans, ie whites, and feeds off our blood like all parasitic jews do, then claims credit for the achievements of white genetics. Idiotic dupes who fall for it, like you, simply push the parasite deeper in, allowing it to claim credit for white greatness when DNA is a far more accurate predictor of proper societal achievement than Kikestainity or lack thereof.
Ryder Rogers
What's more, kikestainity literally created the Jew World Order. Jews could have never done this alone as they only have an average IQ of 95. Rather, their empire was built centuries ago and passed down the family line, and it all started because kikestains like you gave kikes total dominance in finance for free because muh sins. They spent centuries building up what you smoothbrain kikestains gave them and now we're all going to fucking die because of it. Which you psychotic fags are fine with. It's totally okay that western civilization ends, and you end up tied to a chair watching your wife and daughter raped to death by niggers before getting your eyes popped out and then beat to death, because muh jewsus and muh heaven!
Julian Evans
Just find a conservative wife and marry her. That's what the combination of your balls and Jesus are saying.
Evan Smith
This is an interesting approach. I've done something something similar while creating music spontaneously. So as long as you do it without lusting for women, it's not a sin?
Jaxon Richardson
Law 1 of Noahides 7 laws is do not worship idols. There is not god but me (Hashem).
When you worship Jesus as God you are idol worshipping and winning against Gods name.
Renounce Jesus the false messiah and embrace the Old Testament as the only true word of God our father almighty. When the true messiah arrives you will know, the world will never be the same, it will be a different place.
He has not yet arrived, be patient and worship Hashem, not Yeshua
Jaxson Ross
Sinning*
Jason Brooks
holy shit, you should at least have a decent grasp on “Judaism” before posting on Jow Forums, but knowing nothing about the Quran and less about the Bible and you still out in your opinion? I’d be amazed, if it weren’t for this unshakable nostalgia.
I can’t help you beyond recommending you confront deism. My personal opinion is that curiosity and deism will lead anyone to Christ, but no rational agent can argue deism without abandoning reason.
Xavier Green
Oh, also learn the etymology of words before you use them.
Otherwise you will appear very silly to anyone who understands English.
Aiden Hill
I've never understood why your type go so far to insult Jesus. Even when I was an atheist, it never occurred to me to insult Jesus, I just didn't care. If you've sinned and are angry at God and Jesus for your sin, know that you can re-enter into God's grace at any moment if you so choose to. Godspeed, user.
