This is a question that is probably asked a number of times but I just need to ask it in a different way...
I love Jesus, I try to follow His word in my daily life but at the moment I'm having trouble...
I sometimes on ocassions with my friends drink beer and get smoke marijuana.
I never though smoking mariguana would be a sin knowing it doesn't do much damage besides effects the brain which I still do well in school and my life is fine. (not meant to be a debate thread on weed, so don't start!)
With beer, I drink with my friends because it's fun and I grew up watching my parents drink (not get drunk, they just would have a couple beers) I thought it was fine, I get drunk but I don't get so drunk that I almost choke on my vomit.
Knowing we all sin, would God send me to Hell because of these acts?
I know my body is my temple and I should treat it with respect but everything effects the body like sugars, salt, you name it, the list goes on!
Please help me with this, and please don't start a debate for weed and don't bash it and treat it like I killed somebody. I'm not in the mood.
The times like these are the times where I want to leave Christianity... Knowing that things like smoking 'weed' or drinking are things that I enjoy doing and I don't do them a lot and do them responsibly and they don't seem to hurt my self a lot or even hurt people at all. Why can't stuff like theft, and murder, be the major sins.
I mean the Bible states that bluttony is a sin... So fat people go to Hell? Come on...
