Moderate alcohol consumption and moderate roid use is not the same dude. Moderate alcohol use does not harm you. In fact moderate red wine use lowers cholesterol. People in bible times drank only mild wines and beer and those who walked with God avoided drunkenness. Wine was often safer than the water in those days too.
It is a fact my friend that MODERATE roid use has positive affects but ALSO negative negative affects on the body, but we take them because we are vain and love the strength they give us.
You, and many others(not all) have been deceived into thinking that moderate roid use does not have ANY negative impact upon the body.....Tell me dude.... really now.....is the shutting down of natural test production for months a good thing, is the increase in blood pressure that we ALL GET to some degree a good thing, are the high levels of DHT and estrogen a good thing...come on now bro. Take the drugs but please don't say they are good for you. Be smart and do what you can to reduce the harmful aspects but don't be deceived.
God does not approve of anything that harms the body.
God does not approve of vanity.
God does not want us to draw attention us ourselves.
God wants us to lift naturally BUT we don't want to now, and that includes me. But right is right and wrong is wrong. Roid use is not a "grey area" dude not in the eyes of the Almighty.
A real believer will know this in his heart and will some day reject the juice.
Realgains,
I agree with you my friend, except on one point. Nothing in life is as black and white as you put it. Many things harm the body. Drinking, even a very little bit, can cause some degree of harm on the body. Hell, even eating certain foods causes some level of harm. I think the real question is, at what point does the harm interfer with God's will for you. I'm not trying to defend the use of steroids here, as it is obvious that roids can cause serious harm to the body. And not only physical harm, but can change your mentality and distract you from the true things in life, which is why I believe it is wrong for most people to use. Obviously it is ok for some to use for, lets say, physcial rehab after surgery for example, or aids patients, etc.
Though I am not one to practice what I preach in this instance. One day though, I will grow out of this phase, which is really all it is. Those who say it is their life have their priorities in the wrong order.
