The absolute truth about Marijuana

AHH!! You must study before you speak, to eat means to consume in fire and or smoke bro, this you should know, but for now I gotta go, so you will have time to figure this out and then maybe become a pro yo!!

Justify eating a green plant? Corruptable flesh being an incorruptable Temple? This sounds like the very same things others say but I don't get it??

Why would I have to justify myself for eating a green plant??

Somebody please help me to understand, are there no vegetarians in this land???

Another quote is "take a little wine for the stomachs sake", yet another passage instructs not to drink in excess. If you know you're doing something unhealthy, then you know it's wrong. Just tell the flippin truth, you like to get stoned. It's 1:30 am and I'm too tired to referance. This is the end time Signal, right? Maybe you should go wait on a hillside for the rapture, and bring a doobie for Christ. Repent sayith the Lord. Whatever.

Bitter herbs are of a specific class that does not include merijuana.

The our bodies are a temple of God and we should not pollute them can be taken in many different ways, for example, my sisters boyfriend is going to be a youth minister, he goes to Liberty, which is Jerry Faldwells school, yet he believes that it doesn't literally mean to pollute your body with smoke etc. Nowhere in the bible does it say, DO NOT SMOKE. It does however say not to become intoxicated. Im not saying that me believing smoking is not wrong is right. Im just saying ive seen NOTHING in the bible that says 100% smoking marijuana is wrong.

Awesome

how is something that you perceived from a translation of something that someone else perceived.... absolute truth? God drowned people for being bad, so why would a catholic not like the death penalty? You can distort the bible for any purpose ya know.

i dont believe in bible. life is so less complicated that way. i smoke weed, drink beer, fuck girls and play guitar. how bout that?

A little research turns up that a more accurate translation would read "bitter greens", not "bitter herbs." The Israelites were instructed to consume this, along with the roasted lamb & unleavened bread, for Passover. This continued to be the arrangement for all future Passover celebrations as well. And though it's not specified which bitter herbs, or for what reason, many take it to be as a reminder to the Israelites of the bitterness of Egyptian bondage.

But ya know, I'm more in mellow's camp anyway. Even if the Bible came right out & said to roll a big'un, um... well, it's a book written by men anyway. Some boring, some actually very wise, & some confusing (hello Revelation). But ya know, it was still written by a bunch of common men, so why take it so darn seriously to begin with?

just because god made weed doesn't mean he wanted you to go off and get a buzz from it. why the fuck dont peopel get this

"Nothing is absolute" = absolute, it would be more correct to say there are very few absolutes.

Christianity is just one crazy religion among thousands.

Crazy in some ways, but it has redeeming qualities.
