It seems you are the one with a soapbox. You are consistently making it clear that you do not approve of the use of marijuana. But, you give no reason other than what you think about God's will. Show me a Scripture, which the Holy Spirit has given you to illuminate me with your brilliance. So far, all I hear is an opinion from you and from other legalists herein.
I said I wasn't going to reply again, but I must post this to clear up ignorance from another.
As for my pastor, he is aware that I have used pot. In none of my communications with you have I stated that I was now using the stuff. I am an ordained associate pastor, AG. I try not to make people stumble by doing things they are not comfortable with. I think I read that in my Bible, and His Holy Spirit made it clear. BUT, if I wanted to smoke a joint or a bowl with a friend, God would allow it. I have been a witness for Him before in that environment, and have brought quite a few to the saving knowledge of Christ.
I always say that Christians talk the talk and walk the walk.
I'm not sure you even understand what it means to be a Christian, FRiend. You sound much closer to a Pharisee...
Do you partake of any alcohol?
Hazard a guess, what percentage of Christians would you say agree with you that smoking even a little pot is cool with God? You spoke with your pastor, does he think it's hunky dory? How about fellow church members? Would you invite fellow Christians to smoke a joint at a bible study?
