Cat and Dog Theology Part 2

.250408.



For those who missed out the part 1, Cat and Dog Theology is actually based on an old joke about the differences between cat and dogthat conveys their differences perfectly. A dog says "You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me and you love me, you must be God." while a cat would say "You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me and you love me, I must be God..."

In a cat perspective, they are into Christianity for themselves. If there's someone or something that could give them a better life, they would seriously consider it. Why? Because their focus is not on God but on themselves. Cats are into it far more for more what they can get out of it than for the opportunity to radiate God's glory and to advance God's kingdom. Dog says "No, It's all about God's glory"

Although there is only one way to heaven, there can be different reasons of wanting to get there.

For Cats, they see the option of hell and they want to run away from it. Cats are moving towards heaven but they are walking backward, focused on hell. A cat says "I don't want to go to hell" Their focus is on themselves, only their lives. Although it's not a bad start but it falls far short of what a dog wants.

Dogs want to go to heaven for different reasons. Dogs are also moving away from hell and towards heaven, but they walk forward. Hell is behind and heaven is in front. A Dog says "I've found Someone not only beautiful, but He is beauty. I found Someone not only powerful, but He is Almighty. I found Someone not only loving, but He is Love. I got to give my LIFE TO HIM"

A Dog's salvation is described in Matthew 13:44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again,and then in his in his joy went and sod all he had and bought that field." The man had found a treasure that was of great worth than all the other things he possessed. He joyfully relinquished all of his other possessed to obtain this one great treasure!!

Why are so many Christian joyless? Because their salvation is basically fire insurance. They are merely walking away from hell, focused on themselves. they have never discovered the treasure. When your just walking away from hell,there is relief, but no joy. Dogs demonstrate their salvation by the fact that they hunger for God and want more and more of him in their livesand shine to their lives.
