Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I am sure preverted religions of all stripe use maryjawana as a sacrament !!

Any True Christian dabbling with an ecumenical sacrament isn't a True Christian at all !!

I bet that smoky Catlix abomination swung around at their unGodly masses has weed in it to help subjugate and depravitate their members !!

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I believe that smoking the weed is totally against God's wishes but I am worried that one time at college many years ago I was in a room where another student was covertly smoking the stuff and I inhaled passively before I knew what was going on. I have prayed hard ever since the but I don't know if I'll be heading for the fiery pit or not. What do you think guys? I am still bothered by this.

Have you given yourself to Jesus? Do you study the AV 1611 Bible and believe every Word is the Word of God? If so, you'll be fine.

Now head on over to the introduction forum and tell us about yourself.

Yours in Christ

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

The AV 1611 Bible knows all, tells all, and possesses any answer you would ever require.

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.

If you are concerned with interpretation (as you should be, follow the book literally and with no deviation), smoking marijuana is a sure-fire one way ticket to hell; eating it on the other hand is perfectly fine.

It is delicious brownie, you must eat it

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

It stirs my bowels like nothing else to gesture kindly in the direction of a despicable atheist seed such as yourself Mr. Finn. My only hope is that this recipe below will help you see some evidence of light though that eternal darkness you have damned yourself to.

May this one-time-only (yet terrifically hesitant) gesture help you see the way to our Lord.

PLACE: 3/4 Ounce of the broken plant in stainless steel pot. (about 1/3 cup)

POUR: Over the plant with veggie oil, just enough to cover the broken plant pieces completely.

Have your burner on the lowest setting.

OCCASIONALLY: stir with a table spoon.

after 40 minutes of cooking strain the oil (DONT EVEN LET IT COOL) in the pot through a strainer.

press the plant through the strainer squeezing out every drip drop.

add enough oil to have 1/2 cup (<--)


mix brownie mix, 3 tablespoons of water, 2 eggs, and your oil you made up there ^

pour batter into a 8x11 glass pan and bake for 31 minutes on 315 degrees Fahrenheit.

let cool over night.

Enjoy a 4x2 piece of the batch everyday before heading off to Church.

PLUS: taste like normal brownies in every sense of the term.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

You must realize that smoking marijuana IS obviously what god put it here for or at least imbibing it in some sort of fashion. Yes of course paper and other products can be made from hemp and those are also what god put it here for. How is imbibing it a perversion of god's will? Here's where I blow the lid off your whole argument -- We have cannabis receptors in our brain. God gave them to us so we can experience the altered states that cannabis provides. So how on earth can you say anything when God gave us a socket in our brain that THC and THC ONLY can plug into?
God gave us this plant and many others so we could experience the full depth and breadth of life and it's wonders.
Of course you can abuse these things but too much of anything is bad and every person should realize this. Balance is needed for all of life and so very many of life's pursuits.
Cannabis has unfairly been demonized when it is truly a divine gift that can provide a myriad of wonderful things if used properly.
I could write an essay about that last statement but really don't feel like going that route at the moment. I will just say in my previous experiences with cannabis I was able to overcome shyness, see the nature of my true self, find my true path in life, experience moments in time so beautiful that I cried, come up with poetry/songs of the highest calibre,and on and on. I eventually learned how to reproduce (or gave myself the power of belief) to reproduce these things in sober life. I did every one of these things ALL by myself with no one around. Yes, I had friends but once I started to realize I was misusing this god-given plant I stopped doing it recreationally with my friends.
There is whole litany of medical uses as well but I'm not even going to delve into that. There are also a great number of valuable persons (not just in the art/music world) that have changed the world for the better through their use of cannabis. These particular truths could be argued but I know them to be undeniably true. However my main point and driving thrust of this message is contained in the first paragraph. It should be legal for so many reasons that it's absurd so there is absolutely no reason to feel bad/guilty about partaking. May God bless you all
in your journies.

--------btw THC is the active ingredient in cannabis FYI. It's what "get's you high"---------

God of course gave us the plant. But only as a plant.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

No. Smoking marijuana is actually a good thing, it enlightens us and brings us closer to Him.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

No. Smoking marijuana is actually a good thing, it enlightens us and brings us closer to Him.

2Th:2:11: And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th:2:12: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I fail to see how, when your mind is befuddled by drugs a person may nevertheless, truly understand The Lord's Love.

If I may draw your attention to gimps and the under-age; there is no point baptizing them as they do not comprehend the consequences and responsibilities.

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

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I'd like to submit that we are all being drugged as we speak with an endogenous form of THC, the active constituent of cannabis.

In all of our brains there is a receptor called the cannabinoid receptor. There are 2: CB1 and CB2. CB1 is the most abundant G-protein coupled receptor in the human brain. This means it is the most abundant receptor which mediates downstream cellular events. CB2 is located in your bones and mediates your immune system and bone density.

The reason these receptors are called the cannabinoid receptors is because prior to the discovery of ANANDAMIDE, researchers believed THC to be the only chemical which activates these receptors. Now, we know that we have a neurotransmitter, that EVERYONE uses in VAST amounts CONSTANTLY throughout their God-given lives. Anandamide is an oil, much like THC, that mediates memory and pre-synaptic suppression of inhibition.

So your CB receptors are actually constantly being activated and you are technically "high" all the time. The only difference is that anandamide is a product of our brain's chemical evolution and thus it is easy for our neurons to break down the substance. THC, being exogenous, is much harder to break down, hence when you smoke cannabis you are high for an extended amount of time.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

Stop persecuting me with your scienceism and big words. And what are you talking about anyway? Weed? That mess is a blight. Stinks like burning beard hair and clogs up the drainage ditches on my land. I had one clump so bad near a cow pond that I had to have my guys take a whole day off to cut it down and haul it off. One of my best Guernseys ate some and she died a horrible death. Poor thing tried to drink her own milk and snapped her back right in half. You should have heard her mooaning, it was pathetic. Milk was almost orange too from all the poison in it.

[Kraks de Chevalier]

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

Your cows may actually benefit from eating hemp. In some European countries, farmers are known to do this and they report healthier, happier cows with more milk.

For more information on anandamide, check out PubMed.com , it's a US government funded online resource for research papers. Are you a farmer? You may actually find great use in the hemp fiber, being that it is the strongest organic fiber and can be used as feed for livestock. I support American farmers and I wish they had the opportunity to use hemp, but unfortunately our drug laws in this country make it illegal to grow such a plant (even though the male plant, where hemp comes from, does not produce a viable amount of THC). If you are 18 you can start killing yourself with cigarettes, but farmers cannot utilize a non-toxic plant. Such a shame!

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

Is anyone here akin to using incense? If so, recent research shows incense to be psychoactive. Wasn't there incense present when Christ was born?
