Everyone's just standing there having their picture taken.

Posing to have one's picture taken is not the perversion being cited.

It is the wearing of costumes designed to obscure one's identity as well as the pretense of being another species that is the problem. The unnatural, chimera aspect of those species is a separate problem.

Of course, the most disturbing aspect of all is the need to dress in those unnatural disguises. Someone fixed on knowing God, learning about His Plan for humanity and following God with true devotion would not experience the urge to climb into a faux fur suit in the first place.

Thank you for pointing that Willow out. I disagree with you however. That Willow has become weeping due to human interference. I assume True Christians™ would believe that Willow to be an abomination.

Aspirin originally came from willow trees, so they can't be all bad. Everything has good in it if you look hard enough.

Now, your average Kentuckian may be a furry as you are claiming, but community standards at Landover (Bible based ofc., again verses on request, furry thread has 'em) may be slightly different.

I never said I was from kentucky. (I'm originally from Florida.)


I also never said that all Kentucky people were Furries either.

Furry

Hi. I was glad you chose Philippians —

4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Earlier, in chapter 3, Paul reminded the Philippians how important faith in Christ was. He wrote,

3:8-9 I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.

Clearly by following mere legalistic requirements, trying to obligate God to overlook the sin nature as Paul was doing, nothing worthwhile can be achieved. What's required is to accept the price Jesus paid to set us free. That doesn't mean later on we can behave in ways God forbids. The difference is that Paul was following laws as THE MEANS to an end he could never attain. Christians, on the other hand, never contravene what Jesus asks as THE RESULT of being saved.

JESUS

Matthew 5:16-18 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

I've been outside this morning and EARTH IS STILL THERE. God's laws still exist, not as a means to gain Redemption from sin but as consistent with everything we do as a result of accepting Jesus – by letting one's light shine. Whatever Christians do, according to The Bible, will never contravene by one jot or tittle anything He has asked us to do. Or not do.

TITTLE

Zephaniah 1:7-9 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

Some examples of strange apparel have already been posted. And by any standard such attire is strange. That is one of the details Jesus referred to – and I've highlighted another activity certain to be punished. Leaping like gazelles and dressing up for species appropriation come under the heading of jots and tittles.

That is why I'm glad you chose Philippians for your introduction. Paul was anxious that they didn't go off the rails like he had done and how to avoid that is so easy: Jesus explains it right there in Matthew. I hope you see the importance of understanding what God expects and again He sets a clear standard, available to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

I saw no need to need to mention it until someone wondered about it.

Yes, there was EVERY reason to mention it. I would call something like that a defining characteristic.

Going by the second definition here. Now, your average Kentuckian may be a furry as you are claiming, but community standards at Landover (Bible based ofc., again verses on request, furry thread has 'em) may be slightly different.

I can't believe that a horrible, disgusting (but grammatically precise*) atheist had to be the one pointing out the obvious, but I guess The Lord can use almost anything or anyone to His purpose.

Anything that's God's original creation can't be perverted.

Once more: Read. The. Bible.

The perversion of God's original creation is the major theme of the third chapter of Genesis. Everything that happens past that point is God's clean up operation to deal with what happened to His original creation. The whole Jesus-being-born-without-sin-and-dying-then-coming-back-to-life thing had to happen because of that first definition of perversion that Didymus Much posted.

Perhaps, instead of saying things in your posts that are wildly inaccurate in a desperate attempt to ingratiate yourself to us**, you could read the Bible and/or our discussions about it and decide if you are really capable of toeing the line. ***

** Should that be "ingratiate to" or "ingratiate with"? Come on, Mr. Much, help me out here, you do need to earn your keep, after all.


*** Ha! THAT one I know is right! Learned it years ago, in between learning my Bible verses and how to grow herbs.

Dear Glutton,

I know that you are uneducated and mostly beyond Salvationary™ hope that this assertion or yours needs to be rectified. In fact, God's original Creation has been perverted countless times because of the Fall from Grace by the first woman who displayed gluttony for fruit (Genesis 3:6). Everything God Created used to be good (Genesis 1:10; Genesis 1:12; Genesis 1:18, Genesis 1:25) and everything that God Created has been soiled by perversions, such as sodomy, emancipation, and gluttony (Romans 8:22). Even the perfect Document that God wrote can be twisted for perverted uses.

Jeremiah 23:36
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

It is not enough to just try to mirror some utterances of Real Actual True Christians™ thus trying to gain the acceptance of this Community of Christ. Actual study and actual research beyond your favorite cooking shows is necessary. For many (if there was reincarnation which there isn't) it would take several lifetimes or incarnations to get there and still - to our chagrin - most would still fail. Being uneducated is not necessarily the fault of a sinner - not making an effort once a sinner realizes its/his/her/their/whatever's ignorance is.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Honestly, you could have saved us all a lot of time and trouble if you had just declared your perversion in your actual introduction post. That's kind of what it's for.

Re: Hello from kentucky...

Really? The bit from your post that I quoted: "spanking kids and their wives", do you see that?

I saw that, but I don't hit people and I don't encourage others to either. Spanking between adults is fine as a form of foreplay, done in fun not punishment. Books about it are fun to read, but that's it.

[handmaiden]

Re: Hello from kentucky...

Yes, the 'tails' was on purpose. And yes, I'm a Furry.

Okay. Now we get to the flea-bitten heart of the matter.

Please note that there is a discussion thread on the subject of Furries here at , . That is where you need to go now and start reading.

Hi handmaiden,

I love your innocence. The ´tails´ might be on purpose. Perhaps this person is a Furry?

Yes, the 'tails' was on purpose. And yes, I'm a Furry.

Re: Hello from kentucky...

The word 'tail' is a play on words since the book has spanking in it.

Don't give up the day job, just yet.
