By American Protestant Christian doctrine, would the development and use of youth drugs be good or bad?
If medical drugs or treatments could rejuvenate you, give you more than the Bible’s "three score and ten" years of life, what would Christian views on the procedures be?
Would a healthy, active lifespan of up to, say 150 years, be a sin, putting off the time when you "meet Jesus"? An abomination? Would the doctors who performed any such procedure be considered to be "tampering with the works of God"?
Or would it be considered just an extension of medicine, like a hernia operation or blood pressure pills?
I cant believe no real answers. This stinks.

I have asked a similar question re: organ transplants…and been met with a deafening silence from the Fundies.
Which I take to mean they’d jump at it…even though it is pioneered and carried out by evil science types who believe in evolution.lol
But the few believers who responded actually had the gall to say that they saw no link between medical science and the "bad scientists"…and that God had given doctors the power to save lives…I guess he’s busy these days starting culture wars and needed to outsource the miracles!!
roflmfao!!

Medicines should only be used as prescribed.
Prayers in the name of Jesus can mean no medications are required.
The Book of Acts of the Apostles showed how Greeks departed from drug use and other occult books.
A strong faith in Jesus Christ allows for prayer and hands on infilling of the holy spirit to touch and rejuviunate the body as being adequate.

Real Christians "meet" Jesus NOW as in eternity – have you not paid attention…..living in this body is really boring and irritating…why would anyone want to live so long?
