9,000th post dedication goes to . . . . .

That is how come I'm able to smoke cigarettes and smoke marijuana because the Bible doesn't forbid it. God would have if he wanted to forbid it since He is omniscient, including being able to see the future.

 

The U.S. stance towards it was outwardly moral but the real reason why the U.S. federal government got behind it is because they didn't want unproductive workers which weed was thought to create. So it was economics.

 

And black populations seemed to enjoy it more openly, it was also racist

 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Poisoning your body with intoxicants is hardly glorifying God in our bodies.

 

Why does this keep happening to threads
It isn't fun

 

But He specifically mentions alcohol, so why not tobacco, marijuana, etc.?

 

We do not post crazy things that you like.

 

I like non religious threads

 

You could be a sexy nun that sneaks a lot of makeup into the convent? I don't know. *shrugs* You might like that.

 

That doesn't sound sexy at all.

 

*Sigh* Just trying to make it a little bit fun for you but you aren't helping.

 

Because directing us to avoid any such poisons is more efficient than listing them all.

 

It's 733am. It's not supposed to be fun right now

 

I'm not going to assume what God is telling us in the Bible. There have been too many liberties taken with interpreting scripture as it is.

 

It's best you don't trust your own interpretations...girls get themselves into trouble trying to do so without a man's firm hand to guide.

 

Either that or you are full of shit, reverend.

 

You're beginning to get a rise out of me.

 

You must be a Latter-Day Saints member, lol.

 

Does this sound like God wants us to be in a drug induced stupor?

1 Peter 1:13 - Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
