Boy, all drugs are evil and will kill you. Drugs also make spelling a simple word such as 'physically' a very daunting task for a young, punk pothead.

Alcohol is a drug, advil is a drug is a drug, do they make everyone evil and kill you?

Jesus drank wine, so it is a Godly activity. He wasn't a dope addict like you.

Don't come here mocking God.

Thanks a lot helen kellar i didn't know that. i was saying just because someone takes drugs doesn't mean they are evil. Look at jesus he drank wine is he evil? of course not.

Jesus drank wine therefore wine, of itself, cannot be evil. So what's your point? Is your point that because Jesus did not smoke weed, then it must be good because he didn't play baseball and that is good?

You need to address the argument that taking marijuana impairs the faculties and pollutes the God-Given Image of Himself i.e. your body, or to be more accurate, a body of a True Christian™ or that whilst stoned out of your mind, you are in no position to properly appreciate God's majesty and thank Him for it.

Sir, you are ignorant and cannot follow an argument you are deluded through substance abuse - that alone should convince you that marijuana is evil.

Well put; would Jesus 'take a toke?' Not likely. There's no doubt that Hell is covered with cannabis plants.

That's why they call it 'ditch weed', because it will grow anywhere.

Who is this "jesus" you are talking about friend? Some Mexican servant? Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ never smoke dope so He was and is no drugy.

Look, buddy, we don't do showtunes in this forum. Keep your Sound of Music quotes to yourself.

Im not sure

That's where I stopped reading the War and Peace reprint that you posted. So far, I agree completely, you are not sure.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I just stumbled upon this thread while surfing the internet and I am in absolute disbelief of the ignorance perpetuated by some of the fools in this forum. As far as the "pastors" and "reverends" that are some of the main contributors to the trash that comprises this landfill, God does not revere your bigoted attempts to elevate yourself to a status of ultra-sanctity, as you carelessly blast people that are simply seeking some spiritual guidance. So, Miss Biglow, to answer your question in as rational a way as possible, smoking marijuana can be a sin. It is all about the mindset with which you approach smoking and the company that you keep while you're doing it. From a psychological perspective, marijuana is simply going to enhance the intensity of whatever activity it is that you normally do. If you are a strung-out pothead who eats, drinks, sleeps (but mainly breathes) marijuana, you are probably not going to be overly concerned with the moral or spiritual ramifications of your actions. These people are not who this post is about. However, if you are a level-headed, conscientious individual who likes to wind down occasionally by activating some cannibinoid receptors, marijuana is not inherently sinful. In addition to its pharmaceutical benefits (i.e. in treating glaucoma or as a coping mechanism in cancer patients) marijuana allows you to see into your soul and really do some quality self-examination. Colossians 3:1 says, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." If you have this mindset to begin with, smoking marijuana is simply going to increase your desire to "seek those things which are above." There is such a misconception regarding what a marijuana high entails that is nearly impossible to convey this idea to a non-user, particularly those that are racists, bigots, and lovers of themselves more than lovers of God (not to point fingers ). THC is not "intoxicating" like alcohol because it is not itself a toxin, and does not stimulate any fundamental changes in a person's state of mind or their ideals. It simply happens to be a great stress reliever which is abused by many, many people. In case you are interested, I am a frequent marijuana smoker as well as a member of an exceptionally fundamental independent Baptist church. I accepted Christ as my savior at age 7, and look forward to my eternal reward in Heaven. If you have any comments/insults to throw my way, feel free...I am not shy. However, I would like for anyone who posts to seriously consider what they say before they post anything that accuses me of being a heathen, hippie, druggie or anything of the like, because I am none of those things, and it would be a grave sin to say that I am.

First off, it would have been better if your had read the Pastors Rules and Announcements, paying particular attention to the Noobs thread. It specifically states that you should introduce yourself in a polite manner on the Introduction thread.. I suggest you do this, and try to be more polite.

Second, you are lying about being a "Fundamental Baptist". If you were you would not be smoking marijuana.

Consider what Brother Eugene posted earlier. It's obvious you didn't read it.

Secular laws are put into place to keep us safe, and we must obey them, because that is what God wants.

1 Peter 2:13-15
13Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men

Brother Eugene stated all there is needed on the subject of marijuana. It IS a sin to smoke marijuana because you are disobeying secular law.

So I suggest you calm down, read a bit, and come back with an appropriate introduction.

Yours in Christ
Brother Lazarus

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

It simply happens to be a great stress reliever which is abused by many, many people . . . I am a frequent marijuana smoker . . . [I am not a] druggie or anything of the like, . . . and it would be a grave sin to say that I am.

Not only are you too stoned to figure out what a paragraph break is, but you're too stoned to see the contradictions in your own post.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

As far as the "pastors" and "reverends" that are some of the main contributors to the trash that comprises this landfill,

You have just earned yourself a handful of infraction points

God does not revere your bigoted attempts to elevate yourself to a status of ultra-sanctity,

No man knows the Mind of God, and I should think that for a druggy like you there would be a difficulty in knowing your own mind.

It is all about the mindset with which you approach smoking and the company that you keep while you're doing it.

You obviously have missed out the bible verses that back up your argument – please enlighten us.

From a psychological perspective, marijuana is simply going to enhance the intensity of whatever activity it is that you normally do. If you are a strung-out pothead who eats, drinks, sleeps (but mainly breathes) marijuana, you are probably not going to be overly concerned with the moral or spiritual ramifications of your actions. These people are not who this post is about.

Hold on there boy, you’re suggesting there are two sets of people in the world who react differently to dope? One chemical, One subject, 2 distinct reactions? How much did you fail basic science by?

However, if you are a level-headed, conscientious individual who likes to wind down occasionally by activating some cannibinoid receptors, marijuana is not inherently sinful.

Not only do you know God’s mind, you now can inform us what is sinful! Praise!

Colossians 3:1 says, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." If you have this mindset to begin with, smoking marijuana is simply going to increase your desire to "seek those things which are above."

but you’ll be doing it whilst thinking that the phrase “A squirrel on a long road” is the most hysterically funny thing you’ve ever heard – This is disrespect gone wild!

There is such a misconception regarding what a marijuana high entails that is nearly impossible to convey this idea to a non-user, particularly those that are racists, bigots, and lovers of themselves more than lovers of God (not to point fingers).

Your infraction points have just doubled

In case you are interested, I am a frequent marijuana smoker as well as a member of an exceptionally fundamental independent Baptist church. I accepted Christ as my savior at age 7,

Infant baptism is NOT baptism

and look forward to my eternal reward in Heaven.

If you can still get asbestos suits around your place, I’d invest if I were you.

I would like for anyone who posts to seriously consider what they say before they post anything that accuses me of being a heathen, hippie, druggie or anything of the like, because I am none of those things, and it would be a grave sin to say that I am.

It is not you who may pronounce on sin, Sir, not only are you a heathen, hippie, druggie you are leading the innocent into the ways of Satan!
Son, let me tell you a home truth. To me you sound like a one-legged man trying to tell the world how good having one leg is because you save money on shoes.

Welcome to our Godly Forum™, why not go to the introduction forum and tell us about yourself. Why are you a homer ? Is it from smoking too much of Satan's weed ?
