The bible says to not strain at a gnat, but a parable is not a gnat ;)

[redleghunter]

People are like waters as the prophets indicate. So ... going back to day two of the creation ... can you say why God took the identical waters and separated them from the other identical waters? Because the setting apart seems to be related to that.

Think of it as the separation of liquids.

Matthew 13 is a good example of parables.

Isaiah 8 and Isaiah 24 use the keyword "flood" to talk about an invasion.

Passages related to the "cedars of lebanon" come to mind, but we're talking about water at the moment.

None of what you are saying is making the least bit of sense (except maybe to you which is OK if you are only talking to yourself). If you want to use specific words at least have the courtesy to quote chapter/verse not just chapter.....unless of course that is too much work?

 

[W2L]

Including Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14?

I just read That Lev scripture. Why are shrimp considered unclean? They seem to have scales and a tail fin. Doesn't that make them clean?

Yes it does.

Not enirely sure what you're looking for. If you're going to feign ignorance, giving a sample of text to read is not unreasonable.

Not feigning anything; most people when they quote something or refer to something in the Bible give chapter/verse not just chapter......it is a courtesy thing.

no, they're not clean.

Shrimp don't have scales and fins


salmon, for example, have both fins and scales making them a clean fish

I see scales

I see scales

No you don't. Shrimp don't have scales

Unlike salmon, which do (have scales)

 

[W2L]

No you don't. Shrimp don't have scales

They have very large scales, and the bible doesn't use "fish only" as a qualifier, and actually does the opposite. IT mentions swarming things and every creature of the Ocean. I wont argue about it though, so just I forget said anything.

Who's arguing?

Here is what God says:

“‘These you do eat of all that are in the waters: any one that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas or in the rivers, that you do eat.”
‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭11:9‬ ‭ISR98‬‬

God said to only eat fish from the water that has fins and scales. Shrimp don't have fins and scales, therefore they're unclean.

“‘These you do eat of all that are in the waters: any one that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas or in the rivers, that you do eat. But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, all that move in the waters or any living creature which is in the waters, they are an abomination to you. They are an abomination to you – of their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you abominate. All that have not fins or scales in the waters is an abomination to you.”
‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭11:9-12‬ ‭ISR98

Shrimp move in the water, but don't have fins and scales. Guess what the only thing is in the water that moves and has fins and scales? Fish! HalleluYah!

Something like they strain out a gnat, but swallow like a camel. Or perhaps they strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Camel is not kosher (Deut 14:7). Pray about it.

The Holy Spirit made shrimp clean for us. That is why jumbo shrimp cost $23 a pound and crab meat costs $27 a pound at one retailer in Boston.

There are more than 2,000 different species of shrimp worldwide, all of which are invertebrates which means that shrimp do not have a backbone. Instead, shrimp have a hard exoskeleton (the shell of the shrimp) which is often transparent and colourless making shrimp difficult to see in the water.

Is a backbone a requirement for clean sea creatures?

Don't know, but scales are.
What you saw and thought were scales was the exoskeleton.

No one in history found so far who is kosher
ever identified shrimp as okay,
as far as God's Instructions go ......

That they are. What's a good parable using fish?
