Tokers never read the bloody context of verses apparently. Ephesians 5:18 is not evidence that we drinking, being drunk, or toking the ghost of God, but the context shows that the results of these actions are UNGODLY. --- http://thenewmystics.org/TokingtheGhost.html The past few decades, with moves such as Toronto and others, people are truly beginning to grasp that the New Wine of Gods Spirit is not just to be discussed or analyzed, but to be drunk. The Lord has always sought, throughout the scriptures, to relay the concept that we are to be entranced on Him. God has always used wine as a typology of His celebratory nature. He says in Ephesians 5:18: And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit (NKJV). Obviously, most believers know we are not to be drunk with natural wine. But nevertheless, the Lord correlates a spiritual experience to the buzz derived from alcohol. Why would God make such a comparison? Alcoholic drunkenness is off limits yet God uses it as an analogy, to point us to the real drunkenness He desires. His goal is to turn us away from the false, in order to turn us toward the true. Just as God correlates the real to the illegal counterfeit in the passage above, so do we correlate drug use (also off limits) in a similar analogy. Realize that the issue has nothing to do with drugs, alcohol or pink elephants. It has to do with spiritual intoxication. The package is irrelevant here, so we may as well get over it. God is going to be ripping up a lot of religious packages in these days, in order to express Himself to a generation.
