Jesus is against cannabis.

[Blitzed]

I have no problem with Jesus using cannabis. I do have a problem when people spread unverified rumors about the bible. At least cross analize.

Well, sir I would like you too show me proof for every story in the bible, to me the bible is the BIGGEST unverified rumor of all time, and many people have fallen victim to it.

Oh yeah, and if Jesus never used cannabis, then he was never the Christ, just a carpenter.

Third, The Hebrew University in Jerusalem is pro-homosexual.They even have the Hebrew University "Gay and Lesbian Student Union." This automatically should cause suspicion.

I am not sure how to take this.

I think Ill just ask you to clarify what you meant with this instead of jumping to any conclusions.

I don't think the bible ever stated any bias against cannabis, but even if it does, who cares? It's not like there's any proof that the bible holds any truth in reality anyway (not trying to start an argument).

Well the Bible clearly states that homosexuality is wrong, and anyone who "interperets" the bible to come to such a great doctrinal error should immediately cause immense suspicion as to whether they come to the right conclusion about something even harder to discern such as this.

And how can anyone agree that homosexuality is wrong on a moral level? No one, only with religion. Anyone that claims this and thinks that they have, or embrace, better morals is beyond my help.

Calamus is a common marsh plant. In ezekial God becomes angry when they didn't bring him any "exotic calamus from distant lands." Cannabis was grown distant from the tabernacle (most likely) during this time. Saying that calamus was the correct translation of kaneh-bosm when translating from Hebrew to Greek (the words differ by an accent mark, easy mistake) would have rendered Gods' complaint ridiculous. "Though has not broughten me any common marsh plant from distant lands." (After this episode the tents were filled with smoke).

Here is the passage from Ezekiel. This is the only mention of calamus in ezekiel. It is part of a prophecy directed towards Tyre. There is no mention of God getting angry because they couldn't find calamus. There is no proof to support whether calamus was grown near the tabernacle. There is no mention of the tent being filled with smoke. (let alone smoke of marijauna). There was incense used by the preists, but there is no proof whatsoever that it was marijuana or that it even hints toward it.)

ezekiel 27

17Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.

18Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.

19Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.

The micture they used with calamus was not for anything other than anointing the preists and items in the temple. That's it. If anyone else used it, they would be cut off from Israel as I pointed out before.

Also remember that the same word used for calamus is used several times as "reed" or "water plant", several times. cannabis is not a water plant, it's not a reed.

clearly the man was a mystical hippie... long hair... beard... usually happy most of the time chilled out and performed "magic" sounds like he rocked the ganja to me... anyone disagree?
me being a jackass aside the bible says "And God said, ...to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 1:29-31"

And for the record books I am not a Christian and don't believe in "God" as the bible states "he" is although i believe in a greater power nor do i know if i believe there is any validity in the book of Genesis. that is to settle the argument of anyone debating weather God thinks cannabis is "sinfull" we arnt smoking the tree of knowledge here...
