Terry,

 

FYI, I think pigs have souls, too.  My Aunt Jo had rescued a little runt from being killed when she lived on a farm many years ago.  It made a darling pet.  The only problem was that it got too big to lie on her lap, and when she put it outside it kept rooting through the screen door. It sure was affectionate.

 

If you recall, there was a time when Negroes were considered as low as dirt by some folks—which obviously didn’t make it so!

 

Come to think of it, I think that pig was more sensitive than you are. J

The comment in revelation was about people who have no more

morals than dogs.  They will not be in Heaven, and so

obviously, the dogs that they are compared to will also not be there. 

 Dogs were ranked along with swine by the Jews, and that is about

as low as it gets .(See Matthew, "Do not give that which is Holy

 to dogs, do not cast pearls to swine.)

 

As to my sensitivity; it has been suggested that it could be improved.

I suspect that this is so.

Blessings,

 

Terry

You aren't serious here are you? Surely you are pulling TT's collective leg
by suggesting that the use of "dogs" in Rev 22:15 refers to actual canines.
Could "dogs" in this context be some figurative, idiomatic, or pejorative
use of the word that was common in the period in which the revelation was
written to refer to some group or class of people?

>He is taking the old dirt nap, and that is as far as he is goin'.

Really, Terry. "Dirt nap"? Shouldn't you be a little more sensitive?
