1B We should not give that which is holy to the dogs or cast our pearls before the hogs, lest they trample them with their feet and turn and tear us (v. 6):
21 In Matthew 7:6 that which is holy must refer to the objective truth, which belongs to God; your pearls must refer to the subjective experiences, which are ours.
32 Dogs do not have hoofs, nor do they chew the cud; hogs have divided hoofs but do not chew the cud; thus, both are unclean (Lev. 11:27, 7; cf. Acts 10:1-15, 28).
43 According to the revelation in 2 Peter 2:12, 19-22, and Philippians 3:2, dogs and hogs in Matthew 7:6 refer to people who are religious but not clean.
54 When we talk to others about the truth or about our precious experience of Christ, we must perceive and determine whether or not they have the capacity to receive what we intend to share.
