In theory this does make sense.  Any other sin you commit would fall under disobedience.  The Bible commands you not to commit adultery.  So the sin you are forgiven for is not the adultery but the disobedience against the commandment.

Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.\n \nYes it is a sin. You answered your son correctly.

No sane person would feel that masturbation is a sin. It is the ultimate in safe sex.\nIn order for it to be a sin it would have to hurt someone.  Who does it harm?\nYou do not "lose eggs" when you menstruate.  By the time of menstruation the egg (which is only viable for about 24 hours) has "died" a long time ago ago and is just one of the things that your body is sloughing off.\nI am sorry that someone has given you such bad information that you think these ordinary bodily functions could be a sin.  Relax, they are not.\nBlessings\nLady Trinity~

Mathew 5:27-28 "You have heard it said that you shall not commit adultery BUT I say to you that everyone who looks on a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart". So much for pornography.\nSex for pleasure (outside marriage) I Corinthians 6:9 "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.  Do NOT be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, .....  will inherit the kingdom of God".   So much for fun sex.

Christian churches have changed the meaning over time. If you go from what is written without interpretation, pre-marital sex and masturbation would be two areas humans could participate in without sinning. Because we now understand the effects of certain behavior that can lead us to do other things, masturbation and premarital sex are now frowned upon. Especially premarital sex which can lead to births out of wedlock. So many churches se premarital sex as wrong as adultry. Masturbation is getting closer to being called a sin because of the thoughts many have while doing it. Which goes with what jesus said about lusting on a person in your mind then you have sinned already.

in my opinion no. you confess your sins to God and accept him into your heart and you are forgiven. the sins hang over your head kind of as a reminder to not do them again and that they are wrong

If you entertain a sinful thought, it is considered a sin.

I'm a Christian to and I like beer and mixed drinks.  That in itself is not a sin.  The abuse of it, however, is.  \n\nEven Jesus drank wine.  At the wedding where he performed his first miracle of making wine from water (if it were a sin he would not have contributed to it) and at the last supper he drank it and had his disciples drink it (he wouldn't have caused them to sin).\n\nSo yes, it is okay.  Just be in control and moderate!

It's debauchery that is a sin. Consumption of wine is not a sin but the excess consumption of win is always a possibility when drinking so they choose to refrain and call anyone that partakes a sinner because their God is too wimpy to keep them from debauchery.

At any moment, every person reading this is committing some kind of sin.  Some sins are really bad (mortal); other sins are relatively mild (venial).  Essentially, at any moment a person is becoming either a more heavenly or more hellish creature, based on that person's will and decisions based on given circumstances.  The strong sexual attraction felt between a man and woman in a marriage is not sinful.  Looking at another person's spouse in a lustful manner is sinful.  The Lord knows every person's weaknesses, and even knows of any shameful perversions that might plague that person's mind--important thing is what that person tries to do; i.e., what decisions that person makes to the best of that person's abilities given the circumstances.  If you read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, he gives excellent insights into these ideas.  Hope this helps.

My understanding is, anything sexual outside marriage or involving more than just the two of you is sinful.

MASTURBATION is an expression of lusting over someone. No scripture tells us that masturbation is a sin.\n\nKeep growing in the Lord Jesus and you will find later that this habit will stop.\n\nConnect with strong Christian men in your locality. \n\nALL THE BEST.

I just wish somebody would define "sin".  The Bible does advise us against drinking too much - but is it a sin or just a really bad idea?  Of course, anything you do to hurt somebody else while intoxicated is wrong.  We do tend to hurt others when we drink too much, so I think that drinking too much leads to "sinning".  Perhaps drinking isn't wrong in itself, but drinking when you know that it has lead you to hurt others in the past is wrong.

I don't think it is a sin.  I love beer, and I do not feel that it is a sin to drink it -- only to abuse it.  \n\nHowever, it is not important what I think.  What do YOU think?  Why do you feel guilty?  If you feel it is a sin, then yes, for you it is a sin.  \n\nPersonally, I think you can abuse (gluttony) pretty much anything in life.  Gluttony is where the danger is.
