    Is smoking a sin?

    We view smoking as being a sin based on the principle given at 2 Cor 7:1 Marks. We also believe that Jesus assigned a faithful slave to shepherd his sheep Mat 24:45-47. We believe them to be the governing body, and being assigned by Jesus, subject to be obeyed as if they were Jesus, who was to...

    COVENANTS

    We Christians do not live by the Law covenant sir. We live under the laws given to us under the new covenant.

    COVENANTS

    Christians today do not observe the Sabbath. We have been released from the law. Virtually all of us would have been executed if we were still under law for violation of it. Violation of the Sabbath under law, would result in a speedy execution. It was a very serious matter. Num 15:32-36

    COVENANTS

    I am sorry you are unable to see that this appointing is a covenant maam. Perhaps you understand that the law covenant was fulfilled, and therefore Christians are not bound by it.

    Is smoking a sin?

    The Bible might sir, it changes many lives, it sure changed mine. There is a passage that states this Backlit: (Hebrews 4:12) . . .the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow...

    COVENANTS

    It is not necessary Bob, in reality if the sabbath was still law, most everyone would have been executed, I know I would have been. How thankful we can be that we were released from the law through the sacrifice of Jesus. Could you imagine the Christian congregation trying to live by the law...

    Is smoking a sin?

    There are many versions of the Bible for sure Marks, the great thing is that although every one of them use different words in translation, God's message remains unaltered. Pick the Bible you best understand is a great philosophy, as you can find truth in most any of them. I too do not like the...

    Is smoking a sin?

    Through the blood sacrifice of Jesus sir. Our responsibility is to do the will of Jehovah, Jesus said it is they that would receive everlasting life in the Kingdom of God. Mat 7:21-23 The first step of everlasting life is found at John 17:3, we have to come to know God and Jesus, we do this by...

    Predestination vs free will: is there really any conflict in Scripture?

    No conflict in scripture, no predestination

    Is smoking a sin?

    I think the reason the governing body is so against it, is one who would deliberately do harm to themselves, and put others in jeopardy as well, really be showing the proper respect for the sanctity of life. They have determined it to be a disfellowshipping offense among us witnesses of Jehovah...

    “For many are called, but few are chosen.”

    I would even find that reason illogical Wrangler. I feel privileged in a way to have lived the world as well as Jehovah's way. I am not proud of the things I did, but unlike our faithful ones that were raised in the truth, I have experienced what the world has to offer vs God. I feel so very...
