You'll probably end up getting a lot of different views for this thread, so just be ready for a little bantering and arguing. If you really want to know, I'd suggest talking with someone face to face who really knows what they're talking about. I could give you my opinion, but I think that talking to someone who you trust knows what they're talking about will end up giving you the best answers. Good questions!

1. In moderation, wine is OK. However, it's probably best to avoid it if you can.
2. Your body is a temple. What do you think is best?
3. Depends on what sort of dancing we're talking about - most nightclubs I've been to are hardly edifying Christian environments.
4. For your spouse, sure. For anyone else, no.

A good rule of thumb (and, I know it's cliched) is, "Would Jesus do this?"

I definitely agree with that! Talk to your pastor or an adult who you trust.

HAHHAHAAAHA WOULD JESUS MODEL A THONG?! UHM NO....
but thongs are good for a lot of reasons to the females, and my wife can have one if she wants one AND I WONT COMPLAIN! and i THINK GOD MADE VICTORIA SECRET! hahaha.

uhm...ok....sorry.

i think i agree with franklinnoble.
except i dont think wine is good period, the bible doesnt condemn a little wine but i think the proverbs teach its just wise to stay clear of it.

quite honestly, didn't jesus drink wine? Granted this wine is seen as weaker than the stuff we have now... Um. i dont think drinking wine or alcohol in moderation is bad, i personally have a drink at home every couple of days.
Smoking without getting high.. You see the difference between this and the first one, is that it negitively affects your body... and if your body is the temple of god.. then i would suggest not...

Uh now dancing in niteclubs.. it depends on the environment and the situtaion.... are you going to be judged by non-christians? Ie i won't go to a pub and drink in the town where i live, but i will with a friend in my hometown (few people know me now), the difference is "are you doing what is right in the eyes of everyone." and also are you being godly there.. are you dirty dancing, or hooking up with a guy, or simply dancing with a couple of girl friends...

 

[Inperfected]

and modelling Lingerie... welll do you have a husband, and isit for him? if not then uh no probably not a biblically, or logically wise idea...

 

[Endure2]

but hey, what about the magazines? im not trying to be a perve and fight for my right to look at them lingerie magazines, but i dont think women who do that for a living are wrong. theyre just selling clothing.
but hey, this isnt something i know alot about.........
