The more we know about scripture, the more we are able to grow in discernment. If we really believe that bats are birds, how easy will it be for the Evil One to fool us into believing what will bring about our spiritual downfall?

So, you reject that God was speaking about flying creatures that were "clean" or "unclean" as far as eating? It should take a lot more than that to shake someone from trusting God's revelation.

[Kolokotronis]

“So, you reject that God was speaking about flying creatures that were “clean” or “unclean” as far as eating?”

I haven’t given it much thought to be truthful. I suspect that if I did give it much thought, I’d probably decide that it wasn’t God talking but rather a group of priests, and that is not to say that they might not have had good reason for declaring some foods “unclean”. That, however, has never stopped me from eating lobster or other shellfish or the very occasional Ostrich steak. I also drink milk when eating meat; in fact, I love to eat clam chowder which is about as un-kosher as you can get, short of perhaps boiling the pork chops in milk prior to frying them.

Do you keep kosher or do you live dangerously? :)
