Question:

Is it a sin to do drugs of any kind? Lately I’ve been going through some personal issues and started doing drugs for a while.

Answer:

God communicates with us through our minds. He made our minds and bodies interactive, so that whatever harms our bodies, also influences and harms our minds, and so our communi-cation with God. Also, the Bible calls our bodies the temple of the Holy Spirit, and tells us to look after our bodies. So yes, harming the body and mind with drugs is not a good thing to do, so stop harming yourself.

1 Corinthians 6     19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 10:31   Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Romans 12:2   And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Remember the key text

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
