Jesus Pipes
Member
Articles of Faith
1. Jesus smoked a pipe and used it as a spiritual tool.
2. His Disciples preached the good news and anointed people with the smoke from their pipes.
3. Like the name of God (Yahweh), all references to Jesus' pipe have been removed from early Biblical texts because smoking was out of alignment with cultural and institutional norms in the centuries after Christ died. Throughout the New Testament, passages still hint at the presence and use of a pipe, and recently discovered apocryphal writings support this.
4. What is smoked does not matter; it is the act of smoking a pipe itself that can be used as a solitary or communal ritual to open the mind to God and to transform ones' mind in the pattern of Christ.
5. The sum of Jesus' teachings constitute a state of mind, not a book of dogma.
