The Bible mentions the flock quite frequently. Does that make followers of Christ sheeplike in mindset or due to free will not sheep?

The biblical analogy is that Jesus is the Shepherd. He will always take care of his herd. The political analogy of sheep =/= the biblical analogy.

Matthew 10:16 Persecution Will Come “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.


So yes, we are sheep, and serpents, and doves. It’s almost like metaphors have some insightful applications, but there is no single all encompassing metaphor for every context.

That’s tough to answer without knowing who Christian is, and what exactly you think his sheep are doing.

We are all sheep, Christian or otherwise. The question is who or what is your shepherd

Faith in a plan/purpose coupled with a set of guiding principles give meaning and hope to people. Net net I think it’s good for the human psyche. If adhering to that via organized religion makes someone a sheep, then sure, I guess Christians are “sheep.”

Sincerely,
an atheist

If I was to give a current day example of sheep it would be the 81 million brain dead Americans who voted for Brandon ….allegedly.

They line up to be sheared and bleet about how much wool they give their master whom they call a shepherd.

So yes, they are sheep and self identify as such.
