Answer: The first one is genuine. The second one is a paraphrase of how we use/abuse this scripture to recruit people to fill 'slots' in a local church.

Just curious...:)


Good question. Sometimes posts just make me go "huh"? This is one.

If you can't imagine how the Matthew passage could be abused in such a situation, count yourself fortunate.
