LordReed:


The cars we drive everyday are causing harm to us and the people around us as they constantly emit gases that are deleterious to our collective health yet I don't see you condemning them as sin.

The point with all this is to establish to you folk that your sin parameters are just an arbitrary concept you make up as you go for the things you want or don't want, stop fooling yourself that a god has anything to do with it. Nobody is gonna condemn you for stating you don't like smoking. I myself don't like smoking, inhaling the smoke literally makes me sick but I will not condemn someone for making his own choice to smoke, that's his business. I will maintain sufficient distance from such a person while they do it and return to close contact after, it's that simple.

It's cus of the health implications that's why religion tagged it sin.. many things religion tag sin was tagged sin cus of health implications.. like alcohol for instance

OB7Foreva:

Average9jaman:

Too much sense will not kii u

LordReed:


So you agree it's people who are just making it up as they go.

highoctane:

Let's consider God's view through his word the bible.
Actually there are no where in his word that says do not smoke cigarettes, tobacco or marijuana. The godly principles will lead one to stop drug addicted habits.
Manufactures of Cigarettes, Stated clearly Surgeon in general stated that smokers are liable to die young. Every humans life comes from God, from him we come to exist Revelation 4:11, life is very expensive, could you imagine, you were given an expensive neck tie, and you decided to polish your shoes with it? Cigarettes has no medicinal value, cigarettes and tobacco smoking are injurious to health, therefore God goes on to say at 1 Corinthians chapter 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."
The word of God made us to know that your body in the temple of God. Let's reason, when last did you smoke inside a church? being a building made by hand work of man.? If you had not once smoked in a church, then your body and a building which one is more precious to God?
Scientific evidence continue to show that smoking kills more people than most wars combined together.
Mostly you will claim you are not a slave to anyone, be aware that smokers are slaves to tobacco and cigarettes.
1: You find out that a smoker will be very hungry, he will opt to smoke than eat.
2: Many smokers can not easily pass bodily waste mostly early in the morning without smoking.
3: Most smokers are cigarettes thieves, you know what I mean, I was there ones.
4: Smokers lacked cognitive reasoning, always irritated.
Basically the reason for one to give up smoking lays on the respect to the giver of life.
Could you imagine Jesus Christ smoking or under the influence of drugs., exhorting people to repent for the kingdom of God is near.
Let it be known that once in history smoking of cigarettes carries death penalty in England.

Itiaba007:
Please I want to be convinced wether smoking is a sin or not. Please back up your opinion with bible verses thanks.

Jones4190:
Smoking is not a sin, the bible says he gives us herbs for our health

Jones4190:

You means God didn't have reason for creating herbs?

Chibuezem:
so these herbs should be smoked like cigarette
Smoking is sin period you know it, we know it
Sin degrades both the flesh and the spiritman.

Kobojunkie:
Where did you get the claim in bold from? I ask because...

1. ...God's curse, not sins, is reason for why why human body is to perish in the end - Genesis 3 vs 16 - 22

2. ...Man was born from his parents a physical being(of clay of this earth) and not of spirit. According to Jesus Christ, it is only when He is saved - John 3 vs 1 - 8 - that he is born of Spirit.

Also, how can that which is of the physical world be said to degrade that which is even of Spirit(eternal) - in what way does this degradation happen?

It is foolishness to claim to be saved by Jesus Christ bit have absolutely no clue or knowledge of His teachings and commandments.

baralatie:

You are just talking nonsense!

Kobojunkie:
I don't smoke at all!
However, I will never allow my personal bias against smoking cause me to sin against the Most High by pretending that He also sees it as sin simply on ground that it is sin to me.

Valuc:

MaxInDHouse:

Certainly!
That's what we meant when we call something "SIN" it's got nothing to do with unbelievers like you. We are talking to ourselves!
For instance, sex between two unmarried adults is not a crime in the human society but in the congregation it's SIN!
So we aren't setting standards for you that's not within our standard only applies to those within! 1Corinthians 5:13

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.
