The problem most people have is their confusing religion with God. HE made the golden rule. Are you going to hell if you smoke weed? If you think it's bad & you do it than yes. IF God hasn't given you that conviction that I believe your fine.
The chief priest used to sacrifice to cover the known & unknown sins of the people. This was things like for example you didn't know that the egg flipper was used to turn bacon before you used it to flip your egg. You're in sin because of it, but you had no idea so the sacrifice covered those sins. Jesus was the final sacrifice for known & unknown sins. If you've never heard the word of God, you still have that conscience. HOws does that jungle tribe that have no civilization or laws know that its unlawful to kill your neighbor?
I believe God's will is written in everyones heart & becoming a Christian is opening that part up & giving GOd control of your life through the sacrifice of his Son Jesus.
Yes, positive thinking, the secret, various other activities seem like they are in God's will, but its the end game that counts. Any monkey can get in a car & hit the gas. It will go forward. Just not where you want it to end up. I look at Gods word that way.
You can visualize things & they will come true, speak it & it will happen, all that sort of thing, but if its not in God's plan for you the end game is gonna suck.
Anyways, GOds loves you & so do I. Jesus is the way to ensure eternal salvation as God's word says. Besides, if Im wrong, the worst thing I've done is spent my life beliveiving that a great God is watching over me & taking me where he will. If I'm right, unbelievers are fucked.
Better safe than sorry
ps. THe instant I am convinced or the Lord convinces me that weed is a sin, than I'm off it. BUt that hasnt happened yet. I look at the fruits of the spirit. Since smoking weed & reading the bible I've grown closer to him daily. That's not to say that getting all dopped up & drooling on the couch is the plan. Its more a splif to open my heart & head up to the Lords word & plan for my life.
God Bless & All that good stuff
Later.
