The shepherd tells his sheep that it is THEIR responsibility to be led and not misled, but really in THIS true world it is the shepherd's job to lead his sheep.
So? What about Matthew 24:4? Stupid people approved it at their confidential council meetings that Jesus' sheep should beware of not being misled.
The regular person was not invited to that meeting.
The regular person didn't even have a Bible. Good God, many of them didn't even know how to read.
What does it mean? It means do not be like them who come, who teach the Gospel any which way they want to and they mislead people.
Tell us when will these things be and what sign will you give and when will we be done? Look, not anyone you mislead* ........because many will come even in my name but THEY will mislead many people. Be not like them because they will bring in much trouble. I do not want you to be sharers with them in their making trouble.
take care that you do not mislead (like they do).
Matthew 23:3
*If you are following Jesus truly and obeying him truly and learning from HIM truly, you will not mislead anyone, of course not even yourself.
Anyway, the way Matthew 24:4 is being taught, the sheep are actually not being led by Jesus, because if they were being led by Jesus HOW
is it possible to not be led at the same time?
They are either led by him, or they are not. How can they be both led and misled accordant?
If they can be misled, then they really are not following him.
So then Matthew 24:4 is for who? Not Jesus' sheep, that's for sure.
