Subject: Having been on the losing side |
Bible Note: Having been on the losing side of the marijuanna debate I am now completely convinced that it is sin and I can now longer entain the thought of a positive defense I humbly bow in retreat. Thank you again all of you for the lively discussion. Check out this article which is a true debate on the issue and he is a true Christian his argument is against the use of marijaunna by Christians.. it was very persuading. I can no logically debate this topic with my pot smoking Christian friends. Thank you again all of you and please let's move on. We have taken up too much space on this already. One Toke Over the Line By Douglas Wilson http://www.christkirk.com/images/Marijuana.html "But suppose this is granted, but a further question is asked. What about the fellow who is not wiped out? He smokes marijuana but remains (at least in his own mind) fully functional. He grants that "drunkenness" is always wrong, but denies that marijuana has to produce "drunkenness." Why cannot cannabis provide an equivalent experience to wine gladdening the heart of man? We have to look at this argument carefully. We have seen that drunkenness is flatly prohibited by Scripture, but we have to recognize that other uses of alcohol are approved and encouraged throughout the Bible. In order to do this, we must back up. According to the Bible, alcohol has at least five lawful scriptural uses. Let's look at each, and see if there is a parallel to marijuana at that point. The last one we will consider is the "gladden the heart" argument." SEE ARTICLE FOR THE WHOLE DISCUSSION. |
