See my post 5550. Bats were never birds; men were never dogs; sheep were never fish (and the mustard seed was not the smallest seed even in the first century Palestine). No matter what or whose taxonomy. Some things are the way they are even if you don't understand them.

Again, you're studiously missing the point.

So are you.

Evil is evil and was never good, and never will be good, no matter what taxonomy is used. Things are created the way they are God would not mislead His prophets to think they are something else.

God leads and men follow—imperfectly. God's truth is always true. Man's perception and interpretation of God's truth are not. Matthew thought he was quoting Jeremiah but ended up quoting Zechariah. Do you believe the Holy Spirit misguided Matthew? I don't. I am certain it was his own omission.
