Canibus? is it not written in the bible to use it in making medicine?

Question

I believed i read it once and i never forgot that i read it in the old testament that canibus was dictated by God to Moses to use as a remedy for a poison that some people in Israel were suffering from. but when i mentioned this on talk radio i got feed back from other callers that no one could even find the word canibus in their word searches.
This also seems to contradict the term apocathary and making medicines, it definitely contradicts Modern Theology where drugs are prohibited as a natural commandment from God.

Answer 1

I'm not sure I came across any prescription in the Bible - apart from that mentioned in Isaiah to king Hezekiah, while he was sick and recovered from his sickness.

Answer 2

Hi, I study in the original Texts, and you
won't find Canibus in the Bible, because there is another name for it; anyway, I am
looking into it today (Its early, and I can't recall the word in Hebrew, I am having my first coffee of the morning) - what I do know off-hand, is that what was emphatically stated by God that He hates, is the use of drugs to cause a "heightened state of mind" where the person believes they can get spiritually closer to God. In other words,
tripping on a form of lsd and feeling like you are somehow closer to God.
Canibis is not called a sin in Scripture, and
neither are any of the medicines that we use today with regard to killing infection,
pain relief, etc.
Luke himself was a medical doctor; The Bible states in Proverbs that a man who does not listen to his Physician is a fool.

The Bible is best understood with just a dash of good ol common sense;
Who gave our physcians and surgeons
their ability to save others? God did, of course. All of us, the parts of the great body of the true Church of Christ, and each part has their own gift; some in prophecy, some in teaching, some in helping the poor, some in healing of the body, all gifts from God.
Canibus is used by Cancer patients and gives them quite a bit of comfort. It is also used by folks with Glaucoma, which is terribly painful due to inflammation of the eyes; canibus relieves the swelling.

Who would have thought that a tree could provide a medicine? Yet we have asprin,
which is a great drug, and used to reduce fever and even heart attacks.
As a final note, It is written that in the eternity, there will be trees to provide healing of the spiritual body that we will be going back to - a tree which is medicine, a tree that prevents one from being depressed, bored, lonley, you name it.
Nobody is going to hell for smoking pot, that I can tell you with full confidence.

I never heard that in reading the bible 3 times, but sometimes other names are used. Drugs are good for you, just not street drugs. The right brain, that you access through intuition, is a pharmacy. The body runs on drugs. All your anitdepressant happy drugs and pain killers are in your right brain. We were never meant to be unhappy. We just disconnected from ourselves and God and each other in the process. Check out intuition, the still small voice of God Elijah talked about. We're not in our proper mind right now. Everyone is going back to the right brain, the right mind. That's the mind for the 21st century. Truth is stranger than fiction. Check this out.
"From Intellect to Intuition"
By Alice A. Bailey
This immediate access to Truth is the ultimate destiny of all human beings, and it seems probable that some day the mind itself will lie as much below the consciousness as the instincts now do. We shall then function in the realm of the intuition and shall talk in terms of the intuition with as much ease as we now talk in terms of the mind, and we will function as mental beings.
It seems like women always 'get it' first.

Kineboisin is the word in question but not as you describe. I have been wondering if it's use is truly sinful. Not because I'm a pothead but because of Medical Marijuana and the possibility it may give relief to chronic pain, safer than long term use of oxycodone. Hubby suffers from RSDS, complicated by diabetes and an injury that damaged his spine and cost him his leg several years ago. I'm always looking for alternative ways for him to find comfort. But I wouldn't suggest medical marijuana to him until I'm certain it's not a sin.

Answer 5

They have twisted the bible pretty drastically to get the message changed around to what they want but thank God they have not twisted it that much.

I think that you must have misunderstood what you were reading.
