    Seems Christendom is entirely made up of ex-users. Geez, Ratzinger must have been into some hardcore stuff to get made King of the Druggies!
    Yea, I was that and than some, and more than likely would have
    stayed that way or gotten much worse had it not been for Jesus Christ
    too.

    I have heard this kind of nonsense before - "Oh, you were an X drug user." "You were an X - something else." The implication being that what kind of person you were before disqualifies you from being one who can experience reality.

    When you come to Christ you stand upon His merit. You do not stand upon the merit of whatever you were as now an "X - member".

    Well, many of the Christians on the site openly admit to have had a drug problem and it was their finding Christianity that helped them. Personally, I think they just found people who were willing to help them, and were willing to accept the whole deal, lock, stock and barrel.

    If I joined a rehab maybe, had I been an down and out having
    lost everything in my life that was meaningful maybe, but that was
    not what happen to me. I just got out of the Navy, I was working
    as a summer help pipefitter making over 14 an hour with no bills
    or anything else to hinder me. I was partying almost all the time
    because I could, and it was in the middle of all of that when I got
    saved. I didn't turn away from drugs right away, because I was
    enjoying them to much, but did turn away from them when I had
    to acknowledge to myself I was walking in darkness in the since
    that I had to hide part of my life to the rest of the world. If I had
    to hide it, there must have been something wrong with it that, and
    now that I had Christ in my life I now cared about such things and
    turned away from that life style. That happened in 1980 so it has
    been a few years ago, but Jesus is still Lord of my life and has
    kept me through some hard things I would not wish on anyone.

    You think a carpenter who may or may not have lived in the bronze age but either way is definitely dead 2000 years later has managed to specifically change your mental behaviour.

    And this is getting off drugs?

    No, I believe the Son of God became a man lived as one of us,
    died for my sins and rose from the dead, and is now living standing
    in the gap for us all right now, and due to His shed blood I am
    clean from the sins I have done. He came into my life and managed
    with very little help from me to get me off drugs and has turned
    my life around from where it was going.
