I have to admit, a bible full of weed is the only useful bible I've ever heard of. :thumbsup:

All myths and fantasies. Stories told to kids while sitting around fires, nothing more.
Here is one that refers to using cannabis for making anointing oil to be used on the sick.
"Moreover The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 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 cane(this word in original hebrew was kineboisin which is where the word cannabis comes from) two hundred and fifty shekels, And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil." (Exodus 30:22-25 KJV)
This recipe is still in use today, although some substitute calamus for cannabis because of a mis-translation or prejudiced views.
It was also used to make incense that the high priest would breath in before he went into the holy of holies in the tabernacle from the old testament.
I think I remember from Torah, it's forbidden for anyone but the Levitical Priests to make the Holy Anointing oil. I'm going to have to see if I can find the instructions for the oil.. You have to remember too, you can't just take a single verse from Scripture without taking all of them into account. I really try not to take text out of context, and read the whole chapter.
Maybe that's why they leave those Bibles in those motels... They all have a Coke machine but there is never a gas station nearby to get some rolling papers ! God bless the new testament... i smoked the shite outta that chapter !!! I'm working my way to the Jewish chapter as we speak !!!Quote:

At least it is for me. I believe that we all have the right to commune with God in our own way.Quote:

In the case of as you say, we are all Kings and Priests, it does agree with all of scripture. :)
I have communed as you say while smoking and yes, it is wonderful. But I also believe that we have to ask how does Yah want our worship? Many times we see in Scripture how the Children of Israel were punished because they tried mixing what they thought was acceptable practice of worship and what Yah expects from us. The first example is the Golden Calf incident.
I read Scripture very literally, and if it says don't eat swine, I don't eat swine. But I haven't read anywhere, don't smoke Cannabis when in worship. But I do find an instance where the sons of Aaron came to the Temple to do their job, they came drunk and didn't do the Holy Incense the correct way, and were instantly killed. There are Blessings when we obey and curses or punishment if we do not. He made them an example. I must say, the Children of Israel were a stubborn bunch. I don't want to offend my Abba by being arrogant enough to think I can come to him in my own way. When you love God, you want to obey. What did Jesus say? If you love me, keep my commandments. :) Don't smoke Cannabis in Worship isn't one of them. :)
