Re: The Root of All Evil?
One could say that masturbating and premarital sex ARE worldy posessions, thus back to my thesis on the meaning of the scripture. In a piece of literature (I don't remember the title) I can recall that "love" of anything more than faith is a sin. Sex is a physical (albeit emotional also) experiece, (physical being the key word) as is masturbation. Both of your exampeles ARE indeed wordly posessions simply because they are not tangible doesn't mean that they are not. The material posession that I make reference to is the act of coitus, with another and self; both of which Jesus makes very specific comments towards regarding the physicality of both and the nature of sin begind both: "do not spill thy own seed"...just something to think about.
