Bible Question: I'm a smoker. I know I am born of God and will not lose my salvation,but I would like someones input on this issue based on scripture. |
Bible Answer: russb; I can't recall a specific verse that explicitly speaks against smoking, but I can relate to you what the Lord spoke to me back when I was a new believer and still smoked. He spoke from Scripture to my heart the following words: 1 Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Then the Lord said to my heart: "If your body is my temple, and the temple is to be kept clean, why do you desire to pollute it with something harmful and which is known to cause cancer. It was shortly after that I gave up smoking with God's help cold turkey. PTL |
