@Titus FYI.....thread I started....
(Any wisdom...?)
Even the world is able to see tattoos, smoking, vaping is a vice not a virtue.
Christians are not to invole themselves with carnal things that are iof no profit.
Ephesians 5:17-19
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.
God desires His people to be wise.
That is not only pertaining to drinking but all that we do,
Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
Everything we do in this life must be done in the name of the Lord Jesus. This means by
Gods authorization we do everything according to Gods will.
Examples:
"In the name of the Lord, I will go into whorehouses that serve free coffee"
"In the name of the Lord I will drink at public bars during early morning, evening and night"
"In the name of the Lord I will go to places like tattoo parlors"
These examples are places that Mayor's, Presidents, famous preachers would not want to be seen in fear of their reputation being harmed.
Can a Christian really practice vaping and believe, "I am vaping in the name of the Lord" Is that Gods will for His people? No way!
These secular things are carnal, worldly and it is sinful for Christians to involve themselves in such activities.
1Corinthians 3:1-3
And I brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Christians are not to invole themselves in worldly, carnal practices.
Involving oneself in these worldly things keeps a Christian immature.
The only way to please God and grow up as a christian is to put away these foolish practices.
Question:
I dont vape.
Would it be a positive thing for me in my life to start vaping today?
Who here would affirm that I should start vaping?
As I said there is no virtue in these things.
