The original reply about Christian conduct, drinking, and God’s temple
Claim examined: God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit
Scriptural Answer
You wrote, "How can we claim to be a Christian, yet continue to live in a life of sin; drinking, partying, etc.?? And worse, how can we be a Christian and not follow the commands Jesus gave us?" Amen and Amen to your comments here. One CANNOT drink, party etc. and still be considered a child of God. rod is WRONG in his post saying that there is nothing wrong with drinking. God says in 1 Cor. 3:16-17, "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." NKJV
