Is raving a sin?

There’s a massive debate raging on Facebook at the moment among young UK christians about raving and if it is a sin.  ‘Raving’ for those not in the know is to go night clubbing.  Now, I am wondering why this is even being debated?  Why there is even a need to justify what about this is sin.  Ok here’s a list of why raving IS a sin…

1. The music listened to at a rave is usually ungodly and this could influence christians negatively.

2. Raves are places where people take illegal drugs and are therefore not a good environment for Christians to go to have fun or unwind… this is a place where you are opening up for temptation.

3. Raving is somewhere people go to ‘get laid’, ‘get off’, ‘pull’ etc, etc… dancing body to body will create a problem for even the strongest willed christian out there.

4. Raves often trun nasty esp. black raves (shame on us) where gun shots can be fired by more ignorant types.

5. Even the sinner does not expect to see the christian rubbing shoulders next to him at a rave.  It compromises our ability to show the unsaved the gospel. We become a stumbling block.

There’s 5 simple and obvious reasons christians shouldn’t rave. 

The debate continues on the Facebook group ‘Is Raving A Sin?’.
