Cat and Dog Theology 

A dog says:
“You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, You must be God.”

A cat says:
“You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, I must be God.”


It’s very hard to differentiate between a Dog and a Cat in church. They both look and act “Christian” but there is a huge difference in their heart attitude.

Getting To Heaven
Cats have a tendency to walk away from hell. Their sole focus is on themselves. Dogs walk toward heaven having fallen in love with God. Many Christians today are joyless simply because they are still focused on themselves and are walking away from hell.

Guarantee of Salvation
Cats are sure they are Christians because they “prayed a prayer” some time in their lives. Dogs are sure they are Christians because they see the fruits of repentance and hunger for God in their lives .

Obedience School
Both Cats and Dogs want obedience in their lives. Dogs want to obey God. Cats want God to obey them. You usually see this reflected in their prayer lives.

Quiet Times
Both Cats and Dogs have quiet times. Dogs focus on God’s glory (they think, “How is God’s reputation being affected by my life?”) and Cats focus on themselves (how can they better their life…?)

Prayer
Dogs pray to establish God’s kingdom. Cats pray to establish their own kingdom.

Blessings
Cats focus on gathering all of God’s blessings with a bucket. And once they have them, they keep them. Dogs gather as many blessings as they can from God and pass them on to others. They know that the blessings are meant to go through them to others.
