Let's Go Back to the Bible

Does legalizing it make it right?

How is a Christian to determine what is right and what is wrong? How much should the legalization of certain substances or practices influence a Christian’s stance? Is it the American legislators and courts that get to define righteousness and lawlessness?

Does it make it right in the eyes of God and therefore indisputably acceptable to Christians when man legalizes alcohol, marijuana, prostitution, homosexuality, gambling, etc., etc.? Should a Christian concede and just accept the “new law” and all that goes with it? Or, should a Christian hold his ground and defend Biblical truth?

As children of God, we are called to “listen” to God “more” than man (Acts 4:19), to “obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29), to “fear God and keep His commandments” (Ecc. 12:13), to “speak as the oracles of God” (1 Pet. 4:11; Phil. 1:17), to love righteousness and hate lawlessness (Heb. 1:9; Psa. 119:104; 97:10). Making it legal doesn’t make it right!
