Do you think doing drugs is sinning??? I mean is there anything in the bible about it saying that it is wrong??? Just wondering and I would like to hear ya'lls thoughts on this ok?

Well, here's what I think: Doing drugs like marijhuana (sp?) and cocaine is habitual and goes against the law. When we do something that we know is bad (like drugs) I believe that to be a sin. That's my opinion.

And yea, i know, i should really start memorizing where these verses are and get some word-for-word verses

(Even if they're linked indirectly)

Good input ladies.... Thanks... But what do you think about legal drugs? Some people beleive that to use any drug that is made by man is a sin, even if it is given to you by a doctor and is legal. (Thats what some people have told me but I don't beleive it myself...) EDIT: For typos

I think that anti-depressants and other medications to treat "psychological disorders" are wrong.[/quote] wow wow WOW! trust me-- those are OKAY with me! My dad is bi-polar. about a year ago he was diagnosed with it. His emotions were so terrible and hard to deal with (anger I didn't know existed, depression that made us need to stay home just in case he decided to kill himself, etc.) that I was actually...happy...because I WANTED something to be wrong so that it meant it wasn't all my dad's fault. Chemical imbalance. The drugs only help him control his emotions. I would definitly say that treating "psychological disorders" is a GOOD thing considering we almost left my dad...actually we did for a day so he'd know we meant we could and would. And my mom was stuggling dramatically with whether she should divorce him or not (not the same person she married, so I can understand it) for me and my 11 yr old sister's sake. I thank Jesus almost every day, now a year later, for helping my daddy recover. But when it comes to the choice of doing it for no good reason whatsoever, then yea, I think it's wrong.

Well, there are people who even refuse to go to doctors because they feel if they're sick, God will either miraculously heal them or will kill them off. *shrug* I personally have to wonder at that, but... Basically, no where in the Bible does it say that taking medication is wrong. The Bible DOES, however, indirectly warn against getting addicted to anything, including drugs. The Bible repeatedly warns about becoming a drunk, calling them unpleasent things. The first commandment is -You will not worship any god but Me (paraphrased). To do drugs- just to do them, mind, for the 'high' or popularity, or whatever- is idolatry. The reason being that if you rely on drugs to make you happy, you are worshiping them instead of God- much like the Jews, in the Old Testament- worshiped Baal. (The books Isaiah and Jeremiah give good examples of what I'm trying to say.) Also, getting addicted to drugs is misusing God's home- you. The Bible does say that when we accept Christ into our lives and choose to worship and follow him, the Holy Spirit comes to 'dwell'- live- inside of us. So, therefore, God expects us to take care of our bodies. As Christians, we are God's spokespeople. (Yes, it's a Bible vers) As such, would should be sure to keep ourselves in good health.

1 corinthians 6:19-20 "Dont you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." there are also verses that talk about being in control of your mind. and drugs make you not able to control your mind so.

Our bodies are God's temple like agene and that other girl was talking about. (sorry i cant remember your name! but i give you credit!:laugh: ) We need medical medicines four our bodies to heal diseases and other sicknesses. But if you take a drug that you know are illegal, then yes that would be a sin. God tells you to obey him, and the authorities of your country. Besides, who the heck would wanna do drugs? They screw up your brain and they smell gross!!
