Yes but actually no

2019-06-22 02:02:11 UTC  

What plants aren’t food?

2019-06-22 02:02:16 UTC  

Grass

2019-06-22 02:02:22 UTC  

lol

2019-06-22 02:02:24 UTC  

hemlocke

2019-06-22 02:02:33 UTC  

You can’t use grass in a tea?

2019-06-22 02:02:46 UTC  

i mean, it would taste awful

2019-06-22 02:02:54 UTC  

Maybe.

2019-06-22 02:03:01 UTC  

Doesn’t mean it isn’t digestible.

2019-06-22 02:03:06 UTC  

plenty of poisonous plants.

2019-06-22 02:03:18 UTC  

Are we talking about what we see as digestible here?

2019-06-22 02:03:38 UTC  

Cause that's a whole different thing from what we see as being food

2019-06-22 02:03:51 UTC  

Different cultures have different meanings and food even so

2019-06-22 02:04:06 UTC  

We often eat plants for different reasons. For example, I ate a dandelion today. Not for the taste, but because it’s good for me.

You mean straight from the field or

2019-06-22 02:04:36 UTC  

well, if you eat hemlock, you will die

2019-06-22 02:04:37 UTC  

Totally.

genesis 1: 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

2019-06-22 02:05:30 UTC  

i don’t smoke weed but theres also verses about using wine to get closer to God

2019-06-22 02:05:49 UTC  

I’ve never had hemlock. However I can’t think of any plant that hasn’t been purposed for our benefit.

2019-06-22 02:06:09 UTC  

that verse was before the world became cursed

2019-06-22 02:06:15 UTC  

similar thing really. its not what you partake, its how you partake. “drunkenness” is a state of trying to forget yourself. you can use weed or wine to come closer to God

2019-06-22 02:06:32 UTC  

no, you must not alter your mind.

2019-06-22 02:06:46 UTC  

thats just not biblical

2019-06-22 02:07:07 UTC  

I’ll use myself as an example. Drinking a little wine is okay. Being a belligerent drunk is not. That would be like being ruled by it.

2019-06-22 02:07:54 UTC  

I am sober in case you’re wondering.

2019-06-22 02:08:02 UTC  

im not saying you can't have like half a glass of wine at night

2019-06-22 02:08:13 UTC  

I don't drink at all so good for me

<18> Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, ```

2019-06-22 02:08:53 UTC  

But wouldn't drinking also be alternating your mind or whatever so that still counts?

1 timothy 5:23

2019-06-22 02:08:59 UTC  

point is, we should be sober, also remember what Jesus said.
