WHICH IS WORSE? USE WISDOM

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I have just read in The Gleaner that a Pentecostal minister, Glenn Brady,
"urged Christians, in their wisdom not to support the recommendations or
any moves to decriminalise marijuana usage."

I am a Christian and I say to Christians, "Use your wisdom to discern false
teaching. Who will stand before God and say, "I used the herb marijuana."
and who will stand before Him and say "I persecuted and imprisoned my
fellowman because he used the herb marijuana." Which is worse?" You know,
if you know Christ!

I am, etc.,

Amanda Jones,
