I will not tell you to stop smoking, however....

If you want to live your eternal afterlife in paradise I suggest you stop using drugs now. Otherwise hell awaits you for eternity and that is not something you want.
Drugs are not only illegal, but also bad for your environment.

I hope this message makes you realise how wrong you are and that this thread becomes a turning point in your empty life.

Much love,

Father Bennett.

What is the Word of God on the Cannabis plant?

The hemp plant (scientific name: cannabis, slang: marijuana) is one of the many useful herbs "yielding seed after its kind" created and blessed by God on the third day of creation, "and God saw that it was good." (Genesis 1:12) He gave hemp for people to use with our free will.

God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be for meat." … And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:29-31) The Bible predicts some herb's prohibition. "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times, some shall … speak lies in hypocrisy … commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-3)

The Bible speaks of a special plant. "I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more." (Ezekiel 34:29) A healing plant. On either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare 12 manner of fruits, and yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelations 22:1-2) A gift from God.

How was cannabis used in Biblical times and lands?

Cannabis was used 12 ways: clothing, paper, cord, sails, fishnet, oil, sealant, incense, food, and in ceremony, relaxation and medicine. For so the Lord said unto me, "I will take my rest and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs. For afore harvest, when the bud is perfect and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks and take away and cut down the branches." (Isaiah 18:4-5)

What about cannabis today?

Hemp today has thousands of uses. Modern technology has devised many new uses for the hemp plant&emdash;like biomass energy, building materials, fuel, plastic and so on. Hemp is ecological and its seed is among the best food crops on Earth. Selected varieties produce flowers that provide an herbal relaxant and a spiritual tool. Its herb is used globally as medicine.

Does the Bible discuss drugs?

Alcohol is the only drug openly discussed in the Bible, so it must serve as our reference. Wine is drunk during religious occasions such as Passover &emdash; the Last Supper of Jesus and His disciples. It remains a sacrament in modern church services.

Jesus began his public life by miraculously turning water into wine at the Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-10) when the reception ran out. The Bible distinguishes between use and misuse. It says, Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. (Proverbs 31:6-7) but Woe unto them that … follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! (Isaiah 5:10)

Yet the simple joys of drinking were also sung. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make his face to shineth. (Psalm 104:14-15)

Did Jesus speak about choice?

He said not to criticize other people for their habits. "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; that which cometh out of the mouth defileth a man." (Mat. 15:11) The apostle Paul wrote, I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. … For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Paul: Romans 14:14,17)

Did He speak of government?

Jesus said to keep church and state apart. "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be God's." (Luke 20:25) As we have seen, it was God, not government, who gave man the herbs to use. And it was government that put Jesus to death.

Property forfeiture laws?

He warned us about seizure and forfeiture laws. "Beware of the scribes which …devour widows' houses…. The same shall receive greater damnation." (Luke 20:46-47) Jesus, too, was a victim. The soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part. (John. 19:33)

What about the Drug War?

Blessed are the peacemakers. (Matthew 5:9)

It was God who created cannabis hemp and told mankind to use "every green herb" on Earth. The Bible speaks of mercy, healing and a persecution of God's children. They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. (Psalms 119:86) Prisons and drug wars do not save souls. The Lord… hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. (Isaiah 61:1)

What should the ministry do?

Teach God's truth. Warn your congregation that the war on marijuana is unchristian and must be ended. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you will be no priest to Me … for I desired mercy and not sacrifice. (Hosea 4:6, 6:6)

Remember: Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving…. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine. (Paul: 1 Timothy 4:4-6)

 

Who wants to go to heaven these days i mean its like so tuesday Hells the new thang just like rap TOKE UP PEOPLE CMON LETS GET A SINNIN

 

Holy shit. I've seen the error of my ways. I've ignored all these posts before as being ridiculous and unfounded. But...I mean..wow. It really hit me deep this time. I read "otherwise hell awaits you for eternity" and thought it would be another sermon. But then I read, "and that is not something you want". Wow! My entire life came into perspective there. I thought to myself, "Y'know...I really don't want to go to hell! That would suck!" So..thanks. Thanks for reminding me that hell is bad and drugs are a surefire way to it.

In fact, I think that I'm such a changed person, that I might even start voting Republican now. Because, y'know, God needs to have a say in our government. "Liberty and justice for all!" God's a big part of "all". Think about it, you'll all see the truth too!

 

Bullshit.

 

rofl

 

PAWND!!!

 

My belief on marijuana is that it is a huge sin to let it rule your life(like many losers on the forums who let it). In the bible it says to do everything in moderation. If you use marijuana in moderation I think it it harmless.

Reminds me of a quote from southpark:

Drugs are bad.
and I know they are bad, because they are bad.
and I've never used drugs, so I know what I'm talking about.

 

Since this is a Marijuana forum I am going to assume that you are talking about Marijuana. I am interested to hear how Marijuana is bad for the environment...

 

hahhaahahaha, riiiighhht.

 

Smoke is bad for the environment.

 

there are plenty of "Gods" to choose from in this world, i belive none of them to be true, so i am going to make my own religion
...........................
and now i belive in the Ganja God, therefor you can not tell me how my God wont like me smokig ganja, and now, you are wrong

 

To the OP: Good job for judging us all. That my friend, is a sin.

 

Eternal damnation is cool.

 

Marijuana isn't bad for the enviroment, it's part of it. And who can make a plant illegal? Pretty soon there'll be a no tulip law because people think they're pretty.

And if I get to smoke in hell, then it's all good and dandy like cotton candy. There's sure to be enough fire to always get a light.

Oh, and your posts always make me laugh. I'll continue to laugh as I watch you from hell.

 

yeah, all the best people are there... when we're all eternally damned we can chill with each other and smoke whenever we want... i'm sure if weed is that bad then satan would have loads of it hangin around, good shit too

 

now normally i'm not a very uptight guy, but this statement bothers me. if this whole thread isn't a joke (which it probably is), then this statement is about the most ignorant part of it.

YOUR christian-oriented society, the one that your (i should add here, COMPLETELY human constructed, not "god's") church has built throughout the ages, does not condemn petroleum use, destruction of ecological habitat, etc etc etc the list could go on in ten thousand things. this society is built around the morals and prejudices that western religions have been forcing down our throat for thousands of years - religion, I would say more than ANY other single factor, is the reason for why we are destroying the environment as much as we are. capitalism, no doubt, is another massive factor in this - but i doubt something like capitalism could have arose without the western idea of complete orientation around self and self-fulfillment. stop being so self righteous. you're a complete hypocrit.

yeah, so i got mad. feel free to bash my post, anyone, point out my flaws. i'm always willing to refine my opinions. they are just ideas, after all - i'm willing to change, unlike many people with blind beliefs.

 

aight ur right father, my life is empty... I have been making the enviroment bad... oh shit and I just masturbated for like the 4th trillion time.. is it too late for me father...
