Is a sin to sell condoms and viagra because they are instrument of sin so dont sell them dont worry you will make money from other medicines God bless you

You can definately sell, but avoid selling to under age.

Seun:
You should also sell vibrators to women because masturbation is better than fornication. Masturbation is never condemned in the Bible.

This is Mockery

Palk:
Buying and selling is your profession. There is nothing bad in your you selling condom. It is the society we found ourselves that have a bad perception about it and misuse it. Condom is a form of family planning. Just be mindful of whoever you sell it to in oder not to encourage immorality.

In other words, always observe finger to see if there is marriage ring.

How do u know one is under age? By face?

wyt:
@ post, immagine how nigeria would hav being if Buhari dad used condom?

You are very wiiiket [center][/center]

Sex is natural and those items help with it. Selling them does not mean giving support or promoting sin. People practised withdrawal method among others before condom for contraception and we have roots native to our land that our forefathers used for virility before coming of Viagra and other aphrodisiacs. To me, it is nothing.

I think those who want to buy should fill a form...so that ud know those who are married, and does who want to commit fornication *lol

Sin should not be encouraged because its end is total destruction if Mercy of GOD does not prevail

Where's the sin in using condom and viagra with my wife? The kind of assumptions people make... smh
And i wonder whether you prefer they get pregnant and acquire stds if a condom is unavailable...

Says who?

Hhhhhhhmmmmmm

By extension, is it right to sell antibiotics that are used to treat STDs?

Is It Good For A Christian To Deal With Condoms In His Shop

Please I need advice from born again Christians. I opened a patent medicine store for about 2 weeks now, but there is some issue here I want people to address... Is it good as a Christian to be selling condoms, Viagra or do think its a way of encouraging immorality.

bro I'm married n there's no time I don't hv condom in my house. Reason- wit 2 kids we don't plan to add, atleast 4 now. So I use it when my wife is fertile n we must play. I've never bought viagra but whether u sell or not ppl will still buy n d company will still produce it. Moreover christianity isn't abt dos n don'ts but life filled n guided by d Holy Spirit.

obstead200:

As a Christian, I hope u know u are breaking the law by operating a medicine store when u are not a pharmacist or at least appropriately certified.
So, are u a pharmacist? Do u have a valid licence to operate a medicine store?
Una wey dey claim born again sabi select the sin to commit and the one not to commit.

You are ignorant of what patent medicine mean..
it is diff. from pharmacy store and even uneducated person can be licensed to do it

Op, something in me makes me feel you are not a Nurse in the real sense of being a nurse.... there are different kinds of "nurses" we have in Nigeria today,.... those who passed through a Nursing/Midwifery school to get the RN/RM certificate, those who passed through the University/Teaching hospital to get the B.Sc in Nursing Science and those who were trained as Auxillary nurses in one private hospital or the other.

Op something tells me you belong to the last category (I may be wrong though), otherwise, as A Qualified Christian Nurse, you should know that Condom is a form of barrier contraceptive and also has some other non-contraceptive benefits, and Viagra is used in ED (that is, if you get what I mean).

Lastly, what are you licensed to practice? Patent medicine,?? Pharmacy?? or Nursing? Take the advice that caeser and others who know better gave you to avoid stories that touch...

Hahaha...I am a qualified nurse and gainfully employed.. I have worked in family planning sessions severally and have given different types to women but understand my question...
does selling of it as a christian dealer good as it encourages immortality?

Please give break, all this moral and holier than thou stuff get to stop in our country. First what was the purpose of which condoms was invented, there is nothing immoral about selling condoms its just to stop the spread of STD diseases. But as for viagra are you pharmacist or do you employed a pharmacist on your store. If your answer is no you have no right to sale viagra.

Kindly relate to those who ain't married...What about those ones?

Its never an assumption... What is wrong has no other name than wrong. Mostly, when people buy such items, its use is mainly for lustful and sinful purposes. Look around you and see what the youths of this generation have mostly become.

Lastly, sex outside marriage should never be encouraged... If they do not want Stds, its better to abstain from premarital sex.

Thanks and stop shaking your head oooo.

Sorry, i don't share your sentiments, kind of sounds restrictive to condemn everything with the sweep of a hand, even fire has good and bad uses so question your logic again. What you should advocate for are age limits and licenses just like for alcohol and certain restricted items... you can not sideline people that need help, viagra is God sent and useful to men with erectile dysfunction, condoms were originally made for barrier contraception.
And again, sex outside marriage or before is the personal decision of consenting adults, you wont be there on judgement day to answer for them and neither will they be in yours, whether they are shagging or not shouldnt get you excited... condoms and viagra were made with good intentions to help people, think positively

Thank You. I understand your point..You do not agree with me. That's no problem... I have only shared my view based on the standards through which morally sane minds should abide as regards a believer especially the unmarried/youths. Many of them purchase these items the most.

I think you need to read the question the op asked again. The good intentions you claimed these items were made for are not visible in out world presently... The negatives are in the extreme... Like I said earlier, I get your point clearly but I strongly believe according to the question asked by the Op... I stand on my words that such items should not be considered for sale in order to avoid a reprehensible occurrence pertaining to ones conscience or belief..

Thanks once again.

Really? Thats the advice you chose to take? That condoms which are used for family planning are "instruments of sin"?

With all sincerity whatever means you can adopt to determine an under age is your choice, and its the best. But not only by face nor by ring because some couples do not value the use ring, manythings in life is by choice.

Hypocrisy!! Tramadol is also abused by youths then don't sell it, cough syrup(codeine) is also abused by the youth then don't sell it, most of you are hypocritical.... So a Christian should not sell rat poison because it can be used to poison human being? Do you also know that olive oil can be used as a lubricant for Masturbation?so a Christian should not sell olive oil because of this? Or a Christian should not sell cucumber because girls use it to play? I'm tired of all of these people claiming holier than thou abeg nobody holy pass... Oga op oya if u don't sell condom and maybe u sell vitamin c, if you sell 50 naira vitamin c for 100 naira are you not worse than the person selling condom? Please you guys should know that religion is objective not a way of life
NOTE:I AM A CHRISTIAN

as for the bolded
.... I agree condoms have been abused but it doesn't mean it should be stopped question ur logic this way do you know what young girls use cucumber for nowadays? It's extreme! With your logic a Christian farmer shouldn't plant cucumber..... Ur points are biased with religious fanatism with all due respect sir!

If you claim to have worked in family planning clinics, then how do you counsel your clients vis-a-vis condom use as a form of contraceptive? or you tell them not to use condom because, according to you, it is an instrument of sin...

What about your retroviral disease clients, how do you counsel them on safer s3x??

To be honest with you, I don't expect you to ask this type of question in this forum... such question is what is expected from CHEWS(With due RESPECT to any CHEW here, this is neither meant to ridicule you nor your profession...respect).

I'm aware that some Christian denominations like Catholics do not encourage family planning, except Billing 's method, and they have their reasons and I respect that, therefore, if you are a Catholic, then tell your clients that are not Catholics that condom is also used as a form of family planning, and allow them to make their choice.

Op I think you should practise what you are licensed to do. Like someone said above, you are NOT permitted by law to operate a pharmacy shop, if you do that, then you are impersonating, and impersonation is a crime punishable under the law and as a Christian, it is a SIN.

If you operate a patent medicine shop, you are only permitted to sell over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and not drugs like viagra.

on a lighter note, allow others to blow your trumpet.

Cheers!!

From the majority of posts I've read so far, it seems most of the so-called christians posting here are either ignorant or protestants.
The Catholic Church condemns the use of artificial contraceptives. Couples are advised to use Natural Family Planning methods. So as a christian, selling condoms is a mortal sin.
Read these articles for a thorough explanation on why.

Family planning is free in govt hospitals and that's where married couples go and get them

I'm more concerned that as a Christian, you're selling prescription medicines like Viagra in a patent medicine shop.
You're only allowed to sell over the counter drugs please. As a nurse, you're not allowed to write prescriptions except you're a nurse practitioner and even at that, the kind of medicine you're allowed to prescribe is limited
When will the PSN pharmaceutical society of Nigeria rise to one of their major responsibilities in the country? This issue of anybody buying medicines without prescriptions needs to be addressed.
