Is "Smoking" Sin? Can you find a "single" passage in the Bible that says it is?
No, you can't.. that one I'd bet my left nut on.
What most churches miss is, there is nothing "that Jesus" said against it.
However, without giving actual "scripture here" (and I will if needed) Jesus never said that was bad. Jesus wanted us as humans to think of right and wrong. Take care of our bodies, and eachother.
To (for) me, Smoking is "Sin"! God laid on my heart (long ago) it was wrong to me. That doesn't mean it's wrong to you. If you can have a few smokes "and not be addicted", or even some beers.. it's basically up to your heart to determine what is right or wrong. God will lay on you, what is right or wrong for you. Guide you even.
Smoking is not a SIN, it's only a sin if you feel in your own heart it is. To me, it is a sin.. and bad for me. I have quit lots of times, and don't smoke now. But I mess up, I have one now and then. What you really need to determine, is if it's "ok" for you to have a smoke or not.
This actually goes into the very "Deep" Biblical stuff. Myself, I know it's wrong for me.. but I can't say if wrong to anyone else because I don't know them or the situation. If "Jesus" says to your heart "you need to quit".. try. It won't be easy. I can promise, if he wants you to quit.. he will let you know.. lol. Then TRY to quit. He will let you know at any rate.
God (Jesus) just wants good. I think if all look at him with this angle, all would love him. Really, it's who he is (was).
IS SMOKING A SIN FOR YOU? Only your own heart can tell you that... you won't find it in the Bible... But you will find Jesus wants the "Best" for ya.....
gary :)
