This sounds like just another twisted way to justify your continual abuse of other people.A shepherd may be considered to be hostile by the wolf who is coming in to devour the sheep. David, a shepherd, killed the lion and the bear to protect his sheep.
Yes, to the sheep, the shepherd is kind. But to those who are threatening the flock, they would do well to beware the shepherd; for he will use the sword of the Spirit to defend the flock from wild animals.
While my heart has changed on a certain issue, I will say to you clearly that my mind has not changed on many others.
Yea, nothing has changed.
And continual abuse of not just me, but many others out there.To which I respond with Isaiah 57:15, which tells me that the Lord is outside of time; and this explains Jeremiah 1:5 differently than what you are proposing. And since Mormonism is considered to be a cult, I think I will go with the more orthodox interpretation.
