"Then why are you here? What are you seeking to gain? You never stop being a Christian and if you did you were never truly saved. You never really understood what it is to be saved from living a life that pleases God. Being saved is not just about being saved from Hell which is real and exist. You're just condemning your own soul to hell. Being Christian isn't just about playing religion, being a good person or doing good deeds. Its about fellowship with the one and only God and his son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way, the main way into heaven. No other path can get you there. If you think that is thick headed or wrong.
Why do they make you uncomfortable? Is it because you know that God is living through them and that they are doing the right things and are on the right path to heaven. Even though everyone sins and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus came to save our lives and if I'm preaching here and you disagree then you were never saved to begin with."
One of the people that left our group showed me this....it's from one of the people in the Christian group over at the furry4life website.
THIS IS exactly the reason most don't want to or give up the faith.
Everyone's journey is different, mine is not the same as any of yours and so on. People who speak like this is not living like Jesus, Jesus came to fellowship and show love to the loveless. We must show that to people, not fire stuff like this at them...
To act like this is no better then to act like the Pheresses did when Jesus first met Matthew and had dinner with him and other tax collectors.
Lets support the lost and help them find their way, not turn them away....
As I told the one who showed me this:
"A true Christian would welcome another with open arms, not crossed."
Also,
My friend told me about a graphic novel he found at the Christian book store here called "Manga Messiah"{link).
It's the entire story of Jesus (or Yeshuah as they call him) from the nativity seen to hie crusifiction, FULLY ILLISTRATED!
And after reading it myself I can say it very accurate to the story.
If you don't like (or can't) sit and read words on a page, this is the perfect subsitute. It's based off the New Living Translation version of the Bible if you was wondering, and there are 3 more books like it with the story of Solomon and that in them.
Also, the series has it's own Bible, "Manga Bible "{link), it's the full text of a Bible, just with 98 pages of manga to break things up.
Thank you for reading

God's Creation
Read Genesis 2:4-15
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth.
-2 Chronicles 2:12 (KJV)
ACCORDING to the account in Genesis, God created the world and called everything good. God made the earth, green and fertile; the birds in the sky; and the fish in the ocean. Animals populate the land. Seasons change, the moon moves through the sky, rain waters the land, crops grow, plants flower and give new seeds. All of creation works together, and the earth contains everything we need.
God created human beings and instructed them to care for the earth and all living beings. Humans do not play the role of God who created and sustains the earth. But we are responsible for managing our planet sopeople can live on it.
We are accountable to God for how we treat our land and goods. When corn sprouts and grasses grow, this expresses God's goodness and caring. Every time we use the earth's resources, we have a responsibility to keep the balance God created in the earth's ecosystems.
Many believers around the world have begun to recognize that we are accountable for the way we live -- as God told us in the beginning.
