The Revealed Truth 2: The Bible and Smoking

Recently, I was preaching and answering questions from neighbours on some issues from the bible then one of them asked this question, “Is smoking a sin?” I would like to add this, “If yes, where is it written in the Bible?” I paused for a while before continuing with Holy Spirit inspired answers I gave same day which I will be sharing in paragraphs below. This is the same question many smokers ask hence the “revealed truth”.

Before I proceed, I hope you have read the part one (1) of the revealed truth and if not, click here. For sometime I shall be revealing some truths from the bible as the Holy Spirit Grants revelation(s).

Higher Living says Stop Smoking.

Whenever Satan wants you to do anything wrong he gives you reason that makes them right before your eyes and he positions you in the company of people who won’t see anything wrong with it, where you will get a maximum support and thumbs up.

Let’s start by answering the first question. Smoking is a Sin. To the second question. It is no where written in the bible. From Genesis to revelation, you can’t anywhere God said or instructed, “do not smoke”.

Why and how is it then a Sin?

Every Cigarette pack has this written on it “Smokers are liable to die young” It has being proven that smoking leads to a lot of diseases such as cancer, and other terminal diseases. But many have paid deaf ears and are blinded to that simple warning of early death.

The sixth commandment in the bible says “You shall not murder.”-Exodus 20: vs 13. – God’s commandments written by God Himself to Moses, the Israelites and to us the present “Abrahamic” descendants. Smoking is suicide – an act of murder. If God therefore hates – frowns at murder it also means Smoking is a SIN.   Every smoker is a potential murderer – committing suicide – SINNING against God. God hates SIN.

The above I believe is the biblical stand on smoking.

I will not fail to state that God is the chief judge - who sees and knows the reasons behind our  actions. Some do smoke because of cold etc. but we do not have excuses for going against God's will.

Yours for the Lost,

Precious.
