In an article in Blogus<\/a>\u00a0 Anthony\u00a0 is trying\u00a0\u00a0 to address can\u00a0 Christians\u00a0\u00a0 be part of an alternative subculture such as Steam Punk, Furry Fandom and Cosplay.\u00a0 As a Furry, Science fiction Fan, and Anime fan, I feel he \u00a0his heart is in the right place but ultimately\u00a0 wrong. \u00a0\u00a0The \u00a0article contains\u00a0 many\u00a0 miss-quotes of scripture\u00a0 or inferring an\u00a0 Indicative (proclamation why we are ) in 2 Corinthians 5:17 and infer it as an imperative (a command) or taking a narrative \u00a0verse like 1 Samuel 16:7 and trying to principal.<\/p>\n

I believe\u00a0 this person main point it this \u201cBasically, there’s no verse against dressing up in costumes, nor are there laws against it. The issue is not necessarily the act, but how it may hinder our ability to spread the gospel and live a life that glorifies God. I\u201d\u00a0 The problem\u00a0 is this person does not\u00a0 give a proper scriptural bases\u00a0 \u00a0but defaults to legalism\u00a0 by \u00a0\u00a0moving the goal\u00a0 post from\u00a0 what\u00a0 clearly God objectively calls \u00a0sin ( 1 Corinthians \u00a06: 9-11) and applies it to\u00a0 thing that are not specifically spoken in scripture. In another sense , has scruples because of is\u00a0 his past punk lifestyle and tries to elevate his scruples \u00a0as a command to the Church. A problem explain in RC Sproul wonderfully lecture the Tyranny \u00a0of the Weaker Brother<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also get the feeling \u00a0this person \u00a0\u00a0does not\u00a0 have knowledge \u00a0what the fandom are about, there is a vast difference between a\u00a0 anti-authority \u00a0Punk and the aesthetics and literature\u00a0 of the Steam Punk subculture.\u00a0 At the heart of his argument is\u00a0 the long \u00a0debate\u00a0 between Liberty and Legalism, with respect to those than are adiaphora, that is\u00a0 thing than are indifferent\u00a0 were the\u00a0 bible doesn’t speak. \u00a0The truth is\u00a0 as being part of a subgroup\u00a0 the bible does not \u00a0speak specifically of it. While we are free\u00a0 to\u00a0 partake of any fandom . \u00a0Yet\u00a0 we are to come aside one who is weak\u00a0 Roams 14 (even through Pastor Fisk\u00a0 points\u00a0 this does not apply as many , but in balance the weaker\u00a0 brother cannot \u00a0make ones scruples\u00a0 a law for the church; that would be legalism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
