Bible and canabis
 
SOMETHING I FOUND ON THE INTERNET


Passages from the King James Bible that are relevant
to the legal and moral status of Cannabis sativa, L.


And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)
God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Gen. 1:29-31)
(No prohibition of cannabis or any other drug is made in the Ten Commandments: See Ex. 20:1-17)
(Cannabis is mentioned in Ex. 30:23 but King James mistranslated it as 'sweet calamus') :
Moreover, the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even 250 shekels, and of qaneh-bosm [cannabis] 250 shekels, 24 And of cassia 500 shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy anointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 26 And thous shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, 27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick ahd his vessels, and the altar of incense, 28 And the altar of burnt offerings with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. (Exodus 30:22-29)
* As one shekel equals approximately 16.37 grams, this means that the THC from over 9 pounds of flowering cannabis tops were extracted into a hind, about 6.5 litres of oil. The entheogenic effects of such a solution -- even when applied topically -would undoubtedly have been intense.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make his face to shineth. (Psalm 104:14-15)
The Lord said unto me, "I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches. (Is. 18:4-5)
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. (Ezekiel 34:29)
(Jesus:) "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." (Matt. 15:11)
One believeth that he may eat all things. Another…eateth herbs. … Let us not, therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Epistle of St. Paul: Romans 14: 2,3,13,14,17)
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereupon thou hast attained. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-6)
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Rev. 22:1-2)

I think I like the Bible even less now; didn't know that was possible.

Ex:30:23: Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,

From Eastons Bible Topics:
Calamus

the Latin for cane, Hebrew _Kaneh_, mentioned (Ex. 30:23) as one of the ingredients in the holy anointing oil, one of the sweet scents (Cant. 4:14), and among the articles sold in the markets of Tyre (Ezek. 27:19). The word designates an Oriental plant called the "sweet flag," the Acorus calamus of Linnaeus. It is elsewhere called "sweet cane" (Isa. 43:24; Jer. 6:20). It has an aromatic smell, and when its knotted stalk is cut and dried and reduced to powder, it forms an ingredient in the most precious perfumes. It was not a native of Palestine, but was imported from Arabia Felix or from India. It was probably that which is now known in India by the name of "lemon grass" or "ginger grass," the Andropogon schoenanthus.

Next they'll tell us that God doesn't really condemn sodomy and witchcraft in the Holy Bible. :glare:

Ayeola,

If Jesus doesn't hate dope heads like He hates sodomites, witches and atheists then why did President Reagan stand up on national TV and declare the War on Drugs? Huh? Let's be logical here.

Wow, how clever of you. And original.

I think that, with one exception, none of the verses you mentioned has anything to do with smoking marijuana. You think that eating meat and applying oil are the same thing as smoking a joint. You think that instructions for cultivating grape vines somehow give you permission to smoke dope. You are wrong.

Quote:

(Jesus:) "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." (Matt. 15:11)
Actually, you have a good point with this one. You can inhale marijuana in accordance with the Bible. You just can't exhale.

Cannabis sativa is native to central Asia.

Quote:

Native to Central Asia, and long cultivated in Asia, Europe, and China. Now a widespread tropical, temperate and subarctic cultivar and waif. The oldest use of hemp seems to be for fiber, and later the seeds began to be used for culinary purposes. Plants yielding the drug seem to have been discovered in India, cultivated for medicinal purposes as early as 900 BC. In medieval times it was brought to North Africa where today it is cultivated exclusively for hashish or kif.
Is Israel in central Asia? No.

In other words . . . it's not mentioned in the Bible, dimwit stoner.

It would not make it right to smoke it though. If God ordained it to be used as part of his holy worship, then what do you think he would feel about people smoking it? Not very happy about it, at least I would think! If the body is the temple of the Lord and the Christian is part of the body of Christ, that means that you are part of it. Do you think that a stoner should be in the same body as a Christian who does not smoke the evil weed? Tell me what you think about that.

Are you suggesting that stoners advocate raping Christians? :fear2:

Well, I will be honnest about it (and please don't get angry because of my writing mistakes, I'm doing the best I can)

Once there was a time that I trought "drugs, they say it is bad, but thay say that to about alcohol and everyone is drinking, so it isn't that bad".

then there was a time that a thought "God made cannabis for a reason. maybe it's not bad at all"

and I tried it.

It was nice than, but after a while you get problems because of it.

So now I am against it. the same with alcohol.

when you smoke drugs, or drink alcohol you don't think straight. and that isn't a good thing.

I know people who still do it and i tell them about the dangers, but if they don't listen, that is their problem.I won't judge them.

but I am against it (now).

So what you're saying is you are smoking and drinking even as we speak?

Yours in Christ :jesus:

I'm glad you've gained this perspective! You're one step closer to Jesus!

Something you can share when witnessing to your doper friends is that God made cyanide and arsenic, too. Does that mean we should try them?
