Reminder that if you're a smoker you need to get over that right now. You're dishonoring your body as a temple that God gave you. It's disgusting. It suppresses your appetite so you eat less and are weaker. It affects you hormonally. It's associated with lasciviousness.

>but I only pipe smoke aged South Carolina tobacco

>but I only smoke fine cigars

You're a soyboy

>but quitting is hard

not an argument

If you smoke, admit it right now so we can bully you about it and you'll feel accountability.

I smoke, Marlboro. But, I literally cannot be made to feel bullied on an anonymous croatian basket weaving forum.


c1bef1  No.2271

>>2270

So you're jaded about your disgusting habit huh

>>2268

>fine cigars

>soyboy

There is literally nothing more masculine than cigars


9acbd7  No.2274

Also it's possible to smoke tobacco and not be an addict, especially if it's pipe or cigar (because those are too expensive for addictive behavior). Might you be projecting your own experiences, OP?

Not me, I've never smoked (because I have a functioning mother and father) and I'm under religious vow against all alcohol and tobacco.


e1bd56  No.2277

>>2271

Nope. It's just literally impossible to bully anyone in a place that has the ability to filter, block, ignore, or ban. I can shut you up with the click of a button, so how exactly are you going to bully me?


c1bef1  No.2278

>>2277

Like this: you're a coping faggot

It's bullying whether or not it works, I'm really only hoping to help you find incentive to quit, take it or leave it.


e1bd56  No.2279

>>2278

I've been smoking since I was 12. I've heard all the arguments, seen all the diseased lung pics, read all the literature, heard the throat-box voiced lecturers, seen the cancer wards. My dad died of lung cancer at 43, mom's still alive, one grandfather lived to 90, the other died at 56. Genetic crapshoot.

What else could you possibly bring to the table?


c1bef1  No.2280

>>2279

All I can do is remind you that you're a loser, but it doesn't have to be that way.

It doesn't seem like you're interested in quitting, so have a nice life.


e1bd56  No.2281

>>2280

>a loser

Hmm. I'm a college graduate, married, have children, own property, and so forth. Am I a loser? Or do I just have a habit you personally don't like?


c1bef1  No.2282

>>2281

a loser


e1bd56  No.2283

>>2282

Nifty opinion you have there.


dbb79c  No.2372

>so we can bully you

Thats not how agape love works friend.

Smoking is certainly a huge vice for a lot of folk but trying to shame or bully them for their actions is the wrong way to go about it.

Actually, 1 Corinthians 6:19 has nothing to do with smoking or tattoos or eating foods. Here is what it says.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin[e] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

We need to read the whole thing in context. Paul is saying just the opposite of how most people use this verse. He is saying that it does NOT matter what we put into our bodies. All things are allowable, but not all things are beneficial. He does point out that he will not be dominated (addicted) to anything. So it is okay to have the occasional drink or cigar if you can do so without becoming addicted. He then specifically says that it doesn't matter what foods we eat (verse 13).

Then he moves on to the main point. What does defile the body is sexual immorality, and here is why. When two people are joined together sexually, they become "one flesh". They are joined together physically and spiritually (verse 16). You can study more about this in Ephesians 5:25-33, Matthew 19:5 and Genesis 2:24.

Since Christians are the temple of God, we are joined to Christ spiritually. Here is the main point. If we as Christians have sex with a non-believer (prostitute in this case), we are therefor joining Christ with a prostitute. This is what the passage is about. The Corinthians were using God's grace as an excuse to have sex with prostitutes, and Paul is saying that they can not do that. It has nothing to do with foods, smoking or tattoos.

>>2375

Why?

I hate to sound like a gatekeeper here, but are you Christian?

Did Jesus call the woman caught in adultery a fucking whore loser? C'mon, we're called to be better than that.

Approach it with love and prayer. I see your Baptist flag so I must ask if your church goes soul winning do you berate the unsaved about their actions? Id hope not.

Everyone struggles with sin, just because his smoking is a different sin than yours its all the same to God.

A Baptist knocked on my door once. I opened the door with a cigarette in one hand and a gin and tonic in the other. He screamed "LOSER" at me, so I shot him in the face.

The thread is directed to Christians. Admonishing is a biblical principle


dbb79c  No.2382

>>2379

Admonish : To reprove gently but earnestly.

Guess what bullying and insulting isnt.


34934f  No.2385

>>2382

Nice Cherry picked definition

There is no gentleness implied in admonish in the biblical use. It's more like rebuke, sternly make people aware.

The Bible at several points looks on to people not knowing their shame as a negative. Is the Buble unloving to tell people that? This is the point here.

Anyway stop being such a schoolmarm.


c5e646  No.2397

>>2385

Cherry picked? It is literally the first search result.

But sure, keep being a name calling cunt. Im sure youll win droves of souls to Christ that way.

And you're being a pedantic ass for no particular reason.
