marijuana, christianity and guns

so i have been doing some research, and some thinking - reading the bible I came about a passage somewhere in exodus..i think 30 anyway it is the passage about how to make anointing oil....just google it! the term fragrant cane' is used, as are others, depending on version.... my point 1) do google it and read some stuff 2) what do you think? Did jesus use marijuana? 3) How should we as christians view marijuana today...is it bad? No...it is illegal crap either...that is only a sick bird! and guns....... "a gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone"

I new it wasn't going to be long before brother matthew was brought into our conversation. I take that to heart, because I feel it doesn't really apply to this conversation; Here is why: I believe it is speaking more toward those types of people who are on street corners preaching. This was done so because in the times of the bible, or biblical times if you will - some people would profess to be christian and preach on the corner, only to curry favour OR mostly to elevate their social status. In those times, social status was held as number one. So I feel what Matthew is telling us is not to be like that. To be inward in our faith, but outward in fellowship with others (one must read all of matthew and the bible) not to use it in order to gain status....because we will get our reward in gods time, not ours. You see if we took every thing in the bible literal, woman would not be able to talk in church or vote or own land....now we know that isn't right, but during that time it was. If we took matthew 5 literal - there would be no need for churches - can you see the contridiction in literal translation. IN the same passage, matthew tells us not to "babble on like the pagans do" - LOL sorry matthew I have just done this. Understand, I have reached out for fellowship; please do not cut my arm off, just because you do not want to hold it. The content of my original post was asking for friends and fellowship - I am sorry if it appeared to some as an invitation to a religious debate. Remember - there is the "intention of christ and the "institution" of christ. If you are looking at any religion in regards to institution - it should fail.

thank you for the reply. I noticed after the post I am not alone - glory! As you can see I haven't posted much here in past few years so........ forgive me if our non-christian brothers are feeling bashed by all these christian posts. LOL the one reply made me laugh...."christian skydivers - never hear from them" with a link to the post of 5000 replies LOl lord bless you all

Greetings all, I guess the purpose of this post is really to ask for fellowship with other christian skydivers...where ever you may be. For the most part, I would consider myself a christian; if it wasn't for the way i conduct myself sometimes - I would feel 100%. Although, that conversation could be more for the bonfire forum. Anyway, it seems to me that sometimes the conversation/action on the dropzone is not always beneficial to our spiritial growth or interactions with each other. And yes, I am a part of the problem as well. I feel maybe it was time I tried to change a little. I just want to open up some interaction on this topic to see what flows. As a goal - I guess it would be nice to find other skydivers to pray with once in a while on a drop zone, and not feel out of place - you know what I mean. May the Lord Bless this word.

It was a tough choice, but point break is #1 "it is 100% pure adrenaline baby, some guys snort for it, other guys jab a vein for it - all you got to do is jump"
