1 Cor 6:19 'Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 1 Cor 6:20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body'.

Yes. And? Moderate use of all things not condemned by God can be a great blessing, and honoring to God. Binding one’s conscience to the non-biblical restrictions of others is problematic.

Moderate use of all things not condemned by God can be a great blessing, and honoring to God.

And those that are Holy Spirit filled see honoring God is honoring His Word 'Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

If I am not my own, why would I do anything that HE who is in me wouldn't? If I did, it would be to satisfy my own wants/desires.

Binding one’s conscience to the non-biblical restrictions of others is problematic.

It all depends on how deeply one meditates on that Scripture. When He says the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and I am not my own, I take it seriously. I don't need to see a list of do's and don'ts (that's religion) to make an honest assessment of what "I" chose to allow into the temple of the HS.

So it is nothing to do with restrictions or lack of restrictions 'others' place on/in their body. Scripture speaks to me. Some are not Holy Spirit filled - so that Scripture would mean nothing to them.

We are all at different levels of growth as daily The Word refines us in different areas of our life, as you know. But since you asked Is that in the Bible, or did you read it on a fortune cookie or something?, I showed you where, FOR ME, it is in the Bible - 1 Cor 6:19-20.

1 Cor 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

1 Cor 10:23 Looking at it one way, you could say, "Anything goes. Because of God's immense generosity and grace, we don't have to dissect and scrutinize every action to see if it will pass muster." But the point is not to just get by.

Should we go through a list of things not specifically condemned by God in Scripture?
