All that ever came before me Denotes the whole of past ARE Thieves Robbers Denotes the present This can be only refer to the various beliefs since the fall of man for all those beliefs were attributed to some god or other to says the gods to say all other beliefs by their gods against the belief in the God of Abraham through His covenant Christ

This verse is a real eye opener. It reveals clearly who are from the Lord and who are not. So this probably can be applied in a present day Indian context too, where there are plenty of temples of Hindu faith with idols of their Gods. While our God says his people or sheep shall not worship any other gods him I am wondering why am I concerning myself with others. Should it be so just because I live in India. But yes I do have a Hindu lineage on the mother's side while she herself is baptised but backsliding. May God help.
