... 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.
