Yes, It's the spilling of seed by Tamars husbands....When one husband died, then it was custom for her to marry the deceased husbands brother...when he died, the father in law would not give her to the next brother in line....so she made her self a (fake prostitute) and slept with the father.....He wasn't aware it was her...

It's a sin according to the OT scriptures to waste seed..

I believe it's called a Levirate Marriage. They did this (for those who wonder why) So that:
1) There was an heir to the dead man's property (cause this was a patriarchal society and women didn't own property)
2)The woman needed support and protection (cause that's what a man does)
3)Male heir ensured that the family property was kept within the immediate family. (Cause that's how they role 😮‍💨 )

Yep yep.....The male heir was yes very important as you said, along with the property.....OH, that Tamar seducing her father in law....naughty naughty naughty........

I don't think I could do it myself...NO no no no no no...tv_horror

Well maybe after lots and lots of thesedrunk.No, still couldn't...hey maybe he was a good looking guy....Ahh...still NO.......but now that would be talking about "Lot"...and we know what happened to him....

Edit.

Well speaking of "Lot" now cause I said lots and lots of beer.....Sometimes visuals are great helpers in helping one to understand..

As disturbing as it was, I was quite amazed to see that the father in law admited that he was wrong....a first in the Old Testament...

Ok, this is my oppinion and i think in GENERAL it is correct... When a Man OR women Masterbates they are SIMULATING Sex. Now if somebody is Masterbating the chances are that they are not thinking of their father...and if they are they are very very sick... point is when someone is masterbating their probly thinking of another Women/Man thus it is Lust, is it not?

I think you have a good point. I know you are going to say that lust is a sin, but is this lust the same kind of lust that would lead to something like murder? Lust is attraction gone to an extreme and that leads to sin. Nothing within it’s self is sinful, it is the harmful actions that we take when we go to far that is the sin.

Okay common sense, i am a born again Christian and i can easly answer this question: 1 masturbation is not a sin in itself unless you do the act with lust (as in masturbating watching porn), or it keeps you from God, family, church, other activities.
Yes if you sin God forgives them , but we learn from our mistakes and dont re-commit them, because you can't play with God.
And if you dont have faith in God and don't know God's purpose in life then of course you would right off the back say nothing is a sin, because you dont care about your eternity, or life after death.

Pray and God will give you the knowledge.

Gives a new meaning to "Glorify god with your body." 😱

Masturbation is a sin because:

Masturbation is the deliberate stimulation of the sexual organs in order to derive sexual pleasure" (CCC 2352). The Church teaches that sex has two main purposes that must be sought in the marriage act: sex is for reproduction of children within a valid marriage, and it is a loving, unifying act between husband and wife. Masturbation violates both aspects of the natural law and is thus a grave sin.

Most churches think it is.....But it IS natural...And God made people that way....so.

Wanking = hell....

Seems a bit harsh.

In reality, it can’ t be clearly said that the act of masturbation is in itself a sin. The bible never uses the word, nor does it imply or hint about the act of masturbation.

I think the concept of sin is wrong. Nothing is absolutely right, or wrong, but for me there are things that do not correspond to the ideal spiritual behavior and if eliminated it will be a better thing, if not eliminated it does not mean that you will go to hell.
