My body is the temple of God!

"18Flee from sexual immorality!. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body!. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God!? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price!. Therefore honor God with your body!." (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

It is the only body I have, so I will take good care of it! Instead of using and abusing it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you own your body but no, you shouldn't do with it whatever you please!. I know people who have serious health problems and continue to eat the wrong things or eat too much or take illegal drugs or drink too much!. I believe that whoever loves you has a stake in your body too!. If you abuse your body and risk your life, then you are causing your loved ones grief!. You owe it to yourself and to the ones that love you to take care of your body so that you can enjoy their company and you theirs for as long as you can!. To do otherwise is foolish and selfish!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

True, we have our free agency to make whatever decisions we wish regarding the treatment of our body, but!.!.!.I believe it is a blessing to have a body and that there is a responsibility to treat it well; as some here have said, as a temple of God!. (so ask yourself, how do you treat a temple of God!?)Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. That is a statement wrongfully denoted!. If you would say this to other people then its wrong!. The body doesn't deserve to be beaten, it is supposed to be taken care of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I can do with it whatever I please, as long as I'm willing to accept responsibility for the consequences of my actions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think you can do with your body something that would hurt other people or society (why not murder with it then)!. So if you're using your body to commit a crime, that's not right!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

with no doubt in my mind, this is my body, my tempel, i could do whatever to it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I do!. I don't have to ask anyone for permission to do anything to or with my body that I choose to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
