    The "Shepherds" of Israel were the political and religious leaders, exploiting the people instead of leading and genuinely caring for them. Some religious leaders today behave more like politicians and will use Bible passages like "touch not mine anointed" to keep their "flock" in check and...

    Dumb

    Do you have Bible references for these? I know that God will separate the "sheep" from the "goats" with the sheep being the believers. and goats being unbelievers. Jesus said "my sheep know my voice". Also it was a "horned ram" which God chose as the sacrifice in place of Isaac. And Ezekiel 34...

    Virtually all grass-eating 4-footed farm animals will stick their heads through a fence. When we had horned goats they were constantly getting their heads stuck in the fences. But Southdowns are polled . Sounds like you had the wrong type of fence. In over 15 years of raising sheep I don't...

    Do you know all this, about sheep, from first-hand experience? Around my neck of the woods, Northwest Florida, there used to be what they called "Free range" wherein livestock was allowed to roam freely to be later rounded up to sell. My elderly next door neighbor, who still plowed with a mule...

    You will love them. I would advise getting at least two; sheep don't do well alone.

    This is one of my Blackbelly sheep, named "Sissy". As you might notice, she is communicating to me that she wants the petting to continue. In my 15 years of raising sheep, I have also observed other indications of even higher levels of intelligence from these animals. For a little genetics...

    Did God create people for Hell on purpose?

    I've never derived any of that in the Bible. "Create man to show the angels what murder is?" The Bible says........... Ecclesiastes 12: 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. and John 4: 23 But the hour...

    Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Psalm 90: Before the...

    Did God create people for Hell on purpose?

    21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23Therefore the...

    "Leading"

    Now where did you get those two "facts". It seems your assumptions have taken a downturn The "Holy Spirit" leads according to the Word of God False accusations are not something the Holy Spirit would approve of. Sir, as the result of my wife's phone call, the supplier's rep sent one (1) email...

    SO MANY FALSE PASTORS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

    1 John 4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth...

    "Leading"

    I never said, nor implied that it did. of course it doesn't and , no sane man wants a mindless, timid subservient slave for a wife. Where's the fun in that? Unless one gets their kicks by being a manipulative, controlling narcissist. That statement, then, kind of neutralizes...

    "Leading"

    So many times I've heard pastors/preachers speak of husbands being the "leader" of the home but without giving examples of how that plays out. You're left, after the sermon, wondering "how am I supposed to do this"? Well, my wife just gave me a real-life example to share.... We own a business...

    Loss of salvation???

    John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Was there ever a time that you "heard the word and believed on Him"? Did you "pass from death...

    Let me say, Jack Schaap may not have been the best choice for the photo because he spoke ill of and disrespected women. But he certainly abused his authority and power.
