What does the bible say?

It's a sin to get drunk?

Ephesians 5:18 "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit."

And don't make your birthday or new years an excuse to sin. Christianity is about loyalty to God's Word and
God commands you to abide in His law at all times, not just when it is suitable for you.

Jesus said in Luke 9:23 "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and
follow me."

Why can't I get high? It's not like it hurts anyone else

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

What is wrong with looking at pornography?

Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart."

Sex outside of marriage is wrong? What if we are in love?

Ephesians 5:3 "But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you,
as becometh saints."

1 Thessalonians 4:3 "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from
fornication."

Being in love makes no difference when God has commanded you to follow His Word. Who do you love more,
God or your boyfriend or girl friend? What about oral sex? Oral sex is still sex and should not be done outside
of marriage. Even foreplay and heavy kissing is unrighteous for unmarried couples and should be avoided.

1 Corinthians 6:20 "For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit,
which are God’s."

So what do we say about those who say they are a Christian and yet live in these sins?

1 John 2:4 "He who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the
truth is not in him."

Philippians 3:18-19 "For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they
are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is
in their shame, who mind earthly things."

Many of those who profess to know Christ are living in a vain Christianity that will lead them to hell. Only
1 out
of
40 people who say they are Christian are actually born again

Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way
which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
