Do you think that an incredibly funny Christian teen like me wouldn't be joking about being stoned?

Well, when I first said something, I was kidding. Your reply made me think you were serious. domokun Stop that you. mrgreen

Where in the Bible does it say "Absolutely NO Marijuana!"? Hell, it might even condone it. I mean, even Moses was inspired by a burning bush. xd

Well, you have to think about why you're doing those things. Let's look at porn (not literally ... sweatdrop ). People view it to get sexual stimulation (which normally leads to masturbation). Porn allows a person to lust in their own privacy, and freely I might add. Masturbation is usually a result of lust (whether porn was involved or not). I don't know anyone who can masturbate and not think sexual thoughts (okay, that sounded weird confused ). Then there's the whole thought process of masturbation is kinda like "self-sex" and if you're not married to yourself it's a sin to have sex with yourself. -shrug- I heard that somewhere.

Sex is regarded as a gift from God and should be reserved for marriage, pleasing your sexual desires through masturbation is comparable to slap in God's face. But lust (and overall sin for that matter) is human nature. Once we accept Jesus into our lives and become Christians is when we have to overcome our own desires. As stated by someone else, God has to come first and once that happens he gives us new desires, pure desires (for example the desire to please Him instead of ourselves - which has also been boldly stated in a previous post sweatdrop ).

Wow, I'm surprised to say that the only thread that says it's a peaceful discussion is the only discussion that is peaceful. . . stare

Half of sexual lust is all hormones, so that part cannot be helped.

False. Lust is not hormonal. A desire for sensual love is natural, and as a person gets older, they notice married (or unmarried) couples and their seemingly satisfying (hopefully more than in appearance) relationships more and more.

If I may say so myself, it is a spiritual craving I have developed through my interactions and observations of couples and a desire to fulfill my biblical duty as a husband, fueled further by the fact that my culture restrains me.
