Lets start from the beginning. The Bible has both an Old and a New Testament. The Old is the old law..and the New is the new law. We'll consider the OT "Dark" because of its draconian laws....and the NT "Light" for its love and acceptance of sinners.

Then this man Y'shua of Nazareth comes along in the mid 20s-30s AD preaching love and acceptance. He went AGAINST the established religious order.

My research and beliefs have led me to believe that Jesus came to fully explain the purpose of religion...that it is basically a test and it is not really needed...as love is the way to God...not rules and regulations as the OT concerned itself with. He displayed the balance of "rules and love". Yes rules are put in place...put you learn why they are broken.

Jesus was than crucified as a criminal. In the Synoptic Gospels (Matt-Mark-Luke), Jesus is crucified because he cleanses the Temple. In John..which is really a Gnostic influenced Gospel which was almost ousted from the Bible, Jesus is crucified for raising Lazarus. Understand the differences too between the Gospels as there are contradictions to them.

Jesus was a rebel, plain and simple. He forgave others, where the law said to condemn. HE SHOWED COMPASSION!!!! That is integration of both light/dark. Jesus' god was not the God of destruction or the dead...but of life.

No pain...no gain. We need evil and bad stuff in this world so we can realize that it is the struggle which makes us grow spiritually. Jesus discovered this and taught it. As much as I don't like it in my current mindset here on Earth..I accept it.

You still didn't answer how it was justifiable that Jesus wanted gays and rape victims stoned to death...
How the fuck is that 'showing compassion' ?

Jesus loves the herb.

damn right, like even if the religions tell us not to use it because it will harm us, back in the prophets and messiahs and all those peoples time, no one know that it could harm you in that kinda way, im muslim and it states that we cant drink but it doesnt say anything about tobacco let alone marijuana which some people think is safer than tobacco

LOL. Thanks for the rep. Rep you as well. By the way, I love your name.

Just as a side note, it's mfqr with a Q, not a G :).

To all who are debating in this thread:

You're all here on a website dedicated to the insemination of information about cannabis. Unless you want to quit the consumption of cannabis based on something imaginary, then this debate is pointless. You also might want to realize that if Jesus is against cannabis, and thinks it's bad, then he's obviously wrong.

JESUS ISNT AGAINST CANNABIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in no form or fashion. i know from firsthand expierences biyatches!!!!! i know jesus firsthand, and he be smokin that bud all day long.

im joking, but at the same time im being serious. jesus smoked bud.

In my humble opinion, live your life the way you think you should. God, if he exists, wouldnt have given you free will if he didnt want you to seek things out and draw your own conclusions.

Its rather presumptious of anyone, regaurdless of religion, to try and speculate what someone from over 2000 years ago (be he the son of god, or not) would say about a present day situation.

Next you're going to try to tell me that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was weed too, and the fruit that Adam and Eve ate was really just a fruity nug that they smoked.

I doubt Ancient Judaea did not know of the intoxicating effects of Cannabis. And Israel is not complete desert, I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not :thumbsup:

For some reason I read the thread title as "Jesus is against cannibals."

I think I need to go to bed.
