Is it wrong for a Christian to smoke weed?

[Consumed]

Many people said it. But will give my 2 cents (not that you all care..lol)

1. It is illegal, hence it is a sin
.

hi bro
im not advocating weed let me stress but when i read point one it come to mind that hemp had been used for thousands of years for many purposes, whether it is beneficial for medical use i suppose their are those who find relief, not all need to smoke it surely some bake
Point is that wasnt til last century that it became illegal as the synthetic industries took off. coincidence or economics.
As soon as it was prohibited because of all the hype only advertised the product lol
Seriously though all comes down to that we are to crucify the lusts of the flesh, always starts with a choice yet we are to walk His Word, the doctrine is the teaching of how we ought to (even that can get contentious, however)

Well, I'm gonna chim in...

What it seems is a lot of people just regurgitating propaganda. But we're sort of victoms of mass propaganda, but if you do some research you'll quickly find that weed isn't that bad for you at all. Infact many people use it as a way to mitigate there pain. And these are not just people that are pot smokers needing an excuse to do it. They're actually suffering from some major decease that is mostly uncurable.

If you wanna learn more just go to youtube and do a search for: weed documentary

But I want to stress I'm not advocating it's usage. I'm just saying that there's a lot of misconceptions out there that's all. And again I don't buy the stuff, I'm a bit on the fence about it. Mostly just that it's come up a lot at get togethers so I've been a bit wondering about the matter.

I'm wondering if smoking weed is a sinful act? I did some research and it turns out that smoking weed is far safer than drinking or smoking. Not even close to the damaging effects on the body. What does the bible say? Or what are your thoughts?

The Master teaches us that nothing entering the body defiles the body because it passes through the body and is eliminated. We are also taught anything having mastery over us should not be practiced. I do know that even in the Law of Moses, when the tithes were brought in Yahweh told the Children to eat of them and drink wine and even strong drink in His presence, which is kind of surprising, but not mystifying. I do not think it wise to smoke weed, however I would never bar anyone from being family in Yeshua simply because they did once practice this habit, or should they do it again as long as it does not have mastery over the person. It is definitely a taboo for me personally. Going back to the Master's teaching, He went on to teach us that it is what proceeds from the hearts of men that defiles them them. This is not difficult to learn and understand, but if it is not understood right now, please, for the sake of the Love of Yeshua, do not condemn others when it is in your power to forgive, Yeshua desires mercy and not sacrifice. He also came to forgive, not to condemn. Bless all who are in Yeshua, and all who will come to Him, amen. Thank You, Father, amen.

Yes it is wrong to smoke weed. Scripture says to not take the things that open the mind.

Where does it say that?

 

[honest01]

Yes, it's wrong to smoke because smoking destroy your health. God do not want us to destroy ourselves. Smoking is like a suicide act because it destroy our health and kill us but we are still doing it. For example if you see a pit full of sharp rods and you decide to jump into the pit, you are committing suicide. This is similar with smoking because, we no that smoking kills but we are still smoking. So, smoking is wrong.
Thanks, God bless you all.

Never smoked it , never will, Lord willing, ahh, which brings me to my point...

The Lord leads. Follow Him. Pray, pray, pray, every day, thank Him for the things that He rebukes you of and refreshes you with, and, don't forget to praise Him too for giving you everything He gives you, gave you, will give you.

It's all good IF it's given from God. NO ONE knows your plan from God, YOU follow His plan for YOU !

He will never leave you or forsake you, Hebrews 13:5, sure, tried and true scripture, heard by you a millon times before. Well then, the Lord leads, and, you have just heard it a million and one times now.

Thank you, Lord, through your Spirit, for leading my life. Do NOT let the devil EVER make you feel guilty for what you are doing, for the power of God inside you consumes ALL fire from he. For He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.

Taking medication for medical reasons is perfectly fine. Taking drugs just get high is not. If you down a whole bottle of cough syrup just to get a buzz, thats wrong. I would like to think I wouldnt have to explain that.

*says while probably getting high off of drinking coffee*

Many Christians who despise marijuana don't understand it. Their pastors and government propaganda say it's bad and not Christian. Many Christians who don't have a problem with it have actually tried it and realized that there isn't really that big of a hoopla with weed.Here's my view on it.

Marijuana has never killed anyone. It doesn't make you stupid (smoked for years). You don't get addicted. And to me, it's not a mind altering drug. It doesn't make you lazy (was exercising, doing martial arts the whole time I smoked).

Is smoking bad if you are a Christian? I don't know how God views it. I know how America views it except Alaska, they think it's a devil's herb, and I know how other countries view it, a pick-me-up like a cup of coffee. I never felt Nonchristian when I did it. If you ARE going to try it I would not recommend smoking it, as this is the only serious health risk that comes with smoking marijuana. Marijuana doesn't cause cancer (in fact it stops the progression of glioma, a serious brain cancer) but smoke in general can increase your risk for heart disease and whatnot. I would recommend eating or vaporizing it... if you do it.

I have found that depending on who you speak to the effects of weed varies.

 

[RachelBibleStudent]

marijuana was used in witchcraft in ancient times...shamans used it to contact spirits...it is demonic...

it is at the low end of the scale of demonic herbs...which probably makes it even more dangerous since the demonizing effects are less obvious...most marijuana users have no clue what is actually going on spiritually when they use it...

It seems most everyone I've ever known doing marijuana has been lethargic in conversation and bordering on anti-social. Also, some Ive known have had kids around and you may not think they know what you are doing, parent(s), they do

My observations , and, opinions, but, yes, for some, Ive heard marijuana helps their backpain when nothing else could help. In that rare case, I would see whatever else still, experimently or otberwise first. In other words, marijuana should be used as last resort and I say NEVER if you have,been got in trouble by its effects in The past.
Pray to God for healing, He is our Great Healer, our Great Comforter, afterall

I agree, either it is used with The Lord LEADING you , through some sort of medical injury, like back, and, WHILE taking it be in rehabilitation , doing excercises to get your back better.


Hesrd of magnets. There are back magnets that help some people a lot, or, for arthritis, magnet bracelets. These are cheap , got off internet, ebay type place or a store even carries magnet therapy stuff.

Help yourself, don't rely on potentially harmful drugs to you and also those around you

Yes it is wrong to smoke weed. Scripture says to not take the things that open the mind.

Although the Bible mentions weed, it was the kind that interferes with agriculture.The only smoking that was going on at the time the Bible was written was caused by burning wood, houses, sacrifices, and ultimately, people (at the judgment). So, smoking of weed/ marijuana are not mentioned in the Bible..

Ya I agree too much propaganda and brainwashing. People can look this up, like 100,000 people approx die each year in America alone by taking perscription drugs in there perscribed fashion. Weed isn't even close to that. Infact I'm yet to hear of one reported case where someone died smoking weed. It just doesn't happen. Here's a bit of a story. A week ago me and a girls shared a bottle of wine. So that's like 2 glasses each. The next day I had a headache like never before! It was insane. Weed, never woke up with a headache or a hangover, not once. I'm not condoning it or anything, that's not the message, but just saying that brainwashing is rampant.

If anyone wants to learn more just google: weed documentary

You'll find tons of documentaries on youtube which give a normal realistic and factual info about weed and it's effects. Again not even close to as bad as smoking or drinking or perscriptions. Also you get high off a lot of things. A can of coke, a coffee, a cigar, smoking, drinking, perscriptions, tea all kinds of stuff. So I don't see why weed is the really bad high?

Think about what you're saying, who really cares if you do weed?

Seriously, answer that selfless (or selfish) question and then realize HOW weed fits into your temporary and eternal existence.

The Lord leads, I gave my observations in my post before this one and prescription drugs are bad news if made for meth , but taken for a migraine, welk then, that is totally different (medicinal) usage, right ? But painkillers pills, getting hooked on them, it is doing something that TAKES you frOM GOD, not to mention, if you get stuff like thatboff internet it can be tainted with fillers that can KILL you,

Try your best to qualflify the things of your life against God's PLAN for your life.

 

[StMichaelTheArchangel]

Marijuana has way too many negative effects which outweigh the positive ones. Plus, putting oneself in an altered state of consciousness is not healthy, it is a delusion. One of my bishops, Metropolitan Jonah, said that it was "spiritual death".

*says while probably getting high off of drinking coffee*

First of all, I dont drink coffee .....second of all, I am not ignorant to the effects of weed. I used to smoke a lot of it when I was a teenager. So it isn't just my "theory" or what I have been "brainwashed" to believe, when I say that smoking weed is bad for you. It can and will cloud your mind and thinking. I believe it can "open your mind" to very bad things, and not "open" in a sense of enlightenment, but "open" in the sense of allowing bad things to enter.

Its always the tactic of the devil to try and down play stuff as if it isn't a big deal. Here is another example of the devil down playing something.

Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

 

[Bushido8000]

I used to smoke a lot of it when I was a teenager:

Probably why you had those effects. As a teen your brain is still developing. Taking ANY kind of drug that interferes with brain function and chemical firing is going to be bad for you. I never had the slow thinking (Try doing Jiu jitsu with slow reflexes/thinking haha). Also I'm not saying I think it's ok to go all out and smoke 24/7. What I am saying is that I don't think it's bad to do in moderation, responsibly, like I did. Again, you don't drink coffee every hour of the day. You don't overload your body with the most basic of vitamins, why overload it with THC?

Also to everyone who says that it opens your mind, it doesn't. It does quite the opposite. HALLUCINOGENS open your mind to the devil. Weed and it's effects can be fully explained scientifically. You're just receiving a lot more of your basic "happy" chemicals that your brain produces. HALLUCINOGENS create a spiritual experience and your brain operates in a whole new way (vulnerability to the devil). Marijuana DOES NOT DO THIS.
