A big problem with this analogy and street preaching is
that "sheep" are already in the fold so they "know"
the voice of the Shepherd - even John the Baptist was
preaching to God's Covenant people.
I have my own issues with
the methods of some Street Preachers (not all)
because I don't like "throwing yourself down from the
pinnacle of the temple" type antics. However, they are doing something not
many of us would want to do
and they are exposing ppl who would never be
confronted in their own circles to the name of Jesus - Paul said that even if someone is out
there for a wrong motive we should be thankful for that, so I now bless them in
Jesus name. jt

Jeff Powers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:perfect analogy!From: Slade HensonWhat do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
Anyone who has raised sheep knows you can't get the lost sheep to come back to the fold by chasing and screaming at her.
