Dope Smokin' Christians!!!!

[sworth]

Are you a dope smokin' Christian?
Here is a Christian smokers' thread.
There's a s£$t load of threads to run the Bible beaters down (and good job too!)
But here's a thread to explore Christianity...
Exclusively!!
With a scriptural reference, whether Biblical, Apocryphal... and all the 700+ lost books?....Whatever!
But for those with a "Christ like mind"
So, please, if you want to beat a Person of the Book; choose another thread?

Starter?

When my Mother died and, later, when my son died I couldn't see the Crucifix as Christ.
All the time I was grieving I could see both their deaths as representative of the death of Christ
Every death a little crucifixion....

I have a lot of trouble excepting Christ as my savior. Its not that I don't believe its just that I think that he was saddled with the mesiah thing.

You may want to change "Excepting" for "Accepting"
That's the kinda point to the thread...."Messiah" ? "Prophet"? "Man"? "God"?....

...."the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."

Ergo; We do not need to be told!?

Hmmm, can one be a "good" Christian and smoke marijuana where it is illegal to possess?

Rom 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Rom 13:2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

Very good point! But I'm of a mind that the herb was instituted by God.
When taken with this point in mind, and to get closer to a spirituality reality, it's easy to see why.
A good smoke, good music, and a few hours with scripture......kiss-ass

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's...but I don't see Babylon growin' any herb!.. Must be ours then!?

I would agree with prophet. Man YES. I think the lord is in all of us

 

[sworth]

So you agree then "it is you who are the sons of the living Father"... as opposed to any one man/prophet/seer etc?

Is it really hard to accept that this certain scripture is a man made rule? Hitler and the Nazi's were authorities once, would you comply with them just because the bible told you so? This is one of those scriptures that was man made so man could control men.

So I was trying to get back to Scriptures...and away from governments​!

[dbkick]

God might not mind if you made rope out of it, clothes out of it, fuel out of it, but smoke it for a buzz?

I like these religions where you can make up the rules as you go but I don't think many of the big organized religions are that way.

 

[drive]

why not, I think altered states of mind are an easy way to communicate with non earthly beings

Then join one of the religions that toke up to worship, , last I knew that wasn't the christians and most of the followers would be highly against it.

 

[dbkick]

But OP, it sounds like you're totally comfortable playing both sides of the fence, do you ever find yourself having to be deceitful about your habit and then finding a justification for that with your christ? I mean you can't come right out while at a church event like it was a pot forum and go "let's smoke some dope fellow christians!!!" eh?

So you get to pick and choose what you think came straight from the big man on high?
