So if Jesus is the shepard does that mean that christians are the sheep?

Baaaa

sheep were not confined to a gated area in the Bible Times which is WHY they needed a shepherd

doink

yes

no

A good shepherd will give his own life to save one of his sheep

Mat 12:11 And Jesus said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?

Luk 15:4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

Jesus did - and one of those sheep was you. And this is how you thank him.....go figure.

Psa 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Psa 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.

Psa 100:5 For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his truth [endureth] to all generations.

Question 1: YEP.

Question 2: NOPE

Simplistic questions only deserve simplistic answers, dear.

Yup, and as a farmer, i comprehend precisely what takes place to sheep and different cattle. The shepherd might defend and raise them at the same time as they stay, yet while they are grown, properly...you recognize what takes place. Frankly, that analogy continuously did malicious program me approximately Christianity and it did no longer help to advance up in a church that did no longer like replace and did issues the ideal comparable way from sunday to sunday. suitable in the previous I moved out on my own and end going, it unnerved me to work out how human beings in my church behaved in the process provider, all thoroughly in sync. certainly, all of it comes right down to 2 words: herd mentality.

You are absolutely correct..free-thinking is forbidden.
