RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 09/17/18> Black sheep, blacklisted, black balled… why is black almost always the adjective describing something bad?

I'm thinking I should write a post about this, but I'm thinking simple words describing biological functions don't have anything to do with JC and everything to do with 'class'. Like stay in your place, boy. Authored by people whose real intent and interest is to stay in charge like Popes and MPs and preachers and such.

The only real prohibition on language I have been able to find in my studies of the bible is the one "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain." You know they meant it when they gave it a Thou Shalt Not in front of it. Not that the other 9 are followed exactly, either.

Anyway, I'm not saying that JC said those words (or whatever was used in place of them at the time) but I am saying that he was around them because he hung with and ministered to the 'lower class'. He wasn't particularly interested in keeping the current upper class in place. It's what got him killed. Sedition. Talking against your leaders.

Yes, the 10 things you won't find in a court house are seldom followed any more.
Talking against your leaders sure can get you killed, even in this day and age.
