WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

This may be because people are trying to justify certain habits. Who knows?
The question we have to ask here is “Is smoking beneficial?”
Smoking cigarettes has been proven to cause cancer. Cancer is not beneficial. Smoking is not prohibited by the Bible but whether or not it is beneficial is up for debate.

WHY SATAN LOVES IT WHEN YOU DRINK AND GET HIGH

Maybe you never thought of this, but you should know that drug use opens you up to spiritual attack. Some Indians used to use peyote and other "natural" substances to get high so that they could speak to their spiritual guides. I can tell you right now that those "guides" weren't angels of God; they were Satan's devils. Satan will use drugs and alcohol to get a stronghold in your life. He loves it when you drink and get high. Satan wants you to be off guard and hallucinating. There are specific demonic spirits associated with liquor and marijuana and cocaine and heroin, and opium, etc., and every time you use these substances, you could unknowingly be opening the doorway for these demonic spirits to come into your life.

Ephesians 6:12 warns us of such things: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Satan loves it when you drink alcohol and use drugs because you are then in no shape to fight against his attacks. You are leaving yourself wide open to demonic possession.

And satan loves it when you drink alcohol and use drugs because he knows that with your inhibitions lowered and your judgment gone, you will sin and get into things that you would have avoided had you not been intoxicated. How many people have been killed because of drunk drivers? How many babies have been aborted because two drunken strangers had sex that they later regretted? How many men and women have committed crimes against their neighbors and friends because they had to get some money for a quick fix?

God's Word warns against these things. Romans 13:12-14, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying: but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."

Proverbs 23:31-32 "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder."

Isaiah 28:7, "But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink. They are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment."

Does satan love the way you drink and get high? Are you living sober? Are you on guard? Remember Ephesians 6:11 instructs you to "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." So if you are struggling with sin in different areas of your life, ask yourself, "Am I leaving the door wide open for satan by the things I involve myself with?" And ask yourself, "Do I treat my body like the temple of the Holy Spirit or more like a temple of devils?"

Maybe you need to change your ways and follow the advice found here: 1 Peter 4:7, "But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."

75 WARNINGS

There is more Scripture condemning the use of alcoholic beverages than will be found on the subjects of lying, adultery, swearing, cheating, hypocrisy, pride, or even blasphemy.

Remember what the Holy Bible says about the coming of the messiah, JESUS CHRIST to rapture the church, that is those, that worship GOD in truth and faith:  Many will be deceived. Jesus said in Revelation that there will be increase of  knowledge and so many happenings in this end time, these signs shows that his coming is near. My brothers and sisters do not be deceived by anybody because these generation will witness this '' RAPTURE'' For Real. Please, Please DO NOT take the MARK OF THE BEAST ''666'' If you are not caught up in the RAPTURE that is about to happen very, very soon.

sorry bro,
no single verse from all the 75 quotation demanded of me not to drink alcohol being a Christian, so whats the point. Don't read unnecessary meaning into clear facts. The Bible only reveals the dangers and effects of being drunk to priests and kings of the old testament so that they will avoid being drunk and therefore not ministering the way they should. Drinking alcohol and being drunk are not the same OK. What food do you eat that contains no alcoholic substance?

really alcohol and cigarette is not a sin,but only a bad and dangerious habit to the body,first there is different between sin and priciple which alcohol and cigarette falls within that group of principle,dis are dirty abite that can kills both the body and makes the holy spirit of GOD to leave one if not careful,even the bible says that whatever we do we should always remember to do it to the glory of GOD,but that doesnt mean that drinking is a sin only drink as long as u know u wont misbehave or drinking wont lead u to sin,infact if drinking of an alcohol is a sin JESUS CHRIST wont make people sin by turning water into wine. infact psalm104 verse 15 makes us to know that wine can even makes the heart of man rejoice and makes the face shine with oil meaning can even be used as medicament,but then it will be better to stay out of trouble and for our own gud by avoiding drinking and smoking which can lead to cancer,liver and heart dieseas,remain bleesed as u read and meditate on dis write up be4 posting any funny reply.

So if you are struggling with sin in different areas of your life, ask yourself, "Am I leaving the door wide open for satan by the things I involve myself with?" And ask yourself, "Do I treat my body like the temple of the Holy Spirit or more like a temple of devils?"

Maybe you need to change your ways and follow the advice found here: 1 Peter 4:7, "But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."



After several long arguments you seem to have recognized the simple fact that makes the difference

The question you might now need to answer is: is an act sinful because it is not beneficial?

What are the Effects of Smoking?

Smoking has a number of effects on the body and mind. The chemicals in cigarettes are both physiologically and psychologically addictive (meaning the body and mind both become addicted) and have negative effects on the lungs, mouth, brain, and more. The most common result of smoking is lung cancer, but there are other diseases associated with smoking like asthma, emphysema, and birth defects.

Smoking and Your Mind

Smoking is an addiction. Your body becomes attached to the chemicals, but so does your mind. The effect of nicotine on the way you feel can become habit forming, so it can suddenly become more important than God or a minor distraction. Somehow, over time, the habit takes control, and it becomes difficult to let go of smoking. The Bible gives Christian teens a warning using the excessive drinking of wine as an example. It tells us to seek the Holy Spirit to feel good rather than other chemicals, because God will lead us on the right path rather than a path of physical destruction.

I have known of a lot of Christians who smoked and really just did not want to give this pleasure up. The Bible does say there is pleasure in sin for a season but in the end we shall reap the result of that sin
