The bible was making a reference to fornication.

So if it was just a reference, is fornication a sin?


All in all I try not to think what is a sin or what is not. Its more like what make HIM happy with me and me happy with HIM.

Christianity to me is like a relationship between lovers. If i feel, think or know that something would hurt HIM then there's no need to go ahead with it. Simple.

Smoking does not add to my life in any way shape or form. I have smoked various things and nothing was profitting.

Am not going to look down on anyone because they smoke. Thats hypocrisy. we all have skeletons.

@Naja Haje

i didnt define anyone by smoking habits.

A proper christian is one who seeks redemption
and lives in grace.
Not I who liveth, but Christ in me.

Your body is the temple of God
and you should seek to keep it undefiled.

The wages of sin is death
The wages of smoking is death

Smoking==Sin

this is what you said

Gamine:
Not possible

A correct christian guy will not be a smoker
A guy will only change if he wants to

No one is looking down on anybody

All have sinned

Smoking is what it is.

Marry the smoker

When you guys die young
with the children in tow.

i wonder how that wld look like.

in this case Love is not only Wicked
it is blind

A Correct Christian guy will not smoke. simple
because he understands where he is coming from
and where he is going.

if you see that as a definition.ok

Change can only come from within.

Smoking is not a sin.

Need i remind you that the bible never directly mentions smoking but there are principles, however, that definitely apply to smoking. First, the Bible commands us to not allow our bodies to become "mastered" by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12:::: "Everything is permissible for me" - but not everything is beneficial """"""Everything is permissible for me" - but I will not be mastered by anything""". . . . . . which leads me to believe that smoking is most def. a sin! but westerners and many others do believe that smoking would calm their nerves, so its not a sin, i dont blame them, thats what they believe

I can't date a smoker, Never!!!!!

The smell of smoke makes me sick,

The bible was making a reference to fornication

not only fornication. . .the reference also applies to anything u do that will not glorify the temple of God

Smoking is dangerous to health reasons why the the tobacco manufacturer will not spare a dime to let that sink into our skulls. Then, if that is the case, why will a sane guy want to kill himself by smoking?

Smoking is tantamount to suicide. This authomatically makes a smoker a sinner cos he who takes his/her life knowingly has committed murder

@Topic
if i cant marry a gurl who smokes, then why should a gurl marry me if i smoke?
anything bad is bad. . .smoking is bad,

Your point is right but I have to point out that it was a big example of fallacy.
Check this out

The wages of sin is death
the wages of eating unhealthy food is death

unhealthy food=sin

u see. . .

Amongst all, why would i choose a smoker. Cause whether u like it or not u choose whom to fall in love with.

I hate smoke, i just hate the smell, i cld slap the cigar right into ur mouth. But here i am sharing an office with a white boss that chain smokes & puffs endlessly, rather pathetic, cos i'm actually the one smoking.

@Eldee

Yes now

Eating unhealthy is a Sin o

my debate was that it was not stated any where in the bible that smoking is a sin. Having said that; smoking is not beneficial to the body rather it deteriorates the perfect work of the Creator (GOD).

I am not going to go around saying smoking is a sin. But rather if something does not benefit you then why do it? Hence why I like this quote;

tkb417:

Smoking is tantamount to suicide.

You all need to understand that people have been smoking since time immemorial. It has simply evolved into refined little sticks. _{why didn't it make into the bible?}

@tkb417

u never replied ma mail. 

@Gamine
abeg ooh, don't let any angel hear that one ooh
then all nigerians will have v.i.p pass to hell

check this out i learnt the perfct example of a fallacy in uni 100level

Love is blind
God is love

Therefore God is blind

now justify that

LOL

Your first sentence Love is Blind is Fallacious
Love is not blind!
Understand that!

@Gamine
Everyone knows that true love is blind, that's the love that humans find hard to understand
like the kind of love a woman has for her disabled son
the kind of one that every bother has for his sister

It was even proven in the Bible, Jesus knew many people in this world would despise him
yet he still shed his blood for them

why am i even going religious, my psychology lecturer proved it, check out that website

The researchers found that both romantic love and maternal love produce the same effect on the brain.

They suppress neural activity associated with critical social assessment of other people and negative emotions.

Interesting analogy. what if we say,

The wages of chocolate is not only big behind and diabetes but death?

Therefore, eating chocolates==sinful!!!

May be you are yet to hear that smoking actually lowers the blood pressure? Isn't that an advantage for some people?

Whether love conquers or it doesn't, smokers are immediate turn offs for me. I hate the stench that emanates from their presence.

Barack Obama the first black democratic presidential candidate was a smoker whose wife made him promise to give up smoking if he wanted her to support for the presidential ticket.

Love the man, his faults and flaws and he will give up anything for you,

Smoking reduces Blood pressure

Now if that isnt a testimony!
i dont know what is!


Why do u need low blood pressure if your pressure is normal?

Arent there things to reduce it even if its high?

Do doctors recommend smoking to reduce BP?

i just dey wonder o
