Whether you are a NEET, wage slave, or successful person who loves his job...your body is decaying with each passing second until your inevitably expire. There is no stopping this. There will be pain right up to the very end.

For the majority of your life will be spent acquiring and maintaining physical comforts for as long as possible. Unfortunately, the pleasantries of life are greatly outnumbered by the tribulations you will endure.

It depends, if you are filled with the Holy Spirit then you will still suffer in this life, but physical death will be a relief, because of the promised reward of heaven. If your spirit is not in Christ, then you are doomed.

>Unfortunately, the pleasantries of life are greatly outnumbered by the tribulations you will endure.
Only if you are not filled by Holy Spirit. Let go of your sins, and your life is bliss around the clock.

NIV is satanist. Use the KJV.

> if you are filled with the Holy Spirit
No, but that is the goal. Unfortunately a human lifespan may not be long enough for a fool like me to attain to such heights. Oh well!

One lifetime is easily enough if you start retaining your semen.

I've started, but there is a little more to it than that. Trees need water, but giving them what they need doesn't make them grow any faster.
Ian Powell
It is the core foundation upon which further work is laid, and without which no work bears much fruit. Semen retention is practically a catapult to spiritual growth.
Ian Fisher
Not just a catapault, but a necessity. And just out of curiosity, how did you come to hold semen retention in such high regard? Do you know how to knead the dough as Jesus taught? Have you tasted the strong meat of Hebrews 5?
Colton Wright
> And just out of curiosity, how did you come to hold semen retention in such high regard?
I became aware of nofap in 2011 and been studying the effects on-off since then. Eventually I realized that pure abstinence is the only way forward as far as mental and spiritual growth is concerned.
>Do you know how to knead the dough as Jesus taught? Have you tasted the strong meat of Hebrews 5?
I don't know what you are referring to, sorry.

why practice semen retention when you dont even work?

no not really, I jerk it every day and still was able to grow spiritually significantly. In fact I make the most process after busting a nut, just depends what you jerk it to.

Smart man. Not to sound pretentious, but pray to God for the rest of the equation, of which nofap is an integral part, if you please. This feast is lonely, I would gladly welcome a brother to the table, even if he is Finnish.

You are a fool spreading foolish deeds
Vedic scripture is clear on what unecessary non procreative spilling of seed is

They push a Christ alright. Not the real one, but the one they want us to know. Jews are the spawn of Satan. Even Jesus knew that.

why the fuck should I care about what some humans scribbled together? for all I know they could be wrong

make up your own mind and see what works for you, if you need someone else to tell you what to do and what not you are on a misleading path
listen to your higher self and no one else

Thanks. Every night I go to bed I pray to God in the name of Christ that I may not spill my seed in my sleep so that I may grow closer to him.

if you have a soul you know what is right and wrong, I ask Jesus for guidance and try to follow it the best I can. getting rid of the material pleasure of the flesh frees my mind up to pursue other things.

He is pointing out that our worldly lives are short and will end, because the wages of sin are death. Christ has saved us though, so we better use the short time we have wisely serving Christ our God.

Jaxson Green
I'm conflicted about how much God cares about fapping. On one hand I think if it's okay as long it's not an obsessive addiction to hardcore content, on the other hand is my cock
Easton Gray
>getting rid of the material pleasure of the flesh frees my mind up to pursue other things.
How does indulgence in the pleasures of flesh translate to freedom from such though? Have you ever tried abstinence? Over time, by not following your lust, you would gain an actual, permanent freedom from sexual urges. Having masturbatory urges is foremost a conditioned habit that you are artificially keeping alive by choosing to indulge in it.
Nolan Nelson
It's a terrible sin equatable with murder I think.
James Thompson
Thank God the old testament is only for jews.

Ask yourself this: in front of you, you see a holy man. Would your first impression be that this man partakes in masturbation?

Parker Gonzalez
who says I enjoy it that much? its more of a thing I have to do to get the result. sure there are times where I use it to simulate making love, but thats something way different from succumbing to lust.
abstinence never really worked for me, tried it. my mind is clouded and concerned with shit that doesnt really matter, Im on edge all the time, lust is getting even worse during that time, I cant focus on my spiritual growth, its all bs for me.
Blake Ortiz
>ASV - in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return
I just picked the one at the top, as you see ASV is pretty much the same
Jose Turner
Screw all that anyway. I want to defy god's plan and achieve something unexpected.
Nicholas Flores
It sounds like the energy within your nervous system is not circulating properly. Usually abstinence should be paired with something like working out, yoga, qi gong, or other postural work that involves stretching & flexing. Especially on longer streaks it is necessary to learn to work with your energies, because the energy accumulating within you grows so much. Otherwise the energy will get pent up exactly like you describe, unable to find any way to express itself other than expulsing it out of the body.
Joseph Gomez
Meh, some try to compare it to adultery, because you're looking at another woman...but there's no ability to actually connect with that person, so fapping becomes more like a biological function like straining to release a shit
Henry Cooper
Yea, and there's an entire industry for ED.
Parker Barnes
my goal is acquire knowledge, best way for me is busting a nut and then meditating and connecting with Sophia for that sweet wisdom.
otherwise I am stuck in this demonic shithole and have to deal with all the bullshit it throws at me constantly without refuge from its illusions.
we are sexual beings, we want to create, it goes beyond the body, and if I can only achieve that by making love spiritually so be it. no interest in suppressing my desire for creation by putting myself in a constant prison of fighting my god given desire to create something beautiful with my spiritual opposite.
Luis Carter
Commit the deed in thought, and you might as well have really done it. Better to cut off your hand and put out your eyes than to miss your chance. If you need release so badly, find a wife. God be with you, and may God give us all the strength to carry on in the face of temptation.
Connor Bailey
Loving God and your neighbor is all that matters and if that believer needs a quick human release to go on with the day with a clear mind, then so be it. Something is an addiction if it inhibits and degrades other parts of your life. Nocturnal emission or manually through visual assistance, it's coming out. Just like if you need to take a piss, you take a piss. Be done with it and move on with serving God. It's not like you're doing it to spite Him.
Robert Nelson
Poor fellow. We westerners live in utter darkness.
Parker Sullivan
So you defile your body on the daily, and think you're obtaining spirtual enlighteness?
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Grayson Myers
Fornication involves physical connection with another person, which can involve severe consequences, fapping does not. I'll say it again, it's a simple human release like taking a shit.
Juan James
yep, if the west didnt fuck up everything I wouldnt have to masturbate to achieve a spiritual high to figure out how to fight the satanic forces that hold us in a tight grip.
until this is fixed I am continuing on this path until I am shown a better way.
it just works, dont ask me how
the less I fap the more I am concerned with the material, and I loathe the material
also spiritual sex isnt just shrubbing your dick until cum comes out, it has alot more to do with the mind than anything
