That's up to you to decide.

Though I preferred to be call by my name, Daniel.

Daniel I find your words uplifting.

And I feel that putting anything into the body other than the oxygen we need to survive is a sin. By smoking we would be insulting God. And you are right. The body is given to us by God. Therefore we must treat it with respect and love . In the name of Jesus.

I was very rude and harsh before I know Him.. He who sit above in Heaven changed me.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I am saddened by Pastor Ezekiel's inattention to the Word of God in this matter. It is of course perfectly true that the secular laws must be obeyed, but he fails to note that the act of exhalation itself is censured by strong implication.

In Acts 9:1-

" And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,"

This refers to Saul before the scales fell from his eyes and he received Jesus into his heart, thereby becoming St. Paul. Breathing out is the act of a wicked and unjust man.

What is that verse going to do with breathing?

Plus, aren't you breathing now?

Wow, way to take something out of context. Are you a mooslimb? Your name doesn't exactly sound Christian.

I, a miserable sinner, am indeed breathing now. As are you (Matthew 7:1 refers.) And only constant attendance to the precepts of the True Christian Church can mitigate the error. But it is my firm belief that there is no exhalation in Heaven, and that the saved will continuously inhale without ever breathing out.

Ok fair enough about the one in heaven.

Brother Seth, the Lord directs my understanding of His Word, and it is not for me to argue with Him. Or for you either, for that matter. Please read my introductory posts for an explanation of my adopted name, which is not associated with the Satanic adherents of the raghead cult even now threatening to destroy everything we hold dear and deny us our rights to God's own oil, which is meant for True Believers only. David Ben Ahzea is my Rapture name.

You may call me Duncan.

Or Sir.

Your brother in Jesus

Dunk.

Matthew 7:1? Post that scripture in context, boy. I am overflowing with Christ's Holy love and am without sin as 1 John 3 says.

5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

There is no beam in mine eye, son.

My mild rebuke was not directed to you, Sir. But I sure hope you have truly overcome, as Revelation 3:5 requires.

Dear friend, you are quite mistaken here. Breathing out is only evil when you breathe out threatenings and slaughter, the same way as speaking is only evil when you speak evilly.

If you want proof that breathing out is not evil, then please remember that it was God breathing out that made us who we are in the first place:

Genesis 2:7:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Not only man, but the entire universe was made by God breathing out:

Psalm 33:6:
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Lastly, we also see that the Holy Ghost was given to Jesus' True Christian™ Followers by Jesus breathing on them:

John 20:22:
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost

So you see, breathing out can impossibly be evil, as several of the most important events in history happened because of God and Jesus breathing out.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

Job tells us:

Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.


That is to say, sin was created with mankind, and though Our Lord is incapable of sin Himself, sin was, as you suggest ("Genesis 2:7:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."), a byproduct of His divine exhalation.


In fact we are surrounded by sin and degradation and Episcopalians, and this is God's will, mediated by His breathing out.

My dear friend, I've been told that you were an Pastor, but reading this, I have to conclude that that can impossibly be true.

First of all, the sinful nature of man was not a byproduct that occurred at the moment man was created. Instead, this sinful nature only became part of man after the Fall of Man, and the eating of the Forbidden Fruit:

Romans 5:12:
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

By one man. Not by God, and neither by His Divine Exhalation. If mankind became sinful at the moment he was created, what exactly changed after he ate the Forbidden Fruit? Are you even a Christian?

And anyway, you haven't provided a single Scripture that supports your statements.
Pastor Ezekiel corrected you Scripturally, you tried to defend your points unscripturally.
I have provided three Scripture Verses that show that the Creation of the Universe, the Creation of Man and the first Reception of the Holy Ghost by man happened because of God/Jesus exhaling. You haven't provide any scriptural (or even non-scriptural) argument to disprove my point.
