Jesus Rave

by OhYo on Apr.11, 2009, under Humor

Basically, I have one question for you; though it may lead to others. When you see this image, take a moment and try to figure out if it was made by Christians (religious, etc) or by the secular. (non-religious, atheist, etc) I want to see your comment if you can, it’ll be fun, I promise!

Take this cartoon with a grain of salt, it is not mine, I wont reveal exactly where I got it and I have no idea myself where it actually came from or who made it. It’s just something I saw and found it a little thought provoking, one way or another. I have a pretty good idea what the true answer to today’s question is, but let’s take a gander first:

Okay, definitely has some sort of spiritual concentration in here, but the message might be misleading or ambiguous. Wow upper-left post is upper-left. One thing we can probably agree on is narrowing down who the audience is. If this is Christian-made, it should be very apparent that it is for other Christians; and why? It must be reminder that ‘appearances of evil’ aren’t conducive to the Christian life. However, if this is secular based, the audience might be believers, the faithless or both. A secular message to a Christian with a weak faith may falter at thinking it is fruitless because they may seem ineffectual. A secular message to an unbeliever may also see fruitlessness or no differentiation: thus relinquishing spirituality or even morality as an option. Or perhaps there’s some other answer.

Unless anyone has any brighter ideas, I’ll ante up with “It’s made by Christians to encourage and remind other Christians that appearing like the world (compromising) to attract them in is hypocritical.” This thing looks like it’s out of some youth Bible-study publication of some sort. Oh and “Jesus rave” is just terrible.  Any thoughts are welcomed:

    Yeah. Due to the cowardly nature of evil, people who live in sin will go to others who live in sin, or appear to at least, to further their evil-doing. It is far more comfortable for them than trying to corrupt Christians who are strong in their faith. As Christians, we should welcome the lost to church or another faith-centered gathering, but they should be able to see something different about us. If somebody who lives in sin is totally comfortable doing his or her usual thing amongst Christians, something’s up.

    I hear you tho. We need to be very diligent in our efforts to not be indistinguishable for the world… We’re not here to “trick” people into salvation.
