Just waiting for the Rapture at this point!
The Carnivores vs The Herbivores
This is a made up story I wrote illustrating the meaning of a bible passage. It is very similar to the parables that Jesus used to explain bible principles.
There was a very kind man who loved animals almost as much as he loved people. He had a large amount of property amounting to 500 acres. He also had many children amounting to 37 of all different ages. His children loved animals almost as much as the kind man. The man decided that he should fence in his land and get many animals that he would take care of. As he never wanted these animals to harm his children, he only wanted herbivores meaning those who eat only plants.
This man was getting older and was not as spry as he once was, so he told 10 of his son to go out and find as many herbivores as they could and bring them to his fenced in land. His sons were very happy to get this tasks as they loved anything that had to do with animals. There was one problem though. The sons did not know which animals were herbivores (eat plants) and which were carnivores (eat meat). So they asked their father how they could tell which animals were herbivores and which were carnivores.
The man was not only kind, but also very wise. He told his sons that this is what they should do. They should go out with two large wagons. One wagon would be filled to the brim with plants and the other wagon would be filled with meat. The only animals they should bring back to be fenced in and taken care of are the ones attracted to the plants to eat from. This system worked perfectly as all the animals were very hungry and were drawn to what it was that wanted to eat.
This made up story or parable is way to explain salvation. There are two categories of people which are those whose heart is full of evil continually and those whose heart while infected with sin also seek to do good. Those who seek to do evil continually are not attracted to what is good. Those who seek to do good, but sometimes resort to sin are attracted to what is good. Whether you agree with this statement or not, just consider it as you read the bible verses below focusing on John 3:19 – 3:21.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
An example of those not attracted to good are in the following verse.
Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
An example of someone attracted to good, but did sin many times is spoken of in the verse below.
Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
