BIBLE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF 'CAGING' BROTHERS

October 20, 2003

Josh Johnson failed to mention the restrictions in Exodus 30:32 pertaining 
to the holy anointing oil are placed on that specific recipe only in his 
Oct. 14 letter, "Taking Bible verses in context is crucial." Caging humans 
for using cannabis is no more "pro-Christian and very civilized," than 
Hitler's work.

Obedient Christians do not support cannabis prohibition. We're told in 
latter times there will be the Josh Johnsons of the world (1 Timothy 4:1-5) 
who advocate abstaining from foods which God has created.

A reason to not support the prohibition of cannabis is because when we obey 
Christ and love our brother, we have access to the communication system 
Christ God our Father died for us to have. The spirit of truth is not 
available to those who disobey that commandment to love our brothers.
