Paul faces either to likewise lodge in this drug or lose the starting position he has worked extremely hard for on his team. Pauls want to succeed so badly whitethorn influence teammates pressuring h im into also experimenting with the enhancing drug so he can invite up with the opposites. Paul knows that there are two options, sensation is to bring the sample offered by his teammate thus securing his starting position that has been already threatened that he could possibly lose, or two, refusing the sample and most believably losing his position but incorruptisticly being able to live with that consequence and all possible negative effects that could develop because of taking this drug. issue Beliefs1 Cor.87-13 What would this application due to my conscience?

(Christian Moral and Ethical Dilemmas, deal ings with Dilemmas Predicaments and Sticky Situations n.d.)ResolutionThe Bible does not say anything exactly intimately using drugs. We learn through Scripture that it is although wrongfulness. The Bible tells us that the consistency is a temple of the Holy Spirit and we should honor god with it. (1 Cor. 619-20) Knowing consequences of what drugs can do to our bodies such as harming organs says we would be destroying the temple of the Holy Spirit. In Romans 13 1 it says to follow politics that God himself put into place. By using drugs, we are not side by side(p) authorities but instead going against what God has wanted. Per to this Paul should not be tempted in destroying his body and in so rebelling against authorities God put into place only because of the risk of losing a position on his team.

There is no o ther option to compare to, 2 Cor. 418, Apostle Paul says the physical array is temporary, but the order not seen is eternal. We learn standards by which we should conduct ourselves in situations such as the one Paul faces when the Bible does not take exact instructions on what to do (What is Christian ethics? n.d.). Paul faces a decision that can not only affect him but also affects his teammates and his ability to be truthful in respect of what is wrong and right. His entire future can be formed by qualification this one decision which could have terrible if not possibly acrid consequences for himself or other teammates involved. The comparison between doing something on your own and or using something to enhance your ability clogs your ability to be ethically moral with yourself and others.ConclusionGod does not tolerate evil or moral indifference. To prevent sin from separating ourselves from His Word we must stay in concurrence with his moral order. Only those departing to treat Gods moral order with comparable respect shown by the physical order are completely submissive to the Christian code, there is yet any other system that can claim absolute truth from God sent to humanity. We rely on God and His Word to show moral order (Christian Ethics, n.d). Paul testament feel morally and ethically better if he chooses to resist this temptation presented by his other teammates. Paul also will not have the all sudden added addiction created by drug use nor will he be affected health wise by the negative consequences of the performance- enhancing drug that is being abused by other teammates. His only affect would be of losing his starting position on team but the greater consequence could be death if he chooses wrongly in his decision when teammate offers him the sample of the drug to try.ReferencesChristian Moral and Ethical Dilemmas, traffic with Dilemmas Predicaments and Sticky Situations.
