do not gorge yourself, lest you give offense.
18 If there are many with you at table,
do not be the first to reach out your hand.
19 Does not a little suffice for a well-bred man?
When he lies down, it is without discomfort.
20 Distress and anguish and loss of sleep, and restless tossing for the glutton!
Moderate eating ensures sound slumber and a clear mind next day on rising.
21 If perforce you have eaten too much,
once you have emptied your stomach, you will have relief.
22 Listen to me, my son, and do not scorn me;
later you
will find my advice good. In whatever you do, be moderate,1 [1 [
Sir_31:22] Heb, Syr / LXX “industrious”]
and no sickness will befall you.
23 On a man generous with food, blessings are invoked, and this testimony to his goodness is lasting;
24 he who is miserly with food is denounced in public, and this testimony2 [2 [ Sir_31:24] Heb(B[mg]), LXX / Heb(B[txt]) “knowledge”] to his stinginess is lasting.

Jdg 3: Eglon was Fat & Assassinated

(A) Jdg_3:17 – Eglon was a very fat MT man
(B) Jdg_3:22 – the sword pierced through his belly in the fat covered it up the handle
(A) Very Fat Man?
Jdg 3:16 WEB Ehud made him a sword which had two
edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right
thigh.
Jdg 3:16 LB
And Ehud made himself a two-edged dagger of a span long, and he
secured it under his cloak upon his right thigh.
Jdg 3:16 καὶ
ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ
Αωδ μάχαιραν δίστομον,
σπιθαμῆς τὸ μῆκος
αὐτῆς, καὶ

Jdg_3:17 WEB He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon
was a very fat man.
Jdg_3:17 LB
And he went, and brought the presents to Eglon
king of Moab. And Eglon was a very handsome [ἀστεῖος

καὶ προσήνεγκεν
τὰ δῶρα τῷ
Εγλωμ βασιλεῖ
Μωαβ· καὶ
Εγλωμ ἀνὴρ ἀστεῖος

LXX [ἀστεῖος] implies he spent his life in the “finer city” and was therefore “refined”.
This could maybe include food, depending on context.
(B) Fat Covered The
Blade (Handle?)
Jdg_3:22 WEB and the haft also went in after the blade; and
the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his body; and it came out
behind.
Jdg_3:22 and drove in also
the handle after the blade, and the fat closed in upon the blade
[καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν
τὸ στέαρ κατὰ τῆς
φλογός], for he did not draw the dagger out
of his belly
[ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέσπασεν
τὴν μάχαιραν ἐκ

Sharing Food
Job's Righteous Food Eating & Sharing Example
He shared his food
This example of righteously handling food eating,
especially when there is an abundance.
and since Job avoided being condemned with his indulgent
sons by the righteousness of his hatred of money and his careful reverent
management of sharing his food therefore Job has become an example of salvation
for us to flee from the wrath of prideful indulgence including the way that we
reverently and carefully and generously eat our food.
2 Meals in the Bible
“Breakfast” and Morning Meals
Joh_21:15 So when they had eaten breakfast,
Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son
of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes,
Lord; You know that I care for You." He said to
him, "Feed [βοσκεG1006]
My lambs [αρνιαG721 N-APN – contrasted arḗn (G704)]."
This is really 1st meal eaten early after
fishing all night
Jesus and the fig tree is a light breakfast that makes
sense in the Bible.
Other Examples of Morning Meals
- end of judges; prostitute
- Jesus breakfast after fishing all night
- fig tree
- late night (if a friend
asks for bread)
Bad
- feasting when we should be working (i.e. in the
morning)
Paul - 'food for the stomach and stomach for food' –
Paul clearly opposed this hap-hard approach to eating
Specification: whether you eat or drink do to glory of God
Shunning Eating Food Sacrificed to Idols
What is Not Bad to Eat
You can do a religious thing before you eat, but that does not make the whole meal necessarily religious.
What is Bad to Eat
“Everyone participating in eating is playing a part in what we are doing together spiritually (in recognition of our common deity).”
Ex. “We are all eating/exchanging gifts to celebrate the birth of christ.”
That includes situations when you are as if you were in the boat with Jonah, and they say, “every man cry out to his god…” and you step aside and say, “Well, I’m not going to be pagan, but incidentally, my God does have the answer.”
This might also
include…
Invoking your spiritual authority (as a priest/ spiritual mediator does) to define the substance and spiritual well-being of the food that is being presented. In that case you, as a type of priest on behalf of the family (or gathering), are the idol/ mediary, standing over the food, representing the demon that the food is being placed under, polluting it with your darkness and directly suggesting the reception of that same demon-reverence into everyone who is eating/ participating.
If you are all sitting at the table, and a Pentecostal family leader might say something like
“I bless this food in the name of my religious deity” – then that could be a type of polluted food.
They are not only blessing it, but they are bringing everyone into it, so that everyone is participating/agreeing with blessing by/ when eating it. (Everyone here is agreeing with this blessing.)
Ways to possibly divert religiosity over food:
“Can we clarify here: is this a religious gathering or a family meal?”
If they let you celebrate “Hanukkah” then this can defuse some of the implied spiritual filth, and establish a barrier between you and their defiling ideals.
Conclusions/ Applications
Each one thanking various gods for the food* is different than a leader *invoking spiritual authority* over the food. (see our previous primary statement).
[* If it ever is that, weather verbal or non-verbal,
that is not what we are talking about]
If they are minded to invoke their authority over the food, they may or may not have all kinds of perverted *motives* as they each thank the gods for the food, but if they are audacious enough to put it into corporate words (that is, their authority) then you need to be courageous enough to stand up against it.
The critical distinction we seek to make is between authoritatively mediating on behalf of demons, and each person thanking the gods for their food. (note: it is irrelevant weather they say they are all praying to the same god… usually they are thanking the gods like pagans always do.)
This difference may be between saying ‘I thank the gods for this food’ and saying ‘I bless this food on behalf of the gods’ – thus fully establishing your corporate leadership over the spiritual state of the food.
Indicator of irrelevant grieving details or defiling sacrifice:
It is not whether their doing something in the name of their god, but *what* they are doing in the name of their god.
It is the difference between being clergy and laity. Each pagan scrambling toward his own god (as they did when Jonah was in the boat) and a priest raising up to bless the people.
Praying to some deity out there to bless the food is different than you blessing the food with your authority, based on your mediation into the spiritual realm. The gods are not real, and the demons they each refer to might never answer them, but that’s different than you taking authority over the food. They are not real, but you are. And if you are presently standing over the food, that is different than crying out to something out there to come down and bless the food.
When Paul says to eat what is set before you, part of the bases is that ‘an idol is nothing in the world’ and ‘the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof’. But a person *is* something in this world, and when they stand over the food, they cannot be ignored the same as the pretend gods that they are asking to come down and affect the food.
Al’s Quick Notes
Both Paul (1Cor 8) and Peter (1Pe_3) are writing to the nations, and they will probably do many things towards their idols to their food. What is distinct is when the food is offered to Zeus (not thanking Zeus for it or raising it up or giving it to it)
Difference between each man praying to their deity (usually when their done mr man picks up his plate and goes get salt or something ad looks out the window) vs. “Let’s offer up food to our god” (“we’re all going to do this now and have this meal and celebrate the birth of Christ”)
Summary- If the following is communicated, “Everyone doing this-participating in eating- is playing a part in what we’re doing spiritually”, then it is bad.
As long as you’re not amening or bowing your head and participating towards their god then you can be Jonah and pray to the right God on your own terms and time
Fasting
The only “fasting” some
fleshly sinners (flesh balls) do is 8 hours of sleep every night. And then he
has to quickly get up and eat breakFAST lest he
collapse back in bed from such "self-denial".

that you have to be breathing at the same time as you're eating.
Eating by default is
supposed to be an activity of repose not an activity of Rush and disregard of
the quality of the good you are taking in
You should be taking longer
to relish everything full more so of nourishment you are being mercifully and
generously granted
You should be chewing your
food more so that you get more benefit out of the sacrificial goodness that has
been given to you
You should be taking your
time to eat so that you actually know how much you really need to eat and don't
just continue hastily and mindlessly rushing into cramming more food that you
don't even get the nourishment from because it's not even being chewed up
enough sufficiently.
Eating a meal in haste is
an explicit exception to the rule in which case the taste and quality of the
food is the prioritized for the sake of brevity, serious weightiness, and
urgent focusness
Basic Reasons For Fasting
Offending The Flesh Is Exciting!
It does society good for someone to periodically offend hotheaded liberal pagans (example: when open air preaching)
In this same way also, you should love that healthy feeling of hunger, especially as you get to gloat at the misery of the flesh
Defeating The Flesh Is Also Mandatory
The question is not, “are we free to eat something?”
Instead, the question is rather, “are we free to not eat something?”
Fasting is how you defeat all kinds of uncontrollable compulsions
Fasting helps to break all love and emotional need for food.
I learned to not need chocolate by fasting
Corinthians: food for
the stomach and the stomach for food…
>> “all things are lawful” especially indicates a boasting that “all foods are lawful” in an attempt to import pagan teaching to “Christian liberty”
Paul: Oh how wise you
are… surely wisdom will die with you!
How Extended Fasts Can Make Idolatrous Food “Boring”
After 1 to 3 days of fasting, it still usually feels very exciting when you get to end the fast.
After seven days of fasting, it can be very unexciting (anticlimactic) when you finally get to end it and eat.
This un-excitement for food can be how a long fast ends, and this achievement of un-excitement for food can stay with you after that experience.
After prolonged fasting you finally learn that the climax of fasting is not when you finally get to end it and eat, but when you remember to rev-up your faith right before the finish line.
When you finally agree with God about how He feels about fasting, and the joyful opportunity of hating the flesh, then you triumphantly get to gloat over your demonic enemies.
(think: how Al gets so happy at absolutely overthrowing and contradicting and mocking the flesh)
Jesus Teaches Us To Minimize Our Own Sacrifice, And To Celebrate A Contradiction Of The Flesh Instead
Jesus shows us that we are not only expected the fast, but we are expected to do it happily!
This is part of the revenge on the flesh: not only do you wage war on its pleasures, but you smile and anoint your head while you do it!
You make a great sacrifice, and you make a great effort to not be impressed with your own sacrifice.
You are expected to fast willingly, and regularly, and to rejoice in it in the meantime.
You Should Like The Healthy Feeling Of Being Hungry
- this is part of anointing your head
- this is part of no one noting when you are fasting
- you should be ambitious to achieve emotional stamina when fasting
- if possible: it is often good to even achieve physiological stamina when fasting
- anointing your head means you are doing everything you can to act normal when fasting
- the goal is: no one else should be able to know, and you should not even notice it yourself (esp. in the way you interact socially)
- when extended fasting hurts increasingly as the days go by, and you may have to set aside time for it,
- do everything within your strength, and even beyond your strength, to reave up pure faith and joyfully defiant zeal – remember: now is your chance to shine
- make yourself an enemy of the flesh, and a friend of God
Types and Times of Fasting
This is the beginning of some notes
Isa_58:1 - Standard, Typical, literal, physical fast is for one day, no food, but only water
Est_4:16 – There is no eating during each night of a fast; one day of fasting really is one whole day (24 hrs), or multiple 24hr days.
Mat_4:1 - extended fast
Dan_ - Daniel Fast: eat no pleasant food, when you want to fast, but you need to keep working
Isa_58:1 - True Fast: be spiritual and not just physical
Be supernaturally lead as to when to fast: This type come out only by prayer and fasting
Waterless
Fast – Special, Extreme, Intense morning
Note: max = 3 days, unless it’s supernatural
The Word “fast” directly means to ‘not eat.’ This is very clearly confirmed in many places, including Jesus’ wilderness passages where it says, ‘he did not eat anything in those days.’ It is clear (as some say) ‘fasting does not mean thirsting,’ it means just what it says: “fasting” – not eating. The word “fast” is never used to inherently include waterlessness.
However, there are a few time in particular where a ‘Waterless Fast,’ is specified.
Exo_34:28 WEB He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Exo_34:28 LB And Moses was there before the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread, and he did not drink water; and He wrote upon the tablets these words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

We see that Judith kept fasting distinct and
separated from the commanded times of celebration, as the law had commanded.
What is it when you fasted was it for Me? (Isa_58:1)
You are not to be on island.

Your eating habits are to be regulated by the
community God has assigned you to.
Don't say "I fasted for God" if you
ignored the community He bound you to.
One of the biggest hindrances to fasting in faith
is spasmatic, whimsical fasting
Individualism is not the Biblical model for
fasting, or living in general (which should include fasting).
We are not to individually plan eating gatherings,
nor are we to impose individual fasting over corpretly
planed celebrations.

Don't Consume Exhaust
11/1/21; 4/5/25
-- Under Construction --
car exhaust is one of the most nasty experiences to breathe
in.
you would have to be really twisted and perverted to enjoy the
destructive and unhealthy experience.
some people are perverted and wicked to the degree that they
actually enjoy nasty evil destructive experiences.
smoke of a fire is the exhaust of something that is helpful.
Even inhaling a little bit of
smoke is destructive and unhealthy and should be avoided if possible.
it would take someone really wicked and twisted to enjoy the
nasty destructive experience.
some people are so and phone towards demonic involvement and
perverted lust if they actually enjoy the destructive experience that is
unhealthy for them.
food is a good thing, but it's exhaust from the human body has
been clearly marked out as being off limits by the creator.
The Creator has clearly
indicated to us to minimize our involvement with solid waste
from the body because it can cause so many hearts and diseases and is utterly
nasty and the testable to do otherwise.
The Bible very clearly
marks out for us how to deal with the solid waste from the human body in
Deuteronomy 23.
being irreverent toward the solid waste/exhaust of the human
body is strictly forbidden and would be a sin breaking God's law that could
earn you hell because it is UNHOLY.
with car exhaust and with fire in general that produces smoke,
the creator has clearly shown us that such waste products from things that
should be useful are evil and wrong to enjoy.
The smoke from a fire, the
exhaust from something that was useful to consume, may not be as defiling as
the solid waste from the human body after it has consumed something that should
be useful, but it bears the same function and indicates the same boundary of
destructive unhealthiness if ingested.
the Bible explicitly condemns destructive lusts. not only is smoke observably destructive, but the Bible
itself describes smoke this way as well.
so, if the Bible condemns destructive lusts and we can both
see the destruction of lusts with our very own eyes as well as read about it in
divine inspiration we are without excuse to excuse smoking as though it won't
send you the hell.
smoking is not obscurely destructive but it is clearly destructive
and it is not only a lust it is an addictive lust.
smoking is not a little destructive it is very destructive. smoking is not a little lust it is a full-blown addiction.
Smoking is not an unclear
issue. it is clearly marked out, as a "case in
point" example of destructive lusts.
you will not only go to hell if you indulge in it, but also if
you pretend that the Bible doesn't condemn it. it is clear
you will go to hell if you approve of those who practice it.
if you pretend like it won't send you to hell then we all
know that you are going to hell.
The Bible strongly
reinforces this by always describing smoke as a destructive thing, as is the case
of the smoke of God's wrath.
/\
this is why you have to be careful even about a little smoke
from a fireplace not to mention an intentional perversion of hatred against God
by smoking a cigarette...
"Study Confirms There
Is No Safe Level of Smoking"
https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/study-confirms-there-is-no-safe-level-of-smoking.html
11/1/21
Even the incense offered to
God in the Bible has to be used with caution lest it be a
destruction to humans...
isn't it remarkable that even biblical smoke can still be
dangerous to humans?
this is probably one of the many reasons why the Tabernacle is
thought to have been about 15 ft high which could
have the benefit of letting the smoke arise before God in his house as opposed
to humans consuming it for themselves.
after all, is there anywhere in the Bible that even encourages
or suggests the use of incense for human consumption?
it might be indirectly inferred but would such little
information we ought to still be careful at the very least if we do even use
incense since we now have indication that even this is dangerous for humans.
of course, no amount of smoke is dangerous for God who is a
burning fire himself and therefore he is fit to consume burnt offerings and be
pleased with a smoke from them not to mention the sweetness of incense.
humans, on the other hand, are a different story.
Proverbs 27:20? - hell and destruction are never full in such a way also the
eyes of a man are never satisfied
we see those things that are destructive like hell are
associated with going to hell like looking lustfully.
smoking goes out right to imitate the destruction of hell and
there is no question left that those who practice this destruction on Earth
will likewise inherit it for eternity.
well behaved people are intensely repelled at the thought of
consuming destructive nasty smoke. overtly evil people
with an unusual unnatural lust for dirtiness and hatred and perversion lean
toward those destructive lusts that send them to hell.
Don't be deceived and don't
play games. We all know that destructive lusts like smoking send you straight
to hell.
Smoking is a Vanity Lust
5/14/21
-- Under Construction --
if you were to eat toward your needs, that is not inherently
sinful
if you were able to
determine that some perceived food was actually not healthy for you and you
still ate it, even though it did not contribute toward your health but actually
contributed toward unhealthiness and damage, that would be conscientious vanity
and lust and sin, and it would be evil in the same sense as smoking
Even if you use new
technology vaping and it does not actually contribute toward a real need,
emptiness and vanity are the essence of the devil's plan for your life.
The curse of sin fills a
person's mouth with gravel.
In the Bible, God may
punish certain people with shame, but if indeed
humanity becomes so maddened that it chooses shame then not only will God give
you more shame than you were counting on but he will actually vomit you out of
his universe for being so repulsive...
similarly, God will punish
people with unhealthiness and plagues and sickness in some cases, but if you
choose damage then you have gone so far outside of the order of good behavior
that you're outrageous behavior will be your unbearable wrath.
choosing the shame of
emptiness shows that you hate the God of all honor and glory and value, and you
love the rottenness of the evil one, which is the word destruction and is related
to the concept of being a child of hell in the Bible, because you are one who
loves to be deceived into doing things that are worthless empty vein and even
unhealthy and harmful.
it's bad enough to accidentally do something that does not
contribute towards your well-being, but that can be circumstantial and is an
issue of lack of knowledge and has no moral bearing in most cases.
but to choose vanity is to choose the devil.
to choose vanity means to choose deception lies untruth
perversion and filthiness.
a person themself does not
naturally choose to destroy their flesh, but only through spiritual deception
does self-destruction occur.
and if you rejoice in deception and do things that are
contrary to human nature by filling yourself with gravel, and even with things
that impact you in a negative way, you are rejoicing in the spirits that are
pulling you outside of the nature that God created humans to walk in
...
vanity means emptiness, and in other cases with other words it
means worthlessness.
The Bible is very clear
that you will go straight to hell if you give your life to worthless and empty
vanity.
You can be as complacent as
you want but the Bible still incriminates you as a hater of
God by giving yourself to useless empty vanity.
You can say that God is
probably so busy in heaven concerning himself with
more important things so as to worry about a little human on the earth who
wastes their time with emptiness and vain entertainment.
but even if you allow that madness temporarily, you are not so
busy on earth so as to not need to concern yourself with avoiding being an evil
pervert worshiping the devil on their way to a very just and deserved hell
fire!

We are mostly aiming to confront the heresies that try to willfully justify sin that we all know is wrong.
We are doing this to faithfully and thoroughly condemn the heretics in public light, so that all who see and hear may fear their nauseating cancer, and recoil to the sanity of *refraining from sin* that reverence uses to save us.
Popular pagan christian heretics who smoked have abounded well beyond sanity throughout the recent history of protestant christendom, including, Charles Spurgen (one of the most lawless and successful apostates), CS Lewis (which none of us should be caught dead enjoying), and the likes of Emergent church perverts, who wish to normalize every perversion and defilement possible (from smoking to cursing, and everything else beyond these things that is dirty which they can hallow and praise).
Smoking is sinful because...
It is bad for your body, which is negative enough of a reason to avoid it in the first place (and You know it is bad for you)
But to make matters worse, *smoking is addictive*, and it is an overt irreverence and shameful lust to defy God who made you, by dabbling in a dirty lust that rages against His own healthiness, which should instead shine over your frame and anoint your forehead to do what is right.
Destructiveness (hatred of God's icon) with Addiction (lust slavery) piled on top of it, makes things like smoking a "destructive lust" which God passionately hates. This is the willful practice of hot-headed pagans with seared consciences that rage against the love and kindness of God in order to damage what God loves and fully establish themselves in willful evil.
Smoking and other such crimes are unhealthy pleasures that go outside of the normal eating which God assigned to mankind, and they defiantly mock the food that God ordained for heath, goodness, and lawful rejoicing. And even though the kind gift of food mutually pleases man and satisfies God, they replace it with a thing that never passed the scope of God's creation, so that a man sets aside even the thing that easily allows him to partake in a "man pleasing God" posture, and instead he indulges in a vain and maddening pleasure that rages against his own life, so that he is even willing to endanger his future health for a quick and dirty lust, preferring to rather protect and sanction his right to evil slavery rather than using the thing that is right at hand that is good.
which is easily used to please God!
Destructive lusts...
All addiction is wrong
cannot serve two masters...
I will not be mastered by anything... Flee lusts...
God made man in His icon (representative image), and females partake of this important essence by extension, in as much as their body pertains to man's body, and is a sub-part of it.
God said, don't destroy the icon!
Whether it is suicide or smoking, murder is no less murder if you murder yourself.
Destroying God's icon is absolutely forbidden! How much worse if you take joy in what God hates, even if it destroys you in the process! Are you so committed to hating God, that you are willing to love a sin so much, that you will even side with it when God seeks your good and it seeks to kill you?
Various Appeals
The Appeal to What We already Know
I am NOT proving anything
by this statement yet, but I am appealing to your conscious (where ever there
is any left that is not seared) and this is the method of the Bible: We already
know that it is wrong.
Doesn’t nature itself
teach you…
Let him who is
spiritual acknowledge…
We are not going
through this because people do not know that it is wrong, but we are mostly
going over all of this because wicked and lawless people have always tried to
deny the most obvious boundaries of righteousness. There will never be a time
in this age when we will not have perverted anarchists (lawless antichrist
supporters) who’s “conscious is seared” who will always try to push for finding
any and every way possibly to change light for darknesws,
and sweet for bitter. God says to such wicked people: ‘Woe to you’
Repent of
irrationality foolishness, blindness, lawlessness, fleshly hatred for honor
dignity truth.
Smoking is about
defending a life style of indulgence so I can do whatever sins I want to and
still say that I am going to heaven. If you had already taken up your cross and
shunned the life of pleasure and indulgence that markes
the prostitute and you were already loving to live a stringent life where you
flee every chance for youthful lusts, then smoking would have never been an issue
for you.
But because people
always come up who promote lawlessness and find every way to always be
indulgent, we must defend truth and make our league with God sure so that we
can condemn the agents of the anti-Christ and catch them before they kill us.
I warn all: the
acceptance of smoking in churches is directly related to the ushering in of
Anti-Christ. If the Anti-Christ factor
were removed from our mist, then the smlking issue
would easily and quickly disappear right along with it.
Compared with Eating
Some will say, "Smoking is not
any different from how we all over eat" – First we assume that we all live
in sin like this, and that is not true. We do not all overeat. There is a such thing as real Christians.
The second problem is that we asswumed that common sins cannot not send us to hell, as
though we ourselves were the standard of whatr it
means to be called a christian.
But this is rebellion: 'though hand joined in hand':
Filthy pagans always use this
technique:
(1) Assume we are all living in sin
(2) Use that as lawless
manipulation, assuming we would not dare believe a theology that condemned
everyone, especially ourselves and our favorit pagan
religious leaders.
(3) This is appealing to sin that the
speaker thinks we are all not willing to let go of, in order to appeal and call
on our loyalty to ourselves to establish our divide away from the Absolute truth of the Scriptures.
In one sense, in terms of the
nature of the type of crime it may not be, but in terms of the
willingness of the crime and crossing a clear boundery,
it is not the same: It is one thing to accedentally
over eat, or to eat the wrong thing, but these are errors of indugence within doing what we are supposed to do – eating.
Smoking is when we go outside of what we were even made for to indulge in
something that is clearly never what we were made for,
it is not ever good for us in any amount.
Eating, drinking or smoking
anything to sooth your mind and adjust the problems of your soul is evil
idolatry. This is the Majority point of smoking. Anything to stimulate, excite,
inspire, motivate, inflame, or “buzz” your mind with chemicals is witchcraft,
because we are to fight for a sound mind and to have self-control. If Coffee or
cigarettes wakes you up in the morning then they are your God.
Even the proper use of wine is to
gladden the heart (for celebrations), not intoxicate the mind. Keep well below
limits of altering the mind.
Fueling with nutrients: Good
Stimulating with Chemicals: Bad
Show me what motivates you… Show me
what wakes you up in the morning and I will show you what you look to as your
god and savoir.
Addiction
some will say, "If you are
going to say that addiction makes smoking wrong then you would have to say that
for people to drink coffie is wrong too" – But
that is the piont: Coffie
is wrong whenever it is consumed addictivly, just as alchohal and anything else we may consume. – Again, we have
assumed that because so many people do it, it cannot make us not a christian or go to hell or somthing.
The difference with smoking is that
in its very nature it is willfully designed to addict us. Do you really think
that there is a single cigaret company that does not
want you to keep buying their cigarets? The entire product
is designed this way!
Coffie can certainly be consumed in a non-addictive way, but since we do
not usually do this, we usually have no right to keep drinking coffie either.
The pagan answer to lust is always:
I can handle it
The Christian answer to Lust is
always: Flee
Modesty is not about whether or not
others are tempted, but about the saved management of your body in Biblical
honor
Fleeing is not about whether or not
you can handle it, but about obeying the Bible. We all think that we can handle
it, and it is in light of this foolishness that the Bible says to flee. People
who can handle temptation are those who have already fleed
from it in their hearts and naturally run from it in the flesh. Fools think
they can avoid sin inside, are proven fools by not fleeing it on the outside.
They show plainly that they have already failed misably
on the inside because they have not hated sin to the point of ohysically feeing as soon as it comes near them.
From The Parable Aspect
Origens are not everything, but in this case it tells something. Even its
physical aspect is filthy putting filth in your lungs, and this parable/
physical side of it is because it was originated by witch craft to induce
spiritual experiences. The filthy witches and sorcerers used a physically
filthy means of bringing on spiritually filthy experiences, and now they have
convinced many in our society to repeat their pattern:
Drugg users... and such like
And when
you say, "But there is not a Bible verse saying don' smoke." By saying "such like" Paul's
wisdom has condemned everything like his list and has cut off your lame exuse ahead of time.
God’s Solemn Testimony
God Testifys
against everyone that smokes. If you are spirutual at
all to actually hear God voice, you already know this. "If anyone thinks
he is a prophet or spiritual, let him acknoladge that
the things I write are the commands of the Lord"
- Yes i
do challenge and confron your favorite preachers and
teachers that it is clear that they are not spiritual and don't hear God's
voice if they do not bear witness with God's clear voice

Smoking is
Dirty (it is obvious that humans were never designed to inhail smoke!)
Destructive
Of pagan spiritual origin
Lustful
--
Some will say that other foods are unhealthy too
First, smoking is not a food, but an inhumane practice introduced
by sorcerers. You cannot sancify eating dirt.
But even so, yes, gluttony will send a person to hell, and any addictive
eating. But evil and fleshly people always try to ignore the difference between
doing something accidentally and doing it willfully.
Gluttony can be a sin one is accidentally ensnared in while going
about the practice which God assigned him to- eating.
Smoking is when a person steps outside of what God has ordained
for humans and goes out of his way to indulge in a lust that meets absolutely
no real need.
But it would be better for me to have repented of murder and find
myself with God, than to willfully continue in sin by stealing a penny every
day of my life.
Willfully continuing in lust that is not even within the design of
God is not the same thing as accedentally slipping
into sin while going about the business God has assigned.
Any continued lust will condemn a person. How much hotter hatred
will they inherit who have done it willfully.
"But Smoking Relaxes me and Makes Me Feel Better!"
Some will say that smoking relaxes the mind and sooths the body,
but that is an absurd and rediculous, mindless excuss to defend this lustful indulgence! Fornication
relaxes the body and comforts the heart *but it is still evil*, as she says:
Come let us solace ourselves with loves...
But it is irrelevant whether destructive lust comforts, the
scripture still says,
The body was not made for prostitution
And even in this passage in Proverbs he says,
He lacks understanding... He destroys his own soul...
We see that the addictive lusts that the body was not made for
destroy both the body and the soul. And you think your soul is going to go to
heaven after living in such malice?
Your evil, lustful comforts are the very thing that will damn you
at judgment, and you want to use them as evidence that it is good???? You exasperate
the patience of the righteous! Your flesh will be eaten alive for your
irrational foolishness!
You boast that it comforts your weary mind (oh Spurgen)
but if your heart or mind were righteous you would be gripped and painfully
troubled and your soul would be in tribulation to even think of willingly
partaking of something introduced by witches for the lustful destruction of
your body!
Real disciples have always harshly and fervently shunned trite frivelless pleasures and entertainments, and obviously,
destructive lusts are an anathema to anyone with a mind left in them, who takes
up their cross, and denies themself, and seeks God in
weakness and prayer at all times for motivation to continue to live and is
continually desperate need of the comfort of righteousness. Such a person
cannot even thing of lustfully stuffing dirt in their mouths and claiming God
as the maker and provider of their comfort!
It is irrelevant if destructive lust
Comforts your heart, IT IS STILL EVIL. The
fact that evil makes you temporarily feel better is not proof that it is good
(oh mindless animal!) but it is clear that such things are evil that make us
feel better and destroy us at the same time.
--
If it is destructive (unhealthy) and addictive, then you can be
sure it is pure sin to indulge in it. There is not one degree
which God has approved of man destroying himself in such lust.
Addictive plus destructive equals lustful sin to indulge.
It is against the faithful maintenance of the frame of your body
and it is for the evil of indulgence.
There is not one bit in which smoking is healthy or helpful to
your body.
"no man ever hatted his flesh"
Which is why is requires something demonic involved to do things that destroy it... Esecially
when it inflames the evil of your heart to also be addictive and indulgent in
the process.
The prince of evil would like nothing better than to harm the
representation of God on the earth and to make him take lustful pleasure in the
process of doing it.
If it was something you did not choose or take pleasure in, such
as smog and pollutants which are unhealthy for the body, then this would be
nothing for you morally. But if you choose to go sniff or inhale something that
is evil against the health of your body, then it is clear that it is sin for
you to go stick your face in the ventilation pipe of a smog stack of some big
company so that you can inhale the pollutants and please your lust while
partaking in the destruction of your body.
This is like it says,
Diving with them headlong into the same flood of dissipation
Using Tobacco is no different than the irresponsible and perverted
evil of sticking your face in a smog stack to inhale pollution. God made every
person to be responsible to protect their body, but it is the constant
occupation of demons to go about and provoke people to be occupied in
destructive sins.
The body was not made for prostitution, but for the Lord
And it is the pagan that says
Food for the stomach and the stomach for foods
not only will God destroy such wicked
stomachs, but to defend smoking is like trying to sancify
eating dirt. The only difference is that smoking is a lustful addictive
pleasure contrary to the creation of God.
Using tobacco is a destructive, addictive, lustful indulgence.
Using addictive chemicals to please yourself into a
happy state is the same essence as fornication and every other perverted,
satanic, pagan, crime of indulgence. That is why witches and pagan sorcerers
introduced such destructive addictive lusts to mankind by sorcerers and
witches, and pagan spirtists.
In every form, Satan worshipers can dive headlong in destructive,
addictive lusts and still do well in connecting to the spiritual realm. Sin
never hinders their sinful pursuit of spiritual things. But real disciples live
off of denying themselves and cannot rejoice unless they are completely free
from every vice of foolish and lawless indulgence. They are so far from every
such perverted lust that they go about morning until every chain is broken and every addictiveness is shunned before they have any
happiness or feel any success in this life.
For Those who will Note Repent
As for those who will not repent, go to your witches, you native American sorcerers. Go find your own plaeasure in sin and the predictable foolish and hurtful
lusts of demonically twisted flesh.
Go find your friendship and comfort in evil and you will ask
yourself if such mindlessness is truly comforting when you find yourself
tormented with the just wages of fool-hearty indulgence. Your body was harmed
by your evil lust and your soul is damned because of your irreverent pleasure in
dirtiness.
You will be anathema on earth and damnation in hell if you live
with the arrogance of finding your own evil pleasures and comforts in this
life.
Your damnation is just if you refuse to repent. Heed such warnings
then, and do not find yourself with those who have diven
headlong in the same lust of destruction.

Why is it wrong?
-
Comes from Demonic Practices
-
It’s wrong in society’s eyes
-
It is destructive to your body
-
It’s going toward Addiction, not
fleeing lust
Smoking is a practice of the nations
which is contrary to nature, but totally in accord with witchcraft. It will
never happen naturally that you would want to put smoke in your lungs, but it
must be induced as an executable thought by evil, that you should put something
totally non edible and destructive in your body, as though it were food, so
that satan may rejoice at the destruction and
degradation of the image of God.
Even pagans of Bible times said
"Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food."
Else ware, God said He made meets to
be received with thanks giving. He never said that about dirt, and it took
witches to say that about smoke.
The heart of a sinner and adulterer
says, "I am free to do whatever I find that I want to do, as long as God
has not explicitly forbidden it" but the virtue and Love of a saint says
"I'm only free to do what God has explicitly told me I can do."
Comes from Demonic Practices
“…It
can also be done as a part of religious rituals, to induce trances and
spiritual enlightenment.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking
Smoking has been practiced in one form or another since ancient times. Tobacco and various hallucinogenic drugs were smoked all over the Americas as early as 5000 BC in shamanistic rituals.[3] Many ancient civilizations, such as the Babylonians, Indians and Chinese, burnt incense as a part of religious rituals, as did the Israelites and the later Catholic and Orthodox Christian churches. In Ancient Greece, smoke was used as healing practice and the Oracle of Delphi made prophecies while intoxicated by inhaling natural gases from a natural bore hole. The Greek historian Herodotos also wrote that the Scythians used cannabis for ritual purposes and, to some degree, pleasure. He describes how Scythians burned hemp seed:
“ At once it begins to smoke, giving off a vapour unsurpassed by any vapour-bath one could find in Greece. The Scythians enjoy it so much that they howl with pleasure.[4]”
Smoking in the Americas probably had its origins in the incense-burning ceremonies of shamans but was later adopted for pleasure or as a social tool.[5] The Maya employed it in classical times (at least from the 10th century) and the Aztecs included it in their mythology. The Aztec goddess Cihuacoahuatl had a body consisting of tobacco and the priests that performed human sacrifices wore tobacco gourds as symbols of divinity. Even today certain Tzeltal Maya sacrifice 13 calabashes of tobacco at New Year.[6] The smoking of tobacco and various other hallucinogenic drugs was used to achieve trances and to come into contact with the spirit world.
…Tabwa shamans smoke lubowe (Amaranthus dubius), a plant that is said to aid in the shamans in seeing invisible spirit sorcerer, even though there are no reports of the substance being hallucinogenic.

Here is an obvious point: If doing things that someone can blame, then you’re not being blameless as the Bible commands.
Addiction
We all know that this
is true:
“Most drugs that are
smoked are considered to be addictive.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking
Flee youthful lusts
I will not be
mastered by anything
Addiction to any food
is wrong
Destructive to the Body
Many people try to
disarm this point by saying that other habits are more destructive such as
eating unhealthy food.
But they fail to
realize that any food abused condemns a person
Inhaling smoke into the lungs, no matter the
substance, has adverse effects on one's health. The incomplete combustion
produced by burning plant material, like tobacco or cannabis, produces carbon
monoxide, which impairs the ability of blood to carry oxygen when inhaled into
the lungs. There are several other toxic compounds in tobacco that constitute
serious health hazards to long-term smokers from a whole range of causes; lung
cancer, heart attacks, strokes, impotence, low birth weight of infants born by
smoking mothers.
…In the United States some 500,000 deaths per
year are attributed to smoking and a recent study estimated that as much as 1/3
of China's male population will suffer shortened life-spans due to smoking.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking
Myths of it Not being in the Bible
“The Bible does not say you should not smoke”
It was only until recently that people have realized that smoking could be bad
By the 1600s smoking had affected every major civilization, and many rulers have tried to stop it throughout the ages.
People think that Christianity did not know that it was wrong until more recently in the US, but this is vastly wrong. The compromised churches could have easily integrated it without conviction, but all real Christians have consistently stood against it.
As far as more serious churches (even if they were not really saved): Holiness churches have held it was wrong even when the culture did not. D.L. Moody is said to have snatched the smoker’s addiction right out of their mouth to show them how wrong it was.
“Ever since smoking was introduced outside of the Americas, there had been many vehement protests against it. Arguments had ranged from socio-economic ones…to purely moralistic ones, where many religiously devout individuals saw tobacco as merely another form of immoral intoxication.”

they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock. 14 Butter of
cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids,
with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape. 15 So Jacob ate and was filled, and the
beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the

God made the sun billowing out stagering amounts of energy every secont

without any cost.
He assigned that there would be a
price of work associated with many good things so that you would pause and
think and be thoughtful long enough to be thankful and realize and relish what
good is actually happening to you.
God makes you vulnerable and always
having needs from outside of yourself.
God gives many good things in incraments so that you will continually pause in reverence
and thank Him. He implaments costs on things that He
did not have to for your sake to not be evil.
