Subject: A believer who smokes? |
Bible Note: Dadda, just to set the record straight: The following statement is quoted from your post 124718 __"As Hank pointed out, the first person to tell you that smoking is bad is the person who has to put down the fried chicken they are eating to tell you."__ ...... No, Hank didn't point that out; he said no such thing, Dadda. I don't mind being quoted, but I do mind being misquoted. ..... By the way, you have been given sound advice on this thread. From the general tone of your response, it doesn't appear that you're yet prepared to act on it. Perhaps you hoped we would say, "It's o.k. to indulge your habit. It won't shorten your life. God has already decided how long you'll live anyway, etc. etc., so go ahead and puff away to your heart's content." ...... Perhaps it wouldn't hurt a thing to look up the word 'rationalize' in a good dictionary, Dadda, and refresh your mind on its meaning. --Hank |
