Hello mesba, I would have to say that Jesus answered that question head on with the following verse. Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. The apostle Paul elaborated on some thing that would fit your question as well. 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. It would seem that anything that brings us under its power, or shall we say things that can become addicting to us are wrong. Then there are the things that don’t edify. The English word edify is translated from the Koine Greek word, OIKODOMEO, which means to build up. Anything that is going to tear the body down instead of building it up isn’t good for us even though it isn’t considered unlawful for us. I knew a fellow that smoked some of the slinkiest things I have ever smiled. I use to get on him big time about it, seeing that he was a witness for Christ. He would tell me that smoking won’t send a person to hell; and I use to tell him that he smiled like he had already been there! Once a person believes on the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior God the Holy Spirit will change ones life around and start a process that will conform the individual to be like Christ, if they person is willing to be changed. Here is the formula and how it takes place. Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The renewing of the mind takes place as we study God’s Word, the Bible, on a daily basis and assimilate Bible doctrine into our souls. I guess my next question to you would be, has God reveled to you yet the good news that you can know that you have eternal life right here and now? Have a great day, CDBJ |
