1 | is smoking a sin? | 1 Cor 6:12 | brenda_L | 161237 | ||
I stumbled across a site last night that really scared me. http://www.realdeliverance.com/smoking.shtml I've smoked for years...and I'm struggling with quiting now. I know it's wrong but it's so hard to just stop...and after reading what that page had to say I am terrified everytime I 'light up'. |

Hi. I do not think you will find a verse that says smoking is a sin but you will find in the Old Testament that there are laws and ordnances; food laws that help keep your body healthy. It is a sin to be obese and it is a sin to do things to your body that will cause harm to it. You know right from wrong so I hope your not just asking to find a loophole so that you can smoke. Remember always ask God for help; He will never leave you or forsake you. |

Hi Ambass, Your point is taken but I want to make a point regarding a statement you made. You wrote: "It is a sin to be obese" In the context of your post I think that you are feferring to "obese" as it relates specifically to habitual over eating (Gluttony). I just wanted to add that there are people who are obese due to serious medical problems that they may have little or no control over. We wouldn't want to imply that these people are living in sin directly related to their obesity. Thanks, Jeff |

1 Corinthians 10:31 sums it up - "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." There are many verses about doing things that are harmful to our bodies (His temple). I can always go back to this one though - it's how I quit smoking. It wasn't hurting anybody but me - and then I realized - it did not glorify God, it took away from my witness. And bringing up the over eating issue - one wrong won't justify another. If I lie but I see my neighbor steal and I point that out - well, we are back to Matt 7:3 - Why do you see the splinter in your brothers eye but don't see the wooden beam in your own eye." If you have any concern over something you are doing - does it glorify God? Also, is the Holy Spirit trying to speak to you about the issue. I've found when I have asked - if it's wrong, let me know - I almost always feel His clarification quickly. Sometimes I almost hear Him say - "If you have to ask..." On the other hand, if you are asking about something being a sin, because someone else is doing it - remember the beam verse. Pray for them but don't point that finger. |

Hello itsme, Good points you made in your post, but I think you may have been intending to post it to someone else. Or, were you intending your post for me? If so, will you please be more specific as to how your response relates to my post? Thanks, Jeff |

I had the original question up when I responded. I looked at the string, as I always do, afterwards, and saw it attached to yours. So I pulled up the original again, and sent it, and it attached correctly. | ||||||
