Bible question of the day:
Matthew 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
"Here the phrase is used in a metaphorical sense; and is generally understood of not delivering or communicating the holy word of God, and the truths of the Gospel, comparable to pearls, or the ordinances of it, to persons notoriously vile and sinful: to men, who being violent and furious persecutors, and impudent blasphemers, are compared to "dogs"; or to such, who are scandalously vile, impure in their lives and conversations, and are therefore compared to swine"

Question: All the "commentaries" that I have found say basically the same thing, don't share the Gospels will those that can't appreciate it. If we are to share the message with everyone, than we have to share it with everyone. Is there another meaning for this verse, that I have not found?
