“Sometimes people quibble about the meaning of scripture and rationalize and justify themselves in doing things they well know they shouldn’t do. They sometimes say, for example, that ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’ doesn’t include all the other kinds and degrees of immoral sins and perversions, or that the Word of Wisdom … doesn’t catalogue all the substances and brand names and all the products and dope and harmful things that have been discovered or concocted that are not good for men … .
“The Lord expects us to use wisdom and common sense and not quibble about what obviously isn’t good for the body or mind or spirit or morals of man” (Evans, “Should the Commandments Be Rewritten?” 57).
