Answer the question. SIMPLE.


IS SMOKING A SIN ?

haddeylium:


Firstly, Smoking is a degrading action that harms and defiles a person’s body. Paul reminded the Corinthian that Christians must cleanse themselves of ‘every defilement of the flesh’.

“2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, beloved ones, let us cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God”

It's a common knowledge that smoking is very addicting. It contains nicotine acts as a stimulant as well as a depressant. Smoking delivers nicotine to the brain quickly and repeatedly.


Smoking is lethal and being enslaved to any lethal habit that enslaves someone is not the best way to give your ‘all’ to almighty God.
Smoking kills at a faster rate than coronavirus. Averagely, 6millons people die every year because of this habit.

God teaches us to have a proper view of our life, our body, and our faculties. His Son, Jesus, pointed to this when he said:

“You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.” Matthew 22:37

Clearly, God wants us to make good use of our life and body and to treat them with respect.

How can you explain this

Genesis 1:29-31 - And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Genesis 1:30 - And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.


Genesis 1:11 - And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was s

Sunnybabe:
the way some people reason heeen... Even federal ministry of health warns that smokers are liable to die young, go and check the statistics of people give up the ghost annually due to smoking.

Smokes damage ur body. And according to 1 Corinthians 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?

Also
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Now check this

1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.


So therefore

Romans 12:1 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.


Shalom

In Islam, you are not supposed to do things that harm your body for example eating too much won't be islamic. On that basis, smoking would be a sin so is Shisha (even though it is popular amongst Arabs) because of the harm they cause.

Yes, smoking is a sin. The Bible in Exodus 20 , said thou shall not kill, the Bible didn’t specify whether it’s yourself or another person, so it’s all encompassing; by smoking you are gradually killing yourself which invariably means you have disobeyed the commandment of God

As street and exposed as I am, I no dey smoke.
Smoking is not even something I would ever consider cos I term it (to myself) an unhealthy act. Weed or cigarettes, I do none.

This doesn't make it a sin to me, it's just my choice.

Btw, I have plenty friends who are big time paper burners. I mean, real smokers - both weed and cigarettes, plus shisha.


Thank you, Almighty God.

You need not to worry yourself about the bible principles that condemns smoking if you're not a Christian.
Medically speaking, you and I know that smoking is not for people that want to live long. Of course, you're familiar with the label '
Smokers are liable to die young'.
In that light, JWs cherish life because it's a gift from our God. We would not willingly do anything that would shorten or end our life.
Just think about six million people that die needlessly annually from diseases that could have been prevented by simply not smoking..
na person write an not any of the apostles. All is down to immune system. Some smokes for 70yrs only death took them away from it while some takes a drag and goes nuts. Anything done moderate is ok for the gospel but the ones done recklessly is a sin

Please I want to ask you. Have you seen the place that the scripture said what defiles a man is not what goes inside his body but what comes out. I asked this because of the first scripture you quoted that talked about defilement

You say smoking is herbal ?
What does smoking cure in the body?
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by Fesline(m): 1:12pm On Oct 10, 2021
Smoking kills not rapidly but gradually....

You cannot kill yourself as you cannot make even a tiny hair in your body....as the Bible said

Do you know if you kill yourself you have commit a sin?

Why?

Because you can't make your body.

See brothers and sisters,
Your body is to be subjected under the power of God, present your body as a living sacrifice, Holy and acceptable to God.

Romans 12:1 said "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.

12:2 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."

Present your body as a living sacrifice because it is your reasonable service..... That's you serve the father with your body.

Smoking, fornication, stealing to satisfy one's need and wants, etc are for workers of devil, those who live for the world, that the love of the father is not in them..... Children of God work in love and the love of the father dwell in their heart that they cannot sin or defile themselves anymore because their seed remain in them.

Christians are to look on to be like Christ, does Jesus smoke during his days? God forbid.

If you're his follower then, you have to leave behind those things that can take the place of God in your heart and life. Thanks
