which part, sex, drugs, or vandalism?
So just a little promiscious sex and a medium amount of drugs then?
is drug use in itself morally vicious?
It could be caught under the 'worshiping graven images' rule. In that you are putting the drug above your service to God. But that would really only apply in terms of addiction.
Well one could argue that its not the drugs in of themselves but the funding of a black market which is morally dubious and therefore a Christian wouldnt want to.
You don't need to think, you need to check scriptures, just so you're getting your ideas from the right place.
Incidentally, what it so far has said to me is to not get drunk, which would suggest taking so much of anything as to loose control. So, you can drink alcohol, but not get drunk.
but if you want to know, you need to get it from the source.
therefore growing weed or self production of drugs would scoot round this yes?
Ok i'll rephrase; Is taking a drug in and of itself inherentlly vicious?
Moreover, if we're talking in a christian moral sense, is it against God, is it a rejection of God, and does it in itself damage our own bodies, or anything else.
I'm not sure if it would have to be a rejection of God.
Some drug use would probably damage the body, though not in an extreme way and would probably be less risky that horse riding which I believe to be considered moral.
I guess it would heavily depend on the drug, how it was used and the user.
In the pure and simple sense, every decision made as a christian needs to be decided on what God thinks of it.
Yes, and because of that I would suggest that personal recreational level of usage would be a personal choice between you and God. Not something that could be proscribed by The Church.
nothing should be proscribed (dude, is that the right spelling?) by the church. As I said to Stargalaxy, don't take my word for it, I could be lying, you need to check the source. Everything should come out of the bible.
Yeah Yeah Yeah,
Just go and do something anything illegal
Nope, I meant proscribe.
Yes, that is the right spelling, from the word proscribe to mean ban, rule out, forbid etc.
You're right about The Church, but, as with any other organisation its flawed by its very human nature.
Indeedy, it isn't just true for the church but for anything, as a christian, I should be checking what the bible says, if I say I believe it, I'd better make sure I know what it says.
Smoking harms my body, so ciggies bad? How about hash cakes? no smoke so no harm to the body but is it good?
The closest I come to a similair substance is alcohol, a drug which is allowed in moderation.
I still don't know.
Yes but so can alcohol. Considering some of the crap we put into our bodies i would less afraid of weed and hash which have been around and used for thousands of years than say GM foods or coca-cola.
