Today's sermon......
01/03/16 at 09:02:23

"But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Then saying he to his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few.... (Matthew 9:36, 37)

The Bible is ripe with passages that bring comfort and inspire service.
But as I advance in age and experience, I find myself with a breaking heart often, repeating this passage a lot.
As I contact the world, all its complicated relationships, I can't help but be impressed that a multitude of people are truly like sheep with no shepherd, they have lost their way, and unless we have compassion on them, they will never find their way home; the way of truth and beauty, peace and joy; the Father's way as revealed in our Lord and Master.
It is compassion, not criticism, that is going to transform the world.
No matter how few we can help, we must want to help all, with a great yearning and desire that amounts to compassion, or the task will never be accomplished, "He was moved with compassion on them, as sheep having no shepherd"

Ouch Embarrassed

But since you have heard, and have rendered your thoughts on the matter, it would seem you have forfeited the plea of ignorance upon your death, to entrance into heaven. Seems that only leaves one avenue now

Can you give me reference to "a lot" as you state? Or, like a politician, exaggeration is acceptable if you need it to bolster a claim

Maybe, he liked prostitutes, and hung out with sheep a lot...

Either way,... seems a nice guy...
Wouldn't care to spend an eternity on a cloud with him though...
Do you think he misses the prostitutes?... they'll be where I'm going... Kiss

...
Lotstitutes... even better than 70 virgins...(what the heck do you do with 70 virgins?... teach them to be prostitutes?)...

My reference would be the New Testament.

No exaggeration necessary.

You seem a little defensive when it comes to Jesus' relationship with prostitutes.

Nope.....did you read the sermon and understand it?
Perhaps it ain't me you see in the mirror Embarrassed

I have read the book over many times, and indeed he defends women of many stripes, that is his nature.
I can assure you however when he returns, that extension will no longer be offered, to anyone who has not accepted him as the son of god, its that simple buddy.
If you still need to say a lot, go ahead, it is your god given right, whether you think it defends me or not Grin

PS: I am nothing but a ho anyway, I can dig it he accepts scum like me, can I get a Hallelujah Grin

I can appreciate A lot of what you share bot, you are consistent, and that says much about integrity to me, about you.....
Granted, I am basing this solely on an INTERNET personality and exchange, but being the savvy poker player I am, I read the back of cards pretty darn good, consistently.

Now where I find a chink in you armor, is that you claim to be a realist....

Now pray tell lad, how can you expect others to believe such folly utterance, when you believe all the stuff Obama says, eh?
The guy has left reality years ago, and is forging a new story that makes the bible seem like an encyclopedia Grin

Son...... please don't expect to win the pot with only a pair of deuces Wink
