Anonymous Coward User ID: 10355900 United States 03/08/2013 05:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now you are thinking for yourself. You knew the answer but you was looking for a bit of back up. The Bible is your back up. Do not let some fast talker tell you it is a sin just because some greedy Devil created a law saying it is. Man makes all kind of laws and every damn one of them is BS. We live in a Bullshit Three Ring Circus and our Creator is about to teach those assholes a lesson one way or another. They are starting to break. Quoting: Buford2 Read your bible and stop listening to anything on TV. TV is mind control programming. You should be able to see the people who still spout the BS they hear on TV or the Gov. Keep your nose clean and follow the Bible. The Bible is a guide but the truth is much deeper. The Catholic Church has revised our Bibles so much they only tell part of the story. Jesus will not be found in the church. Jesus is a light that you can receive if your open to it. Sounds like you are so please stop worrying about the BS media or their man made laws. Don't go around showing off your weed or do something stupid to draw attention to it. Weed is what brought me closer to Jesus. I was almost dead after ten years of man made poison from drug dealers in lab coats. I told Jesus to either let me die or heal me. Shortly after this prayer I started researching natural herbs for pain. Guess what I found. Took me four months to come off the EVIL Man made poison. I dropped nine scripts for one herb. Peace to you Tv is mind control so is Christianity you know who created Christianity the Romans did to keep people blinded the illuminati controls the church if you think weed is a sin there is something wrong and you have been brainwashed to the fullest how can nature be a sin. Remeber God created good and evil. Jesus is nothing bro that's seperating God God is one even lucifer has god in him we are all One ...... Respect nd Love |

REborn today User ID: 35911157 United States 03/10/2013 05:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I typed this exact same question as I am trying to quit smoking myself...wondering if I need to. I found this thread. I have denied god's existence for quite some time as well the existence of life after death. Having recently found and begun to understand god and the meaning of Christianity, It pains me to see some of the hurtful and hateful responses posted here. I will admit that I am unfamiliar with most of the bible and can't give an educated response in regards to the question, but at least Christians do not take dumps all over others' opinions. In regards to the claim that religion is a government conspiracy of some sort...the government controls Church because the United States were founded upon Christianity...take a history course. The government supports Christianity, not because they want to manipulate anyone but because it's in the constitution around which the foundation of American society revolves. Don't blame Jesus Christ because the American government is corrupt. They may be corrupt but it's no reason to reject the notion of something that is so blatantly undeniable. think deeply of the majesty of the human body's design and the beauty of nature and it is hard for one not to realize that only something more powerful than anyone human could ever prove exists is responsible. I consider myself an intellectual and spent much time considering different faiths before I was saved. The simple truth is that if you are so dependent upon smoking weed that you are googling whether or not its is acceptable in the eye's of the lord, you may want to tone it down a notch if nothing else... |

Being christian is for dumb old fucks who got indoctrinated by the system so hard the shit is physically impossible to get out of their heads.. but a motherfucking 22 year old completely brainwashed by religion, worshiping an idol and expressing his love for his lord jesus christ, you fucking disgust me and I'm only a couple of years older than you Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2458875 you sir are an asshole and are a disgrace to stoners. As a person that is regularly discriminated against for your choice to use marijuana, you should be able to to see the perspective that somebody having a different opinion on a topic DOES NOT make them wrong. I personally am not religious, but i am completely for anyone practicing whatever religion they want as long as they respect everyones else's opinion and right to believe as they choose (thats why the founders of America fled England to alleviate religious persecution ). I am offended that you would say something so ignorant as what one person's belief on the way of life is wrong and yours is right and every one should do as you do. Congratulations on embarrassing the rest of the cannabis consuming community with your unbelievably insulting comments. |

derome User ID: 13914181 United Kingdom 03/14/2013 04:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are degrees of sin as there are degrees of love, for instance, Jesus said the servant who was ignorant would be chastised with few lashes for their ignorance. People will say...the body is the temple of the holy spirit, which is absolutely true for the bible says that. But in what context? Notice in its context, paul was referring to fornication sexually for in doing this you make Christ one with a harlot, while he says every other sins are without the body. The sexual act between man and woman is a deep spiritual mystery where the two become one. Smoking iSo using the verse that says the body is the temple of the holy spirit to refer to smoking or what you eat(anything put in the body), though it be a health issue to your body we all should be aware of, this is not in violation of the polluting of the spirit nor does it hinder you fellowship in Christ. |

afollowerofTheWay User ID: 11647532 United States 03/16/2013 07:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Psychoactive Cannabis Sativa/Indica was indeed created by our heavenly Creator-Father, and YES, it can be effectively used as medicine. Even though it has many wonderful uses and benefits,...just like anything else,...it can also become abused and likewise, addictive at least psychologically, and to some people, also physically. The highly potent strains nowadays are FAR stronger than the older versions throughout history, and thus, the potential for addiction is much higher,...as confirmed by the many thousands of people annually who have entered rehabilitation centers to help break their addictions. Also,...whenever a person alters their consciousness beyond the scope of what the Bible Scriptures morally allow,...it CAN open up that person's mind/consciousness to greater measures of influence by the forces of darkness. I KNOW what it is I speak of,...for after over 20 years being deeply involved with occultism, drugs, etc. (prior to becoming delivered and set free),...this type of activity occurs more often than most folks realize, and leads to all sorts of trouble in the long term. Whenever you "play with fire",...you can easily get "burned". "Pharmakia" is translated as "sorceries" in Revelation 9:21 and 18:23. Since I spent many years in deep occultism, prior to becoming healed, delivered and saved (born-again Spiritually),...I was a practicing witch-sorcerer who oftentimes used hallucinogenic drugs to enter deep trance states of consciousness for the express purpose of opening up the mind and spirit to demonic entities and receiving their influence and power in a tangible manner, which involves channeling. Our heavenly Father Yahweh (God) created our bodies as a natural drug factory. The brain and various organs release neurotransmitters, including dopamine (where the word, "dope" comes from), seratonin, endorphins, adrenaline, melatonin, and a whole host of other drugs which are extremely powerful. The Pineal gland secretes a natural hallucinogen, called "DMT", and we cannot see dreams (or visions) without it. Also, our bodies release endo-cannabinoids, which are the natural drug form of cannabinoids (same as what is in psychoactive Cannabis Sativa and Indica plants). It is about the context of WHY and HOW we use drugs. Is it for healing and sustenance,....or is it for pleasure and/or conducting magick (sorcery)? The pharmaceutical industry is extremely corrupt, as well as the government(s) of the world who are greedy for money, as well as for controlling the global populace. They cannot be trusted, and thus, we must research all medicines, and ONLY take into our bodies (which are the Temple of the Holy Spirit) what is healthy and beneficial. The Scriptures also speak of wine being used for medicinal purposes. However,...they also condemn the use of alcohol whenever it is used for the express purpose of intoxication and drunkenness. One of the nine "fruit of the Spirit" is "self-control",...and whenever a person becomes intoxicated and drunk, stoned, or whatever the altered state of consciousness is called,...they are in effect also losing some measure of self-control, and have transgressed the commandments by negatively altering the body and mind, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit (who easily becomes grieved, quenched and vexed whenever we walk in the fallen carnal, self-centered nature). Obey the laws of the land,...and do not smoke Cannabis whenever it is illegal in your state, and can potentially destroy your life (as well as those within the family) if caught/busted by the authorities. However,...if it is legal in your state,...then use it as the Holy Spirit leads/guides for medicinal (NOT recreational) purposes, with seasoned wisdom while abiding in self-control at all times, for the glory of God the father which brings for life and blessing,...rather than for the glory of the fallen self-nature(ego) which brings for death/destruction. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4102152 United States 03/18/2013 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is my take: Smoking marijuana is a sin only because it is illegal. Breaking the law IS a sin, unless it conflicts with God's law. Which abstaining from drugs does NOT. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2536981 If it were legal, I don't believe it would be a sin. As long as it were used responsibly, and in moderation. Just like alcohol. But the fact remains that for now, it is against the law. you christians are the dummest lot I`ve ever seen. go fuck yourselves I'm sorry you feel that way, but we are actually quite smart. Look at what you put? Does that sound very intelligent? No. If you are going to argue with what she said fine...but you have nothing. Come up with something a little more mature and intuitive next time. |

Therefore as said in Hebrews be sober and don't get drunk on wine that makes a person debauchery instead be full of spirit so there smoking weed is a sin. I seen pictures of bishops smoking I can't believe it I used to smoke when I was young weed and cigarette but to make the long story short because I'm typing on iPhone one day I was smoking cigarette when my friend told me that I should quit so I looked up in the sky and said to god god if u want me to stop smoking give me a sign so I waited for a moment then I thought nothing will happen then moments later this was this flash of lightning then moments later was this very loud bang that made the care around go off so yea smoking any substance is a SIN |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34658518 United States 03/19/2013 02:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Simple Short Answer: No, it's not a sin. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34713934 Your god made this plant, like all others in nature, that is all. Mankind made the rules for how we interact with said plant, not god. Have you not been reading Jesus said that god will uproot those that he did not plant. If Satan plant seed of hatred in your heart is it not gods will so. But because god loves us he gave us free will a choice of our own that is why Jesus said to the Pharisees "didn't I say you we're gods?" He said this because we have gained freedom to do anything even if we chose to go against god he will not restrict this freedom but be aware you will give account for whatever you have done. |
