Christians on board?

Hey all,

I've been surprised to see several posts on here coming from a Christian perspective. A Bible-believing Christian myself, I'm curious how many of you are like me, not just Christians because we were baptized or have the surname Smith or whatever, but cannabis users who actually practice and live the Christian faith. I include all forms, Gnostic, Coptic, Orthodox, Catholic, Rastafari, you name it. And please no bashing of anyone else's choice. If you are non-Christian feel free to say so too, but please keep your comments about your own life only. I'd also like to hear how you reconcile cannabis use and your faith, if yours is one in which the use of cannabis is generally considered a sin. Thanks, and I look forward to all the great posts out there!!

I live by common law standards, the original law. Don't hurt anyone else, don't break or take their belongings, and don't engage in fraud in your contracts. Don't impede on anyone else's rights unless they, directly conflict with the law. If everyone could abide by these rules, the world would be much safer, and everyone would be free.

I reconcile my cannabis use by the fact that I'm not hurting anyone. If someone doesn't like it, they have the right not to like it, but they shouldn't have the right to impose their dislikes upon me, as my cannabis use doesn't affect them at all.

Christian here!!! :jointsmile:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life"

Common Law is not "Law", it's the exact laws that i've mentioned up there.

Do not harm any person.
Do not damage or take another's property.
Do not engage in fraud in your contracts.

That's all their is to common law. It's the original law from many countries, The States included.

Well... i dont know if i can say im Christhian... i was born and raised Christian, but then i left my parents house, and didnt went to the church anymore. In the meanwhile, i started to learn about oriental religions, mainly buddhism, and also the way of the knowledge (don Juan teachings), so now im a complex mix of many religions.
But i try to merge them as nicely as possible, so for anybody that looks at me from the outside, would say im very Christian... what is partially true. Im Christian, but not only Christian.
And i dont think the act of smoking weed is a sin. The sin is what you do while stoned. If you smoke and do wrong things, the wrong things you did are the sin, not the fact of smoking itself.
But for me weed always was a great help for the spirituality. After i started to smoke, i became a FAR more spiritual person. So, for me, weed is a God's gift, to allow we poor humans to get closer to Him and His knowledge and wisdom.

Well, I'm a red letter Christian, I only focus on what Jesus had to say. I don't go to church but do go to Worship sometimes to network and make new friends, I don't think weed really interferes with my spirituality or helps, the only things I keep in mind is that the only thing Jesus wants you to do for him is help the needy and not brag about it, by helping someone in need and then blurting it out. You will not be rewarded... but, if you do a good deed and keep it to yourself and the person you helped, father will reward you in the afterlife. For more info read through Matthew 5-7 :)

Happy Tokin' =]

Good replies everyone! txbuddz, being born and raised in TX myself I think that's a pretty cool avatar, although, it does look a bit like sacrilege to me. ;) I'll accept it on this messageboard but if I see it in front of your house I'll have some harsh words for you, lol. xbeadsx, don't the Xs mean you are straightedge? I'm curious if you make an exception for pot or if I'm misreading that. Peace.
