Please I need a spiritual/Biblical answer to this question, cos in a society like ours, most Christians tends to judge and condemn smokers.
I smoke (only Marijuana) for obvious reason(s) known to me.

NO STORY, IT IS A TOTAL SIN..

Tycyborg:

“cleanse ourselves from all filthiness[or defilement] of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” —2Corinthians 7:1
And so that implies that we should not contaminate our bodies with harmful substances such as the above which you mentioned since they are lead cause of dreadful disease

I understand what you said and i was replying to your question... i said its not a bad thing if someone smokes but when it is too much more like an hobbie then it is filth just like the bible says... anything we consume into our body has its positives but when it gets too much or its becoming an addiction then it becomes filth... even drugs has amount you should take but when taken too much it becomes drug abuse which is filth to our body.
that my point

Jesus Christ alrewdy informed you that it is not what you eat/ingest that makes you filthy in anyway or form. So whether it is a hobby or done too much, it does not render you filthy, not where God is concerned.

Instead what makes you filthy is what you have inside of you.

Whatever you say is not necessarily a fact but can only be classified as opinion.

Kobojunkiee:
So it does not matter to you that Jesus Christ Himself declsred that He alone is Teacher?

What matters more to you is that, though Jesus Christ never commanded any of your gatherings, His disciples did it?

His disciple did Tru d holy spirit
Christ is not jux d one teaching
D holy spirit is d comforter, the teacher and paraclete
U must have notice if u read d Bible that it was after Christ received d holy spirit dat was wen his ministering began

almarthins:


I can tell that u r not even a Christian. You re jus merely intelligent. so u have no part in this matter.

Y nt take poison den n see wat happens

Kobojunkiee:
Christ did what through the Holy Spirit? Where?

You have to read that book with your eyes and years engaged so you are not easily fooled into believing lies instead. Jesus Christ said, "IF two or three are gathered in His name...", not "Two or Three must gather in His name...".

The IF there is conditional meaning dat if 29 pipu gather watching ball Christ can't b there because dey gathered in d name of football
If 30 pipu gather in d name of d devil Christ can't b dere because dey gathered in d name of a demon
If 3 or 4 pipu are gathered in d name of God Tru anything he will n dere

IF 1 person stands in His name, did Jesus Christ say or insinuate that He is not there standing with that person?

Jesus Christ said that if you obey His commandments, He, Jesus Christ and the Father will come and live inside of you. So, isn't the answer obvious

Instead, the conditional stated in the law of 2 or 3 witness, does not imply a mandated gathering but instead gives assurance to us that even when we gather with others in His nname,Jesus Christ stands with us.

About the apostles, I am afraid they were not always sent out in 2s. Remember Philip? In Acts of the apostles, he was sent out alone.

The New Covenant , Jesus Christ is an agreement between God and individuals, not groups, so be sure that God can and may require you to walk alone. Be ready for it too.

I am afraid you need to go read what Jesus Christ said in John chapters 14, 15 and 16 about those who truly belong to Him and why it is important that they are led by the Spirit of God.

When Jesus Christ, the Truth of God, said that if you obey His Commandment, that He, Jesus Christ, and His Father, will come and live inside of you, Jesus Christ in fact meant that inside of those who are born-again lives two Spirits - the Spirit of Truth (Jesus Christ) and the Spirit of God(God).

Yes, there is not just one helper but two of them and both of them of God. So , though they are 2 different Spirits living on the inside of a one who is born-again, they are one - united in God.

Bro stop amusing urself did u even read dat part of d Bible to u told me to read
How come he still sent the holy spirit
If d apostles already have Jesus Christ and God in dem
John 16 verse 4 down Christ himself said if dat if he doesn't leave d holy spirit cannot come to guide Dem it says dat d spirit will speak of wat he hears from the father
Meaning dat d spirit itself is independent but works together with the Trinity

If you are asking whether I believe in Man's doctrine of Trinity, my answer is no.

As for what you said of only the father and the son,I suggest you go back and carefully read what I have posted so you can ask better questions of me.

In John 14 vz 23 - 28, you are told that the one to come is ANOTHER, in addition to the Spirit of Truth which they already know.

In Ezekiel 36, God Himself tells you that He will install a new Spirit in His followers, and will put His own Spirit in them to make them obey His commandments. So there are 2 Spirits, not one.

Check John 16
1 John 5:7-8 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one

That scripture has nothing to do with this discussion though.
Do you recall we were on the subject of gathering and you mentioned how I mentioned that Jesus Christ lives inside of even a one who is not gathered with others?

Also,the doctrine of trinity goes beyond what John wrote there in 1st John 5 vs 7-8.

Again

1. I made it clear that I do not subscribe to Man's doctrine of the Trinity

2. I told you that in the Gospel of John, john 14, Jesus Christ explained that there are 2 Spirits living inside of everyone who is a born-again follower of Jesus Christ.

3. I gave you no such hypothesis such I am certain what you claim to have disproved

4. The verses you posted from the letter of John insteas speaks of witnesses for every follower of Jesus Christ in Heaven and on Earth. Since we never discussed the topic of witnesses, I am certain why you felt that was appropriate for this conversation

5. If you had the Spirit of God inside of you,you would not be asking over and over about "trinity" because you would know that the doctrine is according to the ideas and opinions of men and not God's teaching.

6. Jesus Christ did not come to call you so you can do as the apostles did. Jesus instead called you to live according to His examples and commandments to you. You and you alone will answer for everything you did here on earth in His name. There are no groups in this... and this because Jesus Christ came to call individuals, not groups, to God.

1. To those of you who cling to the doctrine, the Bible ofcourse seems to acknowledge that doctrine as it was presented you by men. But the Truth is. The Bible instaed speaks of a different kind of relationship between the trio than your doctrines teach you.

2. Jesus Christ instructed you to never accept or teach the doctrines and traditions of men as they are nothing but lies which instead heap curses on those who teach them and those who imbibe them.

3. You think I am an extremist where it concerns the teachings of Jesus Christ? Do you think that when Jesus Christ declared that He alone is the Truth, he was calling you to allow some lies?

4. I never just take what I want and leave the rest. I simply told you that the verse you provided has no relationship to the topic of discussion. There is such a thing as context even where a conversation is concerned.

5. God never told you that you need the Spirit of God to comprehend what is written in scripture. In fact, Jesus Christ said rather that you should use the understanding you already have, and only then will you be given more. But if you do not apply even basic human language comprehension skills first to understanding what is written, as it is written, why do you think more understanding will be given you, even if by the Spirit of God.

6. I told you that this discussion has nothing to do with Trinity and I also informed you that I don't believe in Man's idea of Trinity. What I don't understand is why you keep asking me of Trinity as if you do not know what I have clearly stated before now on the subject.
