2 | Is smoking a sin? | 2 Pet 2:19 | David F | 56172 | ||
I don't think it's exactly a sin but look up these scriptures and ask God to give you strength. He gives us a free will, God's word says we can either add to our days or we can take away from our days, I don't remember the address to that scripture but it couples together well with this one--1 Corinthians 6:19-20 | ||||||
3 | Is smoking a sin? | 2 Pet 2:19 | charley | 93230 | ||
I thought that this passage was exactly that. That our body is a temple and to be taken care of. And if not, sin. That includes eating habits etc. I think if one would read from I Cor 6:13-20 would give a better perspective I believe. Also, the passage, 1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is interested in our physical body, as well as our mental soul, and our spirit. And asks us to keep them blameless. From a scientifical stand point one can point to smoking and eating as habits that are done when we are nervous, discouraged, depressed, and down and out. That is not trusting the Lord but our vice. And that is diffidently sin if that is one's motive. I Cor.10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth (good). And smoking I do not believe is healthy. I wonder how many we are encouraging to do the same by our actions and thereby ruining their good health. I personally see it as a defiling of the temple. Which Jesus spoke of that he would raise in three days. I Cr 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. I would recommend reading verse 17 also. I leave you with the Holy Spirit to convict you weather this be sin or not. I am convicted it is sin charley |
