I am a christian, although I believe in conditional immortality which is a little different. Any other christians here? If so, do you keep your toking private or public with your christian friends?
i know a ton of closeted atheists/agnostics who toke but keep that portion of their life completely separate from their christian cohorts
Its funny I remember trying to argue that weed is a sin but I could never really come up with a real reason.
I have a friend who is a christian that I smoke up with. I find it kind of weird, but I really have no clue why I feel that way - there is nothing wrong with it besides the illegality.
Me, It's not a sin. It's funny, the government is against weed more than Christianity. They hate Christians, but yet they teach you as children (if your a christian) that it is a sin to smoke. The only reason people say that, is because it is illegal. God HATES the human law. I am a full on Christian toker.
Well I'm Catholic. And like the last guy said, i couldnt come out with the reason why its a sin, and its nothin thats gonna stop me from receiving communion
Not according to the Bible: Romans 13:1-5 - God ordained governing authorities. To resist them is to resist God's ordinance. Those who disobey may be punished by the authorities, but they also have harmed their conscience toward God. 1 Peter 2:13,14 - Submit to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake
Christian anarchism - Anarchopedia above is a decent description of christian anarchism. i do consider myself a christian anarchist. especially in america, i don't see how anyone could call themselves a christian and a supporter of the government. unfortunately, things like war, bigotry, and non-tolerance for peaceful drug users/dealers has become characteristic of the modern christian church. it's really very sad. it's also really sad that i have to hide me cannabis usage from all my christian friends and family, because otherwise they would flip out and possible no longer speak to me. sometimes i think i should just come out about it and then i'll see who my real friends are. anyway, how could god condemn such a beautiful thing as weed?
I would take that bible you are reading and throw it in the trash. Our government is Luciferian, just like the Nazis were. Rom 13: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. God clearly gave us every herb bearing seed for 'meat' in Genisis. Gen 1:29 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. Smoking is no sin. Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. ... Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: Mat 15:20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Two words, two sentences: Thank you. So true. These verses pretty much slap every christian against weed in the face. "but which cometh out the mouth" Maybe we should ghost hit the shit? XD Keep tokin.
