Medical Marijuana Activists keep an eye on colorado and fingers crossed.

Mickey, why do you assume that all marijuana smokers have the same void you had before finding god? I know plenty of people that smoke AND go to church. Also, Savior specifically asked for this discussion to not revolve around your commitment to God. It's all good if that's what you need in your life to stay straight, but why don't you go ahead and put the pulpit away brother. Not all of us think marijuana use is a sin, or even bad behavior. It isn't.

I don't assume anything, I do know everyone has that void and they try to fill it in all kinds of different ways, God put that void there to draw us to Him. I didn't say marijuana is a sin, men like myself abused it which is a sin for me, but there may be someone like my dying brother that needs it.I don't know if it helps him or if he is just abusing it. I do know his doctor won't give him the pills anymore that were perscribed because he didn't past the blood test for other drugs. I thought he would be dead by now with 3 different cancers, but I don't even know if he has anything. I do know what's more important, and that is if he dies without Christ, if he denies that there is a God, if he keeps going the way he is he has made the choice to go to hell. It doesn't get anymore real then that! As far as not talking about God, I have to obey God rather then men. You don't have to like it,in fact if you are not saved you won't like hearing it, I prey you do. There may be that one person that needs and wants to hear it, and that out weighs anything we may talk about on here. I'm not here to fight, I'm just doing what I'm called to do, bring the good news to those that may be hurting or need to hear the message of the cross. Like I said, I had many people try to tell me the same thing, but I didn't want to hear it either, but one day I did. That one day, in the blink of a eye changed my life forever, how can you say don't talk about the Free Gift of God that has the Power to change a life?

......huh?

I have no void. Your religion is one very narrow minded way to think and live Mickey. It's unfortunate that you feel the need to push it. If it's such a great life, why do you need to talk people into it?

Don't go assuming you know my beliefs either. Most of what you are saying has zero to do with the topic.

Can we talk about the issue now or are you not done yet, pastor Dunlap?

Who says everyone has a void? And, that it needs filling? My primary use of pot is to go to sleep on nights that I lay in bed for hours awake. Guess if I used Nitquill it'd be okay.

We all have a void in our hearts, and we all try to fill it with something that doesn't last. You may not understand that, but it's there. Yes I serve a very narrow minded God, Jesus says "John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." There is only one true God, there is only one way to heaven, and that is through Jesus and his work on the cross. He also says it again " Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. So you are right, but how would you know that if someone didn't tell you. I don't push it on anyone, I tell them the truth and God imparts it to them if they have ears to hear it. I can't push something on someone. They couldn't push it on me! And I have a feeling you have a stronger will then I had so I can't see me pushing it on you or anyone else, but I still have to tell you the truth.

You said you have a need to sleep, try reading the bible, it will bore the heck out of you if you don't know what you are reading and you will fall asleep.

That was a joke,but it has some biblical aspect too. God say to meditate on it day and night,and I fall asleep faster because it gets my mind back on important things instead of the motor that isn't fast enough or some other life problem I haven't figured out yet. Then sometimes in the morning I figure out what I needed to do and I slept better. Beside that IT'S FREE!!!!!!!!!!

[trike savior]

Mickey, this is God. Now you are just being an A-hole

seriously man come on now people have to go through 2 pages of religious crap to find anything related to the topic at hand. Thanks for hi - jacking my thread even after I tried to be nice.

Take it from a person who spent K- 8th grade in a Christian school and knows the bible cover to cover, religion is Hog Wash for so many reasons that I don't care to explain because it will take up more room in this thread than I want to give it.

My main problem is that more people have died in the name of religions since the beginning of written history than any religion has ever SAVED.

And what makes your religion the right one when there are so many that pre-date christianity.

Now I AM getting angry and it ain't the pot. Please stop

Okay, the first part is funny as all get out! lol

But, I just can't read what I can't understand.

Anyhow, this is not the topic of this thread, so... PUFF, PUFF, PASS.

Re: Is Smoking Marijuana A Sin? Christian Perspective!
First off before anyone reads this! I am a christian and Jesus is my Savior! I am sorry if you don't share my beliefs and i don't mean to offend anybody! Just looking for an answer and if you are not a christian you can still read this and answer! Thank you everyone!

Is smoking marijuana a sin? First off let me tell you a little about myself! I am 22 years old and I love Jesus with all my heart, hes the reason i live and have the urge to continue to live! I am patiently waiting for his return to gather us up to be with him! Over the last 2 years of my life I made a complete U turn, basically I was clubbing 3-4 times a week, having pre-marital sex, getting smashed 3-4 times a week (goes along with the clubbing) you know basically the life that we are all told is the fun and cool life to live! I was born into the church and attended my whole life but never took it seriously at all, Just basically thought o well if this Jesus guy is real then ill just go to church once a week and be ok! I thought i was safe but was really living no better than anybody else and not being an example to others. I started smoking week at 19 years old and would say i smoke about 1-2 joints a day (usually at night cuz it relaxes me and i like to munch out lol) So basically to cut this story short, took a step back at my life and changed it! I started reading the bible for the first time in my life at 20 years old and it changed my life! I felt the spirit of god and it was the greatest feeling ever! I got baptized about 6 months ago and it was great, I always put it off because i was embarrassed of going to the front and getting baptized in front of a church attendance of around 500 people! So basically through this whole experience and even though i have been raised in the church my whole life and knew almost every story in the bible I found my newly found faith and Found Jesus my savior!

I live my life to the best of my ability and have cut off basically everything in my life that was sinful! including the hardest thing Sex! Keep in mind i am in a 4 year relationship with my girlfriend and I wasn't living as a christian for about 3 of those years! so it was very hard to cut the sex out until marriage! It was hard but it felt wrong and i knew i was sinning intentionally!

So to the question! I still smoke weed, i enjoy having a joint before bed and i dont feel like i am sinning when i am doing this at all! God created all things good and i see nothing wrong with marijuana!

pretend the media never existed, and you never heard of marijuana before! If you were to see somebody roll up this plant and smoke it would you look at them and be like o my you sinner! how could you smoke that plant! I see nothing wrong with it as long as you use it properly, the bible states nothing is wrong with it and it doesn't affect my life negative at all!

Nobody can give me a concrete answer and I am always left wondering and praying for god to let me know if this is a sin! please help! any fellow Christians out there with any thoughts on this? thank you!!

Using drugs and alcohol is not a sin. what you do while under those and other substances is what matters. That is why you use these substances with responsibility. [QUOTE]



See, it really depends only on your life experiences, and how you choose to view things.

Life is much better when you eliminate spite as well.

I'm sorry but if you know the Bible you know I obey God over men. I'm sorry also that you went to school all those years and didn't believe what the Bibles says or you went to a school that say it's a Christian school on the sign out side but didn't teach you anything, I have seen that too many times,where they just want the money and don't teach the Word because they don't know what they are teaching. I didn't learn to do much of anything in school either,I just day dreamed about racing all day, but I don't blame the school.

I don't know where you would even get your numbers on war and saved people, it would be impossible to even come up with a number so I'll just pass on something so silly.

God is the same yesterday today and forever, nothing has changed. Only people have came up with religions, and I already said I don't like religion. Gods plan for man never changed.

LOL I can give him a concrete answer, go to the local police station and smoke a big one in front of them, they will let him know if it's a sin for him to smoke pot real quick Christians are to obey the laws of the land unless they go against Gods Word. If you want to justify something you can find something and take it out of context to twist it the way you want, satin has been doing it for years. That's why you get alone with God to give you the answer that lines up with all the Bible. This life isn't a cake walk, I stumble and fall over a lot of things. I get mad at God sometime, then in his loving way he shows me where I got off track and he get me right again as you have seen me do on here. It's just part of growing in the Lord.

Shlt you not guys...

This is the bike that just rolled on to my lift.



I asked Jesus to help me get it running. If that doesn't work, fck it I'm going to smoke a joint.

Or better yet, I'll use science and logic to fix it, then smoke to relax and OMG JUST TO GET HIGH after I don't need to think that detailed.

LOL if that bike just rolled up on your lift you better call for a exorcist!

Or Someone might just be trying to get your attention

[DohcBikes]

The best part is if I can't fix it, I'll just blame it on Jesus.

Oh look at the time, 5:32. Work is done for the day. Must be God telling me to burn one.

Fabio, not sure what would I do without my spite, for Christ sake that's what I use to fill my void!
