We should be like Paul, when he said, "All things are lawful, but not all things are expedient".
There are certain things that may not necessarily send me to hell, but they surely are not conducive to living an overcoming life!
No, we don't have to have chapter and verse to preach against things, just common sense is all that's needed in most cases.
However, we must certainly DO need chapter and verse if we're going to pronounce eternal damnation on someone's soul for engaging in that activity!

You're alright, Mr. Phelps.
