If a man was thinking of his wife and masturbating
because she was out of town and he was horny...
that's sin?
Is that the ideal sexual experience? Sin is missing the mark, or the ideal. In this case did the wife receive actual pleasure and closeness from the husband's experience, or was he the sole beneficiary? It is a case where the spirit is willing to wait for the wife, but the flesh is weak. It wants what it wants right now.
Is that the ideal sexual experience?
If he is pleasing himself, with thoughts of his wife...yes
What....God didn't create hands and fingers for pleasure?
Sin is missing the mark, or the ideal.
Missing the mark, sums up sin?!
Sin is what results from entertaining our desires
is contrary to His word and the teachings of Jesus,
does not align with the nature of God or Jesus
inflicts harm, hurts ourselves or others, causes strife
is intentional, malicious, defiant, willful, ignorant, disobedient
In this case did the wife receive actual pleasure and closeness from the husband's experience, or was he the sole beneficiary?
Omg...seriously
In that case, was the wife hurt by his actions?
In that case, did the actions of the husband,
compromise his marriage or betray his wife?
In that case, why would he have sinned against God,
by taking pleasure, thinking of his wife, to please himself,
when neither husband or wife are 2 individuals, but 1, in union?
So, according to your logic, unless both, the husband and wife,
experience actual pleasure, satisfaction and intimacy, physically,
they are both offending God and committing sin
So, according to your logic, if a wife,
is just giving her husband a blow job, cuz he wants one,
and, even though she is pleasing him, by doing what he wants,
she receives no actual pleasure or satisfaction, by obliging him,
nor, is he actually satisfied, because her blow jobs suck...
Both are guilty of sin, having offended God
It is a case where the spirit is willing to wait for the wife, but the flesh is weak. It wants what it wants right now.
So, according to your logic, If a husband becomes impotent,
and can no longer please and satisfy his wife, with his penis...
using a sex toy to please his wife, is out of the question
Stop relying on your own understanding...
God is not a killjoy, if you really knew Him,
you'd realize, the one missing the mark, is you!
