See Rom 14. You who have weaker faith limit the freedoms we have in Christ. While we who have a stronger faith have great freedom in God’s grace.

Is that how you feel about smoking cigarettes? Abortion on demand? Speeding through school zones? Throwing things off bridges into traffic? Car jacking?
Nothing in scripture forbids any of those.
But we have the mind of Christ now, and should be able to see the great darkness inherent in all those things...and more.

Never saw anything about smoking being a sin in scripture or even having a drink, but for the rest of those things you listed are all mentioned in the moral parts of the Mosaic laws that all of us are still to follow with the greatest commandment of love, Matthew 22:36-40. Look up the 613 laws and read through them.

This thread is not about the false teaching of sinless perfection so please stay on the topic of the OP. Views and opinions is all we have on this subject if it does not include lustful thoughts which we all know is sin.

Christians are not under the Law but under God's grace. The flesh involves itself with keeping the law, but we are dead to the Law; we are alive in Christ Jesus.

Romans 7:1-6, "Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage. So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress. So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code."

Sexual lust in any form is a sin. This includes masturbation.

We are under grace as love being the greatest commandment within the moral parts of the laws as we still continue in obedience to God as in prayers and blessings, love and brotherhood. The poor and unfortunate, Marriage, divorce and family. Forbidden sexual relations, business practices, employees and servants. Vows, oaths, swearing, Court and Judicial procedures. Injuries and damages, property and property rights, criminal laws. Prophecy, idolatry and all its practices as the moral laws (commandments) keep us in line with the will of God as we walk in His Spirit.

Not to many know of these laws as it was only in the last 10 years that someone shared this with me.

I really wished you had answered the question.
How does self-stimulation and self-gratification bring glory to God?
