Wrong For Christians To Work Here? by Esedendo(m): 7:34pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
I am a christian bt may not be very spiritual. I decided to raise dis topic, hopin i wil get reasonable response. I drink alcohol once in a blue moon but dont smoke. I remember in my former church in sunday school class, d pastor said dt its a sin to drink alcohol (agreed) nd to also smoke. Christians shud not sell alcohol/tobacco. He also said dt as a christian, it is also WRONG for u to work in companies dat produce alcohol/tobacco. My Question: 1. As a christian, is it actually wrong to work in tobacco/alcohol coys? 2. I know there're bible backins against alcohol, is there any against smokin? If yes pls i need d bible reference. Thanks, |

The first miracle of Christ was turning water into wine. Bible does not encourage drunkenness but I don't think that God forbids alcohol. The tobacco industry has provided employment and livelihood for millions directly and indirectly. Tobacco has killed so many as well. To your question, it is a matter of principle. Taxes, including VAT from tobacco and alcohol have provided revenue which government has used to build roads that your pastor drives on. I don't know if he rejects tithes from employees of these industries and those who run hotels where such are sold. Note: I drink but I don't smoke. I also find smokers friendlier. |

Christianity is fairly free. Why do you find a need for straitjackets? Are you a Deeper Lifer? |

Take up your cross and follow Jesus OR you're just not worthy. |
