Hi Bob,
No offense was taken, my answer is true to what the pursuit of learning is about. You are indeed a very humble man, humility makes one able to always look for the other persons best interest first. GOD IS our Standard, HE IS In Everything, so everywhere we look, GOD IS.
Some have seen this Scripture in bits and pieces; now let us look at it again with GOD And our Lord Jesus Christ giving the instructions and we obeying; That is how sheep follow The Shepherd.Ecc 1:7-13 (CLV)7 All the watercourses are flowing to the sea, Yet there is no filling of the sea; To the place from which the watercourses are flowing, There they return to go forth again."
8 All the words are weary; A man cannot utter it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor is the ear filled with hearing."
9
What occurred once, it shall occur again, And what was done, it shall be done again. There is nothing at all new under the sun."10
Is there anything of which one may say:See this, it is new? It has already occurred In eons that were before us?11 There is no remembrance of former generations, And also for those who shall come after us, A remembrance of them shall not continue With those who shall come afterward."
12 I myself, the Assembler, came to be king over Israel in Jerusalem."
13
I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens:it is an experience of evil Elohim has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.Joh 10:1-5 (GNB)1 Jesus said, "I am telling you the truth: the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2 The man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him; the sheep hear his voice as he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out.
4 When he has brought them out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
5
They will not follow someone else; instead, they will run away from such a person, because they do not know his voice." Joh 10:11-16 (GNB)11 "I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.
12
When the hired man, who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away; so the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hired man runs away because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am willing to die for them.
16
There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock with one shepherd. george
