Hi Ricky,
We each were born with the gift of life and millions of opportunities to make the best of each day according to each person's understanding. We on the forum have additional gifts.
I don't judge, but I do evaluate both myself and others to see if perhaps I may learn some lesson from the experience.
As we rise to face each new day, we may if we choose, decide to build up or to tear down. I suppose most folks have both type of days. Here then is a motto on the wall of my therapy gym I think it is a valuable thought to remember.
"to give anything less than your BEST is to sacrifice the gift".

You can now go to Colorado smoke alittle weed, and forget how miserable life is going through the fire. Anybody tempted? How dose this new law sit with u all here on BT. Bless you all. Ricky

Ricky,
I see it this way, predestine is predestine, our will is subjected to Gods will. I personally see no difference whether its sin or law, predestine is living out and experiencing good and evil as God has determined for our good.
Yes, we do make choices, choices from our own depravity which also is of God ,seeing where He made us in vanity, not that we were willing, but for His purpose to do and to will in us for His good pleasure.
No matter what we do, there is no getting around the fact that God is responsible for what everyone does yet at the same time everyone is accountable for all their own choices.
There is one God, one way, Gods way.
peace and love to all.

Why does anyone care what their neighbor puts in their own body? Or who your neighbor sleeps with (consenting adults)? Who are we to judge the servant of another? To his own master will he stand or fall. We all have only one life and we should live it how we feel is the right way as long as that doesnt harm anyone else. We will all give an account to our own master and my master wont make me account for any of your lives... only mine. So if smoking weed is your thing and you live in Colorado... Congrats!
Christians are so easily manipulated into letting the governments dictate what it means to "fight the good fight". Christians in the US are always fighting about what "other" people do with their personal life. Heres something to chew on... in 2012 alone, the US spent 757 Billion dollars on war. By the UN's own estimate, it would only take 30 Billion dollars per year to wipe out world hunger. Hmmmm... Remember these wars have been raging for over 12 years AND STILL GOING and the 757 Billion is just ONE YEAR of spending!!! Maybe theres more important things to worry about than whos using a plant that God made which is safer than anything your Dr. can prescribe?
btw, aspirin kills more people than weed. Is taking aspirin defiling ones body?

i agree largeli with all you said, but would make an edit on the neighbor part. i would say that if i knew for sure my neighbor was being physically or sexually abused, or was abusing animals, i would care a lot. >:(

I like this wisdom too
"What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them." Matthew 15:11
also this information to keep things in perspective :)

I think our addiction is greed and the indifference to the sufferings of others - people and living creatures :)
