1st Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
One of the adverse side effects of weed is psychosis, which is a severe mental disorder in which persons’ thoughts and emotions could become so impaired, that they can lose touch with reality. So, we ask the question again: Should persons seek for relief from pain at all costs, even if it might compromise one’s decision-making process? Or is there a threshold point beyond which it is not safe to go?
When Jesus was hung upon the cross, He was given a pain-killer, a concentrated mixture of vinegar and gall to deaden the severe pain He was experiencing. He tasted it, but soon recognized that it potentially could compromise clear His thought, and decision- making processes, and thus, to protect His mind, He determined that He would bear the pain instead.
[The Desire of Ages pp 746] To those who suffered death by the cross, it was permitted to give a stupefying potion, to deaden the sense of pain. This was offered to Jesus; but when He had tasted it, He refused it. He would receive nothing that could becloud His mind. His faith must keep fast hold upon God. This was His only strength. To becloud His senses would give Satan an advantage.
Matthew 27: 34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
