Something interesting came up as we were workign on the calling of the first disciples story today. While we were talking about the part that says, "Like you have been catching fish, now you will be catching men..." Heather was realy puzzled and said, "Did Jesus want the disciples to kill people?" In other words, catching fish = killing fill, so if catching people is exactly the same as catching fish, then that must mean killing them too?
Needless to say, we worked on it, and she understood, and was able to adjust the phrasing to make it understandable that it was just in the way of "collecting/gathering" the fish - to illsutrate gathering people...not killing them!!
