Omoluabiii: Romans 14:1-23 ESV As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. |

caesymore: Can u pls quote them properly? |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:59am On Oct 11, 2021 |
caesymore:Well that's the one and only organization of people who are PRACTICING what Jesus taught unlike most unfaithful religionists who can't adhere to Jesus' teaching but using magical acts and tricks to cover-up claiming they're performing miracles! Matthew 7:21-23 So understanding is not when people around you accept your religion as normal rather it's the fine results of your faith {Matthew 7:16-18} Jesus was the world's most wonderful counselor of all times yet most people in his time thought he was insane {John 10:20} of course that's exactly the same thing people will always say about his true followers! Matthew 10:22-25; John 15:19 |

MaxInDHouse:" our own God....... " How many gods do we actually have, if I may ask? |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by MaxInDHouse(m): 11:15am On Oct 11, 2021 |
udomma1005:There are many gods in the world {1 Corinthians 8:5} so if your god approves smoking but mine doesn't then each person will have to speak for his own god that's why i said "our own God" Micah 4:5 |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by udomma1005(m): 11:19am On Oct 11, 2021 |
MaxInDHouse:What does this your god really approve? |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by Chibuezem(m): 11:25am On Oct 11, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Matthew 4:4...... I live by the God's spoken word to me and He told me that Sin degrades a man spiritual and physically... What did God tell you about smoking? There are a few sins not written in the scripture like mastubation, smoking etc |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by MaxInDHouse(m): 11:30am On Oct 11, 2021 |
udomma1005:That's not the topic now, let's focus on the topic "SMOKING" our own God disapproves smoking but yours approves it so it's clear that both of us can't be speaking of the same god! |

Omoluabiii:Mine was seeing someone who was an elder(Mr Okuwa ,may his soul rest in peace) I respected and adored died because of it. The man was a very bright man with a very sharp sense of intellect but as a kid .I knew that he was a Benson and hedges chain smoker. He was rushed to hospital and that was it.he was gone! Then there was my cousins' parents became orphans just like that.Then dewale Naa! Nobody can preach smoking to me! It has taken too many people I know! |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by Kobojunkie: 11:47am On Oct 11, 2021 |
Chibuezem:The Word of God is Jesus Christ, He is the very Word out of God's own mouth and He explained to you in Matthew 15 vs 10 - 20 and Mark 7 vs 1 - 23 that the only things that cause degradation of a man are not those substances external to man, food, water, smoke, air....etc. - those things go into man and are passed out - but instead those bad things stored up inside of the man's mind... like sexual lust, fornication, evil thoughts, etc. So, it isn't enough to say with your lips that you live by Jesus Christ, you need to KNOW the Truth, Jesus Christ, and only then can He set you free from the lies and from all the other delusions that keep you from doing the Will of God and in slavery to sin. |

MaxInDHouse: What a way of answering an Otem-like post!!! People like budaatum and AOO1 also think almost everyone on Earth doesn't understand anything written in English So They divert from the message,turn statements upside down,call you names,mock you,accuse you of so many things Then deny all they do He needs help He's an idiot He's a useless person He hates himself Such is their defense But in vain .... They can only boast of what I have not eaten before.........(maybe fellow humans) For he that considers me a lunatic doesn't make me regret anything.... |

Dtruthspeaker: But you eat sugar. Foolish christians |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by Dtruthspeaker: 5:11pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
AFRICANJAMAICA: What kind of stupid counter attack is this since you can not defend yourself? Then you attack with sugar! Sugar which when first put in babies mouths you get love and giggles whilst you nearly choked to death inhaling that horribly disgusting stuff, dying of cough and your eyes watering red when you first took it. You can as well live in a dustbin, eat there and inhale the smoke there, Stupid Tape Worm. |

Kobojunkie:The sad effect of smoking is all over our society, so no need to argue |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by Kobojunkie: 10:56pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
paltielx:But what has that to do with God's Law? |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by paltielx: 1:30pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:As i mention earlier, the Bible warns against any form of defilement of flesh, its boldly written on their packs that "smokers are liable of dying young. A God that value life is against thing like that |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by Kobojunkie: 1:42pm On Oct 12, 2021 |
paltielx:Defilement of flesh? Interesting! So, what did God tell you defiles you as an individual - clues to this can be found in Matthew 15 vs 10 - 20 and Mark 7 vs 1 - 23? As for a God that values life, are you sure your life is what He values or the kind of life He wants that He does? |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by paltielx: 10:17am On Oct 13, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:in those verses what comes out of the mouth is speech not food or eatable things, that's what Jesus meant, ones vomit cannot defile the person |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by Kobojunkie: 12:33pm On Oct 13, 2021 |
paltielx:You are very very Wrong! Read again and this time, try not to be in a rush to make Jesus Christ say what you want but instead be open to hearing and learning from Him in humility. Matthew 15 vs 10 - 20 and Mark 7 vs 1 - 23 |
Re: Is Smoking A Sin? by udomma1005(m): 8:03am On Oct 14, 2021 |
MaxInDHouse:Kikikiki, seems you don't really know much about this your "God" or "god", reason you shying away from the obvious. Go work on yourself & try to live in peace with moslems, Hindus, jews, Taoist, pagans, marahajis etc. Do unto them what you want done to you! Quit trying to explain the "God factor", it's too complex for you to ecplain, that I observe. Respect your religion and respect other religions equally. Stop trying to swap God with Jehova & cross for stake, it's useless & baseless. Keep away from smokers since you & that your god detest it but shut up and never criticise anyone because you're incapable of fabricating, the least as the strand of human hair |
