Help me out here…
My Mom is 76. She’s been smoking for 60 years. She met Christ year’s ago but never conquered smoking. Now she’s sure God will send her to hell for not quitting. I’ve told her this won’t send her to hell. “Are you trusting in Jesus to present you to the Father,” Mom? “Yes” is her reply. “Then look forward to seeing God when you die.” If I’m off here in my counsel to Mom let me know.
Secondly. Mom was just diagnosed with lung cancer two months ago. She has an operable tumor in one lung. She wants the operation. But the doctor will not operate until she quits smoking. She can’t quit. Breaks out in tears just thinking about it.
Why would a doctor insist she quit smoking before performing such an operation? What does her smoking have to do with the operation itself? Nothing that I can see. If they just want some indication from her that their work will be “worth” it, then I think they should shut up and do their job. They’ll get paid. If she wants to live just a little bit longer and still smoke, that’s her constitutional right.
Is there a doctor in the house?
