[QUOTE="jalexbrown"]The ancient Hebrews would have indeed considered a bat to be a bird. :|Hewkii
God wouldn't.
"Bird" is just a human classification of an animal. I would say it is not necessarily an error for God to have said that considering he was not discussion the physiological distinctions between any of these animals, just telling them not to eat them.Plzhelpmelearn
give me God's definition of "bird". how the heck should I know? Would you rather that God sit down and explain to the ancient hebrews why later generations would classify bats as mammals rather than birds then add bats to that list? He was talking to them on their terms not on you current understanding of the physiology of the bat.
No, because vague bible passages aren't and shouldn't be pinned to every single disaster.

i agree with this. The problem with apocalyptic literature and prophetic literature in general is that it is so vague that it can only be interpreted in hindsight.
[QUOTE="Silenthps"] what does that have to do with anything?Hewkii
Leviticus 11:13-19 "Bird" is just a human classification of an animal. I would say it is not necessarily an error for God to have said that considering he was not discussion the physiological distinctions between any of these animals, just telling them not to eat them.
[QUOTE="CRS98"][QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"][QUOTE="CRS98"] I'd personally go with quality over quantity, but even then, you still have a lot of quantity. I understand. If it helps my case the VCR even had a remote... DVD players come with remotes. I bet DVD's crap smells like cinnamon buns and rainbows too doesn't it?!?!
[QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"][QUOTE="CRS98"]I've seen DVD players for as low as $30, brand new. Why go with much outdated technology, when you can go with recently outdated (but still very used) technology.CRS98
Well 30 bux is cheap though still 3 times that of the price I paid for the VCR. I went with the VCR because people practically give away VHS tapes nowadays. I've seen people sell whole boxes of them for 5 dollars, and these are good movies too. I'd personally go with quality over quantity, but even then, you still have a lot of quantity. I understand.
