This is my concern.

If lust is a sin, and people lust all the time, even while sitting at their desk working, then I would assume that masturbation is no worse than that, right? (If one were lusting about another at the time)

If a person is abstinent, is masturbation wrong?

What are your thoughts?

My personal understanding of what God meant, was that things of the earth (plants, fruit, trees, etc) that he created, are good for us, and from all of the historical d...

Hello, I recently read several articles/posts that indicate using marijuana was unacceptable by God. These articles made no mention on the use of pharmaceutical drugs. So I thought I would delve into this topic a deeper. God said that all plants, seeds, trees, flowers, were put on this earth for the...
