I suspect none of those will be Matthew 25:31-46
Of course, yes, Matthew 25:31-46!
Gotta love when people cite chapter and verse of the bibke and expect everyone else to know what the fuck they're referring to.
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
that's nothing compared to Matthew 21:17 tho
Thanks.
Your username, is it a reference to Eck and Eckankar? Found a cooy of the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad at a garage sale years ago and had a good laungh with it.
No, although I am aware because I ironically read and enjoy a bunch of dumb stuff like Charles Fort, Golden Dawn etc
I used to post on usenet and BB boards in the 90s under a username referencing the video game Eternal Champions and abbreviated it to "EC" which became "Eck" in IRC rooms.
The funkless part is what a drummer once called me when I played bass in a band.
New age stuff were a lot of fun reads. I liked buying up weird books at small shops and garage sales.
I am sorry for your lack of funk. I would suggest getting some from the reflecting pool, but am certain that it is a bad choice of funk.
To be fair, that one COULD be interpreted as pretty bigoted towards goats.. 😁
Come to think of it, though, that's far from the only time. I guess the drunk and high monks who wrote the bible just really didn't like goats 🤷🏻
Maybe it's because the eyes aren't "human".
Could be..if not for the fact that sheep eyes are like that too.
And those weirdos loved sheep SO much 😄
