Are You A Sheep?
The bible refers to the believer as a sheep. Any believer who accepts the bible as truth accepts being a sheep. Do sheep have individual minds?
Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand" (John 10:27-28, NKJV).
John 21:17 He said to him the third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me?’ Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.
"For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his
voice,"
Psalms 95:7, KJV
"Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made
us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep
of his pasture."
Psalms 100:3, KJV
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the
holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of
his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and
he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
Matthew 25:31-33, KJV
^^^^ Separatism
What is it like being a non thinking sheep? Ignorance is bliss right?hehe I know But I do believe in fairies...you know the sometimes nice always mischevious little people with wings
Well I don't believe, but you go ahead!
If you take a pic of one, maybe I'll change my mind ! Shoot Tantrum I wish I could get a picture of one. But of course even then I wouldn't show it to any one out of respect to them.
hey jen...doing okay but guess what? Friday night I got sick! so yea my weekend kinda sucked in that regards especially since our friends were here staying with us...don't even know what I am sick with either
Ooo word of adivice. NEVER step in a ring of mushrooms. Those are Fairy Rings! And it is said that if you do the fairies will come back and steal you away to their land then if you eat their food you will be trapped in their world forever.
unthinking - yet another new word today. I like it
Like your new pic tantrum
Automatically disbelieving is the same thing as automatically believing. In either case, there is no thought involved.
Having said that, how can a person believe some parts of the bible but not other parts? It's a complete contradiction. How can the "sacred knowledge" not be true throughout?
I use to be a sheep. I was miserable. I truly thought I was supposed to judge myself and others and be happy. Never was happy and almost committed suicide.
Since I "left the heard," I have been way more spiritual and happier with life. I actually have see life for what it is and know there is a deeper meaning than one person or entity judging my actions.
I was a bad, bad sheepThe only thing I really took from all of that is "Feed my sheep"
I think when people are young, in school, it can be easy to consider themselves sheep. They are in an environment of learning, not so much thinking independently. I got all the way to high school myself, before my own brain stopped seeing teachers as all-knowing people who should not be argued with.
I might be way off base thinking this, but it was my own experience.
If I had not by that point already throw away the bible (secretly), I can imagine that being a sheep would have become a foundation of my faith.
Then again that didn't happen so maybe my imagination is stretching things a bit.
I'm just trying to understand the idea, myself...- Crazdwriterposted 13 years ago

What have I done to deserve such ire?
Don't you have some religious forum to rile up somewhere?
I know you have a species bias, but this forum is actually about religion.... not sheep.
How ya doin', Ray?
Now, I have heard from many sources that a human thumb can grow back if it gets cut off. (seriously!)
So, here's hoping for your leg...I know, I just feel sooo comfortable here. I've never seen a thumb regenerate itself, but that would be cool.
You are the logical world's version of a satanic Spock.
That puts all kinds of pictures in my head...
Live long and prosper, mwah ha ha ha
I might just fire up Photoshop...-
Now, why did you go and say something mean like that?
I speak from honesty and love for humanity. I've come to a realization that religion must die, so civilization(mankind) can truly live life, as it was meant to and I'm going to spread my logical and factual knowledge to all those who will listen.
That means, most people need to push their own ego aside and open their ears and eyes, just so they can get answers.
I am not the only person on the planet who wants answers. Many hundreds of millions of people want a better understanding of Life. I can answer all questions that are needed to be answered.
