      Bats are birds, as per the Bible. Donkeys talk, as per the Bible. Slave owning is cool as long as you don’t beat them to death, as per the Bible.

      There’s plenty of stuff in the Bible that’s utter garbage.

            Leviticus 11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

            2 Peter 2:16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.

            This is a miracle, not a statement that donkeys speak (literally SPEECHLESS DONKEY)

            Numbers 22:28 The LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

            Again, A MIRACLE

            Exodus 20:20 Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”

              The entire Bible should clearly be disregarded over the whole bird thing. Unless of courses you are seriously telling me that the ancient hebrews didn’t use our western classification systems for animals, but that would just be ludicrous.

                Did god write it, or not? Why intentionally leave in any confusing mistakes? He must not be all-powerful.

                    I was thinking of 2 Timothy 3:

                    16 Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, 17 that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
