Smoking "maynot" be a sin but rather a bad habbit. And not all bad habbits are sin like snoring, over laughing. But your action after smoking is what matters.

If otherwise, show a place smoking is labelled sin in the bible.

Lol. Snoring is a habit? Did you smoke before typing?

Don’t know why people are addicted to weed

Like I have smoked it so many times, someone even told me how to inhale and swallow it when you are smoking it

Every time I smoked it I felt nothing

Like absolutely nothing, sometimes I felt dizzy but no matter how many wraps I smoker nothing

Just got me wondering what makes people addicted to it like did I smoke the fake one or something

One of the best thing that could ever happen to any man is marijuana. I love it especially for tea and bread with correct egg sauce. When you use it on vegetable soup or indomie na confirm too.

I don't enjoy the smoking part but as fresh as the leafs for food, the dried leafs for tea.

Have a big bowl, put sands in it and plant it in your house the same they plant flowers and just enjoy yourself all the time. You are steady on a high mood. Never a dull moment.

Op, you don't know what you are saying if you haven't enjoyed MJ the way it should be. Use MJ this way and you can stop smoking it.

A person addicted to marijuana is not a Christian.

The solution to his addiction is to become a Christian; by accepting Christ as Lord and saviour of his life.

What changes have you experienced over the past 5 months in your life in general?

Don't be deceived.. we all witnessed the "spirituality" of Majek Fashek, and should have become wiser for it.

A brain that operates on a "high", even if substance induced, is no more spiritual than the brain that is in dream state.

Majek fashek was a raggae artist and not a rastaferian

Reggae artist can't be a Rastafarian?

Personally I don't think marijuana is a sin but addiction is.Every addiction is not easy to break,sometimes you need the help of an expert.That is my opinion.it is only a sin course it is against the law.

Alaye, first identified your addition ( which is the hard drugs)... 2, check your cost on the addition..3..it’s a state of mind for you to stop...4, You don’t. Need anybody for you to stop....5 Nah man go decide ��

Addiction***

There's no way you'd be a Christian and at the same time suffering from marijuana addiction.
Christian means christ like living the life of christ here on earth. It's tautology and a misfit of thread title.


Please use ; A churchgoer and his marijuana addiction.

Thanks.

Smoking in general might be a sin by marijuana consumption isn't.it is a natural herb that God created for man.if you want to get high and reach a certain level either spiritually or better understanding and reasoning then it could help.You can substitute by using it to cook instead of smoking

There can never be anything sweeter than marijuana

Smoking is not a sin. You don't get to make up sin willy-nilly. These things are declared, you know. Focus!

Bible says 'There's therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus '. Don't condemn yourself for smoking, you cannot stop it by yourself, keep reminding the Holy Spirit that you don't want to continue with the habit ,also make efforts on your own to give it up. God can help you.

I am afraid you are misconstrue the meaning in the verse you quoted there from Paul's letter.

I can guide you through bro. There is nothing spiritual about your addiction. If you can follow my advice which I can offer you privately you will get over the marijuana addiction and it will become irritating to you as you think about it. quote author=JahBwoy post=88361758]Hi guys. Wow never knew there would be a day I'd be posting on this side of the forum. Glory be to God.

I'm finding my paths to spirituality. My goal has always been to establish a relationship, a Communion with God. Knowing that he is with me and hearing my prayers ...

But I've been struggling with Marijuana addiction. And the devil often use this addiction to remind me of how far I am from God's grace. Even in the middle of prayers .

It's unfortunate that I've made the habit a must do in my life and it is difficult to quit. Always thought a job could help me but I find myself using it as an escape to work stress.

I'm at a point where I feel that this habit is the only thing separating me from God's entire will in my life. I have deep convictions that I have a ministry to fulfill. I have faith that it will soon be a thing of the past , as I continually seek God's intervention.

Smoking affects health negatively, hence is like not showing full appreciation for the gift that God has given u-LIFE. It's also highly addictive, hence can enslave u in a way. God rather wants us to be filled and encapsulate by his spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20, tells us that our body is the temple of God and we must honor God with our body!

Smoking does destroy the body and distorts mental capacity so yes it is a sin because you have defiled the temple of God.

I know a better declaration than that one in Corinthians... and it is Jesus Christ Himself insisting that it is not what you eat(ingest) that makes you unclean. Jesus Christ, the Word of God, Himself has declared this....can any man make His Words into a lie?

1. Where do you often smoke marijuana
2. Seriously see yourself as being enslaved by Marijuana

This is a grave sin! This shows dependence on a substance! God expects us to totally depend on Him in ALL things.

He said we should be drunk in the Spirit. So seeking substance to make you high is seeking an alternative to God and remember, ALL the glory must go to Him ALONE!

What do you mean by "better declaration"? All scripture is inspired by God and useful to teach us what is true and correct what is wrong in our lives. 2 Timothy 3:16.

There is no such thing as "better scripture".

I see you have no understanding of scriptures but just want to stir up baseless and spiritually devoid arguments, which by the way I will not partake in.

I am only responding to you for the benefit of others who need to read the truth.

My brother, many congrats and Glory to God!

This testimony you have shared publicly to showcase the power of the Holy Spirit will be permanent in Jesus name.

Please keep your walk with God and dependence on the Holy Spirit! Most importantly, always remember that nothing can ever separate you from the love of Christ!

All this one no enter... I'm a core weed smoker,and I have strong bond with God not religion...if smoking weed will take me to hell,let it be so,as long as it's not because of pussy I went to hell.

The fastest way to quit an addiction is to hate the thing/act you are addicted to. Easier said than done but very possible. I've been there. By indulging in the act continuously, you have created a hunger/need/craving in you for that thing that demands satisfaction/gratification even when you know you indulging is bad for you. The human body/psyche is like a mindless animal. How you train it is how it will go. What you expose it to is what it will desire. One of the reasons the Bible emphasizes on self control. By indulging in the act, you've exposed your body to some 'pleasure' (that wasn't there before and can be uprooted with conscious effort) it has come to crave even against your conscious will. That is why you see a part of you desiring it when you know you shouldn't be doing it.

The question now is: which part of you are you going to listen to? The rational part that knows this is wrong and should be discontinued or the part that is just after immediate gratification. Obviously, the former. You must not only desist from the act, you should also hate the act. You don't long after what you hate. Try training your mind to hate the act. Focus on its disadvantages. At least, this addiction is interfering in your walk with God and delaying your ministry. Try writing down the disadvantages and meditate on them as often as possible, especially when you feel you are about to relapse. Try to remind yourself the heavy toll this addiction is taking on you, how much it is taking away from you, spiritually, emotionally, health wise, in your career, in your relationships, your peace of mind etc. Try to dwell on these. Occasional relapses may happen. Don't let it discourage you. Everytime you relapse, try to find out the trigger and do your best to avoid it next time.

Continue to pray, asking God for grace. But you must find constructive ways to deal with stress, frustrations, boredom, anxiety etc that you use weed to gloss over or distract yourself from. Many addicted people have this problem of using their addiction to soothe/shield themselves from reality. Essentially the fear of facing one's fears. It is part of what makes addictions compelling. Your body will revolt with Withdrawal symptoms when you decide to quit the addiction. Stay steady. It will pass and the body will readjust.

You weren't born with this addiction. You lived without it before you got addicted and can live without it again. It is artificial and can be done away with. Each day you don't indulge it you take a step further away from it. It gets easier as you keep going forward.

Jesus Christ is the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God and it is by His teachings and commandments that Sin is defined for us. What that means is that if the Truth of God has not declared it a sin, there is no authority that can do so.

No man has authority to add to or remove from the Law as set forth by Jesus Christ. So since Jesus Christ made it clear that nothing we eat or ingest can defile us or make us sinful, it is as He declared it.

When will Nigerians stop putting religion first before every other thing
You better face your challenges and leave your Christianity out of the equation.

read the post again.. check my modified post on the first page

I was addicted to masturbation, I tried stopping, make resolutions, all were futile.

And then I turned to Jesus THE WAY IN TO GOD AND OUT OF SIN, he came, set me free and now I stand close to 13 solid years, no masturbation, no pornography no sex, and yet I'm single, basking in the grace of God.

OP don't struggle with smoking, don't even make resolution to stop, like a child simply take it to Jesus, tell him how helpless you are, how u have failed and continues to fail without him.

Finally trust him, I'll be praying along with u.

May grace locate u.
Amen.
