Lust Wrong Definition in Bible Taken Out of Context
http://inkaboutit4u.com/?p=Lust_Wrong_Bible_Definition_Taken_Out_of_Context
Loving Sexual fantasies or desires are not evil. They are a very important part of God's sexual designed.
Masturbation is a gift of God. Sex is a gift of God to us. Sexual lust is not evil lust, it is God designed human nature. Evil lust is hurtful and harmful to humans. Masturbation is healthy. Masturbation is good. Masturbation is God designed. Masturbation is good for you. Masturbation is for everyone to enjoy.
If you condemn sexual lust and sexual fantasies and sexual desires you are condemning God’s design of sexuality.
If you condemn sexual lust and sexual fantasies and sexual desires you are condemning Gods design of sexuality.
One major concern about sexuality for Christians is sexual lust. They feel that according to Matt. 5:28 that if you lust after a women you commit adultery. So sexual lust is a big concern.
I feel that Matt 5:28-30 is greatly misunderstood and greatly taken out of context.
Major contradiction-- verse used by anti-nudist people. Matt. 5:28 is totally misunderstood and taken out of context. look at a women with lust...adultery
God designed every detail of our sexuality and said it was very good. An important part of God’s design is sexual lust and sexual fantasies. If a person could remove 100% sexual lust and sexual fantasies then God’s sexual design would not work. Without sexual lust and sexual fantasies and sexual desires, sexual hormones then there would be no babies and the human race would disappear from the earth. Look at the strong sex drive God designed into animals. Do you condemn animal for acting the way God designed them to act? Why do you condemn humans? God designed humans with a strong sex drive also. What list of sex rules did he give Adam and Eve?
Before puberty most children have little or no sexual fantasies or sexual desire. Most sexual lust and sexual fantasies and sexual desires, sexual hormones takes place after puberty. Before puberty guys mostly played with guys and girls play with girl and call the opposite sex names. Then after puberty and increase sex hormones then boys chase after girls and girls chase after boys. And there is a great increase in sexual lust, sexual fantasies, sexual desires, sexual hormones and boys want to have sex with girls and girl want to have sex with boys. This is God design, not our design but God’s. God gave us strong sex drive for many reasons. This is God’s design so don’t condemn it. We need to apply the law of love to it.
Do not just read one Bible verse (Matt 5:28) and make your conclusion about human sexual lust, which many do.
Look at Song of Solomon and all the sexual lust and they are not married. Look at all the sexual lust in all the Bible and that is not condemned. Jesus did not come to make changes to sexuality other then the law of love. He did not come to condemn every one of God design sexual lust and sexual fantasies. The Sermon on the Mount has be great misunderstood and has brought much legalism into the Church. If God had a major hang up with our sexuality he would have given Adam and Eve a long list of sex rules. He did not.
Lust is greatly misunderstood and misused by people. They forget God designed it and said it was good. We need to apply the law of love to it. We should not go around with a holier-then-thou attitude about sexual lust, sexual fantasies, sexual desires condemn all we see.
Sexual lust is not evil. Evil lust is evil. Lust to murder. Lust to steal. Lust to lie. Lust to hurt someone. Lust to hate.
Sexual lust, sexual fantasies, and sexual desires are not evil, they are God’s design. King David and Solomon and many others Godly leaders, had a lot of lust for women and nothing wrong with that.
Don’t call Gods design evil. Look at some of these web sites.
Take a look at some very sexy verses from the Song of Song. Song of Songs is a very sexy and lusty book in the Bible which most preaches avoid or if they read it they change it all around to try to make it mean something else.
One Savior--Jesus Christ, One God--our creator God, One Command-- go and tell everyone, One law to follow-- the law of love (the whole law is fulfilled in one law-- the law of love), One heaven-Jesus went to prepare a place for us, One hell-- for non-believers, One heaven- for believer, One work to do--to trust in Christ.

Bible Sexuality and Christianity
Masturbation Lust, sin, and Guilt free Masturbation and the Bible
JTCL said:3) Masturbation in the long run increases lust in my opinion rather than relieves it as you believe.
My reply: If all you can think of is sexuality and then, after you masturbate, your mind is clear and the stress removed. Just like if you have to go to the bathroom to urinate, but you resist, all you can think about is that you need to urinate. Then once you give in and meet that basic need to urinate, then your mind is clear and you can refocus on what you were doing.
Masturbation only take a few minutes, otherwise you thinking about sex may take hours of distraction. The longer you resist, the long you waste time thinking about sexual things, when you could be concentrating more on what you should be doing. I have learned over many years that the sooner I masturbate, the sooner my mind is cleared up and I can concentrate on the job I'm doing.

Some important high lights, conclusions about Masturbation.
How a Christian man can Masturbate, sin-free, lust-free, Guilt- free. Part 1
Wanking: the last taboo---Christian minister David McKay* Instead of trying to stop people from mastur-bating, the church should be encouraging them to do so.
JTCL said:4) Masturbation almost always leads to fantasies. Sow a fantasy.. reap an act.
My reply: All these web site listed below, talk about fantasies. Also remember you have many fantasies that you don't think are sinful. Just because you have faulty programming of the past does not mean what you think is always 100% correct. Sexual fantasies are 100% normal for any red hot blooded males including very Godly Christians. It is built in to our nature. If you condemn normal healthy sexual fantasies, then you have to condemn every person in the world everyday, almost every few hours, of their life, both Christian and non-Christian. Including yourself.
(What does the Bible say?)
(Do you feel guilty when you masturbate?)
( Matt 5:28 misunderstood.)
(Minister explains why masturbation should be encouraged, not condemned.)
(Many healthy benefit for those that have guilt free masturbation.)
JTCL said:5) God will help you with sexual frustration if you ask him. Also God will forgive
when you fall.
My Reply: God did help. He gave us masturbation to help. Just like God meet our other basic needs.
5. An important purpose of intimate sexual relations is to give pleasure to the spouse (to bring gratification to the other). ...Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency" (I Corinthians 7:1-5). Masturbation brings self gratification.
My reply: He forgot to mention that they got married at puberty (12-14 years old) and Paul is warning against sexual starvation, (which the church is promoting )or "Satan tempt you not for your incontinence" which support masturbation so Satan can't get a foothold. To masturbate and not meet your wife's needs is selfish and stupid. Love your wife is loving yourself. Intercourse is masturbation without hands for both man and women. When your wife is missing then you have to make do with your hand or something else. Masturbation teaches you to be a better lover to your wife. People who are hung up with masturbation make poor lovers.
9. We are to flee youthful lust (II Timothy 2:22). Masturbation is often tied to youthful lusts.
My reply: Masturbation is for a life time, starting at puberty and ending when you die. Just like all the other basic need we have daily that started at birth. Remember they got married at 12 - 14 years old. Remember there are many other "youthful lust". Why do most people only think of sex. Sexuality is a life long desire not only for the youth.
Thanks for your time

Fornication define in 1 Cor 10:8 compare to Nu 25: 1-9 Describe fornication activity which is using sex as part of worship to a pagan fertility god.
1 Cor 10:8 We must not be guilty of sexual immorality, (Fornication) as some of them were - and in one day twenty-three thousand of them fell dead.
Nu 25: 1 While the people of Israel were still camped at Acacia, the men began sinning sexually with Moabite women. 2 The women invited them to their sacrifices to their gods, and the Israelites ate food there and worshiped these gods. 3 So the Israelites began to worship Baal of Peor, and the Lord was very angry with them. 4 The Lord said to Moses, "Get all the leaders of the people and kill them in open daylight in the presence of the Lord. Then the Lord will not be angry with the people of Israel." 5 So Moses said to Israel's judges, "Each of you must put to death your people who have become worshipers of Baal of Peor." 6 Moses and the Israelites were gathered at the entrance to the Meeting Tent, crying there. Then an Israelite man brought a Midianite woman to his brothers in plain sight of Moses and all the people. 7 Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, so he left the meeting and got his spear. 8 He followed the Israelite into his tent and drove his spear through both the Israelite man and the Midianite wo-man. Then the terrible sickness among the Israelites stopped. 9 This sickness had killed twenty-four thousand people.
Lust
· Lust
Lust [N] [B] sinful longing; the inward sin which leads to the falling away from God ( Romans 1:21 ).
Dictionaries - Easton's Bible Dictionary - Lust
The New Century version does not use the confusing word “Lust”. Most people misunderstand the word “lust”. Dictionary lust “is sinful desire”. So is lust a sin? Yes because they define it as a “sinful desire”.
So then people think sexual desire is a sin because they have a misunderstanding of “sexual lust” as being the same as “sexual desire”, it is not the same. Not the same thing.
God made sexuality and said it was very good. Gen 3:16 If you add something sinful to sexuality, then it is a sin. Example: use sex to worship a pagan fertility god is sinful or sinful sex or “sexual lust”. But normal healthy sexual desire that God designed at creation is very good per God in Gen 3:16.
See Sexual sin in Isaiah 57:5
For Isaiah 57:5 in the Good News Translation explain what is really going on, that they are using sex to worship their pagan fertility gods and they are give human baby sacrifice to the pagan fertility god. The other versions do not make this clear what is really going on, you have to study the contact and read more to discover what is going on here. Just reading the other version you may misunderstand what is happening here.
