you know, i think God wanted the Bible to be easy to understand, like even a child could read and understand without any outside influences

this is so irrelevant, you can be very stubborn you know, at least admit its up for debate as I have

why is it every time i make a clear concise and easy to understand point

people always throw their own views/beliefs into it, listen, the bible says something, thats what it is.

theres people in that thread that agree with you if you’d even read it 😑

An herb is an herb. If you think it’s something else, I can’t stop you. But I would implore you to consider not making it a condemnable offense.

Anyway, you all have a lovely, and pleasant evening.

bible: dont do drugs
men: but i like that, im gonna try to find a loophole

summary of this whole topic

but i don’t do drugs, i’m just being reasonable and actually studying it first and accepting that i could be wrong so as to have a civil discussion 🙄

there are other people reading this too mate

the actual medicinal properties of Marijuana and the Hemp plant are so incredible... so many purposeful things one plant does

Look I have doubts, fears, and I am not perfect and I do still sin because I am weak and I am still coming to terms with Jesus, who God is, I struggle with Law VS grace, and understanding things so yes I am still afraid. You say I am not saved because I still fear, you may be right and that terrifies me even more.

I wish my walk was like yours Nomad

I hope you get there, brother. It's liberation in its highest form. I can talk you through a lot of my experiences, if you think it may help understanding certain hurdles and perhaps give you tools to help get over your own.

@Brian (Fourth Amendment) We can’t be living in fear like that. You’re a good person. We all sin. We don’t need to ask for forgiveness. What’s most important is that we can forgive ourselves.

we cannot forgive ourselves.. forgivenss comes with asking JESUS to forgive our sin.. He is the forgiver.. not yerself

trust that God knows what He is doing.. He has laid it out scripturally " no reason for treason "

We have already been forgiven. It is our responsibility to acknowledge our sins and repent. But not forgiving ourselves goes against God.

forgiving your "weaknesses" is fine.. but you cannot forgive your SIN

we are forgiven when we ASK to be forgiven

we are not "automatically forgiven of sin," sorry no way its not scriptural at all

thats why there are saved people.. and people who are not

Mark 2:10-12

**Mark 2:10-12 - King James Version (KJV)**

```Dust


<10> But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy, )<11> I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. <12> And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. ```

acknowledgeing our SIN is NOT BEING FORGIVEN.. you must ask Jesus for forgiveness and then repent of the way you were livng

We are instructed by Jesus to forgive those who trespass against us

We can forgive their sins

absolutely yes

no no no

If it is against us, yes.

we CANNOT forgive anyones SIN we can forgive what they may have done to us.. but we cannot forgive SIN

the ACT..? we can forgive.. but not sin

Sin is only healed by the Blood of Christ

Christ is a man. Through a man we are forgiven our sin

Christ is GOD
