I would like to say that since you take the compliment of being a sheep of your God than thats what Im going to think of you as. A mindless wandering sheep who wants to take joy in following yet more sheep in repeating the same indoctrination from the Bible.
In the Middle East sheep follow their shepherd. I am more than happy, nay delighted (and at times ecstatic) to be following The Good Shepherd, who laid down his life for his sheep.
Better to be a sheep than a wolf. There is a pack of them right here, and they can't hide their ravenousness. The saliva dribbles as soon as a Christian appears.
BigWhammy earlier informed me that Paul_Richard's ignore list was a place of honour. Drakiir has now accorded me a double honour! Awesome. Hang on, here comes darcon with a tirade of blasphemy and mockery, followed by:
...Just in case Pause4thought wants to have a second look at this, then maybe he will do what his name says, pause for though! hahaha
"Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of Me. Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in Heaven..."
Gospel of Matthew 5:11-12a
Paul, Drakiir & darcon: thank you for bestowing me with ecstatic joy! I'm going to be praising God on the back of this for a long time. Even the joy it gives me now is but a drop in the ocean compared to what it will bring me through eternity.
The more hatred I have read on this thread for God and His Word the more I perceive those in spiritual darkness recoil from the true Light, and the more determined I am to let it shine.
Shut their eyes as they may, opponents of Jesus Christ cannot extinguish the light of the eternal God, Maker of Heaven and earth, of which Christ is the very embodiment.
Unexpectedly I have to end on a note of partial agreement with Drakiir: individuals or 'churches' that are money-oriented put people off the Bible. However when people follow Christ and his teaching - rather than focussing on some particular leader or leaders - false Christianity does not hinder them. Drakiir, and many others, ought to exercise more discernment: turning away from Christ because of mistakes his disciples make (whether sincerely or insincerely) is like rejecting pure spring-water because the cup is dirty. Pure folly.



Interesting theory! So many new terms for me...
