Will Smoking Send You To Hell

gloryseeker · #1 08-04-2008, 04:54 PM

I have never seen any scriptures that deal with the subject of smoking even though there are scriptures that deal with drinking (maybe smoking wasn't around in the Bible days).

Most churches teach that smoking will send you to hell using scriptures that talk about how our bodies are the temple of God and we are to care for our bodies.

In my opinion, you can't take that stand unless you are also going to take a similar stand against other things that destroy this body.

It is a known fact that many types of foods cause diabetes, heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure and the like.

What is your opinion on this issue?

Me no likey cigars. However, a friend of mine and I were taking a trip to get a car I had bought off Ebay a few years ago. This was when I was still a smoker. We stopped at a gas station and bought as many different cigars as we could afford. It was just for that trip, and we had a total blast trying out all the different cigars! Neither one of us were interested in smoking cigars after that trip!

Your first mistake was buying cigars at a gas station.

True, but they're cheap that way. The Swisher Sweets weren't too bad. I've never tried a really good cigar. Is there that much of a difference?

No doubt... I'm gonna try to stay away from this thread... I started the same thread last time and I wound up in Banland during that little escapade.

I think we beat that horse to death, so I have nothing more to say on the topic that's worth saying. I'll be praying for the strength of the Lord to empower me to remain clear of this thread.

So far it's been a fun thread. I'm just waiting for PP, Brother Epley, or Old Paths to come along. It should be as much fun as a barrel of monkeys then. LOL!
