The Church as we know it has become a dangerous adversary that (unlike The Church which existed in those arcane previous ages) shifts with the stream of new ideas and revolutionary theories.
If you didn't get it...
1. Church has never quite explicitly (or coherently for that matter) explained
about many things, we have a case where they say that; if there is intelligent
life outside this atmosphere; they would fully embrace it... (get this...)
AS ANOTHER PROOF OF EXISTENCE, GREAT WISDOM AND CREATIVITY OF OUR LORD.
From the beggining of time as we know it, there has been a need for reproduction,
satisfaction and sexual pleasure.
2. We must note that one of the most beautiful and precious songs written during
the Church's existence is the infamous "Song Above All Songs" which by the way...
- Is filled with erotic charges
- Has explicit language describing a woman and man during intercourse in detail
- Has the most perverse names for reproductory organs
- Ad Facta was, is, and will be the greatest mistake of The Church
which (as you say and we know) considers;;;;
- Sex before marriage a sin
- Masturbation is a sin
- Any word that could have a remote sexual meaning (example: cherry, puffy etc...)
is considered to be the word of Lucifer.
The Church had not so recently concluded that their devoter followers
must explore their bodies if they wish to know more about themselves,
they also should be very careful about the quantites of sexual pleasure
the allow themselves, because too much may lead to the corruption of the Soul.
IN SHORT:
The Church tells you this;
- You can masturbate, it is not dirty; but masturbate once in a week.
- If you masturbate every day; YOU HAVE A TICKET TO HELL
- The only way to save yourself is to repent and stop doing it every day...
That IS the official position of The Church...
And might I add, a very disturbed one...
P.S. As an example, I took Christian Church, there are however certain religions
are much more flexible (Muslims may have four wives and masturbate as much as
they like).
