Well, I did pick up this chick one time at a tent revival meeting and when she started the laying on of hands I must admit that I did cry out "Oh God" on a number of occasions and I don't think that high point in my sexual life has ever been surpassed.

Lust is the epitome of selfishness. It is total self indulgence.....it is "what can I get, how can I be satisfied."

Well, lust cannot be all that bad. It is usually somewhere in there when sex is involved. One can love one's brother/sister/father/mother etc but lust is an essential ingredient of sex with someone one may or may not love. Sex without lust would be boring.

+1, I also seen xtian chicks dropping all that xtian BS when things get hot... Can't argue with hormones!
No, we do not regard human sexual instinct as immoral, filthy, of the devil, etc...it's a wonderful gift God has given us, inside of marriage. We aren't "cold fish" just because we believe sex should be btwn a married couple... or for that matter, we aren't "cold fish" because we didn't come on this thread and brag about our sex lives. THAT'S the difference between Christians and non-Christians...we don't feel the need to brag and tell the world about it.
"We Christians marry only to produce children" - Justin Martyr (c. 100–165) If a man marries in order to have children, he ought not to have a sexual desire for his wife. He ought to produce children by a reverent, disciplined act of will." - Clement of Alexandria
"What is the difference whether it is in a wife or a mother, it is still Eve the temptress that we must beware of in any woman. I fail to see what use woman can be to man, if one excludes the function of bearing children." Augustine
"In Eden, it would have been possible to beget offspring without foul lust. The sexual organs would have been stimulated into necessary activity by will-power alone, just as the will controls other organs. Then, without being goaded on by the allurement of passion, the husband could have relaxed upon his wife's breasts with complete peace of mind and bodily tranquility, that part of his body not activated by tumultuous passion, but brought into service by the deliberate use of power when the need arose, the seed dispatched into the womb with no loss of his wife's virginity. So, the two sexes could have come together for impregnation and conception by an act of will, rather than by lustful cravings" - Saint Augustine, 354 – 430 (City of God, Book 14, Chapter 26).
"Do you imagine that we approve of any sexual intercourse except for the procreation of children? He who is too ardent a lover of his own wife is an adulterer." St. Jerome
Do you believe the Christian bible allows masturbation? Is that sin or not?
I'm with Omaha...I don't believe the Bible speaks of masturbation.

Doesn't say a thing. If God even heard your prayer, He didn't answer it.

Times have changed.
None of the above mentioned names mean anything to me. I couldn't care less what these people said in the past.
No, my beliefs come straight from the Bible. Do I agree with them? No. Do I study them? No. Do I care what they said? No.
Wanted to make sure it is known that when I said the above about not agreeing, studying, or caring what "they" said... that "they" are the men nightflight mentioned.

I believe the OT is the word of God, but we do not live under it. I believe we only live under the NT teachings.

Love is the epitome of selflessness. it is "where the happiness of the other is essential to my own happiness."
One or two word labels are not explanations.
