1	Why is marijuana use prohibited?	Heb 13:17	jini	68121
	Pris- To be honest with you, there is no place in the Bible that prohibits the use of cannabis. We are warned against drunkenness, but to drink in moderation is not prohibited. In fact, many would say, as a seed bearing plant, cannabis was created on the third day and given to man for use on the sixth. Unfortunately, in reference to cannabis or marijuana as you refer to it here, the church is filled with apathy and ignorance, quoting scripture that simply does not apply in support of ideology that can not be justified biblically. While it is true that we are told to obey our leaders, it is also said in Isaiah "Woe to those who make unjust laws and issue oppressive decrees". Christians do not realize that we bear responsiblity for these laws being in existence and share in those woes. They do not see that making laws that criminalize something that God does not condemn is actually plotting harm against our neighbor, which we are explicitly told not to do. I confess, I have no clue as to how the body of Christ has been deceived into getting on the war on drugs bandwagon. On every other issue we have viewed government information and motivation with a critical eye. Not this one. Jesus told us to visit people in prison, not to put them there. Paul told us that the rules of "hold not, taste not and touch not" were destined to perish with use because they were based on human teachings and only had the appearance of wisdom. Yet we have charged on, not even bothering to see if our position is scripturally valid or is something we can say we are doing in the name of Jesus. There are a number of denominations that are recognizing that the laws that prohibit and criminalize cannabis use and other illicit substances, really does cause more harm than good. And this is only by earthly accounts. The active and unanimous Christian support of these laws have have caused more eternal harm than can be believed. love and peace, -jini
2	No one should have to steal a Bible	Eph 5:5	jini	67750
	My question went back to the original poster's comment about the Bible being the most shoplifted book and her concern over their sin. Thank you for replying though. love and peace, -jini
3	No one should have to steal a Bible	Eph 5:5	jini	67709
	A challenging question - Why would anyone have to steal a Bible? The word says that people will stumble, but woe to the one who causes it. Do some feel so rejected by God's people that they must steal His word to learn it?
4	Drugs other than alcolhol in the Bible?	Ex 30:23	jini	67708
	Colossians 2:20-23 speaks of prohibition.
5	What happens to one who commits suicide?	Rom 8:28	jini	67707
	Thank for this note. My little brother committed suicide eight years ago and this is a question I have wrestled with. How I finally resolved the question was to determine in my own mind my brother's meeting with Jesus and I can see him belonging to him. love and peace, -jini
6	Drugs other than alcolhol in the Bible?	1 Cor 6:19	jini	67475
	This verse refers to sexual immorality, to use it to apply to this question is to take the verse out of context. love and peace, -jini NIV I Corinthians 6:16-19 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; KJV I Corinthians 6:16-19 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? NASB I Corinthians 6:16-19 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, "THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH." But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
7	Drugs other than alcolhol in the Bible?	Ex 30:23	jini	67461
	There is a reference in Exodus 30:23 and a question as to one of the ingredients of the anointing oil. The English is translated as Sweet Calamus, but it too is reported to have psychoactive properties. However there seems to be a controversy as to its real name. In Hebrew it is Q’ana bos. Which sounds a lot like Cannabis or marijuana. The Hebrew dictionary defines Q’ana bos as hemp. See Aryeh Kaplan’s translation of the Chumash called "The Living Torah." Other natural psychoactive herbs and plants include (and this is by no means an exhaustive list): Afrodite Ayahuasca herb Bee pollen Betelnut herb Calamus herb Cola nut Damiana Ephedra Focus Gingko biloba Ginseng Guarana Iboga root powder Kava kava Muira puama herb Noni powder Passion flower Sassafras Skullcap Super sense Trance Valerian Wild lettuce herb Wormwood herb Yogi tea Yohimbe Ephedra Morning Glory Opium Poppy Psychotria Viridis Giant Opium Poppy Hawaii Baby Woodrose Wild lettuce (lactuca virosa) Wild hemp (cannabis sativa) Valerian (valeriana officinalis) Peyote (lophophora williamsii) Syrian Rue (peganum harmala) Yopo (anadenanthera colubrina) Grey Peyote (lophophora diffusa) San Pedro (trichocereus pachanoi) Blue San Pedro (trichocereus peruvianus) Wormwood / Absinth (artemisia absinthium) love and peace, -jini
8	Does God agree with people suing others?	Matt 5:40	jini	67426
	We cause more harm than good when we use the law against others. Matthew 5:40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. I Corinthians 6:7,8 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers. love and peace, -jini
9	love...as himself (if no self-love?)	Eph 5:33	jini	66749
	Self-love can be found by understanding the great love that God has for his children. It was only after I realized how much he loved me, that I was able to truly care about myself in the right way. For the wife of such a husband, she needs to pray for God's best for her husband, and pray that she be the wife that God needs her to be to her husband. love and peace, -jini
10	Do all little ones believe?	Matt 18:6	jini	66742
	Greetings- I have always understood the passages referring to 'little ones' as having a broader focus than just children. To the Lord, we are all 'little ones'. Equally precious and he does not want to lose any of us. Handle each other with care...:*) love and peace, -jini
11	Guilty of sins committed in ignorance?	Lev 4:22	jini	63427
	Emmaus- Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I was looking for Leviticus 5:17 and had missed 4:22. My followup question to this is: Do you think we, and our leaders, are accountable for sins that we commit in ignorance? For example, if we act upon a falsehood, not knowing it is a falsehood, are we guilty of an repercussions that may come as a result? love and peace, -jini

	Thank you for the clarification, it is genuinely appreciated. love and peace, -jini
15	Gentle Words.......	Prov 15:1	jini	63169
	The only thing I could add to that is that we need to make sure that Christ is the Lord of our politics as well. The legislation that we stand for should be scripturally valid. Our motives should be out of mercy and compassion, not to make our lives better or 'safer'. love and peace, -jini
