Are you a Christian furry? I may have something for you
4 years ago
Hi, I accepted Jesus when I was a little boy and have lived an extremely legalistic/works based life all my life, up until recently.
I have a telegram channel called "brave furry believers" that is a NON JUDGMENTAL channel (unless you're harming yourself or others, animals or society). Beware! We are operating in the liberty of God and sometimes we can be very, very real in our struggles. We admit when we're angry with God, horny, desiring x thing and we don't judge one another for it.
It's a fairly unorthodox channel, just a place for Christians to be real, it can be weird/funny/sometimes even slightly perverted, but we are all on the same path with the same destination as we try and understand God, ourselves, other people, and the world around us without putting on any faces or hiding the darkness within. Because I believe only by embracing our darkness do we stop being it's slave.
The truth will set you free (bondage is the opposite of freedom) and perfect love casts out all fear! Personally, I would rather die than return to legalism and bondage, works based salvation. I do not believe we Christians have the monopoly on God, and I believe we are in the end times, as revelations says, "My Grace will be poured out on all flesh" (no exceptions)
So, if you are an open (or even closed minded and want to see what it's about!) minded Christian and want people to fellowship with, I invite you to check the channel out. We even have a guy who isn't Christian who joined accidentally and shares his (actually pretty good) music with us from time to time! (don't preach to him he doesn't want it and I respect that!)
We are NOT legalists and generally frown on legalism, we try and accept you where you are at on your life journey. People who are confused, alone, lonely, scared, hurting, depressed, disappointed with the church, with other Christians are actually welcome, so long as you stay respectful to the others in chat. While some of my fellow Christians have stolen from me, mocked me, cheated and abused me, I view those people as broken human beings who are where they are in their walk with God, I do not discard them but know God may well correct them, but loves them anyway.
This is a movement in embracing ourselves, God, and other people. That said, I am the owner of the chat and will moderate / remove people who I believe need removing, although I try and be lenient, I don't run it like the military. I am a former combat merc.
We are very real Christians who tend not to fit in traditional places. We are the Christian rejects :3 God accepts us even if no one else does. Remember before Adam ate the Fruit, all things were literally a go in the Garden, baby.
Now how the hell do I post a telegram link?

I hope that works.

Not sure what you mean. One thing I told my ex was she needed to not take every say as gospel (as she told me she did) because you MUST be able to self introspection, work with the Creator, find out who you are, and discard wrong beliefs no matter how long you've held on to them or how deeply you may have believed them. My journey of self discovery has been extremely hard, but very fruitful as I work to rid myself of old, toxic beliefs.
You need to realize that I am a flawed and deeply traumatized human being, and was spared nothing from childhood on, and my views WILL change as I mature, progress, and do not resist the Creator when He tells me I need to let go of X belief.
I am learning to not box God in, and this channel is about exactly that.
In short I am working to become my authentic self and my views, opinions, and attitudes are always subject to change until I find my center and align myself with the creator/universe whatever you believe. I am a lot less "religious".
What's your definition?
In my journey I've realized that there is wisdom in other cultures, even other religions. I was raised to believe everything non Christian was evil and wicked and the fact is some of what Buddha said is actually genuinely good advice.
As I seek wisdom without prefudice, and weigh it against following God (allowing Him to direct me) I am seeing God in far more places than just Christianity. We like to think we have the monopoly on God, but that denies the nature and power of God.
As far as the mindfulness thing goes, it does not mean we don't make plans for the future. Remember, Christ did say not to worry about the future. Yet, we are to be wise. I have food stored up, and provisions for a total economic collapse, I could sustain myself for quite some time if I needed to, I am expanding my business, and buying more land. Yet, what I am saying is, when I go outside, and fully allow myself to feel the warmth of the sun, the scent of the trees, feel the cool breeze in my hair, I release all anxieties and I am truly alive, as if I was in heaven.
This, I believe, is part of "being merry". Do I discard other parts of the mindfulness movement, as I have a relationship with the Creator, absolutely. Do I take everything Buddha said as gospel, hell no. But I no longer ignorantly dismiss anything "non Christian according to modern Canon" as lies and deceptions.
