You are, clearly. LOL

You're wrong, of course.
See what Paul says about coveting in Romans 7.
Coveting comes from the Ten Commandments.

Well, it's good that you can admit being brainwashed.
Most people refuse to admit that.

I did not admit being brainwashed - I REPORTED being called brainwashed
I reported you, too, for piggy-backing on the BRAINWASHED insult

Do you deny or do you confess that Paul's words as recorded in Acts 20 spoken to the Ephesian bishops about the Ephesian church, when he called them a flock, is that accurately recorded by Luke? Did Paul actually call the Ephesian church a flock? Do you agree with that?

You might be. Probably of the vulture variety.

Actually you get more milk from goats than you do sheep. They're much easier to milk, too.
Anyone ever tried to milk a sheep?
Genesis 27:9
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:

That passage is NOT about "being God's sheep". It's about providing for those that minister the gospel.
You guys are one verse wonders. Stop trying to FORCE things on the scripture and just believe what it says. Paul never calls believers in the body of Christ sheep.

But they work so hard to wrest the truth of scripture. That might count toward their works salvation, do you think?

No one ever said it was "about" that. Straw man.
Mmm, yeah: Acts 20:28 " Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock."
So there's both "the flock" (equated to "the church of God") and "providing for" (v. 28 "feed").
He just calls believers in the body of Christ the same word that Jesus calls the Jewish people in Luke 12:32 " Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
It's true!

This reminds me of when Jesus said they would not believe even if one rose from the dead.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
