Ya . . . what?

In the spirit of my youtube movie file, Loudmouth, let's try this again.
When you see the word "star" in the Bible, think of it like you would think of the word "tool."
There is a [tool] that drills holes ... there are [stars] that wander around the night sky.
There is a [tool] that drives nails ... there is a [star] that leads men to a specific address.
There is a [tool] that tightens bolts ... there is a [star] that strikes the earth.
I have a feeling obtuseness is being employed in this conversation by our gallery of ... um .... academic scholars for entertainment purposes.

The context should alert the reader as to what specific object is being referenced.

And we're right back to Square One, aren't we?You forgot to mention that to the naked eye a planet looks exactly like a star, and perhaps that is what the people who wrote the Bible thought planets were, stars that changed position in the sky while others didn't.
And we're right back to Square One, aren't we?
What word should be used in Jude 13? in your opinion?

"No sorries" -- as they say in euchre.Sorry AVET,
Known or not, if the term being employed was meant to be a poetic term ... (and I suspect it was) ... your science can take a hike.Exactly, but the authors of the KJV1611 bible should have translated it to "planet," since by then they were known to be different from stars.
Live in it, but not of it.What should we do with the real world around us?
It was written before the earth ever existed.It depends, was Jude 13 written 3,000 years ago or in 1611?
Live in it, but not of it.
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Oh, really? So the Bible was already written before the events described in it actually happened? So much for "free will".
So, its "poetic" when you like, and literal when you like. correct?
And to think ... you guys' bologna started way back here at Post #4:So, its "poetic" when you like, and literal when you like. correct?
Don't tell me the Inquisition isn't dead ... it just went from scroll to clipboard.And yet God didn't provide any documentation as to what a Planet is.
Or did Adam forget to write that down in English?

I thank God for the first ten amendments to our Constitution.
