Should Christians Smoke Weed? | Pastor Reacts

[@sandalschurch]

This video is getting a LOT of attention. For those who have found this video 3 years after it was posted, what brought you here?

[@sheily9200]

Trying to find answers.

[@KurtisGoodwin]

I wanted to see what this protestant pastor had to say about smoking weed. I grew up in a Protestant church and left after studying the history of the church and the reformation. This pastor is giving a sermon and literally read one verse out of the Bible then gives you his explanation of his interpretation of Matthew giving no context to the verse. 1 John 4-8 states God is love and he created us through love and through love we come to know him. I Would have loved to see him invite those people to his church and listened to what they had to say. Hoping they didn’t go to his church shows where his heart is. Jesus came for the spirituality broken, invite them in and help them, don’t push judgement and disengagement please.

Demons in my head. Ive been sober this July 4th clean from opioids for 5 years. I still fight this demons specially when Im been tested. I don’t drink or smoke cigars. Once in a while when Im in my head I smoke weed and I try ro justify that is better than alcohol or pills but it messes with me mentally because I have guilt from smoking it the next day.

I smoked weed for a long time. I told myself that it makes me feel better, that it helps me focus, that it takes away my pain. I would say, I can follow Jesus and still smoke. Over the years God has shown me the negative effects weed has on me. The laziness, the overeating, the forgetfulness. Those things were keeping me from being close to Him and kept me from being what He has planned for me. It's a process, but God is good

@@mikeDeSales943 Why are you bringing up morphine in a conversation about weed? Weed comes from the plant group Cannabis and morphine comes from the Papaver group, which is another plant. Granted to make morphine you need to process it a lot, however, with weed, just dry it out, one requiring a lab the other requiring just a green thumb. lol

[@mikeDeSales943]

@@DahliaLegacy That's not the point, the point is that morphine and marijuana are both from plants that are used for a certain purpose for medical reasons, and some people use them for recreational purposes too, which clearly are not okay. Now of course I realize that morphine is far worse. That's just what I was getting at.

[@eltonron1558]

@mikeDeSales943 I don't see medicinal as recreational. I see weed as motivational at the beginning of a day, and settling before bed. That's not recreational either.

The Torah says the Sabbath day is the 7th day of the week but Christians claim the first day of the week is the Sabbath. Those PPL are in more violation of the Torah than using cannabis. Why Scripture says it's not what goes into the stomach that's sinful, but what comes out of the heart. And what comes out of the heart is disobedience to the Torah is what defiles a man.

If I remember my Bible, Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us, and that's how people will know that we are true disciples of Christ. I pray these boys found strong leadership in the church they were attending and they weren't discouraged to keep searching and learning about Jesus.

I have been struggling with this issue since I was saved. I justified it for as many here in the comments. I stopped drinking and taking pain meds. My life improved.I was just smoking weed. I have fasted from it and went back. The effect when I restarted was intense. Last week I asked the Holy Spirit to give it to me straight. I then happened upon a saying by Plato of all people. It is not how much you have, but how little you need. It struck me that I'm in bondage to weed. It's about being chained to it. He breaks all chains. When you justify sin it becomes bondage with you as it's defender. Don't underestimate the Adversary. Work out your salvation with trembling brothers and sisters.

I disagree with this completely , God works on everyone in his own timing . We don’t change over night . He changes our hearts and he convicts each person for different things at different times . That man probably does know Jesus , but Jesus hasn’t changed that part of him yet . God saved me from a severe meth addiction . He has been changing me and healing me .Transfomring my life Over the past 8 years . I smoke weed sometimes amd no one can try to convince me ever that I don’t know Jesus . If God doesn’t want me to smoke then he will convict me and cause me to want to stop . He convicts me big time when I slip up and have a cigarette or when I am talking bad about people or thinking bad thoughts about people . I don’t think anyone has the right or authority to claim that someone does or doesn’t know Jesus and that shouldn’t even be our focus . God can use anyone to reach someone .

Does that mean that individuals who take pharmaceuticals for heart disease or high blood pressure or diabetes are practicing witchcraft and going against God? I am not playing with semantics here. I just want to be clear on what he is saying! It's a serious question with no ill intent. Would someone be able to clarify exactly what he means by stating that pharmaceuticals are not the way of God? I personally love Jesus Christ and it was because of him that gave me the courage to overcome drinking alcohol and face what was causing me to do so! I would also like to add that I love this world! And I'm learning to love every person that I encounter. These individuals these people humans if you will, are part of this world of which God created.

And yet still I find truth in this sermon. There are things we will be convicted of we have not been convicted of yet. I don't totally disagree agree with this guy or o totally agree with this guy I found that opinionated and not of God but some of what you said I did feel of God in it. As for the pastor the fruits are not done in him you are correct but As Christian the fruits will be present in you and mabe that's not the way to do guys. I smoke weed too I am a work in progress desperately clinging to hope and to life to be changed inside and out to be saved I repent everyday and if you ask me if I know Jesus I would say I hope Jesus knows me he does but he is very disappointed in me also and just because he hasn't convicted you yet doesn't mean it's his will not too. Seeds bring fruits in you. What the pastor us saying is getting around smoking weed and reading scripture with a bunch of people doesn't sound like the way to do it. There are portals doors through movies t.v music games drugs the world loves stuff we struggle with the world but we need to love on more. But to match the love Jesus has for us or you or me perfect and we can never touch that but with the struggle between the earth the flesh the spiritual. We should strive for it. Jesus Christmas the only hope we gave left. Its not perfect with what I'm saying but let's all love and pray for each other that's what I'm saying.

As a young man, high on marijuana, l prayed and offered my soul to Satan to play the guitar. I thought nothing happened, but soon noticed weird paranoid thoughts. I also played the guitar for hours when high. 15 years later after smoking dope daily l became a Christian. I had to be healed and delivered to break the dope addiction. 15 years later at an Alter call l went forward for prayer to share the gospel and in prayer it felt like a giant python was coming out my stomach. The pastors wife who was praying with us said " its coming out his stomach" then when it left an amazing anointing came upon me for several minutes until l couldn't take it any more and asked God to stop, l was sobbing with joy by now.

[@scottswoodcraft1026]

I agonize over this myself. I went through a period where I felt like God was telling me to stop so I did. I believe it was a crutch that I was using and using to much. I do believe that I wouldn't be where I am today without it though and that's alive and alive in Jesus through his sacrifice on the cross. I'm diagnosed as BPD and have severe ptsd and adhd. My mind is in constant chaos for lack of a better word. When I was high I did feel more at peace and I could think more clearly and actually connect more with God. I read a lot of these comments from those against and can't help but feel like you have no idea what you are saying as well as scripture being used out of context. You have no idea what it's like to live like a monster. I keep coming back to when Paul told Timothy to drink wine to help with his ailments. Wine is specifically forbidden in scripture to pastors such as Timothy but yet Paul tells Timothy to take wine. I'm sure Timothy didn't take that to mean drink up and get drunk but would drink wine as needed for his ailment. Scripture says to be sober minded but what does that mean to those whose minds are in chaos? Am I more sober minded if I'm calm or am in his Will when I'm at my worst? After a while when I quit I found myself being very agitated, thoughts of violence, desperation etc. At that point I felt like He was telling me that it was ok if I didn't abuse it like I was doing. I take it in small quantities like micro-dosing. Enough to calm my mind but not feel high all the time like I used to. I honestly think it's between you and Him. I don't want to condone it for anyone. I think in most instances it is wrong but I do think that it can help some that have mental issues especially as it relates to having a calm or sober mind vs having a mind in chaos. I've noticed in some comments that prayer and worship have been better and I can agree with that and have felt it myself. I feel more connected and calmer. I still have my bad days but I try to fight through it and only use when I feel really out of control with my emotions. I really only want to serve him so I just offer my perspective. I offer my comments in love and hope that I wouldn't lead anyone astray. Please pray about it. Maybe for some it's ok when it's used correctly. I can't believe that he would condone the use in recreation or just being high. I honestly never liked being high but it was better then living my life in chaos and deep depression and suicidal idealization. For now I only take enough to calm my mind. For those that really don't know what it's like to be in that state of mind that you would seriously pray before spouting off on those who really struggle and have issues that you can't even begin to comprehend. For me being in a world of violence and sexual abuse as a child from someone that claimed to be a Christian it is a slap in the face when I hear just give it to God or beat over the head with a scripture that may or may not be used correctly is not a help for those that really need help. The damage to the brain not to mention the lack of development in brains can prohibit those who have been through this kind of trauma. I can't control my emotions because of the damage to my brain and trauma I've endured. Can God cure me? Absolutely I believe that, but God doesn't always cure does he? Paul himself lived with a thorn in the flesh. Like Paul I know that his grace is sufficient for me. Like Timothy sometimes what is considered by most to be a sin is actually a help. To often the church falls into legalistic thinking and base theology more on traditions and stigmas vs what scripture actually says. To often people like myself are condemned by those whose own minds they understand, but don't have the capacity to understand the mind of abused victims. This is only my perspective and there are others that have their own such as pain management or other debilitating diseases and such. I won't judge them because of it and quite frankly we are told not too. Be a light for those who struggle. We need all the light we can get. Pray for us.

[@pmczapczara5332]

I think you are are on the right track, and there are many like us. I believe our spirit is sealed in salvation and that it is then ours, his gift to us. Sanctification is the lifelong process that begins thereafter and is very personal indeed. Over the last 7 years in particular I have had to try to deal with something I call soul pain. Its the pain of the brain that comes most commonly from childhood trauma. As you work on yourself, as your post clearly testifies you are....as I am too...finding that peace, yet within personal conviction seems a healthy place to be. The psychiatrist, psychologist and the neurologist are all COMPLETELY unable to fix the trouble in our minds, yet they are quick to prescribe pills, just to treat the SYMPTOMS. It sounds like you have found a means to find peace in your wounded mind (soul pain)....as have I....yet still feel the conviction of it being a detriment, and I think that helps to moderate the use with a definite measure of self medication, and self control, rather than just all out high all the time. Again, I think you are on the right track, and there are many like us. I appreciated your indepth and personal thoughts. Peace and God bless.

We know he made it for us to use it yet you continue to deny reality. Everything is intelligently designed and it is no accident we are hard wired to recept cannabis ecclesiastes 3:1 For everything under the heavens has a purpose. Stop slandering God and manipulating and denying verses and taking things out of context and ignoring the in your face truth. Not to mention youre supporting prohibition by feeling this way which means raids and state sanctioned theft and even murder. Thou shalt not kill or steal. I bet you take pills dont you and have health problems. Ecclesiastes 9:7 eat thy bread drink thy wine and be merry. Noone drinks wine medicinally. Bible never says thou shalt not consume cannabis and certainly doesnt ok pharmaceuticals. Cannabis use helps lots of people to be more in control, it calms pstd, anxiety and more. Youre not a Christian. And before prohibition the church didnt condemn marijuana. Before prohibition NOONE had anything negative to say about marijuana. Prohibition is built on lies. Thou shalt not lie. Cannabis doesnt causr one to lose self control. Your whole argument is built on lies. The bible acknowledges medicine but never once does it say to use chemicals to make drugs with then pack them into pills and take them. Plants were the drugs and medicines back then as thats the way God intended it. Get over it and shame on you.

So we’ll paint them as evil while we steal the land in the background. Pastors like this are awful and need to check themselves.

I have been abusing THC for a while now and know it's wrong...at least for me it is. Satan brings fear, doubt and anxiety. Well, anyone who is a chronic weed user should know these are some classic symptoms if you take too much at once and oftentimes even in small amounts. It also makes you much more tempted to eat non stop and watch porn and masterbate in a chronic manner. Anyone denying this has to be lying unless my experience is completely isolated which i doubt. Plus it just keeps you in a cloudy state when under the influence. I've used for years and am now using CBD combined with very small amounts of THC to quit. I have to say, i feel more connected and happier about myself when not getting high all the time. And i an to stop all drugs through the power of God's and Jesus grace. With that being said, i do think this preacher has a somewhat of a haughty attitude. He shouldn't be yelling and outraged acting imo. That's his own thing that he needs to fix. I do his overall message is correct but i also think he should examine himself more too.

[@Mawndow]

The Bible is clear that drinking in moderation is not just okay but a good thing. I believe the same for cannabis, however 3 things to consider. 1. The legality of it in your area, God forbids breaking the law. 2. The amount and consistency of the use; cannabis is bred to be very potent nowadays so finding some that is low-potency or using just a very small amount (micro dosing) is important. 3. Your body is a temple and we know smoke is bad for your lungs so avoiding that method (vape or edibles instead). I also believe the science has shown it has Medical potential, so using it in a medical setting as an alternative for more harmful medications could be beneficial.

In my opinion, the government's ridiculous Class 1 narcotics classification and the stoner culture, are what has corrupted the viewpoint for so many people. Cannabis is 10 times safer than alcohol, yet most people, (including Christians), would agree that alcohol in moderation is completely fine, but Cannabis in moderation is all of a sudden a sin and cuts you off from Yahweh?

I smoked cigarettes 🚬 weed did mushrooms 🍄 slept around got my heart broken 💔 ended up in multiple car wrecks got stabbed and got married in the middle of this crap... my ways didn't change for long and I was using meth in my late 20s to lat 30s cheated on my wife got into multiple fights and The prayers of friends and family are the reason God saved me... I have been in jail multiple times and what's crazy is I never stopped praying 🙏 and talking to God... I don't know what gave me the right to always pray when I was living in such filth... my best friend shot himself on my birthday while I was in jail for carrying a legal gun without a permit.. and then I got caught twice more for the same reason.. I knew what I was doing was kife threatening so I ALWAYS carried my pistol... and then I got in huge trouble and ended up getting a 110 month sentence multiple felonies and got out used for a while and then my best friend who I connected with like no other person EVER was shot and killed by police officers a half hour after they let me out of jail for a violation.. God stopped me from going to visit that friend that day.. he asked me right when I was released to visit and I got this overwhelming feeling of DREAD and fear 😨 so I told Jeff I would see him after 🎄 ✝️ and it happened right when I sat down on my couch 🛋 I felt him die in the pit of my stomach 💔 😢 I Never used meth again 💔.. it took my friends life and everything was crazy so I prayed.. Jesus kept me from going to prison for 110 months and I got 10 years of probation 🙌 I have been sober for almost 6 years now 😊I don't know why he saved me and not ANY of my friends.. but I love him so much 😢 and I still don't know sometimes that I am truly saved these thoughts creep in my heart that I am not really a Christian and I'm not going to heaven it is my worst fear that I am going to die and be turned away from Jesus but I know that is satan trying to rob me of peace and I reject him in Jesus name 🙏 plz pray for me that I will be there for my son and daughter and wife.. that I will KNOW that I am God's and I will know him on the most personal level ever... I am in his debt... 😢don't know why he kept me from death.. but I sure am grateful

Smoking weed helps with my mental illnesses. I don’t believe in medication they try to feed me because it makes everything worse. I don’t smoke everyday but sometimes it’s nice to slow my mind down and give me a break, it’s nice. I hardly ever smoke more than twice every other day. I’m not addicted to it I can drop it instantly if I wanted to but it helps. I grew up in church, I have been saved, and I am currently diving back into the Bible. What made me come back to the Bible is weed. I had smoked one night and me and my twin were talking about it (he isn’t a Christian). I got to thinking and yes I was a little high; I got a Bible I started looking into it again and I have excepted Jesus as my savior and god as my father. You say it’s bad but I just don’t believe it, I suffer from depression, anxiety, and I have been showing signs that lead to being bipolar (still going to therapy to check it out). It helps me concentrate and focus. I came from a video that talked about how it was bad because it withdraws you from others. But your wrong. Half the time I don’t believe y’all understand or know what y’all talking about sometimes. That’s just my personal experience.

What kind of relationship with Jesus would require a mediator to make you feel closer to him? A false one. Ever thought that maybe the reason you feel so good and close to God when you do it, is actually because the enemy wants you to feel that? There is absolutely nothing better than blissful ignorance, what if this drug that you apparently have to have in order to build that relationship with God, is the enemy finding the perfect chain? If you do not feel close to God without drugs, thats because there is no real relationship. Reflect on that.

[@cPARKer12]

@@blowtorchxlWise words. I have been addicted to it off and on. Many aspects of my life have been destroyed from it. I have felt closer to God from it. Yet that is only sometimes. Weed induces stress. It amplifies any emotions that are in the head before smoking. If someone’s mad when they smoke, they get madder. If someone’s happy, they get happier. If someone’s relaxed. They get more relaxed. Many people get relaxed and happy from the weed. Many people believe it is the cure for their troubles. That can easily become the delusion of the devil. Sure it may help with chronic pains and such. But it’s important to be true to one self. Weed is a reflection of self. A greater showing, because it amplifies emotions. It makes people more expressive. It makes people believe in themselves that everything they do and have done is good. It eases people. Life is not meant to be easy. There is not supposed to be some power plant that makes people truly connected to God. This isn’t a video game. The magic mushrooms have no power. All things must be done in moderation. All habits, all acts, all hobbies. All addictions. All mindsets. If it were true that weed brought us closer to god just by the amount of it used by the user; the Catholic Church would smoke widespread. In the cathedrals and during mass. But no one smokes weed at church. It’s believed by many that it’s unholy. Everything not of god must be mediated. The devil is crafty. He knows how to play peoples minds to a tee. Satan knows how to use humans as puppets. He wants to collect and ruin souls. Evil spirits will fill your head with voices. Envisions. Dreams. Thoughts. They will tell you that you are on the right track. Because all humans want to feel like they are accomplished within themselves. Everyone does. Nobody can deny that. Satan knows that. His evil spirit goes wherever it is allowed. Many times we do not realize we are holding the door open for Satan. If one is strong in faith. One will not give in. The door holding out the evil. Stays shut. That’s often the case with weed. People become overly reliant on it. Far often. A joint after a truly great accomplishment wont hurt. A bud after doing something remarkable. A smoke to help with injury. Sure. A small buzz after going through the sacrifice and hard ships of what it means to truly be successful in life. That’s fine. Simply when we become reliant on things, we slip up. We cave into our relievers and desires. Because the devil knows. But the Lord knows all. Put the blunt out. And pick the book up. The holy Bible. Amen.

You're welcome to copy and paste it this well. Here are some key verses to make these points: Ecclesiastes 9:7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. ( confirms that it is ok to drink wine, and we all know any wine gives a buzz ) , remember to bring up the take the bible as a whole argument, and finally : Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. and the usual God gave man every seed bearing herb. of course they'll say "not to get high though" to which you reply "you can't drink wine without getting a buzz" and use Eccles 9:7 and 3:1 and mention that Marijuana getting people a buzz is no accident, God designed it that way. Give him credit. They'll say falsely again that he didn't design weed to give a buzz. so then why does it do that? explain the science behind how it is build to work with the human body then as well? In the book of Genesis the seed bearing herbs are said to be for "meat" and in the book of timothy it talks about in the end times " meats" will be prohibited. sounds like a reference to prohibition as well. it states that these things are to be recieved with thanksgiving. 1 Timothy 4:4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 1 corinthians 2:12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
