Jesus mentioned sheep when He resurrected. the believers are the sheep He was talking about. You can see that sheep is quiet and goat is not a good follower, But sheep are good follower, that is why He mentions sheep.

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

In our faith we believe that to mean the scattering of Israel - even as far as the Western Hemisphere.

We believe, and it is recorded, that Christ appeared to many people, his 'sheep', after his resurrection, including those that traveled over the ocean to the West. He appeared to those people and in the time he was there he taught the people as he had taught them in the Old World.


Howard W. Hunter explained, "Who were these “other sheep” which were not of the Jewish fold in Palestine, who would hear the voice of the Lord and be brought into the light of the gospel with the rest of his sheep? This reference was to a remnant of the house of Joseph who were living on the American continent, whose ancestors had left the Jerusalem area some six centuries prior to that time and traveled to the New World.

After his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection, the Lord did visit them, as he had said he would; and to those other sheep here in the Americas the resurrected Christ said:

“Ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

“And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the Gentiles.” (3 Ne. 15:21–22.)

Those who are familiar with the life and teachings of the Master from their knowledge of the books of the Bible will be interested to know there is also a record of his appearance to the people of the Western Hemisphere—the other sheep to whom he made reference. It is titled the Book of Mormon after the prophet who compiled and abridged the records of the peoples of the American continents. The Book of Mormon is another witness for Christ and records his teachings to the other flock in the New World. It is also a record of the historical events covering more than one thousand years of the travels and struggles of these people and the prophets who led and taught them."

Okay...this will open the forum for all the 'anti' stuff...but check it out for yourself and make your own decision. :)

7 [16] Other sheep: the Gentiles, possibly a reference to "God's dispersed children" of John 11:52 destined to be gathered into one, or "apostolic Christians" at odds with the community of the beloved disciple.

Some people believe He was talking about the Gentiles.

No one really knows for sure.

Yet another mis-translation: 'Sheeple'... not 'sheep' ... As in:
“The whole concept of religion and hell is used to rake in the bucks and keep the sheeple in place.” – Unkn.

They were sheeple, that is to say people who will follow him like a herd of dumb animals.
