Are you implying that we are less safe due to guns? It apparently works in Switzerland.

This is a business decision not a religious decision. As with any airport use controversy the DZO must negotiate for existence. One of the largest missionary support groups in the world is JAARS, Jungle Aviation And Radio Service. They are very supportive of all aviation activities including sport parachuting. They frequenting supply the aircraft for exhibition jumps at airshows e.g., Oshkosh WI. The flight school and the DZ both need aircraft and pilots. It would seem to me that an agreement could be worked out. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

A very difficult concept to grasp by the existential, pagan, hedonists in our community. The issue of sin is too fearful for the adolescent mind and, there is a strong collective adolescence in SC. The age of enlightenment for most folks seems to be in the 30 to 50 years of age range. So, for most of the posters here there is still hope.

I do not follow or answer to any of those folks. I have a relationship with Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You can have the same relationship, if you choose. None of my business. I did meet G.W.Bush, along with his brother Jeb. I saw him as a Christian man. He did nothing in office to change my mind. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

I would treat you fairly and justly. The post was for the other guy. We may or may not have a common ground. Christian to Christian expedites the bonding process. We agree with the same basic principles. "Trust but verify." ~President Reagan. Remember, I promote relationship with Jesus Christ of Nazareth not religion.

It would appear so, but... righteousness is the teaching of wisdom, the wisdom of the universe, the wisdom of life. I have not found any teachings (of righteousness) outside of the Gospel that were'nt revealed inside the Gospel. I am always open to revelations and invite any of them that are true into value. But the exclusive wisdom you speak about, doesnt beong to anything/anyone but wisdom itslef. I know you mean well; and no offense, but: gobblety-gook. I stand by the post to which you responded. Intellect does not equal wisdom. If something makes no sense that does not make it nonsense. For me, wisdom is a product of revelation. Intelligence is a product of study.

Excellent expression of understanding, your description accurately fits my life experience with Christ beginning with an immature acceptance of Him at 11 years of age to a full surrender to Him at age 38.

If a person does not express a belief and faith in God, how do you know you can trust them? How do you know they have a history of doing right things? When Christians deal with other Christians they at least have a common foundation on which to build a relationship. The relationship may not be perfect but it has an agreed upon starting point. That is the sole purpose of the CHRISTIAN SKYDIVERS ASSOCIATION. Christian skydivers like to associate with other Christian skydivers. No one wants to make you a believer in Christ. That is a choice for you and you alone. God is not going to drag you kicking and screaming in heaven. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

It depends on person. What I would NOT offer is outright lies about some invisible creatures in the sky I personally never seen and have no proof of existence. This doesn't sound encouraging at all. Individuals are evaluated and categorized based on the observation of their actions and the fruits of their labors. The belief in a Higher Power is an important consideration.

Personally I'd talk with them and try to help them by getting them to face up to the reality of the here and now and the future and not dwell in the past. I might say logical things they don't want to hear but need to to try and make them a stronger person. I would not fill them with false hopes and promises. Nor would I. I would share what has worked for me because I was one who suffered. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

As I keep saying over and over, the message is not for you because you do not wish to see, are incapable of seeing and, don't believe seeing is possible. Some skydivers have/had problems in life and Jesus Christ of Nazareth is/was the answer. The message is for them. Many readers in SC need encouragement. You never know when they receive it. If someone came to you asking for help for their depression, sorrow from loss or fear of the unknown, what would you offer? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Great for you.... But why doesn't he talk to the rest of us? You have to open the channel by humbling yourself and inviting Him in. In is with the heart not the mind.

In support to rynodigsmusic: I experienced three undeniable encounters with our Lord. The first was in Mar 81 when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and invited Him into my heart to take control of my life. The second occurrence was Apr 83 when I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and was immersed in His glory. The third experience followed a short time later when I heard the audible voice of God which completely reorganized my intellectual paradigms and set me free. That constitutes evidence that can be given in testimony. I am still a sinner i.e., not a good person, living in a sinful world. However, I have hope and faith that keeps me from being bogged down in anger, anxiety, depression and guilt. Why? Because I can repent and pray for forgiveness and get back on track knowing I am forgiven. My purpose in posting in SC is to offer hope to those who feel hopeless. I don't want anyone to come to Jesus Christ believing that He needs to be crucified anew. I want to offer the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to those who know they are lost and on the brink of the abyss of eternal hopelessness. For the naysayers reading this post: You don't believe in God (check). You don't think Jesus Christ is the Savior of all mankind (check). You don't want to pray when you are angry, scared, depressed or convicted (check). You want jump up and fight the right for Christians to post the good news (check). My justification, albeit the justification in the atoning death of Christ, is that the number of readers of these posts far out number the responders to these posts. Therefore, those who do need a positive message are receiving it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

I'm not upset. Beautifully stated and I understand and accept your statement. I think one of the major hangups with our skydiving brothers and sisters is the concept of love. They confuse lust with love. Love requires commitment and responsibility. The majority of today's skydivers what good times, more money and, little to no responsibility. Commitment, well, that's for the suckers who don't know how to slip and slide through life. Merry Christmas brother. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

We try to proclaim a message of salvation from torment. We talk about receiving a gift of love which brings peace of mind and removes anger, anxiety, depression and guilt from our lives by revealing a new path and a new life. We are hated for saying it. We expect to be ridiculed and it has no effect because we know we are assured the final victory in Christ Jesus. We are only to proclaim the gospel and the coming Day of the Lord. We are not responsible for the decisions or behavior of the others. Many are called but few are chosen. Merry Christmas brother. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

You seem like an intelligent, good-hearted person and I respect your opinion. Much of what I read is categorized in my mind as collective adolescence or intellect without wisdom. I am 67YO, retired and retreat here in my spare time when I am bored. I tried to provide a positive example months ago and was rebuked. So, at this stage SC is largely cyber therapy. Now see how many people tell me to f*** off. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

What was your intent in posting this? Maybe I'm missing something. /Marg I was responding to the mnealtx post on dirtbag tactics only when those tactics are aimed at TK. Similar tactics used elsewhere by different co-respondents are generally considered SC norm. It was just a comment. Some people would call that making conversation.
