What Would Jesus Carry?

Don't go there!

Easy – he would look through the ADs in the forums for the best deal.

Cottage brands or corporate? Corporate Romans 13:7

Gun? Yes 1 Chronicles 5:15

numchucks? No 1 Samuel 17:43

knife? Yes Judges 19:29

Gore-tex or event? event James 2:26 (eVent is often mistranslated as soul)

Dog or no dog? Dog Exodus 22:31

And what brand of cathole shovel? He would use a lightweight wooden stake with a hand guard Matthew 13:55

Ben, you win our First Award for Best Bible Citation. Your prize: A Gideon Bible autographed by the author.

Actually Jesus would not carry a knife or a gun. He said " those that live by the sword die by the sword" and "turn the other cheek" also said "vengence is the Lords.

He actually was a true SUL man. He told a rich guy that even foxes had a place to lay their head,but he didn't. He travelled light. Only his robe and sandals. Of course he didn't need dehydrated meals. He could feed 5000 with only a couple of fish and a few loaves of bread. The only things that were heavy on Jesus' back were his love for people and his knowledge of grace.

If I was a god I would teleport both myself and my gear.

Cheers

Opps.. maybe it would be Moses with the Exodus pack.

Dog or no dog : Dog

Well, maybe no.
Dogs are mentioned about 39 times in the Bible and not once (that I can think of…) in a positive way.
A couple of examples :
As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness. Proverbs 26:11

Don't give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces. Matthew 7:6

The term dog was often used to mean unclean, evil or disgusting.
(I'll leave the gun bit alone)

BTW I like most dogs and I don't have sacred books ….

A pair of Chaco (v1) sandals and a robe made out of 3-ply eVent.

"Actually Jesus would not carry a knife or a gun."

Truly an inspired comment. I've got some too!

-Matthew 10:34-39
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother…"

-Luke 19:27
"But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.”

All religion is man-made BS, now let's close this thread.

Well he did go spend 40 days in the desert. Im pretty sure he didnt bring any of that stuff with him though.

After Jesus was baptized by John he headed into the wilderness for 40 days, during which time he fasted. That makes his base weight his total weight, huh?

His 40-day non-supplied trek kinda puts GoLite founder Demetri Coupounas' 20 days un-"resupplied" on the Colorado Trail to shame.

Jesus GoesLighter… ;-)

I'd love to backpack with Jesus because he could turn our water into wine. How cool is that?

Jesus was more the suffering servant type. I doubt He would be impressed with even the best of anything this world had to offer. He was traveling the trail to a better kingdom.

Didn't carry toilet paper back then, wouldn't carry it now.
Jesus said to his group in the Gospel of Thomas, "Carry nothing but what you wear." and "Be thru-hikers.".
A much better translation (in my mind, anyway) than the alternatives of "Be passers-by." or "Be tourists."

Jesus carries the weight of the world's sins.

Strap that one onto your pack and carry it.

Blessed are the cheese makers…

JC's water is multi-use.

@Roger- at least teleport your gear, yeah?

Never seen anyone crossing rivers as good as Jesus.

Classic example of someone taking something out of context.

I thought we had some new Latino super hiker.

He was pretty SUL for his time. Multi purpose robe and all that lightweight never-ending fish/bread

But maybe if Jesus had been carrying a s&w 317 airweight model he would still be around today, he could have told all those Roman soldiers to F off.
