Can Christians Smoke?

There are quite a few “grey areas” that some Christians consider erroneous, but that others consider perfectly okay. I will define the term “grey area” as anything that the Bible does not specifically forbid, but that some Christians would consider wrong.

Here is a list of 10 “grey areas”:

1. Drinking small amounts of alcohol without getting drunk
2. Putting children in public school
3. Women teaching Biblical doctrine to women
4. Being “hooked” on caffeinated drinks
5. Smoking, but without being addicted
6. Using certain soaps, beauty products, or cosmetics
7. Watching movies or TV
8. Playing video games
9. Reading secular books or magazines
10. Coloring or highlighting your hair

With that in mind, here is what John MacArthur says about the grey areas:

I love to refer back to this article as I research and determine what the Bible teaches and where I will set my convictions.

I hope this will help you as well if you ever have a time of wondering what is okay and what isn't.

And I can't forget to add these two verses: "To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled." Titus 1:15 and "The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves." Romans 14:22 ESV
