Is Liking Dragons unChristian?In other words, can a Christian morally have a love for dragons? The logic behind the question is that dragons by Biblical standards seem to be evil creatures. Therefore it should be incompatible to follow Jesus Christ and love dragons at the same time, right? This is what I've been accused of many times, being a firm holder to Truth yet having a soft spot for dragons. I would like to answer in detail these accusations, thus the reason for this article.Is Liking Dragons unChristian?
BIBLICAL EVIDENCE
Let us look at dragons from every angle, starting with what The Sacred Scriptures say. In The Holy Bible the Hebrew word used for dragon(s) is 'tann

| Welcome to my little meadow in this jungle! Although there is nothing magical about this spot, I hope that what you do find is worth more to you. Before I go too far, the image in my Webcam was made by Answers in Genesis www.AnswersInGenesis.org . Also, let me explain my Avatar. It is a photo taken by NASA of “the ‘X’ Structure at the Core of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51)”. Or, I should say, that is what NASA named it. I don’t think it takes a Rocket Scientist to see that it is a Cross! When God put this universe in place, He had the plan for Salvation painted out at the center of M51! How many other paintings did God put out in space that we might never know about because NASA and Astronomers deliberately named them something we’d never look under to find them? Howdy! My name is Nathanael Eisner. My online handle is Ambassador Herald. Now, you might wonder about two things: why is my first name spelled weird and what do I mean by ‘ambassador’? Well, let me tell you. My name is spelled the way it is in The New Testament (The New Covenant) of The Holy Bible (The Sacred Scriptures)! The reason for that is my parents named me after a Bible character: Nathanael of Cana! His history can be found in John chapter 1 verses 43-51. He is also mentioned in John 21:2. My handle is based on two things, first, a verse from The Holy Scriptures. “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.” – 2 Corinthians 5:20 (Authorized King James Version). Second, the king had a Herald to proclaim his news to the people. Jesus is The King of Kings (Revelation 19:16) and I am a Herald of His. I am 19 years old. I gave my life to The Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16) at the age of 5. That puts my spiritual age at 14! I know it is amazing that it happened so young, but I have always been sensitive to spiritual things. I can still remember that day as if it happened yesterday. I was standing alone on the back porch of the house (still the same one I live in now) when I heard, as well as felt, a voice inside me say, “Follow Me!” I could see no answer but yes, so I asked Jesus into my heart right there and then. Afterwards, I felt a burden lift from my shoulders and I was filled with immense joy, so much so that it gave energy enough that I thought I could jump to the moon. I couldn’t keep myself still, I ran as fast as I could until I could control myself again. I then ran inside and informed my Dad of what happened. I was still bursting with energy when Mom came home from work some hours later. My life was forever changed! Two years later, at the age of 7, I was watching TV when I spotted a picture which was just used to look cool, but my first thought was, ‘that would make a good story’. For the longest time (6 years) it stayed that, a thought. Then at the age of 13, I heard God’s calling, telling me to turn that thought, into an idea! Then, use that idea, and write a novel! Well, I agreed, simple as that. Not that I wanted to choose any other way. He gave me excitement for the plan. Over the next 4 years I gathered concepts to put in the novel. I created a full world, so much so, it would take 5 novels just to introduce it all! At the age of 17, I was ready! I broke ground in September 2007 and began the first draft of my first novel. By June of the next year (2008), it was completed. I took a writing class over the June-July crossover. Ever since then, I have been writing short stories in the world I had previously developed. I have also been continuing work on its history. I now have 12 novels waiting to be written! I also intend to grow my short stories into novels. I was also not including the two other worlds I’ve done some work on. That adds at minimum, another 3 novels. I am eternally grateful to Jesus Christ for all of these ideas He has given me! The glory for everything I write goes to Him! |
