problems accociated with them
won't just hurt us but also
negativly effect the people
around us such as our famil

temple of the holy
spirit, we should
respect that
- However drug
addicts should not be
treated as outcasts
but should be treated
compassionatly and
we should try and
help them recover

the use of medicinal
drugs as our body, the
temple of the holy spirit,
must be protected
- Most christians discourage
smoking because of the
harm it causes but also it's
a waste of money

more. Members of the
salvation army are
teetotal (don't ever drink)
as they see the effects of
it on homeless alcoholics
in their work

drink as they see that

supper and he also
turned water into wine
