Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Good works apart from faith don't make you saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9
It's not being a good person that saves you.
Acts 16:31
Matthew 7:22-23
James 2:18-22
What love is it to let someone wander into Hell? That's not loving at all! Yes, we should be good people and do good and show our faith by it, and share our faith in a calm and respectful manner- not soapboxing on a street. But we should still share our faith.
I believe we should share our faith too, but a huge part of how we share that is the verse right before your last Scripture quote.
James 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Actions speak louder than words. You can show your faith far better by living the Word, rather than giving it lip service.
Matthew 15:8-9 'These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.' They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.
Anyhow, I've said my piece on it, take it how you will. I hope you have a good evening!
As long as Christians should share their faith and create new disciples, that's fine. Other commenters seemed to say that we shouldn't, though. And your comment did come across as "look at me, I can meet your atheistic standard, too!"
Romans 12:18 - If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Another precept for us to live by. Do not confuse style with intent. I'm attempting to keep the sand on my feet.
