If smoking ciggerettes was around at the time of Jesus would it have been classed a sin

Its like fear, some cry and others laugh, all thoughts can be like and dislike, that is for learning judge will come back and judge yourself by thoughts. nothing can hurt spirit we all have that ability to say I AM, now the body gets effected by our thoughts, healthy can get cancer and die young, they created by believing good and bad, and some don't worry about any of it, they know death is not a victory and laughed at by our spirit that knows what grace and love can defeat any fear or any evil created by thoughts. the earthy body does return to dust, .

Hi all dear brother and sisters. If smoking ciggerettes was classed as a sin, would you obey that law ?

Firstly there is no mention of smoking ciggerettes in our bible, so i can only assume they where not invented then.

However i need to ask the question, why is adultery the only sin you can commit against your own body.

KJ21
Flee fornication. Every other sin which a man doeth is outside the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.


I have a strong belief that the five sences of the body all get defiled and polluted when you smoke cigerettes, thus making smoking ciggerettes a sin against the body (the flesh) which then gives a demon the ability to possess the flesh of the body. would this be the same for adultery,

I would read post 196, and then ask your question again. post 196 came befor your question, and it answers your question, and proves without a shadow of a doubt that smoking is number 1 temptatation from the devil and number 2 sin, number 3 living in sin, number 4 being married to the harlot.

Hi to all you beautiful christians, may the joy of the lord be your strenght.


This is the place i love, a clean temple where the Holy Spirit dwells, A paradise and an eternal place of security full of riches, strength kindness self-control, Will power to do the right thing and will power to keep your temple clean and help your loved ones to keep their temple clean, the joys that follow as two people walk hand in hand as one in the body of Christ enjoying the fruits of his rich temple, filled with all those rich treasures, we enjoy the comfort of the Holy Spirit, fixing our concerns and our nature with self-control love peace communion joy will power wisdom, warning us of the enemy in advance and keeping us protected in his hedge. The richness of his kindness combined with the will power of self-control is a free gift that shines inside the clean temple of his beloved children like a star that shines in pure brilliant light in his kingdom that has no end. The kindness and willingness to stay in this temple and not lose sight becomes an anchor in the heart of the believer that knows the way and this anchor bounces up from the believers' heart when one of their loved ones is in danger of being snatched, The hope is you get there as quick as you can before sin has a chance to take root, where by your loved one is snatched and has become one with a harlot.
As you walk on by you realize in the case of one of your loved ones is addicted to nicotine they will only learn how bad nicotine is until they actually quit the consumption of nicotine.

I'm going to take a little time to help you see something really important.

Nicotine is just as addictive as heroin and cocaine. When a smoker don't get a fix of nicotine the nature in a persons body becomes restless irritated or bad-tempered even angry, which means the fruits of the spirit is no longer controlling that persons' nature, a very powerful drug called nicotine is. This is very important to understand just how dangerous that is. Because when the fruits of the spirit are no longer controlling a person nature. A person is in spiritual trouble. Temptation then is so much harder to overcome and nicotene is as strong as that. The will of a person is then broken.

This is also very important to spiritual well-being and the fruits of spirit working as they should do in the body. This is why Jesus tells us the body is a temple for the Holy Spirit.

Drug addiction of the most addictive type, like nicotine, is something that starts with temptation from the devil. Smoking nicotine is the devils' invention to separate a person from the fruits of the spirit, which protect a persons very nature. Nicotine takes control of a persons nature and is an artificial substance, all people will get angry if they smoke and don't get their fix. This does not happen to people born again who don't smoke. When a person is controlled by addiction to drugs as strong as nicotine then they can also be controlled by Satan because the fruits of the spirit are no longer controlling the person's nature and temperament, nicotine is.

The full reality is for a smoker to keep their nature under control is they have to keep smoking or go through 3 to six months of withdrawals such is the power of nicotine addiction that smokers have withdrawals for months. This means it's a serious drug addiction just like heroin and cocaine it seriously controls the body which is a temple that the Holy Spirit should be controlling

being diabetic is commonly caused by a person eating too much rich, sugary foods.

diabetes can be just as harmful as smoking side effects on the body.

so, since you say smoking or vaping is a sin, then would being diabetic also be a sin??

is being diabetic a sin?

I guess It's just not serious then to be led astray as well, and we should accept that to,

Reminds me of a joke I once heard about cigarettes'. Somebody walks by and see someone smoking. They say, "Poor cigarette! Fire on one end, fool on the other!"

No offence, just a joke. I used to smoke myself as a teenager and God helped me give it up.

...and yet I did this for 50 years. Smoke free since mid Feb though. Nicotine is horribly addictive. Still feeling the pain of withdrawal but each day I'm smoke-free is getting a little better. I can think of worse things that are a blight on humanity besides smoking.

Having smoked for 50+ years I am fully aware of the hazards of smoking. Yes, nicotine is most addictive. The unhealthy aspects of smoking is the burning of the tobacco and paper as many poisons are created. This results in tar that is deposited into the lungs which then accumulates, destroying lung tissue and clogging air passages. Other parts of the body are also damaged due to lack of oxygen and the poisons being distributed.

I was never in denial about the danger of smoking and knew full well the deleterious aspects in regards to health. I started a thread 7 years ago called Midnight Confessions that is still going. In the OP I admitted that I was an addict. I have documented part of my journey of withdrawal in my Pain Management Clinic thread that has been running for over 7 years as well.

Currently, I am at the end of the 6 months of withdrawal that you have mentioned.

Yes, the body is the temple of the Lord. It also has been stated that what you consume does not make you unclean but rather what comes out of one's mouth.

I continue to pray for God to deliver me from the cravings and to keep me smoke free. I have also prayed for God to mitigate the damage I have caused to my body due to years of abuse by smoking. I have not asked for forgiveness because I don't believe that smoking is a sin. However, despite that, I do pray for all of my sins that I may have committed to be forgiven.

What I don't get is why people who smoke are given their own sinful designation by others, and that being 'smoker'. I guess that is equal to 'murderer', 'adulterer', and other such classifications of sinful behavior.

I appreciate your concern but as you can see this is not my first time around in regards to the hazards of smoking and now, by the grace of God and the prayers of my wife and family through the years, am now on the road to recovery.

This is my full reality of the situation as it exists today.

I dont get what youve wrote here,,,,, What I don't get is why people who smoke are given their own sinful designation by others, and that being 'smoker'. I guess that is equal to 'murderer', 'adulterer', and other such classifications of sinful behavior.

People are singled out just because they happen to smoke as being sinful. Seems judgemental as well as hypocritical.

No my friend that's how people feel, but granted if people are doing that which i am not then that is wrong to a degree. To another degree tho, i know in my heart that smoking cigarettes is a temptation from a harlot i have heard over and over again, and not my own imagination, or my own thoughts, now that needs to be singled out, and if a smoker feels singled out because of that then i can not be held responsible for that.

It's all good brother. Let's go in peace.

im doing my best really i am, all tho i did allmost pull the last of my hair out last night. and felt addiction like never befor, last night was day 20 without a puff of nicotene and a harlot really went to work on my poor little head last night, last night was the worst crave i had in the whole 20 days of me not having a puff.

yup you to go brother go in peace but please do come back i need this forum keeping going to help me quit.

He would be an outcast. Of course, He already was an outcast to start with. God did create tobacco though.
