Bible Question:
I am not a full beliver in God because i feel there is nothing, in my personal opinion, that proves God is real. i study Religious Studies at my school and allthough i am an atheist, i find the whole thing of God and Jesus to be interesting. along side this i am considerd a "rebel" at school and such like for reasons i dont really understand. i am doing some RS coursework on Drugs and was wondering what any of you guys could tell me on, christian attitudes to drugs and all so what you feel about them, because in my own view i feel that Cannabis should be legalized and all other drugs banned because in theory, God made cannabis, and man made Alcohol... who do you trust?

Bible Answer: I see drugs as a destroyer of life and death of the soul! I once also held on to the opinion you have, but like the word of God says, "That the preaching of the cross to them that are perishing is foolishness" sound familiar? but it goes on to say, " but unto US who saved, it is the POWER of God, 1Corinthians1:18! There is a big difference in your belief. God wants us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: In ALL of your ways acknowledge him, and he WILL make your paths straight, Proverbs 3:5,6. You say you an atheist, but you believe "GOD" made cannabis, well what is it, either you do or you don't believe in God? Lets be real here, our nation and our families are faced with a real problem with drugs, it is an escape from reality, and I believe you know that also, and you probably know people who have suffered from the use of drugs, right? Do you see a future in drugs now that you see the consequences of its use? Lets face it alcohol is a drug and so is cannabis or MARIJUANA! besides being illegal do you want to minumize WEED because it doesn't compare to the hard drugs, come on! Drugs are Drugs, period. God made poison ivy, I don't see nobody smoking that, I'm not trying to be funny, but you asked for our "attitudes" on drugs and I hope I gave you a clear point of view from a person who was hooked on drugs and alcohol for over forty years, until one day someone told me how much God LOVED me, yes me a man who strggled through life holding on to a belief that was killing me, and he also told me how Jesus his only Son came to save me and he could change my life around, all I had to do was to invite him IN, and from that day on Jesus became not only my Savior but my best Friend. He invites you also, because HE really LOVE you too. I invite you to make the best decision of your life, just say, "Jesus come into my heart and forgive me of my sins, I give you my life, thank you for being the savior of my life". I pray that you will continue in his Love. Respond back if I can be of any help or support to you. God Bless You |
