It's been said that pigs do that and I like it that way. Either way, Christians sure burn second hand bible passages to keep the fire going. These would be the lukewarm Christians of Rev. 3:16-17.

The point here is, as Boro Nut will know, that insight is required to polish raw words into gems while we still must use these same words to express the essence of our knowledge. These insights are called eidelons or eidetic images or ousia's or forms or even "the suchness of the thatness" in Buddhism. When we string these same words together in a certain sequence they mean something different to those with whom we share that knowledge while to others they just speak on behalf of truth (Jn.5:39-40; being a sophomore is dangerous especially when it come to Sophistry).

The Jews raised these 'pigs' among the gentiles to increase their data base and when they ran into their celestial sea they were brought to understanding. It is a metaphor similar to placing picket fences before them to get cross breeds.

We went satellite direct and that caused minor complications with my access here.

Hardly surprising under the circumstances I suppose. Exactly which planet are you currently orbiting by-the-way?

I'm so glad I split this. But I guess it should have gone to Humor.
