It means that we should have TOTAL faith in God that He will provide for all of our needs. Just as the animals that He has created do not worry about their needs and what will come tomorrow, neither should we. We should always trust in Him completely.\n\nAdditionally, this statement if meant for believers, so if they do not believe in God, then ferris bueller's comment about the starving children in Africa have no bearing on God's promise. You can't have faith in something that you do not believe in. \n\nAlso, for those who do believe, they still must have faith. Worry-warts sometimes cause more harm to themselves by trying to solve the problem quickly, as opposed to letting God solve it. Like, for instance, spending money on lottery tickets--trying to get rich quick--as opposed to spending the money on a bag of rice and some bread or flour (just an example).

Well, as you can see below, it could mean a "Bold Rooster", or a "Bold Gaullian" (for lack of a better name for one from Gaul).  It depends on the context.  For instance, if it is from Caesar, it is most likely referring to the Gauls.  But if it is about agriculture, cooking, etc...you get my point.

All that I can find is that it is a colloq. word that means dirty  as ab adjective  or pig, hog as a noun.  I don't see any precaution you know, other than the obvious that it is a vulgar word.  Useages differ from one group to another of Spainish speaker so...

the last part means exactly what is happening here now in YA between believers and unbelievers. what believers considers as holy and pearls  are the good news,salvation and faith which means foolishness and stupidity to unbelievers. look how unbelievers show disrespect and arrogance.\n\nGOD already knew what will happen in the future thats why he already gave that message and warning to believers.

Who's the quote from?\n\nWe are to fish for men/women with the truth of God's Word. When you fish you use bait or a lure. You dangle the bait enticingly and don't beat them over the head with it.\n\nGod and His Word do the cleaning.

I think you have two terms mixed up, it can be either....\n\n"SO MOTE IT BE" = It is so...  or  Amen.\n\nor\n\n"SMOTE" = past tense of SMITE  -  or to hit \n\nI don't think "smote it be" means anything.\n\nThis very archaic language and not used much any more.

It's a Chinese proverb you're thinking of. You've almost got it right. The correct version is:\n\n"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

I think this is a typographica error. They are referring to stillborn pigs, i.e. pigs born dead.

first of all, the answer that conundrun  dr gave doesn't relly make sense acc. to the question. the question is why the ANIMAL had to be a male, not the one that brought it.\nnow to answer the question, the burnt offering was brought to attone for thinking not good thought's, as we see in job. 1. 5., therefore if someone thought to do a sin and they held thenselves back it means that that person had a very strong control on themselves, and being that men tend to be physically more strong, the offering that was brought was a male to represent that control that the person had.

It's an old English proverb.\n\nIt means if you dress up nice, it will make a better person of you (Clothes make the man, is another such proverb). For eg., if you wear a designer dress/ suit, it will make you look more classy than shabby clothes.\n\nI think the origin was Thomas Hardy's Tess of d'Ubervilles? AM not sure

I have never heard of it. I have butchered hogs (not commercially) and that idea has NEVER come up. I cannot see any logical reason to do it. I think he was making it up. How did he say he did it?

This expression, meaning "be very careful to behave correctly",\nhas been in use from the 17th century on.  Theories include:  an\nadmonishment to children learning to write; an admonishment to\ntypesetters (who had to look at the letters reversed); an\nadmonishment to seamen not to soil their navy pea-jackets with\ntheir tarred "queues" (pigtails); "mind your pints and quarts";\n"mind your prices and quality"; "mind your pieds and queues"\n(either feet and pigtails, or two dancing figures that had to be\naccurately performed); the substitution of /p/ for "qu" /kw/ in the\nspeech of uneducated ancient Romans; or the confusion by students\nlearning both Latin and Ancient Greek of such cognates as _pente_\nand _quintus_.  And yes, we've heard the joke about the instruction\nto new sextons:  "Mind your keys and pews."
