Ok... I'm sorry to be so frank about this... But you're an idiot if you think any one of those verses backs up smoking weed for recreational use. Note: I did not say it wasn't acceptable for medicinal purposes... But only if the person is strictly using it for medicine... Not just to get wrecked.
What about Ephesians 5:18 "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;"
That word "filled" in the Greek gives a strong picture of being totally controlled by the Spirit. We're not to be drunk with wine because that diminishes the Spirit's control over us. If God doesn't want us getting drunk, what makes you think it's acceptable in His eyes for us to get stoned?
Also, What about our bodies being the temples of the Holy Spirit? Smoking anything defiles your body due to the damage it causes to your lungs.
I'm not going to take the time to go through all the verses you use that supposedly prove smoking weed is an act of worship because I don't have the time. You really need to check yourself though. The Bible makes it clear that if we're going to teach the Bible, we're going to be held at a higher level of accountability, and be judged more strictly than those who don't.
My point is: Make sure you know what you're talking about before you go around spreading lies like this.

Since I believe we are from God this Ministry we will not be stopped. Thats a fact.

Yeah... Notice it says "<b>IF</b> it is from God." I highly doubt God would back a ministry that directly contradicts His Word, such as yours does. Your ministry, my friend, is not of God. And if you have a problem with me saying that - to bad. I, myself, am a Christian, and I know my Bible. If you want to argue with me, that's fine... But I'm telling you now, the Bible in no way endorses smoking weed for pleasure/recreation (medicinal would be a different story).
