Bible Question: This is a frequenlty aked Ques. but hear it from my point of view and plz help. I consider my self a christian I believe with all my heart. I keep hate, fornication, gluttiny, lust and every other sin from my being. Im in good health I run occasionally and keep fit for my body is lords temple. i am 23 yrs old and all these virtues came to me in an instant when i was fallen and i thank the lord everyday and i pray. But I have come to ask for help because I eat marijuana only occasionally like some one eats candy it gets you high but without lung cancer cooked properly its pretty good. I'm almost convinced its okay, i see no addiction( as much of an addiction for someone who drinks coffee occasionally)I see it as gods green plant when done in moderation ( some people cant keep in moderation) and eaten instead of smoked, its as harmless as coffee with some theraputic properties. Only because of social taboo i ask this how could something God created be so evil, it CANT, unless you let evil in.

Bible Answer: Hi

Remember Eve in the garden of Eden, what did the devil tell her? Did God realy say that Gen 3:1.

So with that in mind, the devil can tell you that God can never create things so evil- which is correct, always the truth first then the lie - but never tells you that he the devil made it corrupt. Then vers 4 the devil said you will surely not die, and in your context there is nothing wrong with it.

John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

The Bible states it clear that we must not allow things in the world to control our lifes and minds.

Rom 8:5
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

There must be a reason for you to use it, and the conviction shown in this question, tells me that the Holy Spirit is already speaking to you about the wrongness of it.

1 Cor 10:12-13
Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Remember we are body, soul and spirit. If may not defile the body, but the soul and/or spirit.

May the Holy Spirit do the rest.
