781 | is marijuana against the bible | Rom 12:1 | azurelaw | 210165 | ||
Dear lilman, Could you please be more specific with your question? Do you mean mis-use of marijuana? Though there is no literal mention of marijuana (as per my understanding) in the bible, His Holy Word provides us clear guideline for christians' moral behaviour. Please read 2 Corinthians Ch 6, 1 Peter 1:13-19, 1 Peter 2:11-12. Shalom Azure |

Hi again, lilman, In addition to my previous answer, please also consider the below scripture that you may know better about what does bible say despite we are facing some questions seemingingly fall in the gray area. Shalom Azure 1 Cor 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or WHATEVER YOU DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD. 1 Cor 10:32 Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; 1 Cor 10:33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. |

783 | reasons to use wordly ways to win others | Rom 12:2 | azurelaw | 220746 | ||
Dear greenthumb, What do you mean by worldly speech, amusement, habits, etc.? This will help answering the question more properly and to the point. 1 Pet 1:14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 1 Pet 1:15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; John 13:34 '"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Acts 2:46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, Acts 2:47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Shalom Azure |

Dear thenoel, As far as I know, there is no scripture specifically forbit being active at 2 churches or more. The issue lies more on whether it is practical to do so for the Lord requires of His servant be faithful. (Luke 16:10) Shalom Azure |

787 | Is drinking a sin? | Rom 13:13 | azurelaw | 188752 | ||

Please read 1 Cor 6:10 Shalom Azure |

789 | what would be my role in church | 1 Corinthians | azurelaw | 174963 | ||
Dear tyree, May I suggest you read Romans 12:3-8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-31. According to the scripture, especially in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, I don't think anybody possess all the spiritual gifts with equal balance. There must be an outstanding one. So, in that case, it wouldn't be difficult to identify your role in church. Please correct me if I am wrong. In Christ azure |

Dear PumpHouse, Please read 1 Corinthians chapter 7 and Mark chapter 10. However, mind you that the situation described is very complicated and is beyond the scope and purpose of the Forum to tackle.

Dear gailj, Timothy is not Paul's biological son, but his child in the Lord. 1 cor 4:17 For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord,... In other words, Paul is Tim's mentor / godfather (in modern terms) I would say. Shalom Azure |

800 | Is being drunk a sin? | 1 Cor 6:10 | azurelaw | 238680 | ||
Dear Ichoose, Welcome to the forum. Of course it is not an appropriate answer to the question, because Eph 8:15 does not exist :-) I think you meant Eph 5:18 which on the contrary a teaching of Paul's about pursuing holiness. I would also suggest another verse concerning the problem of drunkenness - 1 cor 6:10. Shalom Azure |
