Dog and Swine Culture

Scripture/Bible:  "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you…….12 So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matt 7:6, 12-14

Reflection: “Men have goodness in them and they are basically good,” said the preacher, so that all may believe, in what he had to dish out.

On the other hand you have Jesus reminding us: “And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.”  Mark 10:18

And now we have Jesus more explicit and clear and it seems; there could be among humans who are dogs and swine’s.  Though this judgment is not with us but the visible manifestation of these creatures is not a distant dream.

The extreme measure you can follow to identify them is to throw what is holy or throw your pearls to them and see how they trample things under foot and the vicious among them may even charge at you in order to attack you.

Who are these dogs and swine’s? They could be the faithful, either in active service of the Master or a pet in the house of the Lord or could be an unclean one to be shunned lest they make you unclean too.

The worst is the swine class who sometime reign in the church of God, who fail to see the value of the pearls and have gone for any types of food as long as it is food; any types of spirituality as long as it is spirituality.

So we have unbridled inculturation, theological syncretism, new age as world views, compromised dialogues, proclamation of one’s achievements, practice of eastern spiritual techniques and Psycho-Social spirituality and  Marxist-liberationist ideologies – unclean food of the swine!

Like the swine; as long as it is food that fills the stomach, and keeps them and those who follow them, alive for the day of slaughter.   

Prayer: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths." Isa 2:3/ Mic. 4:2
