God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Sexual lust is definitely a sin and the catalyst for masturbating. But is the actual act itself, apart from lusting in the mind a sin? I believe the answer to that is yes. Masturbation is an aberrant form of sexual intercourse which is to be enjoyed by a married couple only. There is nothing in the Bible which gives approbation to celibate sex [by oneself].
For example, there will be people who will find it easy to identify a weakness or something in which they disagree (doctrine, preference, conviction, philosophy, etc.) and relentlessly harass [their pastors] with books and sermon tapes, website links and personal propaganda (that exceeds the Taliban) in an effort to voice their displeasure and bring them over to their side on the matter. Some will have no comprehension that pastors are only human beings. Their comments will always be critical. Their baggage will be dumped with no desire for personal change. Their comparisons will be made to the top pastors in the world. They will take their pastors for granted. Their perceived role in the church is to be a constant fault-finder. And their expectations will be unreasonable.
FILLING:
GLAZE:
Mix crust ingredients together and press into bottom and against
sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10
minutes. Cool before filling. Drain apricots, saving syrup. Sprinkle
gelatin over cold water in top of double boiler; let stand 5 minutes.
Mix in lightly beaten egg yolks and 1/4 cup apricot syrup. Place over
hot water; cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 10
minutes. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and cool to lukewarm.
Meanwhile, puree 2 cups apricot halves to get a measure of 1 1/2
cups. Save remaining 1/2-3/4 cup apricot halves for topping. Beat egg
until it forms a stiff meringue. Set aside. With same beater, beat
cream cheese with egg yolk mixture and pureed apricots. Fold in
meringue; pour into crust. Chill several hours until firm. While cake
is chilling, prepare Apricot Glaze. Combine all ingredients in a
saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil
and thickens. Cool slightly before glazing cheesecake. Trim top of
cake with remaining apricot halves and the Apricot Glaze.
