I recently quit smoking. The reason I did was because I felt convicted by God that I was not presenting a good witness for my unsaved friends. I know that some people believe smoking is a sin. I would not hold to that... I'm curious what you guys on this board would think...?
Ah, Smoking is a personal choice in my opinion
personally I think it's a nasty habit, but everyone in my family does it
But it's good to hear your quitting, and I agree with your belief that smoking is not a sin, it's like saying drinking coffee is a sin, it's just a habit, which happens to be bad for your health
You can do it![]()
Smoking is extremely dangerous to your health, and we are to protect and keep our bodies healthy according to the Word of God, when God created Man, he didnt make us to inhale smoke into our lungs but regular air...so if you choose to do that you will live with the consequences and you will not reach your full potential for the Lord. We are to worship God with our whole life, not just our thoughts or actions but with our bodies too, since we are the temple of the HS...
uhm, And he also gave us free will, so too bad
if he didn't want us doing it, wouldn't have allowed us to invent it
i'm not supporting smoking but still, just cause you smoke, it doesn't make you any less worthy in his eyes
uhm, And he also gave us free will, so too bad
if he didn't want us doing it, wouldn't have allowed us to invent it
i'm not supporting smoking but still, just cause you smoke, it doesn't make you any less worthy in his eyes
We're also not supposed to kill, yet He let guns & explosives be invented.
We're not supposed to steal, yet He let lock-picks be invented.
We're not supposed to commit adultery, yet sex and pornography is everywhere.
God gave us free will to see if we make the proper choices in life. Just because God forgives you doesn't mean that nothing you do is wrong. Casey is correct in saying that the Bible tells us to take care of our bodies, and you saying "too bad" is definitely not more powerful than the Word of God.
Taking your approach is like saying that no sin is wrong since we are forgiven for them; this is certainly not the message Jesus was trying to get across. Sins are wrong, and just because we are forgiven does not mean there are not consequences for them.
yeah, but as long as you try, WHICH she is trying to quit,
you will be forgiven, cause no one is perfect
cause I'd love to see all of you live your life NOT doing ONE single
thing that God said you shouldn't, if you do, do feel free to gloat
and rub it in, but you won't so once again too bad
why do we always focus on the sin, and not the truth behind it.
who are we to judge?
gentlemen.
love, mom
she raises a good point
it's for us to decide what's right or wrong
and not to judge people on what they have decided
cause in the end, we're all going to be judged by God
and his opinion is the only one that matters, so do live a good life
if i may add,
we're supposed to help people,
not make them be scared to be helped or talk to people about things they struggle with.
NONE of us has a God complex.
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Proverbs 10:12
*Sigh* It's wonderful when people don't pay attention to what you're trying to say.
The only thing I was saying is that the Bible does label smoking as a sin. Not once did I say she wouldn't be forgiven. Not once did I say God wouldn't let her into Heaven. Why? Because I can't pretend to know this. I can however, say that smoking does go against God's will, because the Bible tells us to take care of our bodies.
Colin also said that "if its wrong we wouldn't be able to do it", which I strongly disagree with. I think it's very hypocritical that you should be able to share your views yet I can't share mine.
She wanted to know what we think on smoking from a religious point of view. I gave her my view.
That's like saying "What do you think of my art? By the way, if you don't like it don't tell me, I only want to hear from those who do like it."
I never said it it was wrong we wouldn't be able to do it
I just checked.
And the bible, never, EVER directly indicates smoking
Cause smoking wasn't around back then, not like it is today
I never said it it was wrong we wouldn't be able to do it
I just checked.
And the bible, never, EVER directly indicates smoking

Actually Colin, yes you did.![]()
"if he didn't want us doing it, wouldn't have allowed us to invent it"
Also, the bible says "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body"
Last I checked, smoking is very bad for your health.![]()
=p when it came out, it wasn't bad, last time I checked, lots of things were bad that you eat, And you still eat them? what does that mean?
