Wow! that was such an inspiring sermon, Pastor Zeke! There is nothing more important than instructing a delusional world in the real message of the Bible.

It's funny how people can read some simple black text set out on a white page and instead of actually looking at what it says, they bring such broad, slanted interpretations to those words.

In a somewhat related note, I think it's funny how people get all misty about the image of Jesus as "The Good Shepherd". Naturally, if Jesus ever did tend any sheep, He would be excellent at it. He would definitely protect those sheep against any accidents or predation and keep them fed and watered.

He would also shear them regularly and sell the wool, arrange for the more worthly males to mate with the females ( while cutting off the testicles of the unworthy ones )and slit the throats of the appropriate number of them on a regular basis. Then, of course, he would butcher the animals carefully so as to avoid tainting the meat. All the different parts of the sheep would be intelligently used to maximize its full economic value.

It seems silly to think that Jesus as a Good Shepherd would spend all his time hoisting cute little baby lambs onto his shoulders and chucking them under their little lamb chins with a smile. Sheep are livestock that need to be managed to benefit the shepherd. By that same standard, people are the property of God and He has every right to do what He needs to do with them in order to continue maintaining His world in good, Godly order.

Ipso facto, God and His Word are Sacred, everything else needs to be sorted, valued and handled in accordance to His Word.
