There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other winged creatures that have four legs you are to detest. While some would see this as a scientific error, J.P.

(Jim Merrit) Table of Contents Introduction to Contradictions Contradictions References Introduction to Contradictions The Bible is riddled with repetitions and contradictions, things that the Bible bangers would be quick to point out in anything that they want to criticize.
