Jesus Virus v1.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've recently come up with a creative analogy for the relationship we have with Jesus. It portrays his charector as a sort of holy virus that invades every area of our life. I'm looking for feedback on this analogy, does anyone see any problems with it? I thought it was rather cute and would be a good way to explain to others just how Christians are meant to change to be more like Christ. Anyone?? Feedback please?
In His Grip,
Matt

If you are implying by Jesus Virus v1.0, that it is a computer virus, I have a couple of problems.
Although I can see some connections, like it infects your mail program and sends itself out to all of your contacts ( you witness to all of your contacts ), or maybe it's a time-bomb virus that doesn't do anything for some amount of time ( planting a seed in someone ).
But the fact that a computer virus does something bad to your system, doesn't fit--for me--with Jesus' character. Jesus comes in and takes out the bad and lets the good in, he doesn't put something bad in you.
Try the analogy with a biological virus instead. They infect the body, can be contagious, can't be destroyed, and don't let crazy CS people like me complain.

Well I was trying to decide between an analogy of a computer virus, and a biological virus. But it seems to me that a biological virus does seem to fit as a more biblically based analogy. However, I do believe it could work as a computer virus analogy. Though it would havea to be thought of as a GOOD virus. For instance, let's say someone created a virus that when opened would scan your computer for problems and correct them, and then would send itself to everyone in your email address book, like you stated. That seems like a fairly decent analogy, although the biological virus idea does seem to cover a lot more ground of the power of Jesus to invade every area of your being. Thanks for your input, it's greatly appreciated.
In His Grip,
Matt
