Words Of God

[beachguy in thongs]

In Exodus 30:23, the Lord's ingredients for the annointing oil, as said to Moses, is 12 1/2 lbs. of myrrh, 6 1/4 lbs. of cinnamon, 6 1/4 lbs. of CANNABIS, 12 1/2 lbs. of cassia, and 1 gal. of olive oil.

Isaiah 43:24, "You have not brought me Pot or pleased me with the fat from sacrifices. Instead, you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your faults."

Jeremiah 6:20, "There is no use now in offering me Pot from Sheba. Keep your Pot! I cannot accept your roaches! Your roaches have no sweet fragrance for me."

Ezekiel 27:19, "Greeks from Uzal came to trade for your merchandise. Wrought iron, cassia, and Kannabis were bartered for your wares."

I hope I've not offended anyone, if so, oh well. Calamus, sweet calamus, and cane all lead to the Greek "kan" or "reed".

[HeLTeR.SKeLTeR]

are you serious dude???? so what people do when they get to that part of the bible?? do they rip off the page?




Looks like we know who was stoned when making all this o_0

[beachguy in thongs]

I don't think the Government reads The Bible.

[vipper of vip]

From the mouths of the prophets. Does anyone know the Quran, does it say similar things?

[beachguy in thongs]

I think Gnostic gospels talk about it, the Quran (Koran) must have a "tree of life".

[ShamanicHippy]

"tree of life".
I smoked some tree of life like an hour ago.

God is cruel

[adfsghjn]

Wow people are gullible. That's not really what it is. Google Exodus 30:23.

[beachguy in thongs]

God is cruel


He gave you Life, didn't He? You owe Him, at least, speculation of His existence.

[beachguy in thongs]

The whole Bible is here, I don't know what point-of-view it has, but it's the New Advent...???

[tokosan]

he h8s me.

why did you kill my puppy god, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Ganj]

Wow people are gullible. That's not really what it is. Google Exodus 30:23.
Yes. The people are gullible. Especially the millions upon millions of Christians who believe they're living their life the way God intended. Beachguy is just as right as the first ones who wrote the bible. Which bible are you looking at anyway? The new one or the old one?

[beachguy in thongs]

People twist the words to show God's hate, but they don't change cane to cannibus.

[adfsghjn]

If you are serious, I would like to see some proof.

I've always thought of the bible as being written by a bunch of normal guys that wanted it to be true. I'd love to believe there is a god, but there is no veritable proof. Seriously, the Bible is less believeable than professional wrestling or Sci-Fi Channel Original movies.

[beachguy in thongs]

There's more to the Bible than just the story of God. I don't know if it's a collection of works that had already existed and just placed in different words, but these Gods and Messiahs are all the same people. They're who we need to be. It doesn't matter if they are real or not. If we can become one, then we're real. That's a gnostics point-of-view.

[heavymetal101]

If you would read the Bible you would see that the things it say are coming true. And we are you people looking on the internet to read the Bible?? You dont have one at your house? They pass out Bibles for free dude.

[beachguy in thongs]

Various authors say things are going to happen.

[Roadking]

You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
Ah, if you live or if you die

God damn, The Pusher
God damn, I say The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man

You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With the love grass in his hand
Oh but the pusher is a monster
Good God, he's not a natural man
The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream

God damn, The Pusher
God damn, God damn the Pusher
I said God damn, God, God damn The Pusher man

Well, now if I were the president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on The Pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

God damn The Pusher
Gad damn The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man

When I first started dating a girl named Stephanie, I'd call her Stephenwolf, occassionally. She never said anything about it.

Exodus 30:23 does indeed include cannabis in the holy annointing oil, early translations translated the original hebrew word "kanneh-bosm" into calumas when translating it into greek, calamus was banned by the fda because it is a poison, god wouldnt inlclude a poison in the holy annointing oil, the original word kaneh bosm, kaneh- means "reed" or "hemp" and bosm means "aromatic", kaneh bosm is plural and the singular word for it is kannebos, this translates into cannabis! 6-9 pounds of it were used in the holy annointing oil along with a hin of olive oil, cinnamon, myrh and some other spices, originally it was to be used only for the high priests and kings along with every thing in the tabernacle, but other gnostic wrighting say that jesus distributed it freely to everyone when he came, Christ means the annointed one and as Christians were are the annointed ones!

When I was a kid, I allways got a kick out of the song of solomon (I think). It's the book that talks about sex every other page. There are poems dedicated to tits and ass. I allways thought it was funny that church folk are allways giving people a hard time about sex, but it's everywhere in the bible. I can't remember which king it was (david maybe?) was wanting to bang a chick he saw taking a bath so he had her husband killed so he could fuck her. And this was supposed to be a noble and holy king. Whatever.

[Oneironaut]

Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
Whether or not calamus refers to cannabis I don't know, but I wouldn't recommend taking Exodus too seriously, seeing as how it also tells you the correct way to sell your daughter into slavery.

And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

this is true he was a holy king at frst but he commited a great sin wich led to his death

[mont974x4]

Don't over argue or over think the biblical issue of cannabis. Keep it simple and straight forward. As a Christian myself I have started working to educate other Christians as to the unjust treatment of marijuana. Start with the basics. In Genesis 1 and 2 we find the creation account. God made all plants and all plants are good. Marijuana is a plant and is therefore good.

There's no need to go much further than that.

Yeah really. Another Bible story I get a kick out of is Sodom and Gomorrah. Some nutjobs point out how this story proves God hates homosexuality, but I don't think they've read the story too carefully.

To paraphrase the story for those unfamiliar with it:

Two angels come to Sodom and meet a dude named Lot. Lot invites them over to his place, feeds them and offers them a place to sleep. Then a crowd of men forms around Lot's house and demands that he give up the angels so they can rape them. But since homosexuality is wrong, Lot offers his two virgin daughters to the rapists instead. "I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes", he says. The crowd tries to drag Lot out of his house but the angels pull him back in. The angels then use their superpowers to blind the crowd and they bring Lot and his family out of the town before God destroys all the queers. After God smites Sodom and Gomorrah off the map, they move to a cave. But there's a problem: Lot's daughters want to have babies but there's nobody for them to fuck. So Lot's daughters get him drunk with wine and ride his big hard cock, then give birth to incest babies. Good thing they knew how to be sexually moral so they wouldn't be killed with all the gays!

[mont974x4]

I think the cities were actually destroyed for their arrogance...not the specific sin itself. That's not there with the bulk of the story. I'll look up the reference for you.

[Oneironaut]

But why was Lot saved? If you ask me, offering up your daughters for rape is far more smiteworthy than being arrogant. I know a lot of arrogant people, but I don't think it's okay to hurt them for that. However, if I met a guy who offered his daughters to a bunch of rapists and went unpunished, I'd have no problem kicking his ass.

[mont974x4]

Isaiah 3:9 kind of points to this.

[benagain]

The bible is a tricky thing. Some people live by it word for word, but I think they're missing the big picture at times. If you analyze every sentance, then all you're gonna end up doing is getting into a holy war. The overall point of peace love and understanding gets swept aside at times to fight over the meaning of three words. I don't have a problem with regligion. I think that when applied correctly it can be a healthy uplifting system, but if there is a god, I don't think he would take too kindly to what some people do in his name just because they only looked and a part of the story and not the whole story itself.

Try this for the Sodom question.

[Oneironaut]

Well, the Bible is such a tricky thing because in some parts it does promote love and peace, and if you just want to look at those parts that's good I guess. But in other parts it promotes sexism, slavery, and other things which directly contradict the principle of treating your fellow man as you would like to be treated. If you take the Bible seriously you can't just gloss over those parts.

If you ask me, we should just use respect and logic to form our moral codes, instead of relying on an ancient text of fictional stories. Anyone who cares about others can clearly see that being peaceful and loving is good, and that being sexist and owning slaves is bad. We don't need mythology to tell us this stuff. And as long as the Bible is still promoted as a source of morals, sexism and slavery is being promoted as well, even if you don't intend it because you personally ignore those parts.

[beachguy in thongs]

Marijuana is Life, and one that affects our bodies unlike no other.

Try this for the Sodom question.
So the Sodomites were smitten because some of the men tried to rape the angels? Children were murdered by God because their fathers tried to rape some angels?! Obviously the children of Sodom had nothing to do with the crime, so why were they slaughtered?

[mont974x4]

It was the overall sinfullness of the cities. Not one specific sin. What you see is justice, evil being punished. I'm just glad we no longer live under the mosaic law. We no longer have to die for our sins becaue Christ was the final sacrifice. All that is necessary now is to believe in Him.

[Oneironaut]

So even the little babies were evil sinners? Sorry, I don't buy that.

And what if I don't believe in Christ? What if I just want a little evidence that he was who the Bible says he was? I don't like to just take things on faith. I simply can't make my brain accept something that I don't have sufficient evidence to believe.

I'm with you on this one. I beleive there was a guy called Jesus, and he had some good ideas. Past that I don't know what to beleive and don't really care too much. If there is a god that's all loving, then all he should care about is the affect we had on the world while we were here. I think that all we can do is try and treat people with kindness (how we want to be treated) and understanding. Try to make the world a little better and live your life the best way you can. That's all we can do anyway. Religion or not.

[Drolover]

People fucked up the bible by putting new words and stuff, the Quran is the only book I can trust because they are the true words of god.

[Drolover]

oops

[Oneironaut]

And what's the evidence for that?

[Drolover]

And what's the evidence for that?
cant you see that not all bibles are the same:confused:

[God v2.0]

I'd love to believe there is a god, but there is no veritable proof. Seriously, the Bible is less believable than professional wrestling or Sci-Fi Channel Original movies.

That was awesome! :thumbsup: I like to think of the bible as a code of morals, a way to live your life and also an example of the distinctions between good and evil, even though good can often be looked at as evil and evil can look like good.

Rather than believe some story that was supposed to have happened over 2000 years ago I'd rather draw my own conclusions about life and the universe and existence. If God needed us to believe in him then he would have communicated that to us somehow. And it wouldn't be in the form of a book that has been changed and revised over and over again.

Also if god is all powerful then why would he need US to believe in him? We're nothing compared to god right?

If he needed people to worship him then wouldn't he just make us do it instead of let us choose.

I really don't think that religion should have ANY affect on politics, policy or anything that affects me, and other people who don't want Christianity or some other bullshit religion FORCED down my throat. No offense if you are one of those fucked up in the head evangelistic cock-tards.

Whatever religion can munch my butt.
