1 | question to smoke pot or not | Gen 1:12 | 2ndSamuel22 | 54728 | ||
Dear Hank, I believe Paul summed this up in Galatians 5:20--"Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, WITCHCRAFT, hatred,..." The word "witchcraft" comes from the Greek, "pharmakeia", and according to Vine's-- "(Eng., "pharmacy," etc.) primarily signified "the use of medicine, drugs, spells;" then, "poisoning;" then, "sorcery," Gal 5:20, RV, "sorcery" (AV, "witchcraft"), mentioned as one of "the works of the flesh." See also Rev 9:21; 18:23. In the Sept., Exd 7:11,22; 8:7,18; Isa 47:9,12. In "sorcery," the use of drugs, whether simple or potent, was generally accompanied by incantations and appeals to occult powers, with the provision of various charms, amulets, etc., professedly designed to keep the applicant or patient from the attention and power of demons, but actually to impress the applicant with the mysterious resources and powers of the sorcerer." God is my Strength and Power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Hank and 2 Samuel 22, Your observations are noted and applauded. I have to add a couple final notes to this topic. 1. christiansforcannabis.com is a sad but sorry attempt to justify their behavior from a scriptural standpoint. But, where do we stop? How about: Christians for Heroin, Christians for Acid, or Christians for Mescaline, etc. Where does it end?; 2. Can anyone seriously picture our Lord, Jesus Christ, in His Holiness engaging in illicit drug use? If He wouldn't, why should we? Lets'get real! Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |
