Romans 12:1 can be used to explain the point, useing it along with illustrating the consequences of useing marijuana. We read: “Consequently I entreat you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason.” The greek used here for sacred, living, holy is - thysian zosan hagian. The greek word for living can mean "to live in health." And as an Isrealite was not allowed to offer a lame animal as a sacrifice to God, that was deformed in any way, the same would apply to the Christian, as he devotes his life to serve the Lord. Thus, all his conduct, his actions would reflect a respect for that life as he would want to present it to God in a clean, undefiled way. Give their very best, to God. How would God feel if a person were to purposefully engage in activites that would hinder their physical bodies in some way? Some claims by researchers say that marijuana users can have smaller babies, more accidents, and damaged lungs, immune system weakened, memory imparied, concentration imparied. To list a few things that would defile the flesh by the use of "recreational drugs." The same principles would apply when dealing with ciggerates as well. As for medicinal drugs, the same risks cannot be said to be invovled, as long as they are not abused. |
