Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hi Everyone, namaste:

We are now on paragraph 4 in chapter 6 of the First Letter to the Orinthians in the book, "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Remember also that just because something is technically legal doesn't mean that it is spiritually all right.  We can't just go around doing what we think we can get by with.  We don't want to be whimsical.  You know that old saying about first eating to live and then living to eat? These  bodies may only be temporary, but that is no excuse for mistreating them by indulging in too much food and sex.  Honor your body as the temple of God. as I have reminded you before."

Commentary:  Yes, there are many things that are legal, but still harmful to yourself or others, physically and spiritually speaking.  There is no law against drinking 10 bottles of Mountain Dew in one afternoon. There is no law against smoking 20 packs of cigarettes in a day.  There is no law against not exercising every day. There is no law against watching tv all the time. There is no law against being grumpy all the time. It is up to each one of us to take good care of ourselves as far as possible.
