does the bible say anything about.....?

Question

lesbian sex, pornography, drugs, smoking, masturbation? i bet god didnt see that coming.

nice one about lesbian sex...although its vague, i guess it's acceptable.

i dont agree with fornication. it has nothing to do with pornography... its the sexual act between unmarried couples

sorcery is not related much with alchemy so i dont agree with that too. "This is from the Greek 'mageia' it refers to magic"

and sorcerer is magician or wise man. so there's nothing wrong with that.

Answer 1

You bet it does:

Lesbian sex: Romans 1:26-27, "26For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."

Pornography: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, "9Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor £homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." (the word fornicator comes from the word pornos in Greek where we get our word pornography).

Durgs: Galatians 5:19-21, "19Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21envy, £murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." (The word for sorcery in the Greek is Pharmakeia it is the use of mind altering drugs)

Smoking is not mentioned in Scripture and no one would tell you somking in and of itself is a sin. I know many Christians who smoke. I am a pastor and I smoke a pipe. The problem is addiction. The Bible forbids addiction 1 Corinthians 6:12, "12All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." So smoking a cigarette is not a sin being addicted to anything is.

Masturbation is also not forbidden in Scripture. Many people may take offense to that but they cannot find a Scripture that says it's wrong or forbidden. Some use a passage in Genesis 38:9 when a man ejaculated on the ground instead of in his wife as a text to say masturbation is wrong. But the text does not say he masturbated it says he emitted on the ground and there is a big difference. For a singe person who is trying to avoid sexual sin it may be a very realistic option. For a married man I would not suggest it thats why you're married. Masturbating with pornography would be a sin as we are not to engage in pornography and we are not to think sexually explicit thoughts about other people besides our spouse but again no where it is forbidden in Scripture.

I hope those answers help. In any case I would stop trying to find excuses to not believe the Bible and I would accept Jesus Christ as my Savior if I was you. He died for your sins and He loves you. Repent of your sin and ask Him into your life.

God bless.

Answer 2

Lesbian sex could be considered to be no different from male/male homosexuality. Drugs and smoking are probably fine when not used in excess because alcohol is always used in the bible and consumed by noble men. Alcohol is the most harmful drug statistically by casualties and withdraw symptoms. Pornography, well their is plenty of that in the bible. Masturbation, I'm not sure about that.
