Subject: why pigs |
Bible Note: Dear humility, Scripture does not say anything about what Jesus was thinking in terms of whether the demons and swine were clean or unclean. Scripture gives one reason, and that is: the demons simply asked Him, and He granted them their wish. I would be loath to put thoughts in our Lord's mind... Luke 8:32 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons implored Him to permit them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission. John |
