COMING SOON…
You have a mini exam coming up soon...
This will allow me to see how well you have taken on board the information and content of this unit
as well as assessing your exam technique.
Use your REVISION GUIDE to REVISE this unit CRIME AND PUNISHMENT to prepare for this exam.
OBJECTIVE…
To use media clips, the law, and picture clues
to understand Christian attitudes to drugs and
alcohol.
Grade CAll will be able to describe
Christian attitudes to illegal drugs.
Grade BMost will be able to explain
different Christian attitudes to alcohol.
Grade A/A*Some will be able to express an opinion on Christian attitudes to

Your GOALS for the end of
this lesson are…
OUTCOMES…
Starter…
Why do we have laws dealing with drugs and alcohol?
Do you think UK laws protect people in the UK from the
dangers of drugs and alcohol?
It is an offence for anyone to buy, or try
to buy alcohol on behalf of a
child.It is illegal for anyone under the
age of 18 to buy, or try
to buy alcohol.
Everywhere that sells
alcohol has to have a licence
granted by their Local Authority..
Children under the age of 16 are not
allowed in a pub or bar
without adult
supervision.Children age 16-17 are allowed to drink alcohol in a pub in the
company of someone over 18 and only
when having a table meal.
For class A drugs you can receive up to
7 years in prison for
possession and life for
dealing.
For class B drugs you can receive up to
5 years in prison for
dealing and 15 for
possession.
For class C drugs you can receive up to
2 years in prison for
possession and 14 for dealing.
Some drugs are legal but must be sold under
controlled conditions in pharmacies,
supermarkets and shops.
Christian attitudes to illegal drugs…The vast majority of Christians believe
that taking any kind of drug excessively is WRONG because
it damages the body which God
created.
All Christians in the UK believe that
taking illegal drugs is wrong.
Watch the following video carefully…
Make NOTES on your sheet in the 5 areas to DESCRIBE why Christians are AGAINST the use
of illegal drugs.
Listen out for what is said about alcohol BUT DON’T note this down just yet!
The BIBLE The BODY
CRIME FAMILY
BEHAVIOUR MY OPINION…
The Bible teaches that Christians should obey
the law of the land, which includes the law
on drugs.
Many drug users turn to crime to fund their
habit, this leads to sin and goes against the
teaching of Christianity.
Illegal drugs have a powerful effect on
people’s behaviour and can make them behave
badly or act in ways Christians should not.
Our body is a gift from God and we should not
abuse or misuse it – drugs harm the body
and that which God has created.
Drug abuse can break down marriages and
family relationships and can make people anti-
social.
Which of these reasons (if any) do you agree with and
why?
Grade CAll will be
able to describe Christian
attitudes to illegal drugs.
Did you achieveYOUR goals?…
OUTCOMES…
Unlike illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco are not
‘forbidden’ in Christianity. SOME Christians therefore
choose to drink and/or smoke.
MOST Christians would choose NOT to smoke as even a small amount is
harmful to the body.
HOWEVER there are more mixed opinions
when it comes to alcohol.
Before we look at Christian teachings relating to the
consumption of alcohol lets have a look at some
arguments in general.
Watch the following clip and try to give 2 arguments FOR the consumption of alcohol and 2 arguments AGAINST. Look out for the odd religious
argument!
http://www.truetube.co.uk/body-and-health/addiction/cause--effect
Jesus used it at the LAST SUPPER
It can be used for medicinal purposes.
In the past it was used as an anti-depressant.
It gives people confidence.
It inspires people to be creative.
It makes people do things they wouldn’t
usually do.
It leads to promiscuity and unwanted pregnancies.
It is a depressant. It makes people do things they wouldn’t
usually do. It causes relationship
problems It can cause crime. It causes people to behave in an immoral
way. People can become addicted – alcoholism.
Christian attitudes to alcohol…
So what does
CHRISTIANITY teach about
the consumption of alcohol?
MANY Christians DO choose to
drink alcohol in SMALL AMOUNTS
because...
Watch the following picture clues to EXPLAIN WHY.
Reasons for drinking alcohol in
moderation...…
During the LAST SUPPER, Jesus gave his disciples wine
during the first HOLY COMMUNION or
EUCHARIST.
Jesus himself drank wine and even preformed a miracle at a wedding turning water into
wine.
The Bible does not forbid the drinking of alcohol.
Most Christian churches, such as
Roman Catholics and Church of England, do not forbid the drinking
of alcohol and use wine during holy
communion.
Christian attitudes to alcohol…None of the Christian
teachings suggest that drinking alcohol is SINFUL.
However there are many teachings that warn against
drinking too much because…‘Getting drunk on wine
leads to bad behaviour’ (Ephesians 5:18)
What is the meaning of this quote?
What does it mean by BAD BEHAVIOUR?
So Christians who do drink should do so in MODERATION.
Christian attitudes to alcohol…There are SOME
Christians who choose NOT to drink alcohol AT ALL (e.g. The Salvation
Army).
These Christians DO NOT believe drinking alcohol is SINFUL but that it is simple best to
AVOID it.
Use the picture clues to complete your sheet EXPLAINING WHY.
Drinking alcohol can impair a person’s
judgments and reduce their ability to act in a
Christian way.
People drank wine in biblical times because there was little else for them to drink – as there are lots of other types of drink available now there is no need for
alcohol.
Drinking can cause
you to offend
others so it is better to not drink.
In biblical times people drank wine or ale only; today alcohol is
much stronger and therefore more dangerous to a persons
health and society.
Grade BMost will be
able to explain
different Christian
attitudes to alcohol.
Did you achieveYOUR goals?…
OUTCOMES…
Although it is VERY RARE, there are a few Christians
who believe alcohol should be made illegal such as
AMERICAN BAPTISTS. Their view is alcohol is EVIL
and should be banned completely.
Do you think alcohol should be made
illegal?
Do you agree with the Christian view
of drinking in moderation?
Are there any problems with this
idea?

What have you learnt today?
What have you been reminded of today?
Think of a question you would like
answering.
Plenary …
“Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit , who lives in you and was given to you
by God”
“Do not get drunk with wine, which will ruin you,
but instead be filled with the Holy Spirit”
“Do not drink water only but take a little wine to help
your digestion, since you are ill so often”
“Drug abuse is the new slavery”
Pope John Paul II
A little bit of alcohol is ok and can have benefits to your health.
Drugs can take over people’s lives and control them.
Your body is God’s temple so you should not harm it as it would be
disrespectful to God.
Focus yourself on your religion rather than alcohol which can harm
you.
