I thank God that my state of imperfection does not exclude me from receiving his grace in my life. I suppose pot smoking christians aren't real popular in either group. People, being the common denominator in both, are quick to tear down those who are not like them.

To be frank, no, others at the church do not know that I smoke. If they did, I am sure they would disaprove of the practice. They also don't know, when I lose my temper, or exceed the speed limit. The point here is that we are all sinners in varying degrees of rebellion. I am not ashamed of smoking, many know I am christian and smoke pot.

I am not suprised to hear all the negative comments when you find out that I believe the Bible. They killed Jesus for his revelations. It's just the normal background noise. But, for those who have questions, there are answers. Nobody says you have to believe, but shouldn't you atleast consider this thing that provokes such a base response from so many.

Do I support gays? Why do you ask? Are you Gay? Are you trying to make the extrapulation that since I smoke pot (apparently wrong in your mind) that therefore I should be excepting of other wrongs. Should I condone stealing since I smoke pot? Of, course not. Thinly veiled attempt to draw me into another rhetorical baseless argument. Does the Bible condemn homosexuality? Yes it does. Does it condemn homosexuals? Only in the same way that all sin is rejected by God, but he offers a solution to those interested.

I am not against homosexuals. I have known and liked several gay people, but that does not mean I have to like the act of homosexuality. It is more loving to tell someone the truth about the destructive nature of their behavior, than to bow to social pressure to accept it as the norm. I don't think that I know any Christian homosexuals, but I am sure there are many. Should they have to accept that I smoke pot since they are homosexual? Obviously, one does not follow the other in logic. Clearly a ploy of divisiveness.

Ultimatley, the issue of how Scripture handles any topic is not a function of whether I smoke pot or not. It is true or untrue on its own merits.
