Sm oking is not a sin, but it certainly is not good, and not a good witness to non-believers bec ause it shows a dependency on something material and not on the Spiritual, on Jesus.
I would never condemn a person for smoking, I did for decades..... One day, listening to a preacher on tv, she said if you give up something because of God's love it is like putting it on the altar and it is consumed by fire, the smoke from it becomes a sweet savor to our Father. This is a freewill offering and nothing approaching what Jesus has done once and forever for all who accept Him
When she said this, I though, gee, I would really like to please God with a freewill offering, especially if it is a sweet savor to Him, so I put out my cigarette, with two cartons more in the larder and almost four packs a day, I just quit, happy as a lark that even I could do something that could please our Father. It was wonderful, and though I did have one or two cravings.......I was just too happy to smoke again.
Now, I do not like to be around someone smoking. No, I do not condemn them, I just do not like the smell any more, it ihas been 22 years, and I praise God for getting me out of that ridiculous dependency. He is so good.
So, were I to condemn any smoker for smoking, I would, in actual effect, be condemning myself, and that is just not happening. Praise God. I pray if it is the case that you are a smoker, I really pray this has helped you. You are family in Christ either way. God bless you.........j
