Push to legalize marijuana is a sin
The Gazette Opinion Staff
Feb. 8, 2014 1:08 pm
The recent ungodly surge to legalize marijuana for “recreational use” is the same sin as the sin of legalized gambling. Impious Christians, unequally yoked with those who are not born again, seem to think that sin is a game that can be played safely if you share the wages with your favorite
charity.
The pushers of that sin legislation are causing the street drug dealers to have sweet dreams of legalized heroin, crack cocaine and opium dens.
The impious Christian compromise has contributed to the delinquency of the poor and the rich and to the sodomization of America. Will Christians infected with the gonorrhea of gambling tattoo Iowa and America with pot houses, or repent and preach the Gospel?
And how can any one dare to call abomination care “health care?” It legislates a forced provision for murder, and is no less than the state's attempted rape of the church. Repent!
Like Israel in the days of Gideon, have true Christians taken to the hills and caves?
Do the Baals of the Philistines rule the courts, commissions, Congress and Christian congregations? Repent!
