taking illegal drugs is

The BIBLE
The Bible teaches that
Christians should obey the
law of the land, which
includes the law on drugs.
CRIME
The BODY
Our body is a gift from
God and we should not
abuse or misuse it – drugs
harm the body and that
which God has created.
FAMILY
Many drug users turn to
crime to fund their habit,
this leads to sin and goes
against the teaching of
Christianity.
Drug abuse can break
down marriages and family
relationships and can make
people anti-social.
BEHAVIOUR
MY OPINION…
Illegal drugs have a
powerful effect on
people’s behaviour and can
make them behave badly
or act in ways Christians
should not.
Which of these
reasons (if any) do you
agree with and why?

EXPLAIN WHY.
During the LAST SUPPER,
Jesus gave his disciples wine
during the first HOLY
COMMUNION or EUCHARIST.
Jesus himself drank wine and
even preformed a miracle at a
wedding turning water into
wine.
The Bible does not forbid the drinking of
alcohol.
Most Christian
churches, such as Roman
Catholics and Church of
England, do not forbid
the drinking of alcohol
and use wine during holy
communion.
None of the Christian teachings
suggest that drinking alcohol is
SINFUL.
However there are many
teachings that warn against
drinking too much because…
‘Getting drunk on wine leads
to bad behaviour’
(Ephesians 5:18)
What is the meaning of this
quote?
What does it mean by BAD
BEHAVIOUR?
So Christians who do drink
should do so in MODERATION.
There are SOME
Christians who choose
NOT to drink alcohol AT
ALL (e.g. The Salvation
Army).
These Christians DO NOT
believe drinking alcohol is
SINFUL but that it is
simple best to AVOID it.

EXPLAINING WHY.
Drinking alcohol can impair
a person’s judgments and
reduce their ability to act
in a Christian way.
People drank wine in biblical times because
there was little else for them to drink – as
there are lots of other types of drink
available now there is no need for alcohol.
Drinking can
cause you to
offend
others so it
is better to
not drink.
In biblical times people drank wine
or ale only; today alcohol is much
stronger and therefore more
dangerous to a persons health and
society.
Grade B

attitudes to

Draw a pyramid in the back of
your books and spit it into 3...
Think of a question you
would like answering.
What have you been
reminded of today?
What have you learnt
today?
Match the Christian teaching to the
Biblical quote…
“Your body is the Temple of
the Holy Spirit , who lives in
you and was given to you by
God”
A little bit of alcohol is ok and can
have benefits to your health.
“Do not get drunk with wine,
which will ruin you, but instead
be filled with the Holy Spirit”
Drugs can take over people’s lives
and control them.
“Do not drink water only but
take a little wine to help your
digestion, since you are ill so
often”
Your body is God’s temple so you
should not harm it as it would be
disrespectful to God.
“Drug abuse is the new
slavery”
Pope John Paul II
Focus yourself on your religion
rather than alcohol which can harm
you.
