God does not have a favorite color, so the slaves were as
eligible for entrance as anyone else, but as darling as the little porker was, I
don't think Abraham or Jacob or David would want him rooting around their
mansion.(Even if he is far, far more sensitive than me).
I have this big problem. I think the truth is more
important than diplomacy or sensitivity, so I just blurt it out and take my
lumps. I really should pay more attention to preachers when they do a
funeral. They can take the sorriest son of a gun that ever walked this
green earth, and make him sound like a shoo in for Heaven before they are done
with the service, and never get caught lyin'. Some of us got it and some
don't. I am in the latter category.

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.

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?
