I am Christian but I like to smoke Pot?

Question

Is that so wrong. Its not like I do it all the time. And Im very responsible. I have 2 cars. A nice clean home.....going to school.

Answer 1

The only thing that would concern me is that facts that pot is linked to mental illness. The amount of kids I nurse with schizophrenia and psychosis brought on through pot is undeniable. I think that compared to the church goers I know, this is mild. I know inside stuff about people at my exes congregation. they had a swinger called cyril and he and his wife advertised on the internet for s*x. There was also a compulsive masturbater, we called him Mr play then pray.lol. on the scale of things, not that bad.

Answer 2

Wow!  I started to bypass your question, not because you are a pot-smoking Christian, but because you are trying to prove that, in your words, you are not a "poor drug addicted s***k"...and that you "have nice things"..

Listen, Friend, being an addict has nothing to do with whether you work or have nice things...

According to Christianity as I understand it, to be forgiven by God one must be sorry for the sin committed...and I don't get that you are at all sorry for your deeds...

But, it is no ones business but yours and God's...unless the law catches up to you!

BTW, your message makes you sound judgmental, which, as a Christian, you should not be...

Jesus said: "Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?"  

(Matthew 7:3,) (NIV)

Answer 3

Isn't that how all the addicts start out......."obviously..not poor drug addicted s***k"..

Do you think it is their intentions to turn out that way?  

Do not consider yourself the exception to drugs.  That is the first mistake they all make.

Answer 4

This has nothing to do with your religion.

Answer 5

That is your call entirely.  

Answer 6

you are obviously not very Christian, otherwise you would know what you are doing is wrong. it seems like you are taking advantage of God's forgiving nature. Christians approach Him with a repentant heart, and you are not repentant at all, because you don't think what you are doing is wrong. and clearly, you are not responsible if you smoke pot.

Jesus said: “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching” (John 14:23)

Answer 7

Beat that!! I'm a hindu and I eat Beef! muhahahaha.. does it make any difference?  

Answer 8

not mentioned in the Bible. enjoy

Answer 9

Jesus would have so smoked pot...

Answer 10

Smoking anything has no health benefits to the human body and only causes damage to it which leads to a reduced lifespan. This would be considered a sin in the eye's of God.

Answer 11

The human brain contains receptors for THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis. God created the brain. God created cannabis. Apply logic, rejoice and spark up a scoob.

Answer 12

Keep at it! The more brain cells you destroy, the better Christian you'll be!

Answer 13

All that is good for you...KUDO's!

But that also means you are not a good Christian.

Christians are taught to obey the laws of the land in which they live.

But even more so, you open yourself up to spirits that are not the Holy Spirit by using drugs.

Galatians 5:20 lists sins for which one puts their relationship with  God in jeopardy...   "Witchcraft" in the verse is translated from the Greek "pharmakia." Pharmacy/pharmacuetical in English.

Afraid it's time to grow up.

Answer 16

I can't help but think that Moses was stoned on something.  I suspect that burning bush was a big marijuana plant.

Answer 17

M't:16:26: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Having things on this plane of existence is not what being a Christian is all about. You may love those things for 80-100yrs. if you live that long but what about the zillions x zillions x zillions plus years that is coming sooner than most people think.

M't:19:21: Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

M't:19:22: But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

M't:19:23: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Answer 18

I don't really see what you being responsible has to do with your material possessions.  Or your religion.  *rolls eyes*

Answer 19

God created it!

Answer 20

Nah. There are worse sins than violating a minor law.

There is a whole lot of drinking in the bible... so if its OK to get blotto and dance till your robe flies up and exposes your parts to your handmaidens, what can be wrong with mellowing out and getting the munchies?

Answer 21

Well, I wasn't going to answer, but your screen name scurred me! lolz...

Anyway, no. As long as smoking doesn't take over your whole life, or make you stop doing the things you need to do, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Answer 22

I'm an atheist, but I've read a bit of the bible. It doesn't say anywhere that weed is prohibited. It's just a law in a handful of countries. So it isn't against your religion to smoke weed, smoke as much as you want, just don't get caught by the cops. =]

Answer 23

Just think of it as the "breath of christ."

Answer 24

smoke on  

Answer 25

Lets set asside the idea of whether or not it is a sin to smoke pot.

First I would ask you is it an "IDOL". Meaning, do you focus on it more than God, does it come between you and God, serving him, etc.

Second, the bible has many verses that reffer to not partying and becoming drunken. Many people drank which seemed to be ok, but it was not ok to be drunken. So are you "drunken" so to speak, when you are smoking weed? Are you enebriated? One other point is, many spiritually blessed people in the bible abstained from alchohol. That is a motivation for me not to drink. I want to do anything I can to be closer to him.

Third, many people believe that smoking, drinking, etc polutes your body, which is Gods temple. You need to keep your temple clean for him. Exercise, food, etc. I quite smoking the first time successfully after many years of chain smoking, because I did it for Gods glory. It was easy that time. I wanted to "test it out" a few times after and it was much harder. He numbed me the first time from the sensation to smoke.

Fourth, all you do should be for the glory of God. Why do you smoke pot, to feel silly or loose, which is warned against in the bible? Think about how it makes you feel and what your reasons are for doing it. Does your smoking weed glorify him? If so, how can it be wrong, if not cut it out of your life. It then, doesn't matter whether it is sin or not.

Answer 26

I was going to say smoking pot is wrong because it's against the law.  But since you have two cars, it's okay.

Answer 27

Enjoy. Just don't drive or perform brain surgery under the influence. And watch out for John Law, lest you lose your two cars.

Answer 28

OK, if you are Christian as you say, you know that to do harm to yourself is a sin, as to harm or kill anyone else is a sin..You are a child of God and God does not want you to harm yourself anymore than he wants you to harm anyone else.  It is one of the Ten Commandments after all > "Thou Shalt not Kill.

We all know, that smoking Pot can kill you so it is a sin.

It is also against the Law, and when you not observing the law, you are doing wrong and going against the law is against the nature of God."Give to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar and to God what belongs to God" < you remember this verse from the Bible.  And you know when you do wrong it goes against God's laws.  

Face it, you are trying to find reasons why it is ok, and you know very well it is not.. give it up.  To be a good Christians means also to die to yourself, to your own selfish passions and greed.  So yes again it is wrong.

Oh by the way, this has nothing to do with responsiblity.  If every criminal was being judged by material possessions and responsiblity, heck, many would not even be in jail.. Those Mob leaders would be feasting right now...
