the Bible knew of lots of drugs.when the Bible speaks of wine they are talking about grape juice.Alcohol is described as fermented fruit of the vine.In biblical times they only knew water or wine(being juice of fruit.)Think about it.Jesus who considered marriage to be the holiest of ceremonies would NEVER change water into wine so everyone,but him,could be drunk.Wine was so special because the only other choice was water.When the Lord speaks of Moses being a drunk hes uses "fermented fruit of vine".In Gensis 1:29 the Lord says "I
give you ever herb bearing seed on the face of the earth and every plant and every tree with a seed init, they are yours to use" (King James version adds for food).Now lets take the pot plant that would make it exceptable to smoke right?Well no,because to be inhaling smoke would be to trash your body.And your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,and when you except Christ His Spirit enters you .But he doesn't want to reside in an unclean temple.Now because of the verse in Genesis i believe we were meant to have pot. We have THC receptors in our bodies.That means our bodies were designed to use pot. We do not have alcohol,,caffine,or nicotine receptors.So now you may say well alcolhol,coke,herion,ect..comes from plants true,But man has to process those first.Its not in its natural state.You could pick a bud and eat it in your salads if you want.I was brought up in the Catholic church ,now for the past 15 years i have found truth-way too much to get into here_but all the truth i have learned wouldn't have happened without weed.As for all other drugs God warns us-cautions-us about using things that open our mind up-these can be translated to hallugenics(sp),ect.(this can be found throughout the old test. and the letters to the churches from Paul in the new test when he warns about witchcraft ,magic,ect.)When Lucifer was cast to earth he took one third of the angels with him.By opening our minds up we are more accepting to these forces of evil.. We let our guard down by doing these things which is why people see things when they trip.They really are there and we just opened ourself up to the other side.When we open our minds up we get more knowlege.God cautions against this knowledge for our own sake-the more we know the more we battle against good and evil and God is just trying to make it eaiser on us.Before Eve ate from the" Tree of knowledge"there was no sin.After she ate it we had sin.Knowledge can be sin in the sense that the more you know the more you will be expected to become.After all its not a sin if you don't know it is.Do you get it?I wish it didn't come across so complicated.Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood ,but against principalities,against powers,against the rulers of the darkness of this world,against spiritual wickedness in high places".As for the church question i dont go to "church".I believe in truth and the "organized religions" you know are for followers and i am a leader.I can go into about 30 reasons why the church as you probably know is a lie starting with the sabbath day being changed by the Cath. church to Sunday when God spec. says Sat. and not to change it.That is blaspheme.But i also believe the Cath church is the anti christ and this isn't the forum for it.I wouldn't go before the Lord under the influence of alcohol,or anything ,(pehaps pot becuz of my belief with it)because then our spirit would be clouded and we are warned about this.to me i would feel ashamed coming before Him like that after all Hes shown me.But seek the truth for yourself and remember nobody else kneels with you at the alter at the end of it all but you.
