One more mistake in Bible?

Question

It is mentioned in the Book of Leviticus,
Chapter No.11, Verse No.20… ‘Among the abomination things, fowls with four feet -
They are an abomination.’ And some scholars say that ‘fowl’ is a wrong translation of the
Hebrew word ‘uff.’ In King James, it should be ‘insect’ or ‘winged creature.’ And in New
International Version, it says… ‘Winged creature.’ But it says… ‘All insects which are four footed, are an abomination - They are detestful for you.’ I want to ask … ‘Which insects have got four feet?’ Even a student, who has passed
elementary school, knows that insects have got 6 feet. There is no bird in the world,
there is no foul in the world, there is no insect in the worlds, which have got four feet.

Answer 1

Bible and Torah are not completely the words of God , They were changed so there are mistakes in them.That is why Allah Subhan Wa Taala (God) revealed his final book The Holy Quran to Prophet Muhammed which contains no mistakes and contradictions

Answer 2

The Bible calls the wings feet

"flying creeping thing that goes upon all four, which have legs above their feet"

"that goes upon all four" - goes on the wings and goes on the feet

Also, the legs above their 4 feet could be the 6 legged insects

The dragon and the flying horse and whatever dinosaur with 4 legs that flew and walked. Many extinct animals since creation.

Africa has over 45 extinct birds that we know about of which the dodo bird is one of them. God made birds exactly as He described in His Word. Just because you don't know about them doesn't make it not true.

Answer 3

My father-in-law used to talk about knowing of a place where they had four legged chickens, but I always suspected he was pulling my leg. Archaeopteryx had something like four feet (claws on its wings), but they were probably all long extinct before anyone picked up a quill to start penning a word of the Bible. You are right, nearly all insects do have 6 legs (maybe all of them).

Answer 4

Ok , since you are looking for Contradictions, then I will answer them one at a time and shoot everyone down, one at a time until you are exhausted.

Lev 11:20 "creep on all fours" is an idiom for crawling on the ground, as insects do on their six legs.

many insects move about in filth and eat refuse.
Their association with death and impurity and disorder made them unclean.

CONTEXT Context, you must understand context.

Answer 5

"All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you."

It doesn't say that any insects have four feet, but rather says that those insects that "go upon" (i.e., walk or move) on four feet are an abomination.

Answer 6

Lev 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
right so if you see one leave it along because it abomination but it could be spirtuality

Answer 7

We have answered this before, in the Bible it says who "leaps" on their four feet. Meaning it is the way they are using their legs.
I think it is funny so many people try to look for error in the Bible, when it all comes down to just understanding the word of God, and without the Holy Spirit, one cannot understand the things they think are error.

Answer 8

If I'm not mistaken the reason they are called abomination is that they were differant , I have to double check this , but I remember learning this at a young age .

Answer 9

Caution people, caution. Remember that there is a God, or supreme entity of some sort. I will use God because it's shorter and I will refer to this God as he because it's simpler.

God is real, you will die. When you die you will find out some truth. The God who sent an offering for your wrong obviously cares deeply for you. This offering was sent without prejudice, for all people. Simple. Try not to make this follow your rules, it will only complicate things. Simple. Trust the God who obviously cares for you. Believe what He did. Simple.

Answer 10

I think this is a possible four legged winged creature if it was around at the time of the writing of Leviticus.

Answer 11

in the book of Leviticus you also find the description of Dinosaurs and large beasts there is proof they excised...why couldn't there been 4 legged birds or insects back then??
