Speaking of context, the rest of that passage is instructive for those who thought themselves sheep ending up with the goats; and vice versa.

Wisdom. Let us attend.

You are correct. However, the original scripture that was given to me was incomplete, i.e. out of context. I posted the scripture preceding so that other readers would know the complete context of what Jesus was saying regarding being visited in prison, and to challenge the OP to be more circumspect when quoting scripture. Had the thread been about sheep and goats, I'd of used that as well.

So, why do you feel the need to mention it? Do you cherry pick scripture in order to make scripture mean things it clearly does not? Context is everything in Holy Writ. That is the wisdom that you should attend to and properly chastise those who would misuse scripture. Or do you think it is OK to allow people to give false impressions of what the Bible says?
