Marijuana is an illicit drug, so the church cannot encourage something that is unlawful. Cigarette is harmful to your health, so the church discourages it's use. learn white board animation and video editing contact me on the number below this comment 1 Like |

kingphilip:. In otherwords you prefer them cooked or soaked in drink! My dear i prefer being silent in a topic that is beyond my comprehension than to confuse even myself in answering them. When all things were created by Almighty, He did not tell us in what form to consume them. All we have to ensure is not to abuse them beause too much of everything is bad, even the food we eat. Christ said that it is not that which we eat throught the mouth that defiles man but that which comes out of man. 1 Like |

essenjack: You came here looking for an answer. You don't like it. Must everything scriptural soothe you before you believe it? Once you don't like what it says, or the interpretation, you will reject it and call it persecution, condemnation and stigmatization. The Bible telling people that there's a lake of fire is something to argue as persecution and condemnation, stigmatization of sins, because some people don't like the idea that there's a devil and hellfire? Till date their are many angry atheists who didn't like to hear that part, but what will it change? If you want to feel good about everything you do, throw away your Bible and become your own god. If smoking is so good, why are you destroying the clean air God gave other people to use? Why are you putting an embargo on the air other people will breathe, forcing them to smoke with you when they don't need the medicine? Why don't you smoke around babies? Why don't pregnant women smoke? If you are sincere, you will buy medical extracts of marijuana and stop arguing this. |

Interestingly, “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good...” Genesis 1:31 So everything God created is good. The question is what comes with its use? For some people, sugar, salt and even pepper as basic as seems, are poisonous and it threatens their life’s quality and thus, existence. Psychotropic substances aren’t bad, considering some have medical properties which helps improve lives. The issue is, what does it come with? What comes next? Because as with anything, even healthy substances, there’s always a price to be paid. I’m pretty certain psychosis and or organ damage will be a concern for most, not to mention the “gateway effect” of these seemingly harmless creations. |

Atlas9:You are not making sense is this. What is sin? It is disobedience registered against God's own commandments, not some arbitrary Mark somewhere. And the moment you intend in your heart to disobey God, you have already committed sin against God. So, from that we know what God says is sin and it is by not doing that that we know that we are of God. This is not some complicated formula, and it is Truth that is not hidden. As for masturbation, it is not listed as sin by Jesus Christ. Instead, what Jesus Christ says is that the Lust in one's heart is instead sin. So it is the moment you lust in your heart that you have sinned. Any actions you engage in afterwards comes after the sin has already been recorded against you. The problem I see with this generation, just like the many generations before them is that everyone continues to choose ignorance even when information is placed right before them. Jesus Christ said that it is when you know the Truth of God, His very teachings and commandments, and obey this truth, that you can indeed be made free from the clutches of sin, even the mental hold it has on you, from sin, not before. The bible does not say anything... the bible is a book that contains the Word of God, words and opinions of men, words of Satan and also of demons, so you need to know for sure who it is that says what. Paul told you your body is the temple of God and science tells you that smoking is bad for your health but Jesus Christ, the Word of God Himself tells you that it is not what you eat/ingest that makes you unclean/sinful but instead what you have in your heart that makes you unclean/sinful. It is then your place to decide whose report you will believe in. 1 Like |

BRATISLAVA:No you do not! What you have is still an opinion and not sin. It is only by knowing the teachings of Jesus Christ that one can in fact know what is sin and what is not sin. |

essenjack:. Jesus said that it is not that which entered through the mouth that defiles a man but that which comes out from man. So smoking hemb is not a sin but the purpose of smoking it may be the sin. 1 Like |

BRATISLAVA:Jesus Christ was accused of being a glutton and a drunk... yet He didn't stop to labeling them sins . Sin is disobedience of God's given commandments as it is carried out in defiance of God's own Law. And since God gave no rules regarding how much one can eat in a sitting, it means gluttony is not a sin at all against God. Sin does not have to do with the harming of the human body..that body of yours is not held in such high esteem by God as many like to pretend. So, sin is not defined as that which harm your bodies but instead that which stands contrary to the Law of God. |

In this part of the world , the way we reason out issues is with the level of our understanding . Either you smoke or not , God has His way of dealing with every of His creation. I will have mercy for whom I will have mercy. Thou shall not judge, so that you will not be judge. 1 Like |

Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkiee: 3:25pm On Apr 25, 2021 |
PopeP:Jesus Christ said that if you believe in Him, you will drink poison and it will not harm you. Jesus Christ also told you that it is not what you eat/ingest that makes you unclean/sinful in the eyes of God, but instead what comes out of your heart. I understand that a lot of you seem to attach sin and its definition to your bodies, the same bodies that Jesus Christ Himself commands that you be willing to maim(pluck out your eyes/cut off your limbs if it causes you to sin etc.) In order to avoid sin and hell. But the Truth of God is that sin is not about your body but instead has to do with disobedience of God's stated commandments. 1 Like |

BRATISLAVA:No need to replace coke.. coke is a very unhealthy drink. It's in the nature of most humans to find fault with other and underplay our own shortcomings. Coke is filled wit unhealthy sugars and it's a highly processed food. On the other hand, marijuana is a very healthy plant with incredible healing properties. https://www.healtheuropa.[url]eu/health-benefits-of-cannabis/92499/[/url] |
