Bible Question:
Is drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes considered a sin ? Well if i have to ask, it probably is. Neither of these exsisted when the bible was written, correct ? I cant stop! |
Bible Answer: My understanding of cor 3:17 leads me to believe that this verse has nothing to do with smoking; coffee; glutoney; or any personal habit, pleasure or weakness. When taken in context (which we all should strive to remember to do) we realize that Paul is referring to the Church and not to the individual. John |
