Owls

[imperfectchristian]

Well I ran across this youtube video and I thought it was so neat that I would share it here with you guys. It's about the hunting ability of owls and shows it in detailed action with informative and enlightening commentary.

Now to bring the spiritual aspect into this....why does Scripture have negative connotations in relation to the Owl?

All I know is that the owl is an accepted symbol of a pagan god in the occult world. I choose to be careful about ANY symbol I would ever display. The owl is one for me as well, as much as I appreciate the actual bird as a marvellous creation, rich in sight and flight and predation abilities. I love them!

~ Cults always try to pervert God's creation as well as other things. Then they get the spiritually immature and doctrinelly unsound to freak out about God's creation so that you no longer are able to enjoy those things that God has created and the lessons you can learn from them.
~ Enjoy owls, they are awesome creatures.
~ Continue to discuss amongst yourselves...

Peace,

Because it hunts at night under the cover of darkness.......

Well...not always as evidenced by the video, but I do think that is a good possible explanation.

Thanks John.

The Bible says that when God gives up on a land, the owls take it over.

I didn't realize owls were so amazing. God really gave them some amazing senses. Where's the verse?

 

[SpiritPsalmist]

• Gen 1: 20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly and swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth in the open expanse of the heavens. 21God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.
  22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply in the earth. 24And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creeping things, and [wild] beasts of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so.
  25And God made the [wild] beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and domestic animals according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (fitting, pleasant) and He approved it.
• Acts 10:15 And the voice came to him again a second time, What God has cleansed and pronounced clean, do not you defile and profane by regarding and calling common and unhallowed or unclean.

The verse about the owl and the earth might be ref to Isaiah 34.

It is my opinion that wicked things can be done with anything. That should not stop me from enjoying God's creation.
