Is Smoking Marijuana A Sin? Christian Perspective!

God loves you. He designed you to be the wonderful, unique person you are. He wants you to get to know Him. I don't blame you for being skeptical of modern-day Christianity. Much of it is BS. But take the time to learn the authentic teachings of Jesus - at least then you can make an educated decision about whether or not to follow Him.

if it is a sin will that stop you? god isn't going to make you burn and suffer for eternity

for smoking a plant. nor will "jesus" return from the dead as a zombie to smite the pot smokers. so I'd say you're pretty safe OP and this is a retarded question IMHO

i agree with this guy..your not killing or hating on anyone. i think god loves you no matter what but, smoking weed isnt a big deal ..god put it here for a reason..to make us chill out and medical purposes

but i just dont know why it would be something we would have to stay away from

Because it's against the law.

oh wait i chewed gum in singapore - sinner........
i chewed gum in australia - jesuslike temple body.

my face is in my palm........

I think that you really know the answer to this question, but I will give you the short and long version.

1. Short version. Yes, smoking marijuana is a sin. The definition of "sin" is "missing the mark". Using any mild-altering substance (alcohol, pot, any other non-prescribed medication) is altering your brain chemistry and by definition "a sin".


2. Long version. Why is altering my brain chemistry missing the mark? Doing anything that harms your body is missing the mark. Your body is the temple of Christ.

When did my body become the temple of Christ?
Under the old testament, animals were sacrificed for mankind's "missing the mark or sin". People brought animals to the temple and the priest went into the "holy of holies" and sacrificed these animals to God so that mankind could be forgiven. (OLD TESTAMENT WAY)

Under the new testament, Christ did away with the sacrifice process and BECAME our eternal sacrifice, for our past sins, our present sins and our future sins. So we went from having animal sacrifice to Christ being our eternal sacrifice. (that is why he had to die on the cross).

Now, since we don't sacrifice animals anymore, Christ also did away with the idea that we had to go to the holy of holies temples and pray through a priest. With Christ, our body now BECOMES the temple and Christ lives IN us. So because Christ is now residing IN us -- we have to keep the temple as clean as possible. Christ also did away with the idea that we have to pray through priests -- now we have a direct line from our prayer directly to God through Christ -- not through priests.

So -- the reason you cannot smoke pot, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, or anything else detrimental to your health is because your body, once you accept Christ as your savior, now becomes a holy temple and should not be defiled.

Having said all that -- I think you already knew this answer but you wanted to see it in print.

Here is your sign.

In love.

even if Marijuana is something that is worshipped (i disagree) at least its something real that you can see, touch, and something you can become one with.

Marijuana is the idol your worshiping. I had the same question and prayed that the Lord Jesus Christ would reveal his truth to me about this plant. I was directed to this verse

Romans 1:25

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen

Everything is a sin from a Christian perspective.

The only plant god forbade was the tree of life.
