State and Federal Laws

I followed a case for some time last year awaiting the final outcome earlier this year, and now that I've seen the results regarding DOMA, I'm going to draw a question of the parallel.  I'm not even interested in the reasoning behind either decision, I'm just pointing out the inconsistency.

The federal government now recognizes and affords full benefits for same sex marriage in the states that have legalized same sex marriage.

On the other hand, the DEA is still making busts in states that have legalized medical marijuana, and it's a federal offense.  The sentences are so off the chart that most agree to a plea bargain, so going to the Supreme Court is off the table as well.   But then, there's big money in Big Pharma, and citizen captivity in this particular issue.

 I will offer this perspective.  Nowhere in Scripture is marijuana forbidden, but it is in most states, so the people suffer.  Until Big Pharma came along and realized they couldn't have a patent, it was legal in the United States.  Torah, on the other hand has plenty to say about sexual sin.  The LGBT issue is not my sin of choice, although; I've chosen to commit a few myself, there is no question as to where our Creator stands on the subject.

Our Federal government has taken upon itself to keep nature illegal; while legalizing that which is unnatural.

Another Good Reason to Not Place our Faith in The Wisdom of Man

I will openly admit, this is an editorialized view.  I do not place my faith in the wisdom of man.  In Torah we find that YHWH told His people to bring their ailments to the High Priest.  According to the book of Hebrews, my High Priest is sitting at the right hand of YHWH. 

Psalms tells us YHWH created vegetation to eat and herbs for the service of humanity.  That information has been good enough for me, for well over a decade now.  My latest book, "Wilt Thou Be Made Whole?" tells of the actual quote of Messiah regarding physicians.  He said, "They that are whole need not a physician."   We are promised to be made whole in Messiah.

In light of the information in these articles, to be honest, I'd rather stand before the throne of YHWH and say, "I didn't know you wanted me to go to doctors . . ." than to stand at the mercy of those who are implanting these ideas and pharmaceuticals.

We can argue the validity of the information in the articles but I have not seen one place in the New Testament in which Y'hshuwah Messiah sent anyone to see a physician, including Dr. Luke, and since He is the same yesterday, today and forever, according to Hebrews 13:8, I'll just be standing outside of the Health Care Reform and pharmaceutical revolution, in what will undoubtedly be labeled "radical and extreme beliefs."

Torah is quite clear in Exodus 15:26
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH thy G-d, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am YHWH Raphah, your healer.
