Bible Question: Where would I find scripture on whether or not it is a sin to smoke? |
Bible Answer: There isn’t an actual verse that says that smoking is a sin as such, but the following could be applied. Romans 14:23 (B) for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 1 Cor. 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Cor. 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. I once heard a fellow say, in order to overlook his inability to quit smoking, “smoking doesn’t send a person to hell”, and someone else quipped, “no but it makes you smell like you’ve already been there!” I used to smoke 40 years ago and I could never seem to kick the habit, no matter how bad I knew it was for me or how hard I tried, I was hooked big time! Shortly after believing in the Lord Jesus as my personal Savior I realized that smoking didn’t fit into my new life style, that I wanted to live for the Lord. I decided to quit smoking cold turkey and every time the urge hit me I would pray to my new found help, the Lord, that the craving would go away and after “many” weeks it did; that is one more thing I that I praise Him for! Ephes. 3:20-21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [21] Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Have a great day, CDBJ |
