Subject:  question to smoke pot or not

Bible Note: 
You should find the folowing comments enlightening at the least.******



)******Gen 1:11 Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.
2 Gen 1:12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.******
*******"The question to smoke pot or not to is a personal one. One between the Lord and each individual. Regardless of what each person believes in this regard, there is certainly no room for a Christian to judge another Christian on such a thing. Most of us know this, if not all of us. But what should we do if we choose to smoke pot? What I'm talking about is summed up in a situation whereby a friend of mine who had not long become a Christian did regarding the smoking of cigarettes. I was talking to him one day, expressing to him that although as far as Jesus' words on defilement were concerned the people judging him were the ones that are defiled, not him. Because out of them come judgments, which make them in turn stand for judgment. However, as most of us know, Jesus told us my friend was not defiling himself by what he puts into his body. He was so inspired that day, because a brother (me) had taken his side in a small country town, that didn't himslelf (me again) smoke tobacco. He was so inspired that he infact stood at the front steps to the church greeting everyone as he puffed away on his smoke. It's obvious he didn't make any new friends that day. What I'm getting at is that we must be careful to use our freedom as the appostle Paul said "to do good, not evil". The same appostle said in relation to meat sacrificed to idols, that he would eat meat never again if it stumbled a person of weaker faith. I don't think we need never smoke pot again, or cigarettes, to protect those with a weaker faith, but it might be prudent to keep things in their place. Not so much hiding it completely perhaps, but to be careful that we don't insult or upset our brothers or sisters that don't yet understand. Jesus said that the truth would set us free. So it stands to reason, that lies are what keeps us in bondage to beliefs that injure us. If anything, we ought to feel pity for those brothers and sisters that can't believe in a God that loves us beyond what food we eat, or clothes we wear, or what pot we smoke. They have been taught a lie, and have accordingly been trapped from knowing the fullness of the love of God, the finality of the cross, the end of the law for righteousness, to those that believe in Jesus. It's hard to be patient with church goers that petition for tougher drug penalties. I know. My first ever visit to a Christian church ended in a screaming match between the Pastor and I in the foyer of a rather large church. Beause I had gone to hear about God, and he had passed out a pre-typed letter, calling for harsher marijuana penalties. Although he was wrong in what he did, I too was wrong in my approach. Of Jesus they said in prophecy of his coming "a bruised reed he shall not break, and a smouldering flax he won't extinguish". And so we should be also, we should go careful and tread lightly on this subject, sympathetically understanding their ignorance is injuring them, far more than us. rob" ---rob



****Jeshuafreak writes--------- I find this man's comments enlightening.. Thought provoking.. and maybe a little inspiring.. This is an issue I am currently dealing with in my communty as well. Praises be to God the Creator of all things in heaven and on earth. He who will cause the simple things of this world to confound the wise..and He who makes the simple minded to be wise. Thank You Father from whom all blessings flow Praise Him all you creatures here below. Praise Him Father Son and Holy Ghost. ***Jeshuafreak
