your right i apologize for being a wise ass that was uncalled for
but i couldnt resist my self i mean he asked "is it wrong for a Christian to smoke weed?"
anyone with common sense knows that no one can answer that question but your self and ur personal beliefs
its like the same thing as a jewish person asking you "is it wrong that i believe in jesus?"

Hey everybody im 18 and have been smoking for a little less than a year. I was just wondering do you guys think that its wrong to smoke weed and be a christian. I grew up around the whole religious stuff, private school, chruch ect. and did not like it at all so many fake people and boringness. But at this point in my life i truly believe that there is a God just not sure what to believe or even know if we can know anything about this being. But so far from things ive reasearched and experienced i think the Christian God makes the most sense to me. I read this http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/565840 and though it had some good points but idk didnt convince me at all that its completley wrong. 1. Does it glorify him not really but does it really disapoint God too. Does sitting watching tv glorify god no but it doesnt hurt anything either 2. Yes when your on cannibis your a little less in control but as long as your doing cannibis in consideration and not doing before work school and interfering with your responsibilities then your still practicing good self control i think. 3. Cannibis has never made me do anything i really didnt want to do (unlike alcohol) i can pretty much control myself only think i cant is control laughing my euphoria and sometimes the muchies but even then i can control those now. So again i dont think its a problem. 4 Question 4 brings me back to the same point its not neccisarily glorifying but doest not glorify i think. As for the damage to your body yes it is hurting your lungs but isnt eating fatty foods hurting us too why is it not a prioity to completley stop eating all body harming foods I think because its a pleasure in life that God wants us to enjoy but he still wants us to practice self control so basically dont do it all the time. If your not abusing it and not pushing others to smoke then why should it hurt others. Others may be influenced to do it by seeing you and maybe they dont have the self control to handle it but thats when you should step in and tell them cannibis isnt for them. And for the last question well yes i could live without it...but i could live without alot of things i could go live on the bare minimum not have t.v guitars so many useless things but i think again that God placed some pleasures to enjoy (within reason of corase) on this earth and that there is nothing wrong with that. So any Christians on RIU who can help me. Basically im asking this because I truly believe that there is a God and am trying to figure out how to fill this emptiness in my life. Post anything please, it doesnt matter to me im probably wrong anyway and i apologize for any spelling grammatic and many other errors sorry (Oh but dont post any hater shit have a point and some logic behind your statement please ty)

Cannabolic said:

wuddup all its cannabolic. alot of ppl fight over the issue that marijuana and and/or alcohol is against God, The Bible, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. I have argued this for the past 2 years. I have argued with preists,biblical researchers, college students who are studying to become pastors. and i've come up with my own strong arguement and belief in hopes to enlighten. my argument is this: that in christianity, whe are allowed touse alcohol and marijuana and other earthly herbs, but not abusing our right to do so. Please I ask everyone in our cannabis community and give me as much feedback as possible. thank you.

GENESIS THEORY

i will start with the beginning. in the book of Genesis. it talks of god creating the earth and everything that is put on the earth is in his image.crazy enough they talk about herbs in the first couple of pages of the bible. for thoes who don't kno or remember ill resite chapters1:11-12 and 29

"and god said, ""let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed in itself,, upon the earth and it was so."(GENESIS 1:11) here god summons the grass, herbs and fruits and veggies as an image of himself.

"and the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw it was GOOD ."(GENESIS !:12)the earth grows the grass,and herbs and likes what he sees

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."(GENESIS 1:29) god says he has given the herbs and fruits as nurishment.

that being said everyone knows marijuana is an herb right? so why would god place things on earth as our (meat) if it was intended to harm us? secondly he said after he created the grass and the herbs and the fruit that IT WAS GOOD.
the biggest part of the Genesis Theory is that some ppl say that the garden of Eden's tree of knowledge of good and evil is related to the herb that we smoke today.BUT! how could that be if creating the earth and the grass and the herbs came prior to the creation of the garden of eden?.

"and the lord god commanded the man, saying of EVERY tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat." (GENESIS 2:16-17
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" basicly adam could eat freely except the tree of knowledge. and no one has ever died from smokin bud so therefor weed can't be the tree of knowledge that the bible is talking about.

as far as drugs goes, the only drug ever mentioned in the bible is liquor.

"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more." (Prov 31:6-7)

meaning its ok to drink. and forget your troubles. but no to the point were you are abusing it. Also, reguardless. wine is an alcohol, which is a drug. yet jesus shares it amongst his friends durring the last supper. hmmmmm.

aparently there is a gray area in the bible when it comes to drinking and/or smoking. in fact it dossent seem that in the biblical times they had a problem with marijuana at all. Jesus actually even associated in bud smokers

"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)
meaning its not what you do that makes you trash, its what you say that defines who you are
infact NO ONE has had a problem with marijuana up until Oct 2, 1937 marijuana tax stamp act.
which is in my still living grandmonther's lifetime.

I'm not going to go into the history of the marijuana prohibition. but i will say that its part of the reason why religion and state are in a twine. for a little over 80 years ppl have been saying marijuana is bad and people tend to try to relate the law to the bible. which is commonly tangled because the standard laws of the bible, are the same laws that are in our law books. so people figure they are simular, so they must be the same.


I have read the bible through and through and i can't find anything saying reefa is bad. although the only slight attack towards bud is "the body is his temple thing. but like always i have a case for that aswell.


(1 Corinthians 3:16-17) Do you not know that

you are the temple of God and that the

Spirit of God dwells in you? {17} If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy

him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are​

obveously talking drugs and abusing your body is a no-no. however its not just that its, over eating, sleeping around, anything harmful to your body. but if they ment to exclude ALL drugs then they wouldn't of ever drank wine.
also smoking or drinking where it controls your everyday life is also bad.
that being said its all about how you use your herb or booze. if your habbit is starting to take over your life and its doing harm to yourself, friends family etc, then its against the bible, and the teachings of jesus christ. but as long as you treat your body with respect and not hurting anyone, then your not going against the rules. SMOKING AND DRINKING IS OK PPL!!! and i hope i cleared it up for alot of ppl because i know it was bothering me my whole life. thanks again for reading and plz i need all the comments i can get. thanks again​
