Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

You've been told the position of the LBC pastors on wacky tobaccy. If it's too harsh for you, you're welcome to mosey on down the road and do a dooby with those methodists, who like you believe in the kinder, gentler God and Jesus instead of the real God as His Bibles show Him to be.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I really don't know of any Christian Church (even the false ones) that support smoking marjiuana. Yet they won't let this topic die.

It's bad, it makes you stupid, God doesn't want you to be any stupider than he made you.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I believe that weed would have many physical side-effects as well, Making you sluggish, lazy, and stupid, and not only just while smoking it but long term effects resulting from repeated use.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

Do you say that as an expert or did you just make that up off the top of your head?

what the other person said is true. Marijuana isn't physically addictive, but your mind will crave it. It's better for you than heroine, but no drug is a good idea.

What? Did you just say something I agree with? I'm so confused.

Exodus 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

This is quite believable however

This is an oxymoron, which is not to be confused with stupid bovine

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

If the DR perscribed it, then I say no, it's not a sin. For those of you who say it is, if you have ever taken ANY perscription medication, then you are not only a hypocrit, but a "sinner" as well.

Those of you who say "marijuana is illegal, and God says to obey the laws of the land".... well guess what, possesion of controlled substance, aka, a perscription drug w/out the perscription, is also a crime. It is actually a higher offense than possesion of marijuana in most states. However, if you have a perscription for it, it isn't illegal.
Therefor, if you have a perscription for marijuana, then it isn't illegal, and in my eyes isn't a sin.

And for those of you who are lashing out at this person calling them a sinner... who are you to judge? I'm pretty sure the bible says that ONLY God can judge, and it is a sin for you to judge other people. Don't believe me, read it for yourself in Luke 6: 37. "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged..."

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

It is not in the BIBLE so yes it would be a sin. JESUS would not approve of this.

It has been repeatedly proven that mary-jane has no medicinal benefits. If you have a prescription, you're only doing it to get stoned.

What you think is irrelevant. Let's consult the Holy Bible on what It says on the subject.

1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.



1 Thessalonians 5:4-8 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.


1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.


Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

And for those of you who are lashing out at this person calling them a sinner... who are you to judge? I'm pretty sure the bible says that ONLY God can judge, and it is a sin for you to judge other people. Don't believe me, read it for yourself in Luke 6: 37. "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged..."

That has to do with hypocritical judgment. Keep reading that chapter.


Luke 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

That would refer for example, if I was smoking a joint while posting this telling you not to smoke weed.

So if an MD prescribed methamphetimine (which they actually do for ADHD), you think Jesus would approve?

Jesus clearly wants us in our right minds at all times. No drug, prescribed or otherwise that alters our state of mind should EVER be used. It muddles our perception of the Holy Spirit and only leads to wickedness.

You need salvation or an asbestos suit. Take your pick.

Yours in Christ

Bless you Pastor Jones! Only a real man of God could so easily quote the exact scriptures I was looking for, from rote memory!

Bless you in Christ!

I believe that God does not care if we do drugs, God did allow Noah to take alcohol onto the ark.

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

I believe that God does not care if we do drugs,

Did you even read what Pastor Levi wrote above about how God commands us to be sober? Your belief is shot down.

God did allow Noah to take alcohol onto the ark.

Rubbish! Absolute nonsense!

Show me the verses where it says Noah brought alcohol onto the ark.

What makes you think that? Were you on the ship at the time?

Re: Is smoking marijuana a sin?

No I wasn't there but it was brought up in my Christianity class, and I will post the verses once I find my bible, it's packed up with all my other books when I moved out of the dorm.
