Uh... Stompy, read the first post again. And no one is "saved from sin." If you sin and then repent and really mean it, God will forgive you, but you still sinned the same as anyone else.

The thing about the Genesis verse is that the dumbfuck Catholic church took shit out of context. God was pissed because Onan did not impregnate the woman, not because Onan jizzed on the ground. Just another thing that moron religious people screwed up.

MASTURBATION IN ITSELF IS NOT A SIN. You don't have to repent for it. However, if you think about a man/woman (who is not your husband/wife, even if you aren't married yet) while you wank, THAT is a sin. Lusting is a sin, and coveting another person's spouse is a sin, but the Bible says NOTHING about masturbation being a sin.
