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'. |

2 | is smoking a sin? | 1 Cor 6:12 | BradK | 161245 | ||
Hi Brenda, First of all, I'm a non-smoker. I briefly looked at the site and it makes its' point. With your question, I thought of James 4:17. Though there is no direct scriptural prohibition against smoking, 1 Cor. 6:19 makes a good case. Even with that said, I wouldn't call smoking one of the "Filthy 5", or "Nasty Nine". Without making light of anything, you are under grace. God's not going to send you to hell for it, and I don't think it would seriously hamper your testimony?! Think of this: If we all had glass heads, and everyone could view our thought lives, we'd ALL be in serious trouble! "The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" (Rom. 5:20) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
