Christian for Cannabis

[klizaw]

I invite them in and refute everything they say with facts I've researched and it's a lot of fun. Try it!

Are you Christian meaning that you believe Jesus was born to a virgin, crucified to forgive all our sins, and then ascended into heaven?:wtf:

Or are you closer to the historical Christians that were a small sect that wanted to overthrow the Romans and corrupt Jewish officials and that Jesus was crucified because he was against the government?

You know that he had brothers and sisters and was married to Mary Magnolin and he didn't want to change the religion, just rid it of corruption. He wanted his brother James and Mary to take over the cause after his death.

He was a great man but equal to Ghandi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

:thumbsup:

You are absolutely correct but I wanted to add even more benefits. Because the 'Land of the free' won't allow any research to done on it except at the Mississippi College that still grows for 5 patients. But I have found a lot of scientific research from Canada, Holland, and a few others. Just before the 1937 Tax Stamp, the Dr's not knowing the propogand word 'marijuana' meant cannabis, they had just started discovering a wide range of health problems that cannabis would work great for. They had even discovered that the cannabanoids help fight cancer cells so they were very excited and then extrememly angry when they found out a few short days before the vote. They testified but it didn't matter because the whole point was to make a law that would help the police arrest Mexicans and then Blacks.
This plant is so amazing, besides the health benefits, and as a vegetarian afraid of soy, learning how much better the protien is in Hemp seeds makes me ecstatic.
It also produces cloth, constuction: higher quality than wood!, Fuel, and best yet, it's a crop you don't need to rotate because of it's root system and if So Cal would just plant some on the hills they woudln't have to worry about mudslides. They historically did that until 1937.

Is that the one Soma, the author of Organic Growing I believe and owns a shop in Amsterdam, advocates?

why try to justify it or not? does it feel right with your conscience? go by what you honestly feel in your spirit. according to the new testament, God sent his holy spirit to guide those who have accepted Jesus as their savior.

You all seem so enlightened until I read people talking about the New Testament like it's a history book instead the based on a real story, with more being made up than any actual facts. Check out the Dead Sea Scrolls that were written right after the crucifition by his actual followers. I'd call that a historical document but not the New Testament. It was altered by the Catholic Church way back during Constantine and nothing in it is witnessed first hand. I know Jesus was a brave, great man who was a lot more political than religious, learned from Historians. And he never, ever claimed to be THE son of god. Come on, if you want an example from the Bible as to how that got easily written in, he said "we are all children of god"

I'd like you to write, from what you have heard, word of mouth, about someone from over a century ago and see how accurate it is. Then send it to your editor and be made to alter facts to serve a purpose. It'll be as accurate, if not more so, than the 'holy bible'

:wtf:

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

So am i going to hell because I have only entered a church for weddings in the past 15 years? Church is a sin. It's a waste of time when I could be at the park with my dogs instead of listening to all the hyopocricy and fictional readings and then the great Homily about how the church needs money.
I was forced Catholic so maybe some protestant churches aren't so bad but first off, I follow Jesus' teachings because the world would be a better place if everyone did. But he was a man, a great man like Ghandi or MLK. I follow their teachings also.

:wtf:

you shouldnt say people that come to your door are evil and not christians because christians do go door to door. im a God fearing man and try to go to church but can never find the time, i know that there is all sorts of groups that go to peoples doors, christian, morman, hell what else is there muslim, the damn pizza boy for all i care. its all about your personal walk with God. and i know the only requirement to be a christian is believing in god and his son Jesus Christ, which if im not wrong, which i could be this post was started by saying that jesus was created by leaders. he wasnt he was created by God. and its hard dening that Jesus did exist.. and he did perform miricles.. remember just my opinion.. with belief of Jesus Christ comes baptism and your own personal walk with God, and trust me HE will do the rest..... if you belive....

I'd love to hear your sources on all these miracles and that Jesus was the son of god, especially since he said we are all children of god. Do you believe Mary was a virgin too? And the Bible doesn't count as a source. It is not an accurate historical document, closer to a fairy tale based on a political leader pissed off that the Head Jewish Priests were in bed with the Romans. that is proven though actual, credible historical documents.

Wake up! :cursing:

How many of you cannabis smokers are Christian and believe it to be a sacrement?

*raises hand*

I'd like to point out that I'm not "religious." I don't follow a set of rules that man created. I have a personal relationship with Christ, am guided by the Holy Spirit, and believe that I am protected by the Heavenly Father. Going to a Catholic school for a 2 years really opened my eyes up to the many deceptions of organized religion. Also, the whole "my beliefs are right and yours are wrong" approach that most religious groups, no matter the religious affiliation, really put me off. I honestly believe that Cannabis can make the world a much more peaceful place; while most followers of major religions believe that MJ is the "Devil's Weed." I always marvel @ the power that prohibition and propaganda have. People are such sheep.

Amen

Organized denominantional religion in itself causes division and strife. Not the way God intended for it turn out.

You're dismissing 'idols' while idolizing Jesus.

I think it is an easy mistake to turn Jesus into an idol. Idolatry is an attempt to find salvation outside of yourself in some form. The church has focused primarily on the body of Jesus when his real message was that Christ is inside of all of us, as God is. Never seek for salvation outside of yourself. God is spirit and has nothing to do with the body, or idols. That's why it is so hard to communicate with God. We are constantly asking for ephemeral idols when God can only offer the eternal.
