Dear Solace,
It is wonderful that you have a profound interest in Jesus' Favorite Church and you are willing to dwell deep in the True™ Doctrine. As I have stated previously, ignorance is not a big fault as it can be countered effectively with education, i.e., Bible study. You willingness to know is laudable, although I am not quite sure about your attitude. I may be wrong but it seems that your goal is to find a fault in our reasoning, to find contradictions; in contrast, your duty should be to find Jesus.
That said, I am happy to explain this issue to you. Our Statement of Faith does not endorse smoking and it promotes following secular law. This is all correct and had there been only a man smoking, this would have been straightforward. We would have prayed for him to quit and it would have happened. Secular law allows smoking but the Bible advises (sic!) against it:
John 2:21
But he spake of the temple of his body.
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
However, we have a complication. We have a woman who is not acting against circumstantial advice but against the very Command of Jesus. She is trying to make a MAN obey herself. This is unacceptable!
1 Corinthians 11:3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
This takes Spiritual precedence. Now we come to secular law. Verily, we are to obey:
Romans 13:4
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
If this man is convicted, we accept that as secular justice. However, we cannot be silenced about God's Will in the matter. We cannot stop fighting for the authorities to discard non-Biblical laws in favor of Jesus and God. That is why you also should vote for the Trump to ensure that Biblical Law is once again reinstated as is being done in Russia.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

...equally obliged to attempt to change ungodly laws in cooperation with the Republican Political Party that is appointed by God.
