Well, I am a newcomer apparently to this conversation, not knowing what was
before and being too lazy to look it up, I was intrigued by the John 10 verse
and I did look that up. First of all, I am not sure what version of the Bible
you got this from, but when I am looking for authentic, as close to the
original as possible, I go for the original Greek translation.

Yikes! I know just enough Greek to order a Caesar Salad and to know that
Pluto’s moon is pronounced “Ka-ron” and not “Sha-ron.”
I grabbed that passage from somewhere online, but the one on my shelf is the
KJV, if only because I like the sound of the text in that version (and probably
because I studied English literature in college).
For that matter, I know enough Old English to read the bible (very slowly) in
that language, but that’s not exactly scrupulously close to the original text,
either.

Although, I must admit to wondering what is God’s purpose to creating all
those other stars and planets and stuff. Not that I believe in other sentient
life forms, but I wonder what our destiny is? Speculation that is.

It’s fun to ponder, that’s for sure.
Dave!
