Yada yada yada show me in the Bible where masturbation is STRICTLY addressed let alone condemned as a mortal sin. All this sin definition venial, mortal ect … is man made laws and order not God’s or He would have “specifically” addressed it. Just like purgatory, where in the world ! in the Bible did God teach us about that? Another made up Vatican issue. Just stick with what the Bible teaches, that’s hard enough with all the twisted accounts (trial of Jesus being TOTALLY out of the context of Jewish and Roman customs and Law at the time for one), and not additional man made laws, rules and gibberish about purgatory, what a crock. Just because the Vatican had the military power to make their opinion and church design the rule, doesn’t make it right. Another example, marriage for priests. Most the Apostles were married, but for a priest it is voodoo because the Vatican says so, under who’s direction and authority are they representing that directive? Not God’s. Yep, theirs, seems the Vatican thinks it can improve God’s Word with their hoopla. I don’t care about theirs, I care about God’s, and it is quite obvious throughout history, that the Vatican is a bully, guilty of heinous crimes and genocide, twisting the Truth of the faith to suit their needs, and a poor representative of Jesus original words and teachings as outlined by the early Christians. I am supposed to listen to them with blind faith when they make up it is wrong to not experience sexual release of built up sperm, which has to be periodically released and replaced biologically (why we have wet dreams if you don’t do it yourself), through masturbation, you gotta be kidding me. Maybe the Church should worry about their molesting priests and their banning from the Church instead on wrist slapping and passing to another parish to continue. I can show them in the Bible where THAT is wrong, but they can’t tell me where quote unquote masturbation is, yeah, right … not. and if I masturbate, and you say that it means I love myself more than God, you need to buzz off Jack, YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
And answer me why 50 years of being a Catholic, everytime I go to a new CATHOLIC Church, every priest has a different answer about masturbation, from it’s not a sin, to it’s not a serious sin, or not as bad as other sins, to mortal sin (unfounded) or my body will start to rot away … they can’t even give a uniform answer if it is right or wrong, I can even get 5 club members to recite the same verbatim, but the Church can’t ? CAN ANYBODY SEE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ? Like the Vatican is a poor leader, poorly preparing people for eternity. If masturbation is so wrong, why was I never taught that in 12 years of Catholic grade school and high school. How come NO Homily ever addressed it, the Church kept quiet until I did it, then all of a sudden all hell breaks loose and you got your fingers jabbed in my chest screaming sinner … I say worry about how you run your religion “business” empire which is robbing Christians of money and proper eternal preparations, shove your extra-Biblical doctrine and stupid rules (priests not marrying for example) and let us people live in the peace of the Bible, not the wrath of your non-based accusations and fantastical places (purgatory).
Jesus is Lord
Allah Akbar (and that is coming from ME, a white, Anglo Saxon American Catholic, not a Muslim or Islamic, if you don’t understand why I can say it without offending God and fellow Catholics and Christians, then you really are lost, and not able to bother me with your anti-masturbation hangups)
