Question for Bible believing Christians
As a Bible believing Christian, what is the reasoning you follow to justify smoking marijuana in a country that it is illegal to do so? This is in light of the Bible clearly stating that to disobey the law of the land is to disobey him.

Question for Bible believing Christians
What kind of god would make pot and then tell you not to smoke it?
None that I know of. I never read "Though shall burnith in hell for puffing thy Jay."
Besides, church is waaaay better high. IMO.

Question for Bible believing Christians
A story in Exodus tells of how the egyptian ruler commanded the death of all males born (a law of that time) the midwives did not listen to their gov, and knew that it was wrong to kill even though that was their orders. God noticed this action and rewarded the women for doing right in His eye and not the laws.
God given laws are not the same as man made laws.
If all the rulers of the world set laws for evil intentions, would that make it right to sin?

Question for Bible believing Christians
(again this is specifically for "Bible believing" people)
so are you all saying you don't think god cares that you are breaking the law? or you are saying that law is no longer applicable in this day? it was not clear from the posts...
from all i have read the bible is very clear, all throughout, not just one verse, about obeying authority. what would make this law an exception to that?
as for the question about if your government is asking you to sin... well that is another topic completely as they are asking you to not smoke, not asking you to do something wrong.
(please don't take this as being antagonistic... i believe in the wisdom of the bible completely, and just find this a challenging issue to ignore as smoking is a regular part of my life and is illegal where i live)\"keep on living, keep on loving, keep on smoking\" ~cody chesnutt

Question for Bible believing Christians
also, some people are confusing the angle. the angle is NOT asking if the act of smoking weed is immoral. i don't believe the bible says anything about it being immoral and i bet jesus did smoke weed. i don't think he was as boring and religious as most people portray him.
the angle is coming from the fact that it is illegal to do so and that violates core biblical issues of authority, obedience, rebellion, etc.\"keep on living, keep on loving, keep on smoking\" ~cody chesnutt
