Is Smoking Marijuana A Sin? Christian Perspective!

not where i live so i dont need to stay away from it and since its legal it makes it not a sin

your body is the temple after you have truly been saved, and also, if you have questions be sure to ask a preacher that does not base his and others religion on "i think", " i believe" and such foolishness. those who oppose the gospel have a log in their eye and dont realize that sin destroys. so do not listen to them. be sure that your preacher backs everything with a bible verse. have fun and know that there is three steps to salvation. 1 is hide sin, which is where those heathens are. step 2 is to confess with your mouth out of utmost sincerity that you have sinned and deserve hell for what you have so foolishly done and asking as him into your heart and to change your heart. step 3 is to conquer the sins by asking jesus to help take care of them. be sure not to trade a "big sin" for a "small sin" by saying stuff like " oh well, atleast -- is better than -- because step three is way better. i am 16 and i have had trouble with masterbation since 3rd grade. i tried the "trade" idea by saying "oh well, atleast its better than sex." and i soon realized that if you lust over somone, then it equates to sexual immorality which equates to adultry. some may check their dictionary and think i am disproven but the dictionary and the bible have different deffinitions for some words. and i have came accross alcohol and weed. i have been drunk and have "blacked out" and did not like the experience. i thought i was in hell while i was "blacked out". i hated the hangover and it was 4th grade. i have tried weed and got stoned 3 times. from 6th - 8th. and i hated the experience. in 6th i commited adultry with another girl who although was not married, i felt heavy condemption. i think when in 5th, i admited my sinfull condition, but afterword continued t o sin. but now in 9th, i truly got saved merely 3 to 4 months ago. and the reason being was sin. i was having a biblical discussion with my friend and he told me that we must love while i disagreed. so i beted him that i would read the bible and prove him wrong. i was caught up in self righteousness and started reading and listening to the preacher on the radio, so i confessed withsincerely, and thus jesus is in me, i can sense wickedness likee a briar bush. and it turns out my friend wasnt saved and we are drifting appart. but many people say that god dont answer their prayers, well, first off you have to reach past step 2, and then, praying to fullfill a want is not a prayer. "please fix my xbox lord" wrong type of prayer

the LORD YOUR GOD is the master of all flesh, unless your riding a chariot. trying to run down Moses

you must pray for needs. god supports the needs of HIS CHILDREN! god is the alfa and the omega! he knows all secrets and all there is to know. i do not misuse his name by saying god d** and oh my f***in' god! he is notto blame for any sin. it is against his nature to sin. satan is the one to blame and the one who created evil. yes, god created satan but he knew what would happen before it happened. consiter that it is in human nature to sin and that is the reason god dont see us in visible person. we are fire and the lord our god is water. when you combine the two, the water puts the fire out. god wanta to give us a chance and many people abuse that chance. and god will take care of HIS CHILDREN'S needs. he dont care for those who plunge into darkness! he cares for men, and not little boys so to speak. and you must forgive to be forgivn." and what about dinosaurs from millions of years ago?" some may ask. but the bible gives details of the behemoth and the leviathan and the descriptions given were verry descriptive. and yes, some bibles have quotes to the side saying hipo, or crock. but check out the description for yourself. scientists carbondate, but they werent there to see the dinosaurs. and evolution is fone, god created us! the gospell shows you how to live, science at most suggests. those sinners, if you are saying "no one is perfect" then read what jesus said." we are to be perfect even as perfect as the heavenly father himself". and those of you christians, check your foundations and make sure yours is atop a rock so it does not fall when floods fill. christianity without morallity is an illusion. zcompare sin to dark and gods way (the only righteousness) to light!

written with love,
the wake up call

ps. love is the cure to hate

ps. love is the cure to hate

that is an "i believe" you must be carefull with such things. you must not do it if it is illeagle, remember, if you are in the united states, that is a dederal law and it would not be wise to risk it for weed. and if i need rest, i will not drink or smoke or shoot or swallow anything, i will remain complely sober and take a nap or kick back and watch tube or read the holy bible . and that event you speek of was authorized by jesus, you had better ask for his authority to do so. and, it was wine and not hard liquer or weed. if you dont read the bible much, its like falling asleep while running a chainsaw, verry foolish and might hinder your chance to live. i am not going to kill my brain cells over a temptation, we are to strive to be perfect in the sight of god, if you are in disbelief, then perhaps you should read or atleast try to lead more, my friend.

i meant federal law and read more. just trying to help

and also, it appeared to me that you were proud of your knowledge, pride is the verry thing that drew satan from god

the Teacher wants you to be nice to others and not a fool unto earthly authority

Matthew 15:11
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Yep.

In christian context, consuming cannabis is not a sin. Jesus and his disciples used large amount of cannabis on a daily basis.

quote
Jesus w as almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.
The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims.

"There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion," Carl Ruck, professor of classical mythology at Boston University said.

Referring to the existence of cannabis in anointing oils used in ceremonies, he added: "Obviously the easy availability and long-established tradition of cannabis in early Judaism _ would inevitably have included it in the [Christian] mixtures."

Mr Bennett suggests those anointed with the oils used by Jesus were "literally drenched in this potent mixture _ Although most modern people choose to smoke or eat pot, when its active ingredients are transferred into an oil-based carrier, it can also be absorbed through the skin".

Quoting the New Testament, Mr Bennett argues that Jesus anointed his disciples with the oil and encouraged them to do the same with other followers. This could have been responsible for healing eye and skin diseases referred to in the Gospels.

"If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil _ and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ," Mr Bennett concludes.

So you so called christians, beware of the judement day, you do not want to be anti-christ.

I was thinking about this the other day and yes i understand that god say not to use anything that can alter ur brain but God also told adam and eve to take from any SEED producing plant and pot does produse seeds and on top of that u think if it was a hard sin god would say to not take from the pot plant but no he says do not take from the apple tree so i dont really know what to do with this question and yes i am a christian

And to add on if u say well its illegal so was worshiping the lord god at one point but yet it was a law we could break and it would not be a sin

Could you point me to the part of the Gospels where Jesus talks about "missing the mark?" Because I can point you to the part where HE says, "It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him, but rather what comes out of his mouth." Mathew 15:11.

I believe from the bottom of my heart that Jesus used cannabis.

Genesis 1:29
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

i often strugle with this!...the lord knows!....but i read a verse in the bible that says....its not what a man puts in his mouth, that defileth him, it is what comes out of his mouth, that defileth him...in other words, what comes out your mouth are your words, and that is what defileth a man...because his words are a relection of his heart!....I hope this helps you.

fuck religion and all it's bullshit ..i smoke every day ..its nice to be free...

You should thank God.

It is not what goes into a mans mouth that defiles him but that what comes out....Dont exhale

i did not even bother reading your posts - the headline is all that is needed....in short ... no, smoking marijuana is not a sin ... ask a terminally ill patient needing weed for pain killer or gain appetite if it's a sing. geez, get real.

It makes no sence to make up sins.

Marijuana use is not a sin.

In fact, people who tell you this are insecure control freaks trying to limit your freedoms.

Now THAT is some truth for ya!

i found many statements in your post outright untrue. Sad!

First and foremost Jesus is My Savior, Thanks and Glory be to God. A Personal Relationship with Jesus is the only way to come to peace for Christians about this, and I seek and "in all thy ways acknowledge him" (Proverbs 3:6) about everything in my life good or evil. I don't know about your personal relationship with God Christians but I don't want to be left behind when the Son comes back for us. Our Lord does talk about herb and even bud being perfect for use in Isaiah 18:4-5 my favorite, but its all in the Old Testament we have a amazing New Testament and New Covenant now Thanks and Glory be to God. In Romans 12:1-3 Paul speaks about our responsibility of "thinking soberly" and "renewing of our mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Please read these 3 verses because they speak volumes to Christians who are serious about seeking God's perfect love and will for their life. This subject can only be answered by our Father, so please keep seeking and acknowledging him "and he shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:6), personally I have slowed down alot Thanks and Glory be to God.

Yes it is Self Harming and you cannot.

Water kill you faster Idiot!
