... speak lies in hypocrisy ... commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received<br />
with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.’ (Paul: 1 Timothy 14)<br />
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food<br />
out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make his face to shineth. --Psalm<br />
104:14-15<br />
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose<br />
seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Gen 1:12)<br />
And God said, ‗Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth,<br />
and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.<br />
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the<br />
earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat‘: and it was so…(Gen 1:29-31)<br />
And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked,<br />
and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed...<br />
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and<br />
said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. Exod 3:2, 4<br />
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and<br />
of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which<br />
bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the<br />
healing of the nations. …(Rev 22:1-2)<br />
Although He lived among marijuana smokers, He said not to criticize their habits. … ‗ render therefore<br />
unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be Gods‘ … (Luke 20 25)<br />
As we have already seen, it was God, not government, who gave man the seed bearing herbs to use.<br />
Nothing in either the Bible or the U.S. Constitution says we can imprison those who follow their<br />
conscience and use marijuana in good faith.<br />
http://www.iahushua.com/T-L-J/MariC.htm ...what is the word of God in relation to cannabis / hemp /<br />
marijuana? … The hemp plant (scientific name: cannabis, nickname: marijuana) is one of the many useful<br />
herbs "yielding seed after its kind" (Genesis 1:12) blessed on the third day of creation and presented to<br />
people for use in conjunction with our free will.<br />
God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth....to<br />
you it will be for meat’. ... And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.<br />
(Genesis 1:29-31)<br />
The Lord said ...Afore harvest, when the bud is perfect …cut down the branches. (Isaiah 18:4-5)<br />
http://www.holyhemp.org.../a bible study concerning a god-given plant marijuana …<br />
Rather than rely on a single text and pretend to defend it as the one true Bible, two different, widely<br />
available, and respected Bibles are used to show that the conclusions reached are not a fluke of some<br />
spurious translation.<br />
The selection of these versions is arbitrary. Any scholarly study/chain link Bible can be used to reach<br />
exactly the same conclusions. These Bible translations were separated by 76 years of intense scholarly<br />
research and produced by two independent groups. The two Bibles used for this study are:<br />
The Authorized (King James) Version. Using The Scofield Reference Bible, Copyright 1900, 1917 by the<br />
Oxford University Press.<br />
The New American Standard Translation. Using the Ryrie Study Bible, Copyright 1976, 1978 by The<br />
Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.<br />
Old and New Testament verses are used to show continuity in God's treatment of marijuana. God's mind<br />
has not changed.
