IT'S ALL IN HOW YOU USE SOMETHING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW YOU ACT. IF STEROIDS MAKE YOU COCKY, SINGLE MINDED, TURN YOU INTO A BULLY/HOT HEAD, OR A SCAMMER THEN YES IT WOULD BE A SIN. IF YOU TAKE STEROIDS AND LOVE GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOR THEN I DO NOT SEE USING THEM AS BEING A SIN GIVEN YOU DO NOT TAKE SO MUCH YOU DERSTROY THE TEMPLE WHICH IS YOUR BODY. THE BIBLE TEACHES IT'S NOT WHAT GOES INTO A MAN THAT DEFILES HIM BUT WHAT COMES OUT AND GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART NOT MAN (THIS INCLUDES ALL PREACHERS!)
AND LIKE I TOLD DOOIE REGARDING STEROIDS BEING ILLEGAL IN THE U.S- "If it's a sin to use anabolics in the u.s. where they are illegal then it's still a sin to use them in countires where it's legal. For example; the bible teaches that jesus turned water into wine and said drink and be merry (just for the record i do not drink alcohol anymore nor do i condone a lifestye of drunkedness which is the abuse of alcohol but i do not judge others who do so). now during the prohibition it was man (government anda failry cooked one at that that made alcohol illegal). Now did that mean during that era that it was now sinful in gods eyes for those who drank illegally but it was okay for those in other countries to drink if it was still legal? That would make no sense at all! And would it mean that since our government has once again legalized alcohol it's not a sin anymore to drink. My point being is that man (crooked/messed up goverment) made steroids illegal back in the 80's not GOD so I do not see it as a sin if used properly.Unfortunately our goverment continues to make poor decisions which have a negative impact on everyone's well being." /QUOTE]ABOVE
