Christians oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide because they violate the sanctity of life and God's sovereignty over death (Psalm 139:16). While it is ethically permissible to withdraw extraordinary life-prolonging treatment (allowing natural death), actively causing death is considered usurping God’s role (Exodus 20:13). The Christian response to suffering is to provide palliative care and find redemptive purpose (Romans 5:3–4), not to eliminate the sufferer

Yes, marriage is necessary. For Christians, living together (cohabitation) is not a substitute for the public, lifelong covenant God established (Genesis 2:24). Marriage is necessary because it honors God's design, provides covenantal protection, and is the only context where sexual intimacy is not considered sexual immorality (Hebrews 13:4). The unmarried Christian is commanded to practice purity and self-control (1 Thessalonians 4:3–4).

A Christian affirms the separation of church and state as institutions to protect the Church's freedom and spiritual mission, based on Christ’s command to render to Caesar and to God (Matthew 22:21). The State has its distinct role of maintaining order (Romans 13:4). However, Christians must reject the separation of faith from public life, as they are commanded to be salt and light and advocate for biblical justice and morality in civil society (Matthew 5:13, 16).

A Christian response to "woke politics" requires discernment. We must affirm the mandate for justice and mercy (Micah 6:8) when real injustices are highlighted. However, we must reject the unbiblical philosophies that deny universal sin and objective truth (Colossians 2:8). The Christian's ultimate focus is on identity in Christ (Colossians 3:11) and the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18), responding to all dialogue with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15).

The Christian woman holds equal value with men (Galatians 3:28) but fulfills a distinct, complementary role (Genesis 2:18). While secular feminism promotes self-actualization, biblical womanhood finds ultimate purpose in sacrificial service, wisdom, and nurturing influence in the home and community (Titus 2:4–5). The biblical woman is characterized by strength, dignity, and honor and is called to speak with wisdom (Proverbs 31:25–26), reflecting a powerful Christ-like character.  

The Christian man's role is defined by sacrificial, Christ-like leadership (Ephesians 5:25). While culture may seek to weaken or redefine masculinity, the Bible commands Christian men to be courageous and strong (1 Corinthians 16:13). This involves spiritual vigilance, being the protector and provider of his household (1 Timothy 5:8), and embodying self-control and power (2 Timothy 1:7) as a moral anchor in society.

A Christian should be cautious of fast fashion due to its conflict with biblical principles of justice and stewardship. The low cost often relies on exploiting workers and withholding fair wages (James 5:4; Deuteronomy 24:14–15), which God strongly condemns. Furthermore, it encourages excessive consumerism (Hebrews 13:5) and violates the mandate to care for creation (Genesis 2:15). Believers should prioritize quality, ethical sourcing, and second-hand alternatives.  

A Christian must not waste food. This practice dishonors God's provision (Psalm 145:15–16) and conflicts with the ethical duty to care for the poor (Matthew 25:42, 45). Jesus' direct command to "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted" (John 6:12) is the standard for responsible stewardship. Believers should practice mindful consumption, planning, and generosity to ensure resources are used wisely.  

A Christian must evaluate marijuana legalization by balancing mercy with stewardship. While medicinal use to alleviate suffering can align with biblical compassion (Psalm 147:3), recreational use is risky because it conflicts with the duty of bodily stewardship and the command to avoid anything that leads to impaired judgment (1 Corinthians 6:19–20; Ephesians 5:18). Ultimately, Christians should advocate for laws that promote justice and respect governing authorities (Romans 13:1), while personally maintaining self-control.

When a child’s education is ungodly, the Christian parent must intensify biblical instruction at home, acting as the chief spiritual educator (Deuteronomy 6:6–7). The goal is to equip the child to process conflicting ideas through biblical discernment, guarding against hollow and deceptive philosophy (Colossians 2:8). If the conflict becomes spiritually destructive, parents must prayerfully consider changing the environment through advocacy, Christian school, or homeschooling—prioritizing the child's spiritual health above all else.

A Christian must approach Critical Race Theory (CRT) with discernment. While CRT’s focus on systemic injustice aligns with the prophets who condemned institutional sin (Isaiah 3:14), its philosophical roots conflict with core doctrine. Specifically, the Bible teaches identity in Christ transcends race (Colossians 3:11), and sin is a universal heart condition (Romans 3:23), not just a structural power problem. The Christian mandate is to seek reconciliation through the Gospel (2 Corinthians 5:18).

A Christian must affirm objective morality, meaning certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of opinion. This standard is rooted not in cultural views but in the unchanging character of a holy God (Psalm 145:17). Subjective morality fails to account for the universal human conscience (Romans 2:14–15) and undermines universal human rights. The Christian's call is to pursue holiness by conforming their lives to this fixed, objective truth (1 Peter 1:15–16).

Your purpose is defined by two calls: the universal call to glorify God and make disciples (1 Corinthians 10:31; Matthew 28:19), and the individual call which is the unique way you are designed to serve. You discern this by examining your spiritual gifts (1 Peter 4:10), your passions (Psalm 37:4), and your experiences (Romans 8:28). Clarity comes through action, service, and confirmation from your Christian community.

A Christian should not read horoscopes or consult Tarot cards. The Bible strictly condemns all forms of divination and sorcery as detestable to the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:10–12). These practices are forbidden because they challenge the sufficiency of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16) and show a lack of trust in God's guidance and provision (Proverbs 3:5). Believers are called to seek wisdom through prayer, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible (James 1:5).  

The Christian should generally avoid playing the lottery. While not explicitly forbidden, the practice encourages greed and the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10), violates the principle of diligent stewardship of God's resources, and relies on chance rather than trust in God's provision (Proverbs 11:28). Believers are warned against seeking hasty riches and should prioritize using resources for charity and responsible saving (Proverbs 13:11).  

Christians are not bound by the specific Jewish Sabbath Law, as Christ is its fulfillment and the Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28; Colossians 2:16–17). However, the Principle of the Sabbath—setting aside time for rest and worship—remains vital. Working becomes an issue when it prevents the Christian from fulfilling the command to meet together (Hebrews 10:25) and leads to spiritual burnout. Work of necessity or mercy is permissible, but believers should seek rest (Psalm 127:1–2).  

Christians stay strong by recognizing that societal rejection is expected (1 Peter 4:4). The key is to anchor identity in Christ (Matthew 5:11–12), be prepared to give an answer with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15), and to silence critics with a life of good deeds (1 Peter 3:17). Spiritual strength is maintained through Scripture, prayer, and community (Hebrews 3:13).  

The Christian teaching is that sexual intimacy is reserved exclusively for the covenant of marriage, where two people become one flesh (Genesis 2:24). Engaging in sex before this commitment is considered sexual immorality (porneia) and is strongly warned against, as it separates the physical act from its foundational covenant, leading to potential spiritual and emotional harm. Believers are called to flee sexual immorality and practice self-control (1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5).
