THE USE OF MARIJUANA AS INCENSE
THE ISRAELITE USE OF INCENSE
It was said that Moses, at the direction of Almighty God, first brought in the use of incense in public worship, and that the other nations of antiquity copied the practice from him. It was however a practice that began with Adam. The "Book of Jubilees", an Apocryphal book, (the Apocrypha was considered canonical by the early church and is to this day by the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church) states that "on the day when Adam went forth from the Garden of Eden, he offered as a sweet savour an offering of frankincense, galbanum, and stacte, and spices, in the morning with the rising of the sun, from the day when he covered his shame." And of Enoch we read that "he burnt the incense of the sanctuary, even sweet spices, acceptable before the Lord, on the Mount."

Though the book of Revelation is intriguing, it should of been kept out of the cannon of scripture as it had been at least 3 different times, because first, we don't know who it was really written by, and 2nd, It's been a favorite of fundamentalists today blaming different countries, groups and individuals for gods displeasure.

It's been said that "Revelations" is the scariest horror book ever written. But is whats in those pages happening now in our time,Whether you believe in the Bible or not, what do you think.
YES! I live in New Orleans! We've had two of the biggest hurricanes ever recorded, two tornadoes that were like F2 or something...and that NEVER happens, and then two earthquakes which REALLY NEVER happens here! One was a 1.5 or something and the other was a 5.0, which if it was any bigger would have caused a tsunami...and oh my GOD could you imagine THAT after everything else?! And all of this since September!!!
We're all gonna die!

Then again much of the book of revelations is pure mutaphor and sybolism. Examples more or less. Deciphering them is the true revelations....
I dont know why people think Revelations is so hard to understand. I just sat down and started reading a couple chapters randomly yesterday and it wasn't that hard. Also, there isn't as many SYMBOLIC references as people make it to be.
