Christian for Cannabis

[MastaChronic]

idk where its found in the bible.but.i know that jesus said "it is not what goes into the mouth of the man that defileth him, but what comes out of the mouth of the man that defileth him"
he lived among cannabis eaters and was speaking in reference to them.

While I'm a Christian and I do smoke, I don't feel the need to mystify it (my cannabis use) anymore than I would my taste for beer. It's just something that (in moderation) is a harmless form of recreation - though I will say that some of the best "pondering" I have done has been with a couple of drinks or a few tokes of some nice herb in me, so I guess it can be something more than recreational in that respect. Though, I also think the opposite can be true - I know plenty of people who think anything that comes to mind while they smoke is "profound", when the truth is they're just wrecked and don't know the difference anymore.

I think that is well said Sharer. I do enjoy the recreational side of the drug but I also greatly benefit from the medicinal values as well.

People can try to read stuff into every verse in the Bible, whether it is about flowers or herbs or the land of Cannan, or whatever. But the fact is marijuana/cannabis and its psychedelic effects are not clearly referred to anywhere in the Christian Scriptures. I believe people who say it is strictly forbidden and people who say it is highly encouraged in the Scriptures are both reaching and reading things into the Scriptures.

That being said, alcohol is mentioned a lot in Scriptures, and quite clearly at that. There is no need to read anything into verses about alcohol and it is quite clear that Christ not only made wine, but he enjoyed it himself. It is also clear that getting sloppy drunk, however, is a sin. ("Do not be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Holy Spirit")

Given that marijuana is no more dangerous (and probably is less dangerous) then alcohol, I therefore presume it is okay in God's book... in moderation. Just like anything else I think the weed can become a "god" of sorts, and Christians who partake should definitely know to keep it in its place... a medicine or recreational drug to be used in moderation.

How many of you cannabis smokers are Christian and believe it to be a sacrement? I personally believe it was used by Christ, as the word "Christ" means the annointed one. In ancient times the word "Chist" or "Messiah" was only given to someone who has been annointed with the Holy Annointing Oil of Israel, and was strictly prohibited to the Kings and Priests. A look at Exodus 30 talks about the Holy Oil and it's ingredients wich include cassia, myrh, cinnamon, "calamus", and olive oil...

Now calamus was band by the FDA because it contains a poison, why would God command a poison to be used on his people? If you look at the origiginal language in wich the bible was written (Aramaic) you can see the word is not calamus but "quneh-bosm" and the second translation (Hebrew) the word translates as "kaneh-bosm". If you look in the Websters Hebrew dictionary this translates as cannabis and its' singular form "kannebos" wich sounds remarkably similar to cannabis! Kaneh translating as "hemp" and bosm translating as "aromatic". This has been confirmed by the authoritive Hebrew University in Israel (they have the most say on the Hebrew Language).

Strikingly the three wise men who visited at Jesus's birth were considered to be of the Zoroastrian faith. The Zoroastrian's drank a drink called "Haoma" wich has been documented to include cannabis. They're profit foretold a King would come for all mankind.

In Exodus God commands Moses to pour this oil over everything in the tabernacle, and on the incense alter (a.k.a. smoke). "And the tents were filled with smoke".

Herodus, Greek, commented on the scythians act of throwing cannabis on hot coals and trapping the smoke in tents wich he said made them howl with lafter. The scythians, prior known as the "ashkanaz" were relatives of Noah (ark dude).

It was a common Jewish ritual to pass around 22,000 incense holders among 60,000-80,000 men in the temple of Solomn... then they would go and have the biggest meal of the week as theyre Friday night tradition (munchies???).

Canna (the promised land of milk and honey) has been though to have contain large cannabis harvest. Canna short for canna...bis?

Re-discovered gnostic texts hid in caves from the flames of the Roman Catholic church during the Dark Ages hid their scrolls in caves and they talk about the hoily oil containing itense physcoactive effects as your entire body is literal one big organ.

5-7 are holy numbers in the bible (number of leaves on a pot leaf???)

"For I have given you every green herb bearing seed after its' own kind and to you it shall be fore MEAT"
cannabis is a herb bearing seed after its' own kind; it's green

"In later times SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAIT, giving heed to FALSE DOCTRINES and abstaining from MEATS(refer meats to the prior verse) in wich I have given you"

"I will go into my dwelling place and consider like a clear heat upon herbs, and when the buds are harvested..."

"Herb for the service of men":rasta:

if U like t.v. much more than God like for example if U decide to saty home on a sunday watchin t.v. instead of goin to church while havin the chance then dats a sin is kind of like idolizing so if U use weed that way then thats a sin as well but its just another leaf that God created but we can't choose that over God so my point is fillin UR body up wit happines from weed its not a sin da only way for it to be a sin is to idolize it and choose it before God
