Kobojunkiee: That is why I'm asking you about gluttony that is not a commandment, since you only take commandments. It is a sin to willfully harm ones body and that of others. Did God tell you to harm yourself or not? Do you need the 11th commandment? |

BRATISLAVA:Gluttony is not a sin. Sin has nothing to do with causing harm to your body. By the way, Jesus Christ gave you, not 10, but 50-something commandments that define sin of which glutton is not listed as one of them. |

The Real Question is, Should Anyone Smoke ? It doesn't matter whether you are Christian, Muslim, Atheist or any Other Religion. The question Can Apply to Anyone. |

Tcwork: Even LSD has incredible health properties. Yet it alters the mind, like MJ. Christians are to take better care of their bodies than other people will, if they are sincere with biblical truths. It's not about deciding what is sin or not, but these things are harmful and alter their minds. If they are sincere about the health benefits, they will find a tablet of marijuana and take it, not smoking it and constituting a nuisance. Why must smokers alter the air for others who don't want to partake in smoking? Why harm others willfully? If it is their choice, then why impose it on others? That is a good pointer to why smoking anything is wrong. The Bible must not spell out everything before people know it's wrong. What were people created with brains for? |

BRATISLAVA:Christians are to take better care of their bodies? Where did Jesus Christ, the Head CHRISTian tell you these things? It is obvious you have a personal grudge of sorts against smokers and that is fine but to elevate it to sin levels... you go too far there. 1 Like |

PopeP: Reference the Bible please. The Bible has given every plant and animal to man. So we can use for different purposes . Food, shelter, medicinal, leisure e.t.c |

Kobojunkiee:I disagree with you, but refuse to keep up the argument. Harming yourself is sinful; likewise others. Read the Torah, Genesis to book 5. |

Kobojunkiee: Where is the grudge with people destroying air for others? If you want to destroy your lungs with second hand smoke, nobody will stop you. All vices are sins. And his conscience is judging him for him to ask it here. Yes, Christians are to take better care of their bodies. Jesus was not a slob or man of antisocial vices. We keep holding onto vices under various guises. |

PopeP: Red meat is harmful Poultry skin is harmful Coffee is addictive Everything has a side effect when abused, and smoking falls in that class. Did the Bible put CO2 into consideration when early Christians were burning incense? Do you know the medical breakthrough of marijuana? |

Taiwojon: I did not comment and only quoted the Bible so you are attacking God`s word 1 Timothy 4:4-6 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. |

BRATISLAVA:Where in the torah are you told that gluttony is a sin? Out of the 613 commandments, which one of them states that gluttony is sin? Have you even read Deuteronomy 30 where God, through Moses, ratified the Old Covenant Law restating there that is it is an agreement between God and those of the blood of Jacob? Are you of the blood of Jacob? |

BRATISLAVA:It's one thing to be healthy, we can always discuss what is healthy or not but we are talking of God's commands. As Christians, we a taught no to add or subtract from the word of God. So it's better to say "I don't know" than to add to the word of God. Talking about harming others, do you know that every time you drive your car, you harm others? The fumes of your car are very dangerous. Every time you pay for a cab again you harm others. You are polluting the earth. About 9 million people die each year from air pollution. Then I guess you have a generator. That too is a killer. The fumes and the sound are very bad for the health |

BRATISLAVA:All vices are sins? Where do you get this from? His conscience is judging him? But it is not humans but God that defines and judges sins? Christians are to take care of their bodies? Is that to mean that a sickly looking man who can barely take care of His body is, by consequence, an unrighteous sinner before God? 1 Like |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by BRATISLAVA: 4:06pm On Apr 25, 2021 |
Kobojunkiee: What is a vice? If you are waiting for the Bible to spell out everything for you, how to have sex, what to do if your tooth is shaky, if smoking is right or not, you're going to wait a long time. A sickly looking man, not an able-bodied man running himself down into that state through his vices that he refuses to stop, because they aren't commandments. These are redundant arguments. |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by BRATISLAVA: 4:14pm On Apr 25, 2021 |
Tcwork: Are you waiting for commands on how to walk in a straight line or fry your bacon right? Too much of I don't know is probably why the world has gone crazy. You know. You were made gods, but because you feel guilty of your own sins, so you refuse to speak up. What constitutes adding to the word of God? There are sins written in the Bible that aren't commandments, if you extrapolate on those is it adding? Did God not through the Bible let us know that we aren't to harm ourselves or others? Did it not let us know that God sees gluttony as an abomination? Wouldn't doing so be contrary to the will of God? Isn't that what constitutes sins? Driving your car doesn't put smoke in your face the way smoking a cigarette purposefully does. Until people began to fight against criminalizing weed, it was never about it's health benefits and legalizing it. It was always about getting high. And I am conscious of my carbon footprint because I care about the environment, as all people should. Solar eliminates noise pollution and fumes. God told us to take care of the Earth, not destroy it. |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkiee: 4:15pm On Apr 25, 2021 |
BRATISLAVA:It's not the Bible but God that spells out what sin is and only He can do that, not you or any man. So where God has not declared a thing sin, it is not your place to declare it so. So your vices have nothing to do with sin unless God Himself specified it so. Sin is disobedience registered against God's Law to you... it is not left up to man to define that which is against God. God have specific rules where sin is concerned. 1 Like |

Kobojunkiee: Okay, wait for a loud voice from the Spirit realm to tell you what you already know. |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkiee: 4:21pm On Apr 25, 2021 |
BRATISLAVA:Why does one need to wait for a voice from what you call a spirit realm where sin is concerned when you can easily read and learn for yourself from the teachings of Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, exactly what constitutes sin and what does not? |

Kobojunkiee: My dear confusionist, carry on! I wish you well. We don't come here to argue or convince anyone. We commend ourselves to every man's conscience (2 Corinthians 4:2), and we have renounced secret and shameful ways. If masturbation doesn't fall into the category of secret and shameful ways, you tell me. Unclean things, shameful things, unhealthy things, my dear, stay away from them. The bible says let your moderation be known to all. The Lord is near (Philippians 4:5). A word is enough for the wise. |

essenjack: I pray for you now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ may the spirit of smoking leave you now may you receive Jesus as your personal lord and saviour, may you begin now to have a serous personal encounter now, in Jesus Christ name amen. |

Atlas9:The reason you are obviously confused is you find that what is written does not fit with what you have long been taught by the way of doctrines and traditions of men that Jesus Christ warned you against imbibing. Sin is disobedience of God's commandments, not your conscience. So, if God has not declared a thing a sin in His Kingdom, it is not your place to declare it so as that would be tantamount to spitting in God's own mouth. Unclean things are not "shameful" things or secret things. No, unclean as used in the Bible refers mainly to that which is against God's commandment. What is shameful and secret is relative since we each define that differently for ourselves. However, sin is universal in the sense that it is not dependent on individual whims and opinions but on the Word of God Himself. Here is better Wisdom for you. Study the Gospels so that you can learn the Truth of God and have the Truth of God set you free from ignorance of that which is sin in the sight of God. 1 Like |

So you dont know even the food we eat are not good for our body when we eat too much? it disorganised our digestive system or even might makes us sick... So does that mean we shouldn't eat anymore? One thing is if anything is too much it becomes bad... Smoking is never bad but when it gets too much then it is considered bad... If you mean smoking can kill us then you know how harzadous this country is with smokes and fumes coming from companies and vehicles? It they could have just killed us 5 to 10 years after our birth since smoke is bad. in the village my grandmother uses firewood to cook since she was a little girl and she didn't die. please stop misleading people... if you don't like smoking its okay but don't say its a sin. simple DappaD: 1 Like |

You would have done well not to include the highlighted in your concluding statements because what I presented was the Bible’s view on the matter. I’m in no way responsible for whether you respect the Bible or follow the counsel found in it so please next time know how to construct your sentences. I’m still looking for either the OP or any other person to disprove the points I clearly laid earlier, so far it’s only “You’re wrong, You’re wrong” and making up excuses yet absolutely no one could put up a strong logical argument from the Bible that’s why I’ve been ignoring most of the petty comments. 1 Like |
