NASB | Hebrews 13:17 ¶ Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 13:17 ¶ Obey your [spiritual] leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account [of their stewardship of you]. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you. |
Subject: Why is marijuana use prohibited? |
Bible Note: Dear jini, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Friend, did it ever occur to you that the body of Christ is on the 'war on drugs bandwagon' because of experience? People are in prison because they broke the law. Jesus did not tell you to obey only the just (in your sight) laws. Eternal harm from drug laws? Please! Most drugs are illegal for good reason. Marijuana included! You, as an expert, may be able to inhale judiciously, but most are not able to discern the adequate dose. Shall we also legalize cocaine? It's from a leaf. L.S.D.? It's from mold. Heroin? A flower. I think perhaps you have been enjoying a little too much 'moderation,' my friend, because your logic is pretty weak. :-) ...but be filled with the Spirit! (you shouldn't need more!) In Christ Jesus, charis |
