Please note "they shall be yours for food."
Not for smoking.
Stop trying to pervert scripture.
The Bible CLEARLY states that ALL PLANTS are for humans to use.
See, you twisted the verse again. It doesn't say "for human use," but "they shall be yours for food." Feel free to eat as much marijuana as you like, just don't smoke it.
Peace.
So this means it is OK to use marijuana? He clearly says "ALL" seed-bearing plants.
My understanding of this is that
1) The seeds are from plants only found in the Garden of Eden. Once Adam and Eve have been driven out the plants on the outside are not all edible.
2) Or ground is cursed because of his actions therefore there is a possibility the curse affected the plants as well to make them dangerous to man.
3) Adam and Eve became sustainable to poison once they fell from grace.
4) The instructions are only meant for Adam and Eve not us.
[Genesis 3:17-19] 17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,'
"Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
1) No. All the seed bearing plants of EARTH, not the Garden of Eden. Why would God create an obsolete plant? Why would God create a "pointless" plant? Are you saying it serves absolutely no point at all?
2)Cursed plantlife. Right...
3)Marijuana is not poisonous last time I checked.
4)So Adam and Eve can use all the seed bearing plants on Earth, but not us? That makes no sense.
Hi Spoonbill,
Let's face it unless we are God Himself we will never actually know what all plants on earth meant at that point of time. Maybe when God commanded Adam all plants are actually edible. To try to scrutinize to the letter what is written and get a solid answer is next to impossible. God might have done something to the world after chasing Adam out from Eden.
Like a Chinese saying "When drawing a man you don't draw the innards as well". Merely saying that God doesn't need to tell Adam all that He has done after kicking him out. God doesn't need to tell Adam what will happen to the animals, plants and Eden itself. All Adam needs to know is that because he disobeyed God the earth is cursed and he will need to toil the earth for food which pale in comparison to the good food he freely enjoyed before.
If you want to try something you know for a fact is harmful to your body its really up to you. God give man freewill to do what he likes and a sound mind to learn & judge the consequences of his actions.
God might have changed the world? Might have. As in, you have no idea and are basically making stuff up?
Eating marijuana is not harmful in the slightest. Fact. The only bad thing about marijuana is the fact that when you smoke it, you are smoking something. Smoking anything is bad for you. Eating has (factually) been proven to be completely harmless to the body.
It has been eaten for thousands of years and used as a herb for flavour. Not to mention all the medicinal uses the Chinese had for it over 4000 years ago.
Yes, and....so, what is your point?

...are you serious?
My point is a lot of Christians make such a big deal about "The evil weed" when in fact, the Bible itself claims it is OK to eat.
