I think you need to stop for a second.

I don't believe any form of drug or medication can help one touch God. Nor have I ever claimed it was possible. You brought up that some people I've never even heard of believe such things, and now you're just accusing me of agreeing with them out of the blue.

Are you sure you don't need meds? lol

Acts 2:38 still works well, the power of Holy Ghost led prayer still saves the soul. Sorry, if all that never worked for you, I am sincerely sorry, but the drug scene never worked for me. So, you just bringing around the same old gal, just wearing a different dress. No matter how much make up you put on that girl she is still old and not able to give peace. Sorry Chris, I am honestly sorry for you.
I believe in divine healing. However, I don't believe any form of medication is a "sin".

Quote:
That's your biggest problem. You work through what you feel, instead of what the Bible instructs us to do. It isn't about feelings, it is about allow Jesus Christ to do the work in us.
But we're not talking about the Bible. We're talking about you. I get the feeling that you don't like change.

Quote:
The Holy Ghost still works, repentance led by Jesus Christ still changes everything. Growing to a place in Christ where He wants us to be is still the plan of the day. You my boy, have been tempted, and sadly fooled by a world who sin't your friend.
Taking medication is still not a sin.

Quote:
Galileo was a coward, who changed his position by fear of death. Jesus didn't, He went to the execution, because through death He would bring life to all. Trickle down economics? Bro, I am the city and country called CHRIST. aS Ephesians were from Ephesus, I am in Christ and therefore call my self a Christian. health care? I knew saints of God who lived happy long lives never went to a doctor (I'm not against doctors) they lived without any insurance. Should I have demanded them to get something they never used? They are gone, to meet their maker, they lived in a world outside of your box.
Taking medication is not a sin.

Quote:
Chris, you are a wolf, because you lay among the sheep waiting to devour the young, the weak, the sick, the injured, and the dying. We don't matter to do you, in the immortal words of Sherri's husband we are imaginary friends. Your interactions with us is like pieces on a board game. You play for awhile, and then when you are through you walk away. The real focus is that you may be able to pull someone away from the true Physician, the supernatural healer, who has the spiritual balm which heals forever.
Taking medication is not a sin.

Quote:
You want to wrap yourself in political correctness. Calling attacks when that isn't the case. Arguments are met, yet you are the one who wants to glide around them.
Taking medication is not a sin.

Quote:
Chris, this is typical of you. You want everyone to gaze at the bug, as if we can't read the other poster's responses to you. Chris, you are offering us a Jesus who through the help of narcotics will lead us to a brighter day. Sorry, anyone needs to come around would be you.
Taking medication is not a sin.

You are opening yourself up to things you clearly don't understand. You are a know it all, and because you are so foolish in your pridefulness you would indulge in something you would be unable to control. When was the last time you smoked weed? How much weed did you smoke? Was it rolled or in a water pipe bong?



Cocaine was in soda. What's your point? Should children drink a beverage with cocaine in it? Should school children smoke dubes before class to be more relaxed? Brave New World? Have you read it? Better question would be, do you understand it?



You are being disingenuous, but that isn't odd for you. You are a professional shapeshifter, it is like muscle memory for you. It is a reflex. Natural medications like ginseng, white willow bark from which aspirin is made isn't the same as the psychotropic plants used in religious rites. You go around telling people aspirin is the same as opium they would put you on ignore. Losing all credibility to continue the discussion.



The sorcery which we are directed to in the Bible isn't penicillin, or your aspirin. They were hallucinogens used in religious rituals. You already posted how we should use psychotropics and prayer, therefore you are a few thousand years too late. The ancient religions already had the idea, you are just a Johnny come lately look for the impressionable among us to swoon.



Wine and all foods are prohibited in gluttony. Anyone who has had stomach issues don't drink a huge glass of anything fermented, hence a little wine. Chris, you really don't have an honest bone in your body? Wine isn't the same as THC. You can drink a little wine, but one dube can take you out.



Scholars who are these scholars? Scholars also say that Jesus wasn't God. Scholars also say that Jesus may have a tomb where his bones are found. Need I say more? We all can find a scholar who will and can be used to prop up our stories.



Relly? When was the last time you smoked a joint?



Who pays you? Are you serious? Are you opening a medical marijuana store in Ohio? Chris, this is being legalized because of what was being done in the 1970s? Where were you in 1979? Because I knew of individuals who already had this planned out. It is for our government to make money. Opium was legal dude, it didn't help the masses, it killed us. Wake up.



Partaken in what? Curious about what Chris? Spell it out, I'm waiting for this one. Boy you sure don't seem to remember what you post to people on this forum. Good God from Zion.

It is not a sin to take any form of medication or natural remedy.

More typical Aquila distraction.

Listen Aquila Dancing Bear Good Morning Sunshine the Earth Says Hello. You said Prayer and natural remedies. Those natural remedies isn't Ginkgo Biloba and Grape Nuts Cereal. We are talking about psychotropic hallucinogenic plants. Big difference dude.

I bet you think when you do that it is a smooth move. No, sorry, we weren't broad brushing all medications and natural remedies. We you and I were talking about psychotropic hallucinogenic plant life. Big difference Wavy Gravy.

Guess what Mr Wizard, this is a Christain Forum, no matter what we are speaking about Bible gets involved. Maybe you should find some Hippy Druid forum to hang out at.

Aquila looks like you need help, lots of it.

Not at the forum level. This medium isn't helping you at all. You get worse with every passing year.

Great, we can agree that taking medication is not a sin.

Now, as far as medical cannabis, or using cannabis in its various forms as part of natural healing, it is
clearly up to individual conviction and legality.

As with alcohol, a Christian should deeply consider their reasoning for its use, and be cautious so as avoid "drunkenness" in our daily living.

There are Christian vets who use Indica before bed. It helps with sleep and their symptoms typically cease for several days before they see symptoms beginning to return and treat again. No hangovers or side effects that are so common with prescription medications.

Like I said, I consider it a matter of individual conviction.

I'm sure that some who came from the "drug culture" will not feel comfortable with it, and I respect that. But for many of us who have no experience in illegal "drug culture", our encounter with cannabis comes from the legal dispensaries, coffee shops, and natural healing communities.

Aquila, couple of questions.
1. Why is it that on various threads on this forum the same topic is posted about cannabis? It seems to be peppered all over the forum.

2. Why does it seem like you want to convince every reader that medical cannabis is ok. If your going to use it then why not just use it. Why the debate? Again it seems as if you need everyones approval to justify.

3. Just reading your post it as if you have this struggle and you want someone to give you the "GO" so you can be justified in using marijuana. I doubt any Apostolic would give you that approval.
