About smoking....

Dear Brothers and Sisters
Here is my take on smoking.

Obviously smoking is not healthy. It can contribute to many types of cancer such as mouth, throat, lung, and stomach.

Biblically speaking and from what I can gather after doing some research, that No it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that we can not smoke; however it also doesn’t say that we should smoke. The problem seems to be that we shouldn’t be a slave to things such as smoking. We shouldn’t let such things master us.

1 Corinthians
12 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.

Now to finish, I am new to Christianity. The best place to look for answers is the Bible itself. Also pray for guidence. I prayed for guinence on this very subject and later the same day I found myself reading 1 Corinthians (for a completely different matter) when I found the verse quoted above. Bless God for showing me where to find teh answer.

God bless you
