1 | what is your point? | Gen 1:12 | Cyclist | 55089 | ||
Jushafreak, Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised! I will Shout joyfully to the LORD! I will praise Him for His loving kindness! I will praise Him for His mercies! I will praise and uplift the LORD my GOD! Scriptural facts are what you were/are seeking on this subject. From your postings I am convinced that you know scripture, and, that you know how to search scripture. In fact, I am convinced that you know so much about scripture that you are probably capable of winning any debate or argument on this subject, and, maybe other subjects as well. Consider this, and, I will do my best to keep emotion out of it. If you read one my postings in this thread you know that I am an ex-user and an ex-drug dealer. The fact is this; pot has the similar "buzz" effect and altering of thoughts and imagination as alcohol. Just as alcohol leads to drunkeness, so does pot smoking. Having first hand experience with this I will not be convinced otherwise. It is with sorrow that I post the following scripture. Yes it is with emotion that I post it, none the less, it is scriptural fact, that is what you seek. 1 Cor 5:11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. Not that I am anyone. You do not know me nor I you. I am not an elder to this forum nor am I anyone in authority, just a Christian, but, if you continue in your drunkeness, your postings are not worthy of reading or response by me, but, again, I am nothing. I love you in Christ Jeshuafreak. Submitted in the boldness of the spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Blessed be His name forever, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

"1 Cor 5:11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. " I know this verse well and I do sense your genuine heart felt emotion and love for me in Christ. I feel as Paul at times, "wishing that I were accursed , for the sake of the salvation of my brothers and sisters who still smoke pot." my paraphrase and I couldn't tell you the address either. You know brother, I do know alot about the Word... but honestly I don't have too much practical experience living this Christian life. I know more about living life on its terms instead of on God's terms. I did stay clean and sober for 3 and a half years. I was in N.A. along with my mom. She was a heroin addict (on methadone now). I was in N.A. first to support my mom and started to get to some of them and it was good for me ...to a point. I learned that I could do life without drugs, and booze or anything else. I did not know the Lord then . I prayed to a higher power. God as I created him. See my God was a blender mix of evrything I thought was spiritual. I didn't want to go to church because I was living a sinful lifestyle. Though I didn't know it then. I was learning secular humanism and the human potential movement first hand. I was indoctrinated with all that stuff. I was the same person at the end of the three years. I was just aware of my ability to not have to do dope. I saw many people go in and out of those rooms and the sob stories and year after year it was the same thing...boring. I learned how to be a user of women. I was addicted to sex as well. I was is sick denial there... cause I thought I loved them. ***incidently this is all going to be in the book....the Lord is helping me put it together.*** I was and am now ADD growing up. And very hyperactive. They startedme on Ritalin, which is amphetamines (speed). This would make me mellow because it "over-amped" my system and I became the opposite of what I normally was. Gramma got me off those , thank God. In later years (H.S.) I expiremented with speed a little and didn't like it because it made me quiet....lol..not my nature to be quiet. I believe God made e the way I am and wants me to be completely free of substances. I was conditioned to party when I was growing up. Then from 16 to 19 I was conditioned to live clean and sober and be a self centered individual. From 19 to 24 I condoitioned my self to party constructively. I was a functional drug user. I worked 40 hours a week..sold a little pot to support my habit. I was smoking free weed...then I stopped selling it and bought it. It is very expensive , and I was spending quite a bit of money... I shudder to think how much I have actually spent on getting high... Thank You Lord for Your forgiveness. Thank You Lord for sending Your Son on ahead of me to pave the way on that via dela Rosa.. Thank You Jesus for laying down Your life for mine...that YOu chose me to be found in YOu even before time. I prais e You and honor You and glorfy YOur name forever AMEN******Sometimes I just want to shout JESUS!!! |
