Talk:Sheep Go to Heaven

Elaboration on the Parable
Would it be outside of the scope of the article to give a bit more detail to the parable that the chorus alludes to? The quote in the article lacks the context given in the Bible where it is spelled out in detail exactly who the sheep and goats are by their actions. Most listeners probably have heard it's a reference to this verse, but have no idea why the sheep and goats are separated and sent to opposite afterlives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.129.231.58 (talk) 14:55, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Translation Choice
What the hell is the difference? The King James translation is perfectly intelligible and understandable by today's standards, unless you're illiterate, in which case I would high doubt you're using Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.89.16.99 (talk) 03:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Dead End Link
The external link was a dead end link.. took it off.

Any reason why the 1611 translation is the one quoted here? If readers have never heard of the parable of sheep and goats before, they will probably want a contemporary translation, right? I mean, someone looking up a reference to Dido isn't going to want quotes from a Renaissance English translation of the Aeneid; they'll want to know what the text says, clearly and accessibly... -leigh (&#966;&#952;&#8057;&#947;&#947;&#959;&#962;) 00:05, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

'''Can someone figure out what the following is supposed to mean? The first part isn't even a sentence, and the whole thing contradicts itself. '''

While it is certain the line "The Barber can give you a haircut" may be a reference to death as well. The term "a public haircut" was an expression used for people who were about to be beheaded. However this is unlikely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.74.228.18 (talk) 15:28, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
