From Aesops Fables The Horse and the Stag A Bitter quarrel arose between the horse and the stag in the days when both creatures roamed wild in the forest. The horse came to the hunter to ask him to take his side in the feud The hunter agreed, but added: If I am to help you punish the stag, you must let me place this iron bit in your mouth and this saddle upon your back. The horse was agreeable to the mans conditions and he soon was Bridled and Saddled. The Hunter Sprang into the Saddle, and together they soon had put the stag to flight. When they returned, the horse said to the hunter: Now if you will get off my back and remove the bit and the saddle, I will not require your help any longer. Not so fast, friend horse, replied the hunter. I have you under bit and spur, and from now on you shall remain the slave of man This is Comparable to what James said in the Bible: The Message is Found in James 3:3, but I am adding the 2 verses that come Previous so that you can see the lesson here James 3:1-3 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. You see, when people choose not to be free of the leadership of other men, in otherwords, free of mastership, which normally comes from the Churches through established dogma, which is the chain that keeps one from being free, then they are not free to explore the truth for themselves, but rather are weighed down, and have bits in their mouths, so that they can only speak when the minister says speak, and can only believe what the minister says to believe
