1 Praise the LORD!

Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD!

I always figured it was the other way around, otherwise you could say the same of Claude Rains.

Goddess Kali
God is Great Because he is a Divine Homosexual Flamer Vampire who has a Gay son named Jesus Christ, and is so gay he creates Gardens like the Garden of Eden and promiscious little man whores like myself.

BIIIIIIIIIIIIID
Goddess Kali is wrong.

God is great because God creates a human life through sex, and the moment a man or a woman climax is a beautiful thing, during climax you even scream God's name OOOH oH OH OH GOD! GAWD!

Thats why God so great

Goddess Kali
No God is Gay

That is because your are in denial of the facts. You deliberately ignore and fail to acknowledge the Truth, choosing rather to base your estimation of God on your personal circumstances (which are in a state of flux and change with the wind) instead of on His unchanging Word. God's Word reveals His true character not your circumstances, so you should base your understanding of God on His Word.

How come I knew what you were doing the moment that you started? Besides I do not play games, I sincerely do not know what people are talking about until I go back and research. But cynics don't understand that because they have a paranoid, conspiracy theorist mentality. But I do not believe that you are one of them right Shakyamunison?

Come now, be honest with me. You have too played that game with me, maybe not to the degree that I just did, but I was trying to prove a point.

It doesn't matter. God has not given drugs to humanity for enjoyment. Just because people take the materials and resources that God created, modify them, misuse them, and abuse them does not mean that God condones or endorses their behavior or activity. God also put all of the preexistent materials for dynamite does that somehow imply that God desires for people to put it in their mouth and light it?

I take issue with the semantics of your statement. God does not "want" anything evil to occur; however, God does permit evil because He honors our free wills. He has appointed a Day where He will judge each person's life accordingly.

The secret things belong to God...it is the glory of God to conceal a matter....For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

Basically our knowledge about why many things happen is limited. That is why faith is so important. We must not allow circumstances and situations to cause our faith in God to waver. We must keep our attention on God because if we focus on what is going on around us it will weaken our faith. Faith is strengthened by staying mindful of God's promises and speaking those promises so that we can hear them, and reading God's Word.

Drugs not used strictly for medicinal purposes only are being used to get high, and thus are being used inappropriately. That makes the act sinful. Drugs are sinful if they are not used for their intended design and purpose. Drugs should never be used to get high. All narcotics and contraband are not only sinful, but they are illegal.

You don't understand much about drugs do you; almost every narcotic is used for medical purposes and even in the hospital you are getting high, that is why they use them is that it helps to relieve pain.

The situation that you describe falls under the context of medicinal purposes which is in keeping with the intended design and purpose of the drug (just like I said). Hence, I have not erred nor contradicted myself.

Yes there is... Ask any winery.

Here, straight from dictionary.com:

"1. the fermented juice of grapes, made in many varieties, such as red, white, sweet, dry, still, and sparkling, for use as a beverage, in cooking, in religious rites, etc., and usually having an alcoholic content of 14 percent or less.
2. a particular variety of such fermented grape juice: port and sherry wines.
3. the juice, fermented or unfermented, of various other fruits or plants, used as a beverage, sauce, etc.: gooseberry wine; currant wine.
4. a dark reddish color, as of red wines.
5. Pharmacology. vinum.
6. something that invigorates, cheers, or intoxicates like wine.
7. British. a. a social gathering at which wine is the major beverage.
b. a party, esp. one held by university students, for drinking wine.

8. Obsolete. intoxication due to the drinking of wine. "

Wine is fermented fruit, almost always grapes... Which gives is alchohal content.

I thought I made the point clear that as long as the drug is being used strictly for medicinal purposes it is not sinful nor illegal. But if the doctor's prescription is not adhered to and the patient begans to smoke more than the doctor has instructed, at that moment that drug is being used inappropriately. Thus, it is illegal and sinful (in my opinion).

Wine is fermented fruit, almost always grapes... Which gives is alchohal content.

There is fermented wine and there is un-fermented wine: both are wine.

You said this "All narcotics and contraband are not only sinful, but they are illegal. "

Now you say only overdosing with them is sinful.

No, not at all.... By the very definition (Which I provided) wine MUST be fermented. Otherwise it's just grape juice, which is NOT wine.

Here, here are some other dictionaries definitions:

The American Heritage Dictionary:

"A beverage made of the fermented juice of any of various kinds of grapes, usually containing from 10 to 15 percent alcohol by volume.
A beverage made of the fermented juice of any of various other fruits or plants.
Something that intoxicates or exhilarates.
The color of red wine. "

Wordnet:

"1. fermented juice (of grapes especially)
2. a red as dark as red wine "

Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary:

"Main Entry: wine
Pronunciation: 'wIn
Function: noun
1 : fermented grape juice containing varying percentages of alcohol together with ethers and esters that give it bouquet and flavor
2 : a pharmaceutical preparation using wine as a vehicle "




They ALL say wine must be fermented. Which is true.

Non-Alcoholic Wines & Beers

"The legal definition of non-alcoholic, is a product that contains less than 1/2 of 1% of alcohol. (This is less alcohol than most fresh squeezed orange juice). Alcohol is a natural by product of the fermentation
process. It is impossible to remove all the alcohol."

only overdosing with them is sinful

The situation that you describe falls under the context of medicinal purposes which is in keeping with the intended design and purpose of the drug (just like I said). Hence, I have not erred nor contradicted myself. So it is not drugs that are bad but the person or act, please make up your mind. Now what makes the use of drugs medical? Does it have to be given by a doctor at a hospital?

http://www.travelenvoy.com/wine/nonalcoholic.htm So then alcohol is not bad if it is impossible to remove it, so Jesus wasn't able to remove it? By the way that is the modern definition of non-alcoholic wine, they didn't have that back 2000 years ago, that is a law of man which you said doesn't apply to God.

My mind has already been made up. I have not deviated from anything that I have stated at the outset about drugs. Show me the quote where I said that drugs (per se) were bad. I stated that according to the Bible drugs are listed as a work of the flesh (but it is referring to the use of drugs in a negative vein).
