Never a Man Spoke Like This
Once the Pharisees sent out officers to arrest Jesus, but they returned empty-handed, saying, "Never a man spoke like this man."(John 7:46) Look at His words: "I am the way, the truth and the life. I am the resurrection and the life. He than believes on me has everlasting life. He that has seen me has seen the Father. I am the light of the world." Never a man spoke like this Man, because this was no ordinary man. This was God in human form, and He came to this earth to destroy the power of death. If we know this, if we have experienced His power in our lives, if we have been saved from death, then how can we not say with the disciples, "We cannot but speak that which we have seen and heard!"? There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

I'm just curious...where's it say that? Can you give me the chapter and verse?
11:13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls ; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
...yet more birds you can't eat (sorry)...
11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat

The Word of God also says bats are birds.

Originally posted by scottishinnzAgain, because God was speaking to man, who, at the time, classified flying (and other winged animals) as birds, God instead should have classifed them for him? This makes sense to who, exactly?
