    City of Brotherly Love has 1,000 Looters

    Ok... After reading the story, The parents got their house back. All they needed to do was kick out their 22 year old son who was selling heroin out of his parents house.

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    Then there's the whole thing with honoring the Government. I knew a girl who had a big time habit of chewing gum. But she was going on a mission trip to a country that didn't allow chewing gum. It was illegal. We all poked fun at her for going. She was going to be in withdrawal and etc...

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    As far as drug wars go... It's an economic thing. It's not going to stop the violence by legalizing it. Even if it was free by government subsidy there still would be guys out on the street corners reselling it saying that they have the "really good stuff" And they should try their brand. But...

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    One thing as an electrician... I am a commercial/industrial electrician. Meaning that if it's a plant that manufactures something or an office building...I make it. Marijuana isn't just grown in the jungle of South America or in the rows of corn anymore...it requires an automated facility...

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    That's just it... There are many more effective and efficient drugs that the proponents of marijuana don't want to talk about. Most of the symptoms that marijuana and CBD proponents discuss as being effective for are actually psychosomatic... So... When Jesus asks the question, "Do you want...

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    This is one of those very important truths... It can be anything. It can be a career, a relationship, habit, an addiction...just about anything. An identity in something other than the Christ. I am a lot of things to many people, husband, father, electrician, and former chef. But I always...

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    Sorry... I thought that I was talking to someone else...I didn't look closely enough because I was grinding beef for hamburger and then making hamburger helper. But... In the original of "work out your salvation..." The verb is one of continuous action... Some translations say "daily" or...

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    So now you go to personal insults claiming that I don't know scripture hermeneutics? Yeah... You sure are demonstrating that love John talked about in his letter... Making my first thoughts extremely accurate.

    Take it up with God... But if I was you be sure to wear a diaper when you meet Him.

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    "Work out your salvation continuously with FEAR and TREMBLING. " Any of that ring any bells? And if you aren't... You are only a member of a "good guy club".

    Is it right for a Christian to hold a Bible in one hand and a doobie in the other?

    I don't understand why some people insist upon keeping some sort of pet sin or idol worship. You are either God's slave...or you aren't. To become a slave you have no "rights" to do anything anymore. You belong to God. Including getting high, drunk, or anything else like that.
