Christianity and the consumption of Alcohol, THC, Tobacco-Nicotine, and other regulated, non-regulated narcotics…

Subsequent my OP titled “Is it wise for a Christian to consume alcohol,” I’ve received some serious “push-back” and worldly inspired attempts to justify Christian compromise with mind/conscience altering behavior. Let me be clear and explain why alcohol and other such drugs are a NO GO for the Christian who sincerely seeks to please the Father through obedience to the Holy Spirit via sanctification.

Alcohol for the Christian is a compromise with the World, a fallen and evil World that hates our God and glorifies the Devil. Alcohol, a depressant, lowers inhibitions and manipulates the human conscience, the human conscience which is employed by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant to sanctify, guide, the redeemed in Jesus in holiness, righteousness, obedience, via the daily process of sanctification as the Holy Spirit prepares the redeemed for service in the New Jerusalem; therefore, ingesting, consuming, that which alters and manipulates the conscience apart from the Spirit is negating the Father’s will for your life and mocking the suffering of Messiah who gave Himself for your redemption, a redemption that makes sanctification by the Spirit possible.

Why consume that which gives place for the Devil in your life and grieves the Holy Spirit given you as Guarantor of Covenant with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14)? Why consume that which thwarts the eternally relevant work of the Holy Spirit in your life?

Christians have no business ingesting, smoking, consuming, alcohol, THC-cannabis, nicotine-tobacco or any illicit narcotic or drug (other than legitimate medical prescriptions) that alters the conscience and consequently wars against the Holy Spirit’s leadership, tutelage, anointing, sanctification. You injure your walk and your testimony when you seek to justify your compromise with the Devil.

Ephesians 4:27-30,

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
