So, is it wrong to call the three magi "wise men, as the KJV1611 bible does?"

No -- since God calls them wise men as well.

When scientists do it though, it's different.

Ever heard of diabolical mimicry?

ETA: And they weren't 'magi', by the way.

So, its only OK when God uses the term? How do you know that God was not acting through Carl Linnaeus when he coined the term, as he did with the authors of Proverbs and Kings, etc.? You have disaparaged Linnaeus here and implied he was not a godly man... however, I believe you have acted in haste in your judgement of him.

And I'll ask for about the 4th time, did he do it in spite of the Bible, or in respect to It?

Of course not -- it's only ok when The Bible uses the term.

When God disagrees with the Bible, God can take a hike -- Boolean standards, and all that.

I don't think it did it inspite of the bible, no.

AVET's last post would seem to confirm this....

AV's hermeneutics in their entirety confirm this...

How would we be able to tell?

Your dad tells you not to go around saying you're a horsefly.

You go around saying you're a horsefly.

Did you do that in spite of what your dad told you, or with respect to what your dad told you?

So where does the Bible make any statement about biological classifications?

Well, 'that old fox' Herod, for one.

And perhaps here..

Ho 8:9 -For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

Wow, dad. Another post packed with useless commentary and an irrelevant bible quote. Thanks for playing.

So, nowhere, then. Thank you for once again telling us what we already knew.

Lots of places animals are related to humans in the bible really. As I mentioned Herod the Fox. Also watchmen were said to be like dumb dogs!

Isa 56:10 -His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark;
Then of course, there is this..


Mt 12:34 -O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

PS, you sig pic is too big, don't make me put up a big one too...

I understand that you don't do metaphor, but surely you can read one.

Or you're just wasting everyone's time, as always.

You're allegedly an adult -- you put up whatever you want to; your choice.

OH,OH! Don't let AV read this!

Why?

 

[mzungu]

Why?

Ask AV if he believes if humans are related to animals

 

[dad]

Ask AV if he believes if humans are related to animals

Being compared to animals does not mean we are physically related to them. More importantly, though, spiritually, many men are like animals in certain ways. For example..'cast not your pearl before swine'

You specifically claimed that the Bible says we are RELATED to ANIMALS! In the case you have forgotten here is your quote:
