Will Smokers Miss The Rapture?

Q

God Bless your web site! It is very insightful and I find myself reading your questions and answers very interesting.

I do have a question. I am a Christian and I have tired to quit smoking several times and can’t seem to get victory in this area. I know that the rapture is going to happen soon, will I miss it because I can’t seem to quit?

Also, does it say somewhere in prophecy that Palestinians will never Have a state? Thanks again

A

You were saved because of what you believe, not because of how you behave. While smoking is obviously bad for your physical health, and could be seen as a violation of Paul’s admonition to honor your body as the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19-20) there’s no justification for believing that it will endanger your participation in the Rapture.

There’s no prophecy that I know of specifically denying the Palestinians a state. But there is specific prophecy promising the land the Palestinians want to Israel. Amos 9:14-15 is an example.
