    Is smoking a sin?

    Perhaps a review of Mat 7:21-23 and Luke 13:24 is in order maam. You do understand that Jesus gave us an assignment correct? What is the meaning of the parable found at Mat 25:14-30? Please do not let others teach you that all you have to do is believe Pearl.

    The great thing about the Bible is that it identifies the faith. Yes some of us are "in Christ". They have been bought out from among us by Jesus' blood for a very special privilege. Although I would accept that assignment if I were called, I am actually thankful that I have not been chosen. It...

    Biggest mistake of the church and we need to go back

    Thanks Ron for your opinion, we disagree sir. I teach Jesus was resurrected as a spirit being and went back to heaven in the form he had before. We teach all residents of heaven are spirit beings, not flesh. We believe flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of the heavens.

    Is smoking a sin?

    You do understand that Jesus is #2 correct? Jehovah is not subject to Jesus, Jesus is subject to Him sir.

    Is smoking a sin?

    Those who choose to be their own god like Adam did, choose for themselves what is good and bad sir. I believe you are familiar with that found at Gen 3:5. Those who have decided to serve Jehovah must obey the rules and regulations set down by Jehovah. Sometimes these are determined through His...

    Is smoking a sin?

    You misunderstand the verses likely because of the alteration, such as removing God's name, as well as 1600's english. You thought not robbery means Jesus didn't consider it a sin to be equal to Jehovah, rather in the 1600's people would have understood it to be exactly opposite. Does not for...

    As Jesus' disciples we worship and serve Jehovah exclusively as he stated sir. Mat 4:10 Not only that your statement is quite contradictory don't you think

    Is smoking a sin?

    Being a disciple of Christ is not a free ticket maam. You are expected to follow the rules and regulations set forth for Christians in the Bible.

    Is smoking a sin?

    I said nothing about JW's maam. I asked very clearly is smoking a sin. It either is or isn't. Many people believe it is, I am one of them, and several posting have believed otherwise. I do thank you for your input. You are quite correct however, Jehovah's witnesses do not allow the practice of...

    Biggest mistake of the church and we need to go back

    The Bible states Jesus was resurrected a spirit 1 Pet 3:18. He was unrecognized but appeared bodily as many angels in the past had who came to earth. The Bible states very clearly that flesh and blood cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven. Jesus flesh and blood was sacrificed in our behalf, and...

    Is smoking a sin?

    I can see that the reason you formed your conclusion was greatly influenced by the version of the Bible you have chosen sir. One verse you quoted makes it appear that Jesus considered it ok to be equal to God, which contradicts other verses that clearly show he is not. Most of the problem is...

    Is smoking a sin?

    Our governing body in agreement with the surgeon general decided to consider it a sin for Jehovah's people to smoke, thus deliberately partaking in known things harmful to the body which shows a lack of respect for the sanctity of life. We have the choice of obeying or disobeying their...
