Is Smoking Marijuana A Sin? Christian Perspective!

Bible is a FEAR WEAPON!

Herb has been create since for more then thousand years ago, believe it or not.

It's not about your works, it's about your faith in Him. If our good deeds could get us into heaven, there would have been no need for Jesus to come and die for all the world's sins... Just work towards knowing Jesus, if weed helps you do that, partake, and do so in moderation.

Obviously, thinking for yourself is a Big sin in Christianity. THEY don't like it when you don't follow THEIR orders.

Another lost "christian." One of billions.

OP, go thy tiny ways to the source of the subject: The dead sea scrolls. There you will find that Jesus frowns upon intoxicants, but that you may cleanse yourself of all past sins by fasting for 7 days.

It's that simple.

Jesus is not coming to save you. Only YOU can save you. Jesus and others already left all the information you need. You just need to seek it out.

Seek and ye shall find?

Hemp is very useful, but smoking it makes you spiritually lazy.

Well said. The god of our politicians in D.C. is cocaine!

No, it's not. Ask any Rastafarian...it is considered to be "God's plant"...

The one thing we can be clear on...thanks to the Councils of Nicea...1, 2 and 3 and the Councils of Constantinople 1 and 2...we can rest assured that the book everyone holds with such high esteem had the hand of man all over it.

I am not saying that everything in the book is a lie...but there has been "creative editing" throughout the ages to draw down a pre-concluded response.

Anything that man has a hand in is more than likely corrupt...the plant is natural...for the most part.

Man made booze...God made weed....who do you trust?

Smoking herb doesn't make you lazy, it will guide you the third eye opening mind what is the truth =-)

Jesus forgive me if I'm wrong but bible speaks for its self it says it loud and clear nothing wrong with this plant at all if you don't smoke it your lost that simple argument over most people geting mad for what smoke some weed I bet can't nothing make you upset cases closed !!!

So by your definition drinking coffee is a sin due to the stimulants that caffeine releases thus altering your body...

I don't think this is a stupid thread as most Christians suffer from guilt and are conflicted about pot....ooh this feels good and therefore it must be a sin.... Nonsense... God created that plant to be used by us...it's man that made it a crime and therefore burdens many with guilt ( breaking the law...doing something illegal) etc etc and man made the laws to ban the weed because it is just that... A weed...it grows in the wild for free...anyone can grow it and if they did what need would many have for booze?

I assure you that if one could mix baking soda and water and create vodka...lthat vodka and baking soda too would be deemed evil and illegal....it's about business and control

Hi how are u I think I can answer your question on the topic is smoking weed a sin?? I read the bible n I thank The Lord did he did give me spiritual knowledge n understanding. Smoking weed is a sin it say it in revelation 9 : 21 they did not repent of their murders sorceries. Sorceries is a Greek word which is pharmakeia. Meanin by their enchantment with drugs or getting high on drugs

In any case OP, good on you for turning your life around at such an early age. I think if you want the answer you only need look into your heart, you already know it.All of us fall short in God's eyes according to the bible, but sort it out in your own time. You are an example to many.

In the meantime, do what you have to do.

This. The light of jah

Smoking weed is a venial sin,, of course God does not want you doing it, When you love God then God is enough, But weed becomes a mortal sin when you abuse it or give it to children,, bye

Where did you read that?

For it sounds like you have been reading Pope Innocent VIII.

Note for Catholics.
Bowing as to a divinity to created beings is a mortal sin!

When we grow

So be bold

GOD is great in love and power, and we have been created to love GOD above all things with our free will, because it is GOD WHO has given us all things to enjoy (in their right context) because we are infinitely loved by GOD, and even when we have been defective creatures (to say the least) with all the sin of humans going against their nature, we have not been destroyed, but we have seen the loving mercy of our LORD JESUSCHRIST

Everything that harms you or others is a sin, because it goes against the loving will of our CREATOR
marijuana, or any other toxic substance harms your body, and brings nothing good to us humans at all. all it can do for us is numb us, and make us forget about reality.
The negative effects are always death, like with any other sin. if you smoke marijuana, you will be killing your brain, and your lungs. you will also be putting your muscles in a uncomfortably relaxed situation. that is in a physical context. now in a spiritual context, marijuana or any other poison will destroy you. it will make you forget about our loving CREATOR, and it will keep you blinded from seeing how much we are always being blessed by our loving CREATOR, because the most any of us will get when we are sinning is Divine Correction from our LORD.

if people stopped accepting sin, and asked our LORD JESUSCHRIST to show them Truth with an open heart they would be able to see how GOD is real, and is always blessing us with what we need to be perfect humans. yes, we can be perfect, and all it takes is faith in our FATHER, so that we may never sin, but alway love. like our LORD JESUSCHRIST has loved us.

not superstition, nor brainwash at all. Christianity is more than just a religion. there is a GOD who has created all the universe because of love, and WHO, in GOD's divine love has not destroy all sin, but has patience for them to repent, but the time always come when if you do not reject sin, you always see the dead end.

our LORD JESUSCHRIST is more than an idol. HE is The Way to our CREATOR (where we should be), The Truth about human nature (how we should be), and The Light to guide us through the darkness that still has a hold on many humans, because they let it abuse their natural instincts and become slaves of it.

GOD's children (those who live how all humans should live) do not need any drug to feel at peace, get hungry, or even go to sleep. all we need is righteous prayer with faith in the infinite power of our GOD who has created all the stars in heaven, and everything on earth. we also need to love at all times, and reject all sin.

the prayer of a righteous heart is powerful, because GOD listens to all of us at all times, and answers when it is good for our hearts.

may you and all those around you always walk in the only peace, the peace of our LORD JESUSCHRIST

There is a mmj club in nor cal that has the greatest motto, " provided by god, protected by law"

Ezekiel 47:12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

Is smoking marijuana a sin?

“Neither the effeminate, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards...will possess the kingdom of God” (I Cor. 6:10). Drunkenness is a deliberate excess in the use of intoxicating drink or drugs to the point of forcibly depriving oneself of the use of reason for the sake of gratifying an inordinate desire for such drink and not for the sake of promoting health. This is contrary to the virtue of temperance, and specifically sobriety. Sobriety regulates man’s desire and use of intoxicants, and is vitally necessary for an upright moral life. The evil of intoxication lies in the violence committed against one’s nature by depriving it of the use of reason. He deprives himself of that which makes him specifically human - his ability to think. The drunk, or in this case the drug user, desires this loss of reason because of the feeling of liberation which accompanies it precisely from this lack of control of the will over the reason. It is unnatural, contrary to sleep, which also deprives one of the use of reason but in a natural manner.

Drug use gives an illicit means of escape. Besides being a sin, it also manifests an immaturity on the part of the user. Through an act of violence against himself, he escapes from the responsibility of decision making and control in his life. When this deprivation is complete, e.g., actions totally contrary to normal behavior, incapability of distinguishing between good and evil, etc., it is a grave sin. “In vino veritas,” said the Romans, not without reason. Any state short of complete drunkenness, without sufficient reason, is of itself venially sinful, but even in this case it may be a mortal sin if it causes scandal, injury to health, harm to one’s family, etc. It is important also to note that a man is responsible for all the sinful actions committed while intoxicated which he had, or ought to have, foreseen.

According to Jone-Adelman in Moral Theology, the use of drugs in small quantities and only occasionally is a venial sin if done without sufficient reason. This could be the case, for example, with sleeping pills. Obviously, deprivation of the use of reason through narcotics is to be judged as alcohol. The use of most drugs is complicated by the fact that they are illegal. This also signifies the will of the user to break the law, an offense against social justice. This compounds the sin. The speed with which a drug alters one’s consciousness also aggravates its use. This rapidity risks a greater potential to deprive oneself of the use of reason and thus to pass on to stronger intoxicants for increased effect. Therefore, adding to the violation of the virtue of justice, the grave scandal caused, the grave danger of addiction, and the stronger consciousness-altering ability of marijuana, it is difficult to excuse one of mortal sin. Moreover, experience tells us that its use is frequently an occasion of mortal sin, especially sins of the flesh and the use of narcotic drugs. But to willingly and knowingly place oneself in an unnecessary proximate occasion of mortal sin is to commit a mortal sin. Fr. James Doran, September 1993

I don't believe it is a sin unless it is done to the point where it effects your spirituality and your relationship with God. if on the other hand it can improve your relationship with God it could be considered a virtue.

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.

Ask mommy or daddy.
Ask your priest.
Ask some authority or expert.
Let them tell you what you should and shouldn't do.
Because obviously you are too timid to think for yourself!
Whatever you do don't try and work things out for yourself, you might hurt your head. ;)

If altering your brain chemistry is a sin
Then well coming on a conspiracy website calld Godlikeproductions would be a sin
For it's also a chemical that can take you places in your mind
Make you think different
Make you think of God Jesus Ufos Aliens People Love Peace Happiness
So in essence the man died for all our sins
So you could enjoy the world and basically explore you mind
But don't cross the streamers the line too much
Not to Dark not to Light but a streaming gray river where a purple spiral mixes in a ying a yang
Because the words written in the Book alter you for the same storie are in everything we do
We can tweak the brain we can tinker the brain
But don't Humpty Dumpty Break your Brain
Because it could be mind alter and a sin

let all things that give seed be fruit for man Gen1 29 ...Holy oil has weed or qanehbosm but translated to calamus is wrong...man banned weed not YAH.they burned the oil n were filled with the glory of God...ha

Not all dealers kill and arm themselves, that is a stereotype when it comes to drugs. It's an opinion not a fact. It's better to base your arguments on facts and not opinions because its not a valid argument

the bible says "do not get drunk" meaning, do nit let the substance take over your body and that is what pot dose. so yes it is a sin but jesus has already forgiven us for our sins

When someone asks is it a sin or give me a chapter and verse they are seeking license and do not understand the spirit of grace.

BTW the word Drunk in the Be not drunk with wine means to not intoxicate oneself because it interferes with the Spirit of God. Certain things were designed before the Comforter came for people to be able to mentally deal with life. Intoxication has never been for priests nor kings and therefore by our adoption not for the born again believer either.

I do not tell you these things to be a weight to you. I tell you these things to alert you to the deception of where your comfort is truly found. Not these fake substitutes of Substance but the Substance of the Living God named the Holy Spirit.

He is the essence of all mankind seeks through substances that intoxicate: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5:22-26

True freedom is found in God and His Spirit. There are many who promise liberty but only wish to enslave but don't be surprised by this. We were warned: For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. II Peter 2:18-22

So I beseech you dear brother that you consider the times and what manner of believer you ought to be as an ensample to an unbelieving world, was not your God able to provide you that peace, relaxation, joy etc you were seeking from a bottle or a toke? Did you give Him a chance?
