Did Jesus smoke weed in the bible, or did he toke hash?
535005
I believe that Jesus was the original founder of 420. When he spoke with his deciphers he encouraged them to toke on the green before they prayed. This way they would have a better understanding on what they were told to do. Before you can ask if Jesus smoked weed, you need to ask how he created it. Or was weed part of the earth before Jesus? It is like asking what came first the chicken or the egg or Jesus or weed?

It's a proven fact that smoking is bad for your health.  If it's bad for your body, then it's one of satans ploys to keep you from doing whats best. We're supposed to take good care of our bodies.\n Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." We know this verse is true and we ought to present our bodies a living sacrifice to a most holy God. With this in mind, let me ask you, did your first use of tobacco come at the suggestion of God? Were you in church services when the pastor convinced you, from the Word of God, that you ought to use tobacco? Or did someone other than a faithful servant of God introduce you to tobacco?\nDo you use tobacco in the name (by the authority) of the Lord Jesus? Does the Spirit of God lead you in the use of tobacco? Romans 8:5, "So they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit."\nI Corinthians 10:31, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God:". When you use tobacco, can you give God the glory for using it? Or do you wish you had never started using tobacco? Can you thank God that you use tobacco?\n\nWould Christ have used tobacco? That's very doubtful, isn't it? If you use tobacco, are you being like Christ?\n\n I Corinthians 6:19, "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?" When we are saved, our body becomes the temple of the Holy Ghost, and we shouldn't defile the dwelling place of the Holy Ghost with ungodly tobacco usage.

That would suggest that your friend Jesus (probably pronounced Hayzeus) was perhaps a rastafarian. Does he start a lot of his sentances with the phrase "I and I"? \n\nOh, and it means that smoking weed will somehow bring down "the man". perhaps by funding those who work outside the law lad down by "the man". \n\nIt has nothing to do with the actual Babylon of old or even Chaldea the second Babylon. Babylon is a way to say the world as created by "the man". \n\nTake that with a grain of salt though. I am the man. I'm bad. I'm so bad I should be in detention.

Actually the Bible only condemns certain foods for Jewish people, later in the New Testament it says that all things are cleansed by God's grace with the giving of thanks. Basically the premeal prayer

Jesus spoke quite explicitly about the written Scriptures and the oral traditions. Bible students today also see a clear difference between the so-called "Torah" (the written Hebrew Scriptures, or "Old Testament") and oral works which became the Mishnah and Talmud.\n\n(Matthew 4:4) [Jesus] said: “It is written, ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through Jehovah’s mouth.’”\n\n(Deuteronomy 8:3) Not by bread alone does man live but by every expression of Jehovah’s mouth does man live.\n\n\nClearly, Jesus respected the written Scriptures and taught respect for them. By comparison, note the disdain with which Jesus referred to the oral traditions:\n\n(Matthew 5:43-44) You heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 However, I say to you: Continue to love you enemies and to pray for those persecuting you; \n\n(Matthew 15:6-9) . . .And so you have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you, when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’” \n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20050101a/\nhttp://watchtower.org/archives/index.htm#bible

Religion doesn't want you to know what it was really like back in biblical days. Food always was a problem. Meat was a luxury. After the growing season (there was no refrigeration) if you didn't have enough food to last, or if there was a bad crop or flood or insect damage, the people had to forage for food in order to survive. Which means , pick up anything that was edible, any leaf, plant  or root that could be chewed & swallowed was food. When that was depleated people actually picked up a handful of dirt and swallowed it in order to to take away hunger. If you ate the wrong plant or root you could halucinate. The root of the Payote Cactus, Mugwort,  etc are plants that contain halucinagins. The people didn't know. Eat it and you could see a staff turn into a snake like in the Bible. When Jesus went into the desert for 40 days did he bring a hundred pounds of food? When prophets claim that  they heard God it's never asked. "What did they eat before?" Religion always gives you a cleansed version of what went on in Biblical times (for obvious reasons).  If you would study the History of Civilization on this planet at a university (not from a religion) you will gain a better understanding of what really went on. And you would question a lot of things they tell you to believe. Religion is always much more popular with uneducated people (no offense intended).

I've been looking forward to the opportunity to use this essay in an answer.  Thank you.\n\nA letter to the religious right involved in Reagan's war on marijuana \n\n\nI am not a Christian nor am I a pothead, however, after speculating over the role of the Christian right in the criminalization of marijuana usage and possession, I found it necessary to make an argument using Christian methods against it.  I feel that it is necessary to add that I was raised christian so I do not intend to use bible verses that I know nothing about.  I know the bible just as well and better than many Christians.  I am also a psychology student in college and the psychological information I will use in my argument came directly from textbooks and lectures on the subject.  I have two arguments to discuss, the first using strictly biblical elements and the second with human physiological elements to enhance and accelerate the original.  \n\n \n\nThe arguments involved are sophomorically simple.\n\n \n\nGenesis 1:9-13 Says this:    9And God said, "Let the waters beneath the sky be gathered into one place so dry ground may appear." And so it was. 10God named the dry ground "land" and the water "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, "Let the land burst forth with every sort of grass and seed-bearing plant. And let there be trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. The seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came." And so it was. 12The land was filled with seed-bearing plants and trees, and their seeds produced plants and trees of like kind. And God saw that it was good. 13This all happened on the third day.\n\n \n\n27-31:     27\n    So God created people in his own image;\n       God patterned them after himself;\n       male and female he created them.\n    28God blessed them and told them, "Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals." 29And God said, "Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. 30And I have given all the grasses and other green plants to the animals and birds for their food." And so it was. 31Then God looked over all he had made and he saw that it was excellent in every way. This all happened on the sixth day.\n\n \n\nThese two excerpts tell us two things:  God created the plethora of plants that we have on Earth and gave them to humans and animals for their consumption.  Marijuana and tobacco are the only drugs that grow naturally and do not have to be processed and synthesized before consumption.  Alcohol has to be processed and it is legal.  Marijuana is not.  The devil, serpent, satan, whatever you want to call the spirit of darkness has never and will never have the authority to change the godly composition of Gods creations.  The devil did not put the active ingredients in the marijuana plant and it would be impossible for him to cause the second part of my argument involving the physiology of humans nervous systems.  The only power he has is to deceive and deception cannot change the fact that God made plants and people the way we are physiologically.\n\n \n\nThe active ingredients in marijuana pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system where they bind to three different receptor sites on the neurons.  These receptors are called Delta 9 THC, 2-AG, and Anamine receptors.  These receptor sites are activated only by cannabinoids from the marijuana plant and nothing else.  Nicotine works in much the same way though there is only one receptor.  All other drugs work by manipulating natural receptors in the brain that neurotransmitters use normally.  For example, PCP works as a glutamate antagonist, blocking the natural processes of glutamate which works in opposition to the neurotransmitter dopamine.  When glutamate is blocked, dopamine takes over and too much dopamine in the b

Genesis 3:17 And to Adam he said: “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and took to eating from the tree concerning which I gave you this command, ‘You must not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground on your account. In pain you will eat its produce all the days of your life. 18 And thorns and thistles it will grow for you, and you must eat the vegetation of the field. 19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”\n\nSo, the bible clearly states that he is dead, not in heaven or the hell that the churches teach. He is in the ground!\n\nTo learn more about what the bible really teaches, have your bible ready and visit www.watchtower.org, or you can contact me.

I am surprised by the amount of Christians that answered this question that apparently have not read their bible.  Yes it does say that in the bible, in the old testament in the laws that God gave to Moses.  Although it does give different scenarios like if the woman is raped inside the city she should be stoned to death because she should call out for help before it happens but if she is outside the city where there is no one to call for help, then she has committed no sin and should not be put to death.\n\nNo wonder people don't want to convert to Christianity when supposed Christians answer this way and apparently have not read what they claim to preach.

Morality is relative.  Keep in mind that it was acceptable for Roman men to have sex with young, teen boys.  Slavery used to be morally acceptable.  My point is, only you can decide if smoking weed is morally wrong.  Personally, I think if more people smoked pot, this planet would be a much better place.

Marijuana is not bad for your health bud. It does not destroy brain cells like alot of people think it does. It does not destroy your stomach lining. If you eat it, it does no damage to your body at all. There is no such thing as a "THC Gland" like one of the dudes above is talking about.\n\nAnd furthermore, there is a huge pile of historical evidence suggesting that Jesus Christ himself was a regular user of the herb.\n\nChrist was not Jesus' name. The name Christ comes from the greek word meaning "Messiah" or "Anointed One". What happened back in those days, the Hebrew people used a special oil to annoint their Priests and Kings. You could not use the title of Messiah unless you had been anointed in this oil. The oil was made from many herbs and spices including over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops (cannabis is the name of the plant marijauna comes from in case you didnt know). When Jesus was anointed by John the Baptist, he had a hallucination, or what he called a "vision" due to the effects of the oil. From that point on, Jesus considered himself enlightened, and used the oil and the herb freely in iniation and healing rites. \n\nSo if youre a christian. It would be hard to justify that something which the son of god did is a sin. So go out, smoke all you want. If you believe what Jesus believed, it will help you get closer to God. Good luck my friend, and dont listen to all the people that will tell you im full it sh*t. Im not, all ive told you is in the Bible and other historical documents from that time period. Check out the website of the Church of the Universe if you need more evidence. They have lots. Peace

Jesus is the king of Jews! We read the Holy Bible. God is awesome.

Jesus freed us from the old Jewish dietary laws.  He specifically said, "It's not what comes into a man's mouth that makes him unclean, but what comes out."\n\nAnd in the book of Acts, God says, "Do not call unclean what the Lord has made clean."

The way I see it ("IMHO"):\n\nKosher is rabbinical, not God's Law. i.e. I don't think He would be looking for the Rabbis' blessings/certification of what food is clean to eat.\n\nHowever, Yeshua has been around a long time & is not susceptible to being suckered into cult followings. He was with God before the universe was created. He was/is the Word. Moses wrote down God's Word - it is called Torah & has all the [perfect] laws of [perfect] God. So, when 'the Word became flesh & tabernacled among us' He knew the Law - He is the Author of it! He lived it, He taught it, He explained it. And He sinlessly kept it. (He didn't change any of the Torah Law; He did challenge and disregard some of the oral/traditional law of the rabbis.)\n\nFaithful believers are commanded to be holy (set apart for God) and to follow The Way of the Messiah. He is God; God is unchanging, "the same yesterday, today & forever." Eating unclean animals is abhorrent to God; an abomination. Yeshua didn't do it 2000 years ago; He would not eat unclean food now. (He "can do anything," but He *chooses* to be obedient to the will of the Father.)\n\nAnyway, my Savior did not suffer, die & rise for me (or any faithful believer) to eat ~Easter~ ham, shellfish, scavengers or anything unclean! (It is the Cult of Emperor Constantine & the Popes who co-opted the term "Christianity" and made changes to religious practices which are merely traditions of men. And they lead off the path of righteousness to destruction. You can't serve God & man - who are your going to follow & serve?)

God maks no mistakes! It is man who makes mistakes!\n\n  I can;t believe that Christians are answering in such a childish manner concerning this question. First of all the apple bit is a myth incerted into our bibles by those we allow to translate and print it .for the past three hundred years Jews have been translating and printing the Christians Bible and perverting it I believe in order to make us ignorant of GODs true word\n\n The BIBLE says to STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF THE APPROVED WORD OF GOD.  To do that you must not believe that simply because someone hands you a Bible it is the "approved word " of GOD. To do this you must put some effort in it in order to prove your love for GOD. You must research history and go back and research the anciant writings of the bible . The greek Septuagint is one such anciant manuscript of Gods true word, untouched by Jewish translator. It was left in the hands of the Greeks because God knew they would not misstanslate it  and would present it as it was given to them. You can purchase an English version of the GReek Septuagitn today in order to put all these childhood , judao myths to rest.\n\n   First there was no fruit such as an apple in the bible. i have several old versions and in my 1703 verson it says that EVE WAS BEGUILED BY the SERPENT which is to mean that Eve was sexually tempted and did partake of the serpant in sex. \n\n God calls all things fruit because they are the fruit of GODS labor Adam and Eve were the fruit of GOdS labor and so was Satan.He says be fruitful and multiply meaning this toward humans and the multiplying of the people. He warned Adam and Eve that they could partake of any fruit in the garden which consisted only of Adam and Eve and the other fruit that God forbade them to partake of was the Fruit ( creation of satan whoc had more knwledge than they) of knowledge which was satan himself.\nDictionary\n par·take    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (pär-tk)\nv. par·took, (-tk) par·tak·en, (-tkn) par·tak·ing, pa·takes \nv. intr.\nTo take or have a part or share; participate.  \nTo have part of the quality, nature, or character of something. \n\nv. tr.\nTo take or have a part in; share in.\n \n Eve was "Beguiled " (seduced ) by satan and that resulted in the son CAIN and later the Cannites.\n\nDictionary:Beguiled\n\nadj : filled with wonder and delight [syn: captivated, charmed, delighted, enthralled, entranced]\n\n     It was Cain who is the son of Satan and thusly the earthly seed of satan was born. \n\n  God warned them and Eve partook with satan once he beguiled and suduced her and then she shared with Adam whom when God asked why is it that they know they are naked, Adam responded " lord it is that woman you gave me." God was not madd at Adam because of the lust between Adam and Eve , He was angry because Eve disobeyed GOD and did partake of the fruit of knowledge ( the only one who had knowledge besides GOd at that time) and was impregnated with satans seed. God refers to all human creation as Fruit!\n\nGen 30:2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, [Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? \n\nExd 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine]. \n\nDeu 7:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. \n\n  In all transcripts of the Bible from 1611 back to the time of Christ there is no mention of an apple or the fruit of a tree . It read that Adam and Eve was not to partake of the fruit of knowledge whcih is the serpent satan. Jewish translation

Jesus was the opposite of a fundamentalist.  He was a liberal Jew.  You are right, he did take a more liberal view of the Torah, he taught that although it may have been the way and the truth in the past, but times they were a' changing.  He was revolutionary (in that he changed things drastically) but I don't think he was ever fundamentalist.  It is a few of those who have come since who have twisted his teachings into something different.

to smoke it regularly no, it was a herb that god put on this earth to be used for medicine. but we humans have abused it!
