There seems to be an attempt to normalize that sinful behavior on this thread, which is regrettable.
Why not just say that smoking is a sin some folks struggle with, just like others struggle with gossip, lying, drinking, whoremongering and so on?
Why not try to help people find deliverance from a habit that has no benefit whatsoever?
Appealing to and appeasing fleshly lusts is contrary to Galatians 5. |
I guess it depends on the purpose of this thread. If we are approaching it from a theoretical position, I can not say smoking will send you to hell.
If we are trying to help someone quit I again am not going to heap guilt on them and threaten them with hell. Why are we so much more likely to tell the smoker he is going to hell than the 5' 10" 400 lbs guy who spends his day stuffing Twinkies in his face.
