In fact, so large, that he will swallow almost anything he can get into his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>In the same ocean, dwells a small animal called the urchin. The urchin is a parasite in disguise. When the urchin encounters a shark, he will roll himself into a small ball. When the shark swallows the urchin, the urchin unfolds in the sharks stomach and begins to eat, eventually killing his victim.<\/p>\n<p>We might think, What a stupid thing it is for the shark to swallow something without first knowing what it is hes swallowing! Yes, but, are not many so-called religious people like the shark? They will swallow almost anything as truth and as a result, will eventually die spiritually (eternal separation from God) (Romans 6:23-NKJV; cf. Isaiah 59:1-4-NKJV).<\/p>\n<p>Brethren and friends, lets not be taken in hook, line, and sinker with regards to so-called truth. Lets have the same humble and open mindset of the noble Berean Jews in Acts 17:10-11-NKJV, and be willing to daily search the Scriptures (they are inspired of God &#8211; 2 Timothy 3:16-AMP) to see whether or not the truth were receiving is actually from God or from man (John 17:17-NKJV; cf. Gal. 1:6-12-NKJV; 1 John 4:1-6-NKJV) .<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Follow my updates on Twitter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The shark is a large ocean fish with an equally large appetite.
