    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    This exact same argument has been rehashed since Pauls day. He states in his epistles succinctly: Everything is permissable but not everything is bennificial. It is not that which goes into a man that is sin but what comes out. 'Everything' in moderation... So we are not 'deciding' what...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    BigChrisfilm, I dont think that that is exactly what KyroZetera was implying in the full sense that you took it but Paul states in Romans 14:12 'One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables'. and in 1 Corinthians 8:7 'But not...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    lol, actually i do not 'know' whether Jesus 'rocked' the gange.. but i do know that, taken in moderation, nothing we eat or drink is a sin. The primary source of mans sin comes from the tongue. Pauls own words: 'It's not what goes into a man that is sin, its what comes out'. Also, by no means...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    Ask yourself this, 'why does anyone drink alcohol? for what effect?' By your logic, drinking alcohol surely is a sin: It's highly addictive, toxic, mind-altering, results in lowered inhibition, Destroys lives and careers, causes permanent damage to the liver and brain and results in a...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    Shilby, I guess I am the half wit then? If you followed the full thread you would have noticed the third post by me (in case you skipped it here it is): I would suggest that it depends on why you are doing it. Remember that Paul said, 'everything is permissable but not everything is...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    ephraimanesti, I am somewhat curious as to your position on the consumption of alcohol by Christians. Specificially, moderate and occasional consumption. You have stated some things that are incongruent to me and your position on this would clear things up. I think I recall that some of your...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    I just did some quick searching and found these passages... There are some more passages but I need to go through my notes as I tend to miss things when I skim to quickly. I'll try and get those posted as well asap. I should add that throughout the old testament even, we are allowed to drink...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    Can you in all honesty say that alcohol doesn't do the same things as marjuana? It alters our perceptions, it can be abused... Marjuana just happens to not kill people and it's abuse leads to inactivity and laziness... alcohol abuse leads to violence and broken relationships as well as a bad...

    Is smoking dope bad as a christian?

    I would suggest that it depends on why you are doing it. Remember that Paul said, 'everything is permissable but not everything is beneficial.' If anything takes a hold on your life and competes for Christ's attention then it should be either avoided or seriously considered. Paul also spoke...
