How do we know we won't become addicted if we begin drinking, smoking?


How is marijuana okay for some Christians but not Crack or Cocaine or some other substance, if the person uses it sparingly?


Should we partake in front of other believers? We don’t know if they have an overindulgence problem?


Are we showing respect for the gift of our physical bodies which the holy spirit indwells if we smoke or drink?

Is marijuana okay for medicinal purposes??


E-cigarettes or Vaping has become a popular trend. Is that okay?



Doctrine

Is it a sin? If so, does it mean a person isn’t saved?

Do we see alcohol, tobacco or marijuana use in Scripture?
  • Galatians 5:21
  • 1 Peter 4:7
  • 1 Peter 5:8
  • Proverbs 20:1
  • 1 Timothy 3:2
  • Ephesians 5:18
  • Proverbs 23:29-35
  • 1 Corinthians 5:11
  • Romans 12:1
  • Romans 14:21
  • 1 Corinthians 6:12,19-20,

We can all agree that drunkenness is condemned in the bible
