Earlier you mocked the words of Jesus. You might want to reconsider.

Nope, if I'm mocking anything it's your twisted opinion; and, by association, the denomination citied in this thread whose "divinity school"  espouses the CLEARLY anti-Christian doctrine of "Queer Jesus".

Matthew 25:33

SHEEP, which have ever been considered as the emblems of mildness, simplicity, patience, and usefulness, represent here the genuine disciples of Christ.

GOATS, which are naturally quarrelsome, lascivious, and excessively ill-scented, were considered as the symbols of riotous, profane, and impure men. They here represent all who have lived and died in their sins. See Ezek 34:17, and Zech 10:3.

Meanwhile, the context of the "sheep" referenced above in Mt 25, in Matthew 19 and John 14,  is still ABSOLUTE, wolf - as are the terms MALE and FEMALE.

Matt 19:4-6

4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'a 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?b 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

NIV

John 14:24

24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

NIV
