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.
