Exactly.. Some people when presenting "its raining cats and dogs".. run to the window to see pets falling.. They miss the metaphor.. Being a dumbass don't disqualify you from being a christian.. thank god..
The truth is the smart ones are in sheep pen.. only the dumb ones follow the lords voice out into the pasture.. Smart ones can't seem to "git" the metaphors correctly and sometimes even at all.. i.e. thats WHY they are in the sheep pen.. DOH!..
Jesus when presenting a little child to the apostles as a model of perfection (when they argued about THEIR OWN supremacy in heaven) hit a hole in one.. Oh! to have watched Jesus eyes roll and hear the chuckle upon hearing that argument.. would have been precious..
Truly, a Spiritual man is a child before God.
