Can Christians Smoke Cigarettes?

[Rollo Tamasi]

How about this. Some Christians smoke. Some drink. Some eat too much. Some take a bunch of drugs from their doctor. All of these things are bad for you. Just simple. God gave us these bodies. We should respect them and take care of them. Give God respect for these vessels he gave us. If you don't smoke realize that it is really, really hard to stop for most, harder to quit than crack or heroin for some. So, if you do it, let's not judge and form witch hunts. If you don't do it, please don't start as it is highly addictive. I have some missing family members that died early deaths because of smoking, drinking, overeating, legal and illegal drugs, and combinations of these things. My definition of early deaths? Between 40-60.

Thank you King James, good post, right on the money (gambling?).

He Jethro, is that your real name?

In E-Harmony, yes again, lol.

In real life I'm Boner T. Tubsley......Jr.

You haven't seen "No Country for Old Men?"

I saw that one. Jethro's acting was brilliant. I could hardly believe that he is a God-fearing man. Such skill; that evil persona almost jumped off the screen. He really smoked them keyholes too.

It's nice to get to know the real Jethro here, but no worry, your secret's save with me. Great Job, Jethro!

Thank you, thank you.

I must admit it's one of my finer performances.

Thanks for watching.

I like movies where the bad guy wins.

It hits me pretty odd to see that picture posting the good things that he does! Blows me away.

The choice of avatar is 75% humor, 25% to be provocative. I found myself kind of admiring the calm, but steadfast determination of the bad guy to fulfill his agenda. This is kinda how I see Jesus when he was on earth, except fulfilling a much more noble and righteous agenda of course, but with the same calm but steadfast determination. And how we should be in regard to our witness to the world...serious, steadfast, confident, powerful, and unmoved.

I definitely see the humor in it.

Good to know someone else does too, lol.

There's nothing worse than trying to be funny and nobody gets it. I not only have that T-shirt...I have the whole wardrobe. (You get it, right?......right?)

Since I've only seen the TV version of the movie, I wondered if there was things in the movie that would put my choice of avatar over the top.

I seen the DVD. No, I don't think so. If anything, it may make it more provocative lol. I think it's an awesome avatar.

Sure I get it. You have a great sense of humor.

Who is it suppose to be?

That's the bad guy in the movie. The killer. He's very calm cool collected and patient. Has a cool killing toy also. He wins. He's so efficient at what he does, well, enough spoilers. It's a good movie. That's the joke. He such a bad guy and an avatar for a guy on a Christian site, lol...

Flip a coin...

I'm sure it's online somewhere by now.

So Jethro is really a bad guy?

I always knew there was something about him.....

Anyway, congrats. to anyone who has recently managed to give up smoking!

Blessings.

I believe it was Paul who said, "Everything is permissible for you, but not everything is beneficial."
