Again: Masturbation Not A Sin, Pastor Oyakhilome Insists......

 

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Believers Love World, popularly known as Christ Embassy, has insisted that masturbation is not a sin.
He also said the issue should not be regarded as his personal opinion but as a resolution from the Bible concerning it.
Pastor Chris, as he is popularly called, was reacting to more questions from members of the public who seemed to be confused about the story going round that he declared that masturbation is not a sin.
As reported some weeks ago, the Pastor said the act in itself was not a sin against God but that Satan uses it to oppress people of God making them feel ineffective an inefficient in the things of God.
He also said God is not offended by the practice but by any habit that takes hold of one’s mind and this had resulted in widespread condemnation.
In a recently posted video in which he reacted to many questions emanating from his previous teaching on masturbation, Pastor Chris maintained that people should rather see the issue from biblical perspective rather than seeing it as his personal opinion.
While answering a question from one Timothy based in Russia, who said he was confused by the teaching about masturbation not being a sin because there is no way one can effectively masturbate without having evil thoughts, Pastor Chris said the first question that should come to mind in the issue is: “what is sin?
“What I find in many Christians is that not many of them even have an understanding of the concept; what is sin.”
He referred the public to one of his teachings on the concept of sin, saying it would help the people understand what sin really is, adding that “sin is not what we say it is but what God says it is.”
Using an illustration, he said: “if a man stole a loaf of bread from a shop and ate it, does that mean that eating of bread is sin?
“Where was his wrong? Did he go wrong because he ate bread? Does that mean that eating of bread is wrong?

That is his problem, if he had read his bible very well, the exodus, leviticus and evven romans 1 he will know that people were destroyed for such acts. maay be he is looking for more membeers to increase his business. H e is not conscious about sin and it's consequencies. Flee away from such debased preacheers of doom

Masturbation is the attribute of sin while sin is unbelief of the Word of God. (John 3v18)

People masturbate because they do not believe in the Word of God and so the consequence of this is the manifestation of the attribute of sin. Masturbation is wrong and sinful.

We are not to judge anyone and with this present preaching of his, it shows hes talking according to his understand and everyone is vyable to that too..
But to be frank, no one can ever masturbate without thinking of sex using someone's imaginary body which relates with what the bible says about lusting over someone from the heart leading to sin.. There's no particular place in the bible where it states masturbation to be sin but the truth is that, it affects sexual excitement negatively which is not good on a normal instant.. I wouldn't want to over emphasized on this.. Its well.

tank God he did not support all his noise with a verse to prove it not a sin. Romans 1 talks so much about immorality, may be next time he will try to say homosexuality and lesbianism is not a sin or even gays and lesbians should marry. But because he believes so, God will make to him and  all those who believed that such acts will not look like sin. God will send them strong delusion so that they will believe a lie to be the truth.

Pls i strongly disagree with this pastor. Masturbation itself is a sin against God & whoever that is involved in it equally commits sin.
