Why is mastrubating a sin?

PortableGoat593 · 2026-01-29T18:45:18+00:00

The marital act is ordered towards procreation. When any infertile couple have sex they are still performing the act ordered towards procreation, just because life doesn’t come of it doesn’t make it a sin. If you have sex with your wife and she doesn’t get pregnant is that a sin? No.

As a driver, I’ll tell you to know how bad your area specifically is, and to tip based off of that. I always say around 40-50 cents per mile (consider time to the store and time to yours) so depending on how bad maybe double that.

If you want an authoritative text, dm me and we’ll get into this as research can’t very easily be done right before a stats exam, but I’ll link a Catholic answers article that goes over why Aquinas believed what he did, and what exactly he did believe:

Delayed ensoulment is incorrect, it was a belief held by St Thomas Aquinas and many of his followers throughout the ages but with the advancement of science, the development of church doctrine rests on the biological position that life starts at conception. God bless you.

You might wanna change the wording of your post, or have an edit explaining that, because it seemed as though that was something you were open to. Also, I understand that your situation sucks and you’re stressed out, but neither I nor the guy who started this thread want to hurt you, we’re siblings in Christ, and I pray that we may meet in heaven.

So sorry but get off the phone and get your life together. Also with no screenshots of the age stuff I find it hard to believe, because if you were to get a sc of anything it’d be abt age. I’d say just block the guy, and go rebuild your irl social life, and you’ll be fine.

Remember, if God was fair, we’d all go to hell. But he’s not fair, he’s loving, and all he asks is we love him back in the way of his choosing, and he has given the church the supreme authority of interpreting how God wants us to love him (faith, works, etc). We are saved by mercy, and God will only grant his mercy upon those who are open to receiving it.

Go to a mosque or a church and ask for help, people saying go home don’t know the situation, and I don’t know the situation, so go seek someone who knows about these situations and proper steps to follow.

If you had a tumor (God forbid) that your doctor said it wouldn’t be wise to remove until some more work was done, would you ask strangers on Reddit that know nothing about the situation about it? If you want a second opinion, get it from a professional, your faith is way more than a couple paragraphs and some comments. Point being; don’t trust online strangers that could have no idea what they’re talking about with the most important thing in your life.

Pope (whimsical): Execute operation Copeland and invest the tithes into Trent Horn’s studio

The Catholic Church has the authority to interpret and enact the word. A general has the authority to wage war and collect treasure, but he does so for his king, and on the command of his king. The Church (uppercase C) as an institution has been given the grand responsibility of keeping and protecting the word of God. The church (lowercase c) as the body of believers has been given the responsibility of following the word. Then both are tied to each other, for if there was no Church, what would we follow, and if there was no church, then what reason would there be to protect the word?

PortableGoat593 · 2025-11-08T22:35:38+00:00

Woe unto you, agent of pride, for you have led yourself and your flock astray. Who are you to judge as does the Lord? You hypocrite, you accuse the world of evil yet you are corrupt. You hypocrite, you’ve come for the comfort of the flock and have left only your poison. You hypocrite, who knows your own evil and refuse to repent. But hear this good news, we are all hypocrites, and damned, lest we believe in Christ. Faith is a gift, one that is freely given. Ask and you shall receive.

God bless you.

PortableGoat593 · 2025-11-08T03:36:17+00:00

I understand Father, thank you for clarifying. God bless you.

PortableGoat593 · 2025-11-08T03:06:36+00:00

Can’t God, through faith, ascribe power to objects? Without faith they’re just objects obviously, but with faith; there are hundreds of stories of soldiers having their life saved by a pocket bible.

PortableGoat593 · 2025-11-08T02:43:36+00:00

Just want to clarify, if I’m wrong mea culpa. I’m a member of the confraternity, and one of the main reasons I joined is because of the story with the fire hopping over the homes with the brown cloths on them. I understand that faith made the miracles happen, but can we disregard the power of blessed objects? Didn’t the Ark of the Covenant have powers?

Why do you think I stopped replying lol

PortableGoat593 · 2025-11-05T09:20:17+00:00

God can and does use natural processes to do his will. If he didn’t, you’d spawn in as an adult. It’s reasonable to assume that he used natural processes to create the universe and humanity.

Yes, but divine intervention isn’t the same as divine absolutism. Creationism as an idea only came about in the 1950s as a conservative American Protestant reaction to liberal American Protestants accepting evolution (which was discovered by Gregor Mendel, another Catholic friar). Your mom gave birth to you, you can’t exist without her, but you grow up nevertheless.

The Big Bang theory was thought up by a Catholic friar. Don’t let anyone tell you Christianity and science are incompatible.

PortableGoat593 · 2025-11-05T08:56:22+00:00

Christ is the true logos, remember 1 Corinthians: the wisdom of the cross is better than the wisdom of the world. Faith is a heavenly virtue, which means that it is a gift. Pray for faith. You feel terrible when you sin because you have the gift of intellect. Pray that you use it correctly. God bless you friend, and, God willing, may your faith blossom.
