Christian furry?

[Rattatat]

I used to be a christian. I lost my faith about the same time I became a furry. Now, as an atheist, I take some of the teachings of buddhism and apply it to my life, minus the spiritual stuff.

Spark, if you don't mind me asking, what made you leave? Feel free to reply here, pm me, or just say no and I'll drop it.

Yeah. I'm Christian, came back to it after some stuff happened in my life. I feel like my perfectionism makes my belief intolerable though. I'm way to legalistic with myself. I get stressed by the fact that I feel like I have to be perfect but I can't. It's weird,  I learned that we have to repent for our sins but we are also saved by God's grace alone; so I guess that means I shouldn't worry about sinning... but yet I can't sin? Idk. I try not to think about but it makes me feel like I'm not christian.

There's something wrong with my theology but I don't know what it is.

Aw, thanks Michen. I guess it's strange for me to accept the fact that God loves me even when I can't do everything perfectly.

I know I need to stop this kind of thinking but it's just that I feel like I have to work on something to fix myself for him. It's hard for me to believe that I can still go to heaven if I do anything wrong. It makes me anxious because I never know if I'm good enough. But I'm good as I am, according to you. That calms me down a bit. Thank you!

mclovin, I am a perfectionist too. We are saved by grace through Christ. When we accepted Him, we became a new creature, but we still have to fight the old nature. Even Paul had to continually fight his old nature.

The way I see it, we are saved by grace, but we need to try to do what we can to not sin. Are we going to mess up? Yes, but we are then supposed to turn around and ask God for forgiveness, and continue to do our best. God doesn't require us to be perfect, the blood of Christ covers us. That is how I see it.

Protestant wolf right here
Although, I'm proud of being protestant, I still accept the other denominations too. Hey, I love the other denominations. 'Cause I love everybody!... well, at least I try to

Hey there I have no problem about talking about these things. I'm not sure if the OP wanted these discussions here, so it may be best to take it to PMs for this particular thread. If OP is ok having these discussions here, then I'll gladly write them here.

I'm one, but I kinda have weird beliefs about it. Like, what if the earth really is billions of years old, and God just only recently made humans? It explains a lot to me, and I think it's rather odd how people think that science and religion can't be compatible.

The Bible also mentions nothing on life on other planets. For me I do believe in aliens. Its logical to assume this because of the millions of planets we have in our universe there has to be other life.

I didn't know there was a thread for this. I also didn't know there were so many other Christian furries here. I really need to get out more. xD
I'm glad I found this though

Huh, I thought I was the only one ever.
