"foods , which God created to be received with thanksgi

[projectpeace]

This sermon came up in a search I did for references to "Thanksgiving" for food. I thought people might appreciate the literal directness of it.

‘They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods ...’ (v. 3a). Sex and hunger are two of the most basic natural appetites known to humanity. And they are not bad urges within us. They are not to be regarded as evil as though they need to be defeated or that to get rid of them would make us better people in some way.

"God did a good job in creating the world, and it is a great world, for which we can constantly thank Him: ‘They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer’ (vv. 3, 4)."

Cannabis has never been truly illegal. The "laws" prohibiting the most useful agricultural resource on Earth are truly unlawful because Cannabis is unique and essential, beyond the rightful jurisdiction of any court.
