The Bible and Home Remedies

The Scripture does not say the guests have become well drunken, it says 'when they have well drunk.' Having well drunk and being drunken are two different things.

Reasons why the wine at Cana could not have been fermented can be found on this board elsewhere. Do a search on the BB for "[FONT=&quot]1O REASONS WHY THE WINE JESUS MADE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALCOHOLIC" and you will find it.[/FONT]

What is said in the men's private forum needs to remain just that, private!

Delete your post if you are able to, thanks

I don't recall reading anything of the sort, but I didn't read all of the posts

 

To jsn and Magnetic poles-

Maybe that is what our County ought to do, decriminalize marijuana. The wording in the law is vague and ambiguous, so when the Cops attempt to prosecute someone for the possession or use of weed, it is messy. It is clogging up our court system.

The most notorious by far is a Dentist named Steve Kubby. He and wife Michelle lobby for the medical use of marijuana. Cops invaded their home and found, well I am not sure but way way to many pot plants with regards to his prescription. This was an issue in the courts, the number of pot plants for prescribed usage. Later they found shrooms, but I can't recall if that was the same incident. The guy's a druggie, and it appears he was selling weed but that was never established. He wrote letters to the editor to our local paper while in jail asking for his weed, saying he was in pain due to inoperable cancer. He also smoked pot on the day of his trial right on the front lawn of our Courthouse. I can provide a link with the information if anyone is interested. PM me.

Yes jsn, people's perception of marijuana is changing. OR at least it is in our local area. As time passes, I believe it won't be looked upon as much different than alcohol. Similar process as to the Prohibition period.

I'm REALLY not interested in going the distance on yet another alcohol thread, but that is your private interpratation. Others, even people who never touch alcohol (so it's not an excuse to drink), believe scripture does not condemn alcohol as completely as you do. I happen to agree.

 

This is not becoming. We don't need to know what was discussed in the private forum. Restrain yourself.

 

I agree; Scripture does not condemn the use of wine as sinful, only the abuse of it.

 

Joe,

What I am referring to was the fact that jsn said he smoked pot in his first thread about marijuana on this board. The thread was subsequently moved to the private forum because a sexual term was posted in it.

Since his statement that he smoked marijuana was made in the public forum, I pointed out the fact that he did indeed say it so there is no use for him to lie about it.

 

TCGreek, the statement was not made in the men's private forum. It was made in public forum and then moved because of sexual content.

 

If it originated in a public forum before being moved, then I guess it should be ok.

I read the explanation of why the first thread was moved and it said something about condoning a vice. That this happened more than once. It never mentioned closing due to the use of a sexual term, where did you get that? Just wondering cause i think if it's true, I might need to be more careful. I use the * key just in case to avoid bad pop up adds on the BB and to soften the word.

Joe

 

Joe,

Vice can include sexual content. Sexual content was mentioned twice with an aterisk replacing a letter in the word instead of the complete word. The words were still evident.

 

Hey, I resemble that remark.

I better watch it

 

Joe,

In the public forums, anyone can read the pages... even guests with no account. Certain terms can bring a reproach on not just the author, but on the board that allows them as well.

We have to portray Christ both in public and in the private forums as well. Even when the public does not see, God does.

 

I understand. I didn't say anything wrong though but I will still be more careful. Thanks for letting me know

 

yer welcome.

 

Thanks for putting things into proper context. You cannot fault me or anyone else for what was written. The impression was that you took it from the private forum, but you have put things into proper context. Thanks and forgive me. :thumbs:

 

TCGreek,

yer welcome. And I should have clarified, but jsn knew he made the statement in the public forum and it was later moved. That is why he challenged anyone to find it on the board.

If one goes to the private forum, one can easily find that thread and his particular post. He did not realize that it is still on the board.
