Anyway, I apologize to Steelie for adding to his big gob of bait thrown out and leave the dog issue with this... Jesus, the title of this thread always kept it simple and was inclusionary...
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
I'm headed to California for 5 days... prayers needed... lol

Yep, in 1 Convictions 2:18 it talks about the thief on the cross being taken dawn, baptized than nailed back up. That is the only way he could join Christ in Paradise. So the children that are not baptized, die at birth, have not made it to baptism yet etc.... are not going to heaven? My comment was 100% sarcasm. From your question I think we are on the same page. I too will lave this line of posting and get back to the dog theme Steelhead started. My dog and I sharing quality time after a hard day's work.

speaking of Jesus, and dogs.. does anyone happen to have a rottweiler or doberman pinscher named Jesus?
as we all attempt to get this thread back on tract, i'm thinking a properly named dog means a lot in the life of that dog. Brutus for example causes me to think of a large, mean-spirited German Shepherd.
now, a dog named Scrapper would have to be a Scottish terrier, wouldn't he??

Judging from your posts on this thread,I think you and I probably have about the same slant on the whole "Christanity" deal. If Jesus was gonna die and stay dead,I believe He would have written stuff down Himself.But.....since He knew He would be available for questioning on a personal level,He abstained from that.History has shown the wisdom of His choice in that regard. I believe He wants us to come to Him for answers.That levels the playing field for everyone,including the illiterate among us. I think it no coincidence that the two sacraments most christian churches agree on,Baptism and the Lord's Supper,require a third person to administer them.Job security,I reckon! Finally,Jesus said there is none greater than John the Baptist............ and he wasn't a "christian". BTW.............. Meet "Tee" :

Tee IS a sweetheart!
I need to bring my pups next time I come out.
I cannot imagine an afterlife without my animal companions. They are a gift, one I believe is forever.

A poem I wrote many moons ago...... it sorta fits both themes of this thread :
Some evenin' times he makes his way To a britches-polished log And sets by a grave on top of a hill To talk to a long-dead dog
And maybe it's smoke from his cedarwood fire That fills old eyes with tears As firelight's glanced off limestone rock Like thoughts reflected off the years
The dog and him both thought that time Began with Fall's first freeze And they roamed the land,it was not yet fenced And hunted wherever they pleased
And he thinks of Heaven ever now and then When the bourbon's low in his cup And hopes he and the dog make it thru the gate 'Fore the "Posted" signs go up
