Weed And Christianity?

i dunno, have you read the bible?
 
does it say not to smoke buds?
 
 
i think it says something along the lines of not over-indulging in anything, but that's about it

 

There are multiple threads that address this if you want to search them. There is absolutely nothing in the Bible about cannabis except it being used in the holy ointment. If its good enough for holy ointment its good enough for me.

 

There are two possibilities.

1) God created weed and made it medicine because he wanted us to grow, smoke it, and question human authority.

or

2) God made weed the forbidden fruit we must resist because he wants us all to follow boring traditions and never question man's laws.

I'm going to go with door number one.

 

Everything's wrong according to who's reading the bible.

 

What about the third possibility, which is the fact that the bible was written by goat fuckers with very little knowledge of the world, and we shouldn't use it to determine how we behave morally. 

 

Where did you get that information from?

 

Where did you get the information that the bible is legit?

 

All I asked was where you got that info from. Why are you so bitter?

There are plenty of scriptures giving information that the Bible gives eye opening points to it being truth.

Have you ever read the Bible?

 

I'm not bitter at all. You are projecting. I have read the bible. I also encourage you to research "Circular logic" because you just used it. 

 

Will do.

How can you make a statement about people who wrote the bible were not very knowledgable of the world around us when scriptures say things like this....
1.Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of invisible atoms. Here, Scripture tells us that the "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."(2Cor 4:18)

2. Medical science has only recently discovered that blood-clotting in a newborn reaches its peak on the eighth day, then drops. The Bible consistently says that a baby must be circumcised on the eighth day.(Luke 2:21)

3. At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or a giant (1500 B.C.), the Bible spoke of the earth's free float in space: "He...hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7).

4. The prophet Isaiah also tells us that the earth is round: "It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth" (Isaiah 40:22). This is not a reference to a flat disk, as some skeptic maintain, but to a sphere. Secular man discovered this 2,400 years later. At a time when science believed that the earth was flat, is was the Scriptures that inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world (see Proverbs 3:6 footnote).

5. God told Job in 1500 B.C.: "Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?" (Job 38:35). The Bible here is making what appears to be a scientifically ludicrous statement-that light can be sent, and then manifest itself in speech. But did you know that radio waves travel at the speed of light? This is why you can have instantaneous wireless communication with someone on the other side of the earth. Science didn't discover this until 1864 when "British scientist James Clerk Maxwell suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing" (Modern Century Illustrated Encyclopedia).

6. Job 38:19 asks, "Where is the way where light dwells?" Modern man has only recently discovered that light (electromagnetic radiation) has a "way," traveling at 186,000 miles per second.

7. Science has discovered that stars emit radio waves, which are received on earth as a high pitch. God mentioned this in Job 38:7: "When the morning stars sang together..."

8. "Most cosmologists (scientists who study the structures and evolution of the universe) agree that the Genesis account of creation, in imagining an initial void, may be uncannily close to the truth" (Time, Dec. 1976).

9. Solomon described a "cycle" of air currents two thousand years before scientists "discovered" them. "The wind goes toward the south, and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits" (Ecclesiastes 1:6).

10. Science expresses the universe in five terms: time, space, matter, power, and motion. Genesis 1:1,2 revealed such truths to the Hebrews in 1450 B.C.: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth . . . And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." The first thing God tells man is that He controls of all aspects of the universe.

11. The great biological truth concerning the importance of blood in our body's mechanism has been fully comprehended only in recent years. Up until 120 years ago, sick people were "bled," and many died because of the practice. If you lose your blood, you lose your life. Yet Leviticus 17:11, written 3,000 years ago, declared that blood is the source of life: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood."

12. All things were made by Him (see John 1:3), including dinosaurs. Why then did the dinosaur disappear? The answer may be in Job 40:15–24. In this passage, God speaks about a great creature called "behemoth." Some commentators think this was a hippopotamus. However, the hippo's tail isn't like a large tree, but a small twig. Following are the characteristics of this huge animal: It was the largest of all the creatures God made; was plant-eating (herbivorous); had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree. It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, drank massive amounts of water, and was not disturbed by a raging river. He appears impervious to attack because his nose could pierce through snares, but Scripture says, "He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." In other words, God caused this, the largest of all the creatures He had made, to become extinct.

13. Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the terrible death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. As many as 30 percent died after giving birth. Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, then, without washing their hands, go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before examinations, and the death rate immediately dropped to 2 percent. Look at the specific instructions God gave His people for when they encounter disease: "And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself even days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean" (Leviticus 15:13). Until recent years, doctors washed their hands in a bowl of water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. However, the Bible says specifically to wash hands under "running water."

14. Luke 17:34–36 says the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur while some are asleep at night and others are working at daytime activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night at the same time.

15. "During the devastating Black Death of the fourteenth century, patients who were sick or dead were kept in the same rooms as the rest of the family. People often wondered why the disease was affecting so many people at one time. They attributed these epidemics to ‘bad air' or ‘evil spirits.' However, careful attention to the medical commands of God as revealed in Leviticus would have saved untold millions of lives. Arturo Castiglione wrote about the overwhelming importance of this biblical medical law: ‘The laws against leprosyin Leviticus 13 may be regarded as the first model of sanitary legislation' (A History of Medicine)." Grant R. Jeffery, The Signature of God With all these truths revealed in Scripture,how could a thinking person deny that the Bible is supernatural in origin? There is no other book in any of the world's religions (Vedas, Bhagavad-Gita, Koran, Book of Mormon, etc.) that contains scientific truth. In fact, they contain statements that are clearly unscientific. Hank Hanegraaff said, "Faith in Christ is not some blind leap into a dark chasm, but a faith based on established evidence." (11:3 continued)

 

I'm going to have to stop you after number 1 buddy. I didn't even read further than that. You said "things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." To compare that to the Scientific discovery of atoms is being intellectually dishonest at the least. You are taking an extremely vague statement and comparing it to something that we discovered through Science. If what you quoted was truly prophetic and was an obvious hint at atoms, someone would have said that to prove the bible BEFORE atoms were discovered by Science. On a related note, did god not know that we were going to call them Atoms in the future. Instead of making of vague prediction, he could have said that we will discover atoms. That would have been closer to evidence. You are playing mental gymnastics to make it fit. It's called Hindsight Bias.

Dude, you just cut and pasted a lot of nonsense from the web. I just googled: "13. Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 1845, a young doctor in Vienna named" and got THOUSANDS of hits where it's just nonsense copy and pasted for people's internet debates.
 
Do you not see how regurgitating information doesn't make it actually correct?

 

I just read god and thought it was funny enough that there could possibly be one.

No it is not wrong according to the Bible...dude everyone smokes, all great leaders get high, all great business people get high ( not all of course but definitely some ) ...just don't let weed define you and understand how it affects you and then decide if its what you want

 

Do you not see your ignorance, in the subject that you posted about, is showing?

 

 
Hmm... my degree in Comparative Religion from the University of Washington says differently, sport. Good try though. Go back to your youth pastor and explain that there are people on the internet who don't believe in your god and see if he can give you some more links to use.
