Comments on: Was Jesus just a dumb hick?

You know, I’m sure Andy didn’t think of it this way, but his wanting to do away with the word Shepherd would infer that the Bible is not the inspired word of God, and argue against the deity of Christ.
Think about it, if this is God’s word, did He not know that it would be preserved and studied by future generations? Were these parts of the bible not inspired? Is God not all-knowing?
If Jesus really IS the eternal Son of God, and knew that His words would be preserved and passed on for centuries, was He incapable of saying something that would be eternally useful?

Again, I am sure that is not Stanley’s intention, but that is exactly why you don’t start ripping pages out of the Bible.

I agree that the word shepherd is significant and specific…we can’t lose that just because we’ve never seen one. Keeping with the agricultural theme…I’ve never seen a lamb up close other than on the discovery channel, but that word is pretty significant throughout scripture wouldn’t you say? Ironic how our Good Shepherd is the Lamb of God isn’t it…

amen brother! great post. keep up fighting for teh truth, and calling these guys. lets us pray for repentance and revival in evangelical churches, and return to letting the Bible dictate the life of the church, and not the cultural norm. let us pray that church members will wake up, and see the sin of thse so-called church pastors/leaders, and call them to repentance or remove them from their office. And let us pray that these pastors will listen and repen, and return to the authoritative, sufficient, true, and clear Word of God.

Great write-up Duncan. You’ve put his together so well, I’ll be surprised to see anyone even attempt to refute it.

It is very sad to see such clueless Pastors have such big egos. And definitely, the alarm should have been sounded a while ago. The church is sliding into mass apostasy while its congregants stand by and cheer.
