Christian Furs: When It Became Time To Take Separate Paths.

In my last post I struggled with the problem of Christian furry fandom, lack of sound doctrine and how much involvement I should have in them. The issues is when the Christian group goes beyond what we have common in the love of anthropomorphism   in art, literature and Fursuiting into ecclesiastical, doctrinal areas in the name of ministry.  Minor differences I can tolerate but I have serious reservation when the group allow non believer to have the same authority in the group or scriptural authority is denied.   To boil it down,  I can be a furry, I am  Christian,  but I cannot  be a Christian  furry because  then the question is who’s Christian, is it of Rome, Revivalism, modernism or the truth based  on sound scriptural and   reformed ideas as

Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone
Solus Christus – Christ Alone
Sola Gratia – Grace Alone
Sola Fide – Faith Alone
Soli Deo Gloria – The Glory of God Alone

and the Gospel as

  1. All Children of Adam and Eve have Sinned (including me)
    Romans 3:232. The Penalty of Sin is death bodily first then in hell
    Roman 6:23

    3. Jesus paid the penalty we accrued by his death on the cross
    Romans 5:8

    4.Justification before God is pure gift opposed to a matter of our works.
    Ephesians 2:8-9

    5.The assurance one is justified before God now and then forever
    1 John 5: 12-13

Ore even the Nicene Creed.

I struggled to find and answer but  I have none as such I feel my only choice is  to take leave  from  Christian Furs  and Furs  for Christ .  This is to say I  not going to shun any Christian  furs, I would love  meet you have dinner or eve a joint project among Christian furs but I simply cannot  be  part of an organized group or  event that clams to be Christian  without serious and careful  discernment . I will still be on Unicorn and Gryphon Pub, being the only Christian fur group that is exclusively focuses on fury rather than doctrine or current events. I will be at cons and fur meets and will hang out at secular furs sites like furtopia and the local PDX fur scene.

So with this I wish both Furs for Christ and Christian Furs well.
