Not understanding any of this Mathew , sorry,x

That’s your opinion, a Born Again would never be unfaithful to God, they have been Born Again of the Living Spirit Of God, I have been celibate the evening I became Born Of The Spirit, nearly 33 years ago...a Born Again cannot sin ,any way that’s another topic.
Okay. No sense in explaining because you didn’t ask, it’s clear… but anyway hope one day you will! You have a good day.

I don’t know if this true or not.

Well, I thought it was joke because its sort of funny. But with you having the position you do, I'm not so sure now that it hasnt happened. But I thought it was just a joke?

I guess the Lord hasnt taught you yet that...He works through others. Rivers of life will flow through you He said. We, as Believers are the physical manifestation of the Lord God on earth as the boots on the ground to let the Lord do His will through them?

That's pretty basic stuff, Brother. So I guess you do still have sme to learn.

The worst friend to have is one that says some off and then says they are just joking. Isn’t that a proverb somewhere?

Proverb 26:19
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, And saith, Am not I in sport?

so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”

Well we are not arguing. Thank you for swinging by and also sharing your testimony like you did, perhaps people will continue to abide in Yeshua and have those darkness of thoughts and motives slowly turn to goodness and light that comes from the heavenly. Many people have a lot of issues and not all of them are the same though they are really.

Hating, maligning, manipulating, greedy, jealousy, lying, all of these things reside within us, and are of the earthly and not of the spirit, the born again by the holy spirit of God you speak about all the time.

Ok you Brothers & Sisters tell me what you think of this situation.

I've been a pot smoker most of my life. I have also been Epileptic most of my life. When I was young, Iused it recreationally and I read the articles saying it was good for Glaucoma and good for epileptics. I used that as an excuse to smoke recreationally. But it never got out of hand. No way would I (or did I) ever go to work stoned. It's nice to be thinking clearly especially in my line of work. Nights & weekends kind of thing.

But eventually, I grew out of it. Smoking pot is a young man thing. I was about 35 then and wanted to set the pot down. So I did. And 3 days later I had the first epileptic seizure that I had in 18 years. I thought I had grown out of being epileptic too, and had gone totally off my medication for a long time without a seizure so I thought it was ok. 3 days later I did have a seizure by stopping smoking pot. SO I did what I should have and went to the doctor, EG and all that, back on medication.

I started smoking pot again too ust in case, because I had to drive for my work. Every job is a different house. I can't be having seizures in traffic! I started smoking again and went on medicine and I remained seizure free for another 11 years. And by that time, I wanted to quit smoking pot again. EH, that was prolly a fluke that happened before. So I did quit smoking pot again, after all, I was still on medication and everything was ok. 1 seizure in 11 years I didnt feel high risk. high risk. Stop smoking pot and exactly 4 days later I had another seizure. A grand mal seizure at 70 mph on the highway. I rolled the truck 3 times after hitting a tree. (It was the Lord saved my Life!!)

That proved one thing that day. It wasnt a fluke that I had a seizure from not smoking pot. First time I tried to quit, 3 days later. 2nd time I quit, 4 days later and on medication at the same time! SO guess what? I smoke pot. I have to drive to live. I have all sorts of things to do around town. Groceries, pay bills, buy stuff. I live alone and I dont have a chauffer, lol.

It's a young man thing, smoking pot. I dont want to be a pot smoker. I like being clear headed. I dont have to smoke much. A few hits in the evening keeps it in my system so I can feel confident enough to drive. Plus it's a good muscle relaxer and lets me sleep better. I got a lot of back damage in the accident.

What would you do, Brothers & Sisters?
I have prayed about it and the Lord's pretty silent about it. So I came to the conclusion that this is prolly just my thorn in the flesh?
I wouldn't feel any guilt about it. It's no different than taking any other medication to treat an illness.

?? Are you being obtuse on purpose? Or didnt you even read what I wrote?

It was a little thing that some Pastor threw in with one of his sermons, and I took it more as a joke rather than dogmatic, and I said that up front! SO maybe you didnt even read it and are sitting there all high and talking crap because you dont seem to have a clue about what people are talking about when the speak to you. I did not say it was a joke afterwards, I said it was a light hearted k=joke before I even wrote it. SO put the joint down and think for once. Geez.

Oh! Sorry. It was my little joke story about the guy who woke up to a flooded neighborhood, so He prayed to be rescued but wouldnt let himself be rescued and so died. He asked God for help so God sent 2 boats and a helicoptor but the man expected God to rescue him personally I guess.

That's what we're talking about.

That's the way it is for me. I do smoke MJ and wrote all about it on page 1 or 2 I think in this thread.

I dont wake and bake. I've never gone to work stoned. and only do it at night before bed as a muscle relaxer so I sleep better...and since I tried to quit smoking twice and had grand mal seizures in 3 days both times, It dont make much to keep it in my system.

One of my non smoking friends saw mr take out the pipe and take a hit one time, but then I put it away again after one hit. And He said he never saw that before, someone take one puff and set it down.

Smoking it is my only way of ensuring that I dont have have a grand mal seizure. Last time almost killed me so heck yeah I started smoking again! I dont feel convicted about it either, so I'm good.

I am always unsure of sources connected to big pharma in relation to what is “effective” as a medication and what “side effects” mean when there are sometimes pages of them.

The medical “industry” (which it is) is geared for profit, not cures. There are very seldom cures sought or even mentioned...only “treatments” which is usually nothing more than symptom control with side effects that result in more drugs with side effects being prescribed.....what is a side effect? It’s the body rejecting what you have just put into it. No other drugs are going to make it happy, but will just mask more symptoms.

As you can see, I have very little faith in a medical system that promotes ill health whilst masquerading as doing something beneficial. Doctors today are just “pimps” for drug companies....they consult their little book on which pills or procedures to give their patients, relying on the fact that their clinical trials are actually legitimate. A lot is “doctored” in that very greedy system....but if their drugs mask symptoms and make you feel better, you are likely to be convinced that taking their “medicine” for the rest of your life is actually helpful.....it’s helpful for their bottom line.

The Bible condemns drunkenness, not drinking alcohol per se. Each person has their own level of tolerance so they need to stay within their limit.
Proverbs 20:1
“Alcohol is a ridiculer” ......and who can deny that after seeing how drunken people behave....

For some people, any mind altering drug can bring on a lurking mental condition. It’s not just Cannabis. Any mental illness can invite the demons because they will take advantage of any weakness in us to do their thing.
As a medicine, “weed” is not usually consumed by smoking, (that is more for recreation) but as a liquid medicine made with various strains of the medicinal plants. It has been used for millennia as a medicine by people all over the world. Freely grown and readily accessible as a medicinal plant, (it grows like a weed, hence its nickname) there were no worries about it ever being a problem......that came in the 20th century when patent medicine began to become a money spinner and cannabis was seen as a competitor for big pharma’s drugs.....so they did what is common practice.....they demonized one thing to introduce another, which is said to be more beneficial. It’s called propaganda...and it works. There are people today who still believe that cannabis is addictive and dangerous.....it is not physically addictive (though it can be phycologically addictive because of its relaxing effects on stress) people will turn to it as a stress reliever. Unlike alcohol however, it rarely causes any physical harm.

But again moderation in all things is the key.
There is only one reason for something beneficial to be declared as dangerous in this world.....it’s ruler does not want anything to be beneficial to those who want to serve God. (1 John 5:19)

There are a lot of plants that are beneficial medicinally, and used in the right way, can treat many conditions.

Drugs were never intended for the use they have in this world. The stress of daily living causes people to seek stress relief, and young ones are especially vulnerable to peer pressure and to experiment with some very dangerous stuff just to impress their friends.

Alcohol addiction continues to cause ill health globally, and to take many lives, because it has become a readily available way to self medicate. These are the “last days” and things are just getting worse....no wonder people seek relief...even temporarily. Only God has the solution....the coming of his Kingdom. (Rev 21:2-4)
"The medical “industry” (which it is) is geared for profit, not cures."

For sure sister! And if we ask the powers that be, why our meds in the U.S. like, 3x the price of other countries, they say something like "It's because we do most of the research!" leading most people I know to believe that the research is for a "cure", not research for more drugs! The money involved here, even in just the sales reps is unbelievable!


"....what is a side effect? It’s the body rejecting what you have just put into it. No other drugs are going to make it happy, but will just mask more symptoms."

I believe The Lord gave us ALL things that we would ever need for "medicine". His food, his plants and other things good for our bodies. I remember reading something like "Q-I have a headache, do you have an aspirin? A-Why, is your body lacking aspirin?" Lol. Something to think about.

"Doctors today are just “pimps” for drug companies....they consult their little book on which pills or procedures to give their patients, relying on the fact that their clinical trials are actually legitimate."

Yes, and compare these medical schools indoctrinating their students that it's all about the "medications" to these seminaries producing very watered down graduates. Whoop-de doo. Ya know even Charles Spurgeon never did go to seminary? He and another fellow were escorted to the wrong room. The other guy returned but, Spurgeon never did.

Proverbs 20:1
“Alcohol is a ridiculer” ......and who can deny that after seeing how drunken people behave...." <--- IKR??

"There are people today who still believe that cannabis is addictive and dangerous.....it is not physically addictive (though it can be phycologically addictive because of its relaxing effects on stress) people will turn to it as a stress reliever. Unlike alcohol however, it rarely causes any physical harm."

Agreed, not physically addictive. My only concern is how it is administered for things like anxiety, stress, and yes, even recreational. Smoking it is not good at all because of the lungs, of course but, I have no problems with edibles. Where there poses a huge problem, is if one drinks too much and THEN uses weed...that is a probability if they drive they will hurt themselves or some innocent person.

"There is only one reason for something beneficial to be declared as dangerous in this world.....it’s ruler does not want anything to be beneficial to those who want to serve God. (1 John 5:19)"

Amen. Satan's specialty is making good look evil and evil look good.

Good points :)

Talking about drugs, my vet charged me £50 for some dog cream to stop Jack from scratching a nasty growth on his cheek.

If I had bought it online it would have cost me £11:50p...what a darn rip off my vets are.

Sorry that I did not consider what you attributed to me as a joke. Seemingly for what reason? Not sure myself. If you are offended by my non-desire. I apologize.

Sure is. Playing with yourself and watching porno to much can damage and hurt a person, but idk about in moderation…

From what I understand, even porno in moderation will hurt you in different ways.

It opens the door to the demon of Lust and the demon of sexual immorality. I heard Derek Prince talk about it. He said the evil spirit will steal the sexual gratification from the man (person) and then suggests to the man that it's ok once in awhile. So it becomes a thing for the young man and eventually becomes a habit and then the habit turns to addiction and when a man is addicted to porn he is full blown possessed by that evil spirit.
Antime there is an addiction (to anything) there is possession behind it.

First the evil spirits entice you and get you to do it. (Hmm, might be ok once in awhile?) and it goes down hill from there into demon possession.

I admit, I had a very hard time for a long long time understanding when men look at porn. The last porn I ever seen ws the tittie magazines like Playboy under the mattress when I was aout 9 or 10 years old, lol. With more women than men on this planet, who needs porn?!

But Derek Prince cleared up all the confusion for me, lol! And I realized why I never had a porn problem ever. I dont look at it at all. Who needs it?

Same thing with hookers? WHo buys sex?! I never ever have in my life. The girls are giving it away for free. I was married for 26 years to the same girl, she had my two sons and I honestly never cheated on her. I didnt have kids all over town either! I've always been very picky with girls.

Whoa. Epiphiny! That must be why some guys do pay for sex! So they will go home and leave you with no responsibility, lol. And I wouldnt date them girls! One time I had a blind date that a friend ((?! LOL) fixed me up on. I came over and met the girl and I was being sort of stand offish cuz I wasnt sure about her. We was playing cards and talking and stuff. And she came out with, I wish I could get pregnant so I can get pregnant and get on welfare and get my s**t together...I guess she thought I was being shy and wanted to give me a hint, lol! I said well good luck with that! And excused myself.
I wonder if she ever got married, poor guy.

Hey man I love you. You don’t gotta be this way towards me. You seem to get a bit too, passionate friend you should relax.

Hmmm. Your very next post contradicts you.

If I hated you @amigo de christo i wouldn’t love God. you can say all kinds of stuff you think I need to take heed of, but your not my daddy.

I have one daddy. My Father in heaven.

You need to understand that and grip on to it tight. You’re not a messager for me to listen to from Yahweh, because Yahweh is the one whom I know to listen to already, and he allows and knows what I do.

Maye I missed it Brother, but could you point out the love in this post to your Brother in Christ?

I have one daddy and you aint it? !! Really?!! Wow, how much class you have at such a young age!

Sex itself is good, God created it and approved it to be able to function. The template was of male
and female.
Hmmm. Your very next post contradicts you.
Some would say I’m a walking contradiction, it’s for Yahweh to judge me. Not someone that comes and crosses my path, whether I am in a good position or my lowest position, and decides if I am a faithful person or not. Or that I do not love Amigo, and do talk to him very straight forward, and have spoken with each other in the past.
Maye I missed it Brother, but could you point out the love in this post to your Brother in Christ?
Whom are you to bring out my faults of not meeting your standards?
I have one daddy and you aint it? !! Really?!! Wow, how much class you have at such a young age!
He needs to know and understand that, because his responses at times are talking to me, personally sometimes feels like he has authority, it’s not true. No one can force a hand; to do what you may want it to do by your own hand forcing it on them or their own hand forcing you.

Well I was trying not to offend you and give an illustration that describes the stubborn position that you took.

If you had smoked a few less joints and studied your Bible more instead, you would see that we are all of us, of the body of Christ. You might be a foot? I might be a hand. But you would tell the hand to get off you because I am not the head? Isn't that sort of...stupid? Short sighted?

I'm not offended by your hesitance to share all your details, I am offended because of how you talk to your Brothers and Sisters when your conscience is bothering you. You could have been much more polite and said, Ahh, I dont want to go into the details if you dont mind...

But for some reason you wouldnt do that. Then you endeavor to convince people how much you love them and how much you love God? You are not being convinceing Brother.


1 John 4:20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?.../KJV

See what I mean?
Whoa! That would have to be scripture 420, huh!!! That's hilarious!! That's prolly God chiming in to show us, He is listening to us! That aint no co-incidence, lol! That is a God-Incidence !!! Wow..

Sources of Comfort...

If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that... Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2)

And there are three varieties...

Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma
Mental E/c2 - Mentally, A mathematical formula, but this has chemical and spiritual properties as well.
Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. - 1 John 1:5

God can take mass and turn it into plasma... God can take the plasma and reform it into mass. All to his will and imagination... No man being his counselor. Even then... How would we humans know to create living things out of the dust alone? Unfortunately, though, the light and the darkness interact here on planet Earth...Comparing the light and the darkness, the opposite of E/c2 would be z (absolute zero)/ d (darkness)...

Natural z/d - Nothing, empty space.
Mental z/d - Again nothing but empty space.
Spiritual z/d - z (emptiness , coldness, hatred) / d (fear, despair, greed, sorrow)

If God is God over mass and matter, then he also governs the spiritual as well. If we dwell in him and if he dwell in us there is no need for external sources of comfort.

Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. - Hosea 4:11

The sex, alcohol, and drug scene take away the heart and leave emptiness afterwards. And our souls will remain restless until we find our spiritual light and energy again in God. As it was said...

“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” - Saint Augustine

Agreed! One man and one wife. God said it is not good for man to be alone, so he made woman that men not masterbate. That's not sex.

Some would say I’m a walking contradiction, it’s for Yahweh to judge me. Not someone that comes and crosses my path, whether I am in a good position or my lowest position, and decides if I am a faithful person or not. Or that I do not love Amigo, and do talk to him very straight forward, and have spoken with each other in the past.

Nobody here is judging you. I dont Judge you. It's not in my job description!
You can't see wre you are disrespectful to Brothers & Sisters?
Think for a moment. I have my age posted. 61 about to turn 62. Amigo wears his age in his avatar picture, he's grey. You already said you are young and live with your parents or mom, something like that. Have you ever heard that we should respect our elders?
I get the impression that you have demonstrated that you do not respect your elders, or mom. Scripture says to honor youe mother and father, how do you reconcile that?

You see, when you talk, us older folks remember how we used to think at that age and when we found out we were wrong. So you get a few questions and comments from people wanting to help you in your youthful ignorance, like we were once also.
But you say, Oh no! I have a profund relationship with God so dont need you...! No way am I getting in that boat !!

And all the people are trying to do is to help you with the benefit of their older and wser experience.

No offense but, Don't be a ninny and pop off to people. Would you like to see the scripture that says, Believers should confess their faults to one another? I'll look it up for you. Have you read the Bible from cover to cover yet? I have. 4 or 5? times now. So I know that you do have a lot to learn yet. Your Brain isn't even fully developed until you're around 25 yrs old, give it a chance and either let people talk to you and ask questions, or be silent, geez. I was taught if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all.

Dont be a ninny by the way that you talk to people. It's disrespectful and makes it hard to see the light of God upon you. Questions from Brothers & Sisters are not judging you, they try to draw you into a slightly deeper conversation to eidfy you with some wisdom that they did not have at your age! It isnt that hard to humble yourself and share some stuff that is unconfortable to share. That why I myself was honest and posted that yes I do still smoke pot. It's a long story but it's in there. Smoking pot is a young man thing. I trued quitting two times and had seizures with 3 or 4 days both times. It bothers me some because I want to quit smoking it but I dont want to have a seizure at the wheel of my vehicle. I have to drive to live.

Edibles work as a fantastic muscle relaxer and works to keep me seizure free also. Edibles let you keep a clear head and I like a clear head. But being able to grow 6 plants isnt enough to make enough edibles so I could stop smoking. That was in Colorado, and now that Ohio has legalized it medicinally but no one is allowed to grow any of it so that was easy, they want to keep it a cororate ting so they can feed it to us in dispensaries at $400 an ounce or more, Lol! Their greed did nothing to the black market, lol.

Proverbs 17:28
Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.../NKJV

Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. - 1 John 1:5

God can take mass and turn it into plasma... God can take the plasma and reform it into mass. All to his will and imagination... No man being his counselor. Even then... How would we humans know to create living things out of the dust alone? Unfortunately, though, the light and the darkness interact here on planet Earth...Comparing the light and the darkness, the opposite of E/c2 would be z (absolute zero)/ d (darkness)...

Natural z/d - Nothing, empty space.
Mental z/d - Again nothing but empty space.
Spiritual z/d - z (emptiness , coldness, hatred) / d (fear, despair, greed, sorrow)

If God is God over mass and matter, then he also governs the spiritual as well. If we dwell in him and if he dwell in us there is no need for external sources of comfort.

Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. - Hosea 4:11

The sex, alcohol, and drug scene take away the heart and leave emptiness afterwards. And our souls will remain restless until we find our spiritual light and energy again in God. As it was said...

“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” - Saint Augustine

That's right. There's those two Chrokee wolves again. Good wolf bad wolf, inside of everyone. They fight. Which one wins? The one you feed more.

We feed the flesh with the world. The world is all about pleasing our 5 natural senses. That tastses great, can I have some more? Doesnt that girls perfume smell divine? Those opioids they put me on after my auto crash sure did make me feel good. I gave me back my posture, and I could work for 8 hours again on my feet. I felt so good, it scared me so I looked em up and read all about them. Heroin is a drug that I have never done in my life. So I fired my soctor and stopped taking them. I aint going to eat those things for the rest of my life, screw that. But I digress...

We are feeding our bad wolf when we feed the flesh senses instead of the spiritual senses. Anything for the 5 senses. Touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight is living for the flesh. But we still need to use these 5 senses to live here for now, but in moderation.
If it tastes bad, spit it out. If it stinks throw it out, If listening to those soap opera shows that teach women how to cheat to and be devious, stop listening! If it feels good, is it God or your wife, ok, if not, stop it.

Try feeding the good Wolf. The good Wolf is our born again spirit. The Holy Spirit talks directly with our Spirit, so our spirit is full of wisdom that our carnal mind doesn't know (or can know!) The problem is that many typical Christians spirit is starving and they dont even realize it! We starve the good Wolf spirit by not reading the Bible, because their carnal mind is having too much fun arguing about how it isnt accurate so why read it anyway...right? Feed your spirit more! Geez, Brothers & Sisters!

I can testify to the fact that reading the Bible consistently, it gets interesting pretty quick! And easier to understand, especially when you read it prayerfully. Then it gets spirutally interesting and you begin to grow spiritually. It dont matter what version you like if you let the Holy Spirit guide you! Remember that time that you flipped open the bible and there was the answer that you had been looking for right off? I have! Several times. That's the Holy Spirit doing that to begin teaching you.

We have the task of overcoming the flesh. We are stuck in between our soul and spirit and make the decision of the action we will take in the flesh. And whatevr action it is, it will either feed the senses of the flesh or of the spirit, so our soul would win that round. Or if we manage to actually let our spirit make a decision and take action how He wants to. Then for that moment, you would be as they say led by the spirit.

So you feed your spirit with the word of God and you exercise your spirit with actions in the flesh that you allow!! And we are instructed to be led of the spirit and not of the flesh.

Hebrews 5:14
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil..../KJV

This talks about our spiritual senses in our spirit. Learning to use them so we can grow spiritually. But we have to feed the good Wolf inside us, so read and pray more.
And listen to your conscience! God is speaking to you through it so dont ignore Him. You wouldnt want your spirit to starve, would you? Lol!
