Thomas, Maltuin

19 So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building, being put together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:19-22 CSB

I have finished the Ambigram for Cody.
 

 
This was the first time I had ever done any digital editing, since these are hand drawn, finishing can be difficult.
Since I don't have a drawing tablet for my PC, editing, is all I can do there. However, I found that this combination
was fairly pleasing to my eyes. Please let me know what you think.
 
Please check the original post for an update.
 
Thanks

When I get ready to take commissions, I'll post an update here with details for anyone interested.

I think of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednago when all the people were worshiping Nebuchadnezzar's gilded statue. They didn't demand that all these non-Jews should act like Jews. Instead, they insisted that they were going to act like Jews should rather than like non-Jews did.
 
Really, it appears to me that what is being suggested in this thread is for Christians to do what non-christians are doing (having a parade to celebrate sexuality) with the reason that the non-christian's aren't behaving like Christians should.
 
Maybe I'm missing something, but that's what it looks like to me.

I'm up for it, want a suit so baaaaaaaad.

Nice to meet you. I'm the local cat gone haywire. Question, what's better, white raisin, brown raisin?

Here one of my crazy Kitts

IRC (Internet Relay Chat/Chatroom) is a type of chatroom. It's kinda a dedicated program, where someone hosts a room and others log into it to chat. CF has a link to ours here on the site somewhere. You can also use other programs to log into it as well. I know mobile ones for Android exist, and I recommend HexChat for Windows.

Not rooting for dragons anymore? You're usually so excited ^^

Titus 3:1-4 (KJV) Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
 
2 Timothy 2:24-26 (KJV) And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
 
This pretty much confirms the necessity of being gentle and kind hearted. You can stand your ground without being rude believe it or not.

Personally, I am not shocked by non-christians acting like non-christians. What offends me are people claiming to be Christian who act like non-christians. Espousing hate rather than love. Loving money over people (and God). Acting out of a desire to destroy rather than edify.
I really understand the people who reject Christianity because of the actions and attitudes of such Christians.

I detect something. What is this? What is this new thing that's making my thingy do the stuff?

We've come to a very crucial moment in time. A fixed point! Yes! The thing that's making the sonic go all haywire must be crucial to this exact timeline!
 
It's... it's...!!!

Hi. ^^ Welcome to the forums!

Ummm... Welcome back and hi for the first time. i find it slightly awkward welcoming someone back who I never met before but hey I'll join in! ...do you like hugs? Or are you a high fiver? *stares at ones own paw* high paw'er? ...how would you say that... *lost in thought*

I agree that traditional marriage should definitely be stood up for and honored, but... that doesn't quite sound like the point with what you're proposing, Eagle. What it sounds like to me is an angry homophobic lashing-out.
 
I was extremely homophobic and uncomfortable about the LGBT community at your age (that was 10 years ago). I saw them as a people group that made absolutely no sense to me. Then I made friends with someone who came to struggle -intensely- with their sexuality. I saw into his mind, into a world where who and what you love was no longer black and white. And my heart hurt for him badly, and by extension, for the LGBT community at large.
 
The furry fandom is home to many, many, MANY people who struggle with who they are and who/what they love. Some accept sin into their life, others battle it vigorously. We're here to love people through that, no matter where they're at. We're here to give people a place to admit where they are safely and without condemnation, because that place doesn't exist for a great many people and it's desperately needed.
 
Sin is sin, bottom line. I'm not denying that indulging in deviant sexualities outside of marriage is sin, but I am affirming that those people need the love of Jesus just as bad as anyone else does. I would take time to consider this. You may deny it now, but you may find yourself one day hurting and conflicted about your sexuality too. Everyone has to go through that at some point. And more than anything, pray for those people. Pray that God would work in your heart about how to approach them lovingly.
 
Don't overcome evil with more evil, overcome it with good.

I would have titled the poem "frigid".  One becomes it seems to be about the loss of a relationship, which can leave one feeling very frigid.  Secondly, because the metaphors surrounding it are dealing with temperature, going from warmth to coldness.  The titling it "frigid" would definitely fit both metaphors.

I don't completely understand the following segment:
"a sun doing kindled friendships lost to"
The sun isn't lost if it is reflected and the moon is not the sun's close friend if it is separated by a visible light spectrum.
I understand this is about the moon and sun greeting and leaving one another, so here's how I would write it:
 
The sun
In sensual warmth
gives birth
 
Aire cools
The protoge' steps into vissible spectrum
reflecting its parents light
 
Changing times
Kindled friendships lost
 
Frigid
Forgotten
Fall season over seas

I think this would be dangerously inflammatory. I also think that it would get shot down (figuratively) pretty quickly.

Welcome! Nice to meet you! Another about your age just finished signing up this morning

Yea.... My head is in for a spin with this poem... It doesn't help that it is crunch time here at school... *overwhelmed*

It reminds me of the chaos in my head right now.

Well Rukh, one thing about mankind, only one person has ever been Perfect (That being Yeshua Christ), and besides Him nobody else has been, life events happen, and sometimes at very inopportune times. Hope you get better and things become less hectic dude.
