OK first off, this thread isn't the place for bashing any religion. Please, leave opinions about the religion overall out of this. I would like to hear BIBLICAL arguments, for or against the use of cannabis. Does Christianity consider it a sin?

I happen to be an atheist, but I am curious nonetheless if a case can be made, within the scope of biblical cannon, that it is not at all a sin to partake of the mota. If you believe it is, by all means, expound. All I ask is that we respect each other's beliefs.

I don't know the Catholic Church has an official stance on it but from growing up through 12 years of catholic school I can almost guarantee if you survey 100 Catholic Priests or Nuns 98 would say you're gonna burn.

"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth.…To you it will be... And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:29-31). This verse pretty much states that it isn't a sin to use cannabis, but religious officials fuck up the actual religion. I dig Christianity, it's a pretty good religion, but all these religious figureheads are twisting up the actual religion itself. If its on this earth it was probably made for a reason man.

There's a fairly reliable way of figuring out if something is a sin or not. Do you enjoy it? Is it fun? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then 99% of the time, it's gonna be a sin.

I'm UCC, no it's not a sin. Against the law, yes, but not a sin.

I've always heard that (I'm not religious so idk, perhaps you can explain it to me?) breaking a law, if it's by a legitimate authority, is a sin. So, if smoking is against the law, than, it would be a sin. Yeah?

Nah man, it says in the bible that you're suppose to obey the law, but not if it intervenes with what god says, and in the bible god says it's okay in a few different verses. A lot of "Christians" that state that they're Christian, don't know shit about the religion and open their big mouth about things they haven't actually read, just shit they've been told by uninformed figureheads.

Oh, well, idk. I'm not saying it with any authority, that's for sure. lol. From listening to, ummm... Christians or whatever... it seems like the bible says just about whatever you want it to, depending on your world outlook. Such a great coincidence for some people.

Yea, through out history a bunch of people has twisted it to say what they want it to, and then they manipulate people that don't want to take the time to read the bible themselves, it's a shame haha. But there are still some good ones out there that actually know what they're talking about.

The ancient annointing oil that king David was annointed with was part cannabis oil. [link to www.rense.com]

David wrote fondly of buds and sheaves and precious seeds, and hemp is native to Israel & Lebanon. Archeology has proven that marijuana was in common use at the time of Christ, and it was no issue then.

Genesis 1:29-30 says God gave EVERY green herb bearing seed.

"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 anymore"- Ezekiel 34:29.

Romans 14:2-4 tells Christians not to judge those Christians that use herb as Christians, for the Lord is their judge. Modern altered versions changed the word herb to vegetable without any basis in any original translation, which makes no sense, except to reinforce their global persecution of herb users.

Those who say marijuana produces an evil consciousness, should see the favorable mentions of trance states in Acts 22:17 & Acts 10:10 and Numbers 24:4/16.

Marijuana lowers blood pressure and calms the brain waves to a more meditative state, therefore is a sacrament provably, to aid in acheiving trance visions.

No church has succeeded in legalizing marijuana as sacrament yet, proving that freedom of religion is but an illusion. But they allow animal sacrifices and such atrcities.
