Had a discussion with some friends and they raised some questions that I couldn’t really answer..

1. Why does only John include Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead when it is such a core element of what we celebrate as Christians? Would it not be something that all or majority of the gospels would contain even if they only had limited space to write on a scroll?

2. Views on smoking Marijuana , firstly in the case where it is illegal, secondly where it is legal, and if you think it is still wrong when it is legal do you also feel the same way about coffee?

Much appreciated
