Yes your body is a Temple, but your body is just a tiny part of your spiritual life. If you chose to smoke or have a beer, then do so. God wants to have a connection with you, not to judge you. Besides God put all the plants and animals in the world for us to use, including tobacco and everything beer and liquor is made from. Oh and don’t forget he did turn water into wine…

Hey Laura, thanks for sharing your opinions. I wish more people would be open to comment as it is only hearing many perspectives that we can truly know what is right.

In regards to your comments about smoking, I would agree that this act isn’t pleasing to God. I don’t smoke but I also am very weary of what I eat or how I treat my body as I do think it is a temple and a piece of art that reflects God. On the other hand, this article wasn’t written to myself but to people who are in process of making their lives right before God. We are all on that path in different points and therefore I believe it is my responsibility to encourage you wherever you are at.
Should I write as though my readers are in an ideal situation where they don’t have bad habits that will need to be worked out? I, personally, believe that it is my responsibility is to speak to a person in their current situation and then encourage them to continue in the journey. Maybe I am wrong, but I do not believe that I have the authority to tell a new believer or someone whom I don’t know where they are on in their journey to stop smoking. I believe that God will convict them when it is time and then it is our job to encourage them to quit. Would you agree?

In regards to your statement that “God is everything”, I found it somewhat surprising. Correct me if I am wrong because I can’t know the religious views of the visitors to this site, but I am assuming you are Christian? If so, then there is a real danger to say that God is everything, because it starts to assume a pantheistic belief. You can say that God is in everything in the way that a piece of an artist’s essence is in every work he creates, but it is wrong to say that God is literally in everything. If I kick a chair, am I kicking God? If God was in everything, then I would be.
I find that the best way to see it is that God created everything and just like an artist does, he left a piece of his own heart inside it all, but he doesn’t exist or reside in everything. He exists separate from the creation and if the creation was gone then God would still exist. On the other hand, his spirit still moves and can be felt within creation. Therefore, he is in creation at all times and everywhere. Does this make sense?
looking forward to your response, as good conversaiton is always nice

I was loving it till i saw things i don’t agree with.. like for example when your drinking a glass of beer?? i mean how can He enjoy that? thats not going by the Bible. “Go outside for a smoke?” thats the time to take to do a short prayer? i don’t think so. “I don’t mean it in the way that we are all God and God is everything” sorry to correct you on this but GOD IS EVERYTHING.. Don’t get me wrong it started lovely it was just disappointing to see this little details.. Blessings.
