WOMAN WAS IN HELL FOR MASTURBATION!!!

I know that this topic is a loaded pandora's box... it is my guess that most Christians stay confused about whether or not this is really a sin. My personal opinion is that God is utterly "Holy" and pure and wants us to be as well....I also know that we cannot be perfect while we are still in this body. I just beg my Lord to forgive me for my weaknesses and sins and help me to walk with Him in a way that is pleasing to Him. I don't think it is acceptable to just go around willfully sinning and blaming it on our "weaknesses"....the Lord knows our hearts and he knows if our hearts are right with Him. He is a merciful and Holy Father....THANK YOU LORD. Barb
