GOD SAID RETURN YOUR ENEMY’S WANDERING ANIMAL.
EXODUS 23:4 (KJV)
“If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.”
That’s God’s instruction.
Not my opinion. Not something I made up. It’s right there in the Bible.
God didn’t say to return the animal only if you liked its owner.
He didn’t say to return it unless it crossed your property line.
He didn’t say to kill it because it inconvenienced you. SSS ain’t gonna keep you from God’s judgement.
He instructed His people to return a wandering animal even when it belonged to their ENEMY.
Now, let’s talk about some of the comments I see on this page.
Many of you claim to be Christians.
Your Facebook profiles proudly proclaim your faith. You praise Him on Sunday, share Bible verses, and tell the world how much you love Jesus.
Then you come over here advocating shooting somebody’s dog because it crossed a property line or interrupted your deer hunt.
Some of you even promote SHOOT, SHOVEL, SHUT UP.
Shoot the dog. Bury the evidence. Keep your mouth shut.
Now, help me understand something.
If God instructed you to return your enemy’s wandering ox, how do you justify killing your neighbor’s dog simply because it disturbed your recreational deer hunt?
I’m not talking about defending yourself against a dangerous animal. I’m talking about a dog that poses no immediate threat to anybody.
You can support property rights. You can believe people should control their animals. You can be frustrated when a dog ruins your hunt.
But where in that Bible does it say your inconvenience justifies cruelty?
And how do you reconcile praising God on Sunday with advocating shooting somebody’s dog and hiding the evidence on Monday?
I’m not here to judge anybody’s salvation.
But I am going to ask you to explain how that behavior squares with the Scripture you proudly share.
Because Exodus 23:4 doesn’t tell you to shoot, shovel, and shut up.
It tells you to return the animal.
And remember, God wasn’t even talking about a friend or somebody you liked.
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT YOUR ENEMY.
Think about that the next time somebody’s dog wanders through your deer stand.
DON’T SHOOT HUNTING DOGS
Somebody Loves That Dog.
