Terry,
I'd rather be around someone who is bluntly honest than around a "sensitive"
liar any day. This always gets me into trouble. :-)

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. :-)

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?
