False Christ's and false spins of the Gospel are the norm, not the exception. Many false reads, standard.
When Jesus talks of sheep and wolves it is obviously allegorical and must be "connected" to understand the players involved.
Who are the players? God (His Living Word), sheep (people) and the wolves (Satan and his messengers.
How could "ALL" that ever came before Jesus being thieves and robbers actually be ALL thieves and robbers?
Listen:
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and >>> the wolf catcheth them,<<< and scattereth the sheep.
If we don't, individually, understand that "ALL" are caught by the WOLF we will never understand Jesus.
Here Jesus tells us this same thing, again. This is a basic understanding:
Mark 4:
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, >>>Satan cometh immediately<<<, and taketh away the word that was sown >>>in their hearts.<<<
Now, ask me how relevant it is to alarmingly point at some false messiah that supposedly lived 50 years before Christ?
Irrelevant to the Word facts.
All have sin. All have sinned. Sin is of the devil (1 John 3:8)
The devil, Satan and his, are the real wolves. And these wolves interact INTERNALLY within the hearts of ALL sheep.
IF you don't know this for yourself as a believer, you should. But the WOLF will stop believers from hearing these facts.
Those who hear, see, know the facts of Gods Word will see themselves accurately. And these are sent out in this fashion:
Matthew 10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
The wolf is not the other people. Not the false Christs, not the unsaved, not some other guy or some other denomination. The wolves are evident in our own evil thoughts. We bear evil withIN us. All of us. See Romans 7:21 for Paul's example. Or even more boldly stated in 2 Cor. 12:7 where Paul outright states he has a "messenger of Satan" in his own flesh.
How did that happen? See Mark 4:15.
