[Land of the Irish]

The good shepherd needs to nourish the entire flock, not the troublesome one who keeps slipping away. He will get to that sheep, but not to the detriment of the others who have been starving in recent years.

"4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after that which was lost, until he find it?"

" 5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing?"

" 6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?"

" 7 I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance."

Luke 15:4-7, Douay-Rheims Bible

I suggest you study your own religion, before you continue your feeble attempts to be an internet preacher.

Dear Land of the Irish,

"I suggest you study your own religion, before you continue your feeble attempts to be an internet preacher."

I suggest that many of the good things that you have to say would be better received if you did not poison them with thorn-ladened comments like this.

Here, I'll throw a wrench into your circuitry. How do you square Luke:15 with Luke 9:5?(Douay Rheims)
