What’s with the rabbit

…and his pile of poop?

 

Leviticus 11:6 says:

“…the hare…cheweth the cud…”

 

If you are a theologian you call it poop.

If you are a Bible believer you call it cud.

 

Theology is a product of Greek Reason – also called rationalism, humanism, philosophy, the scientific method, etc. Reason says we should live by sight not by faith. Early theologians Reasoned that if the Bible is true it’ll stand up to scientific scrutiny, even though scientific scrutiny is based on a “secular search for unbiased (!) truth.” Liberal theologians quickly concluded that the Bible isn’t pure truth...because “science” could find no proof for things like Noah’s flood, miracles, sin, and hell. But conservative theologians couldn’t use the above to “prove” the preserved, inerrant word of God doesn’t exist, they had to find other Biblical “errors” to convince the church that Christianity should be dependent upon theology rather than Bible study.

 

Bible study only loses relevance if God has not preserved His inerrant word for us – because it’s a waste of time studying something you cannot trust. Therefore, in order to replace Bible study with theology, provable errors had to be found in:

 

1. The old Greek and Hebrew manuscripts (the Alexandrian and the Textus Receptus manuscripts).

 

2. The modern Bible versions (NASV, NIV, RSV, NWT, NKJV, etc).

 

3.  The King James Bible.

 

The first two groups were easily disqualified as God’s word because they say:

 

● Elhanan is the one who killed Goliath (2 Sam 21:19).

 

● Christ was a sinner (cp. Matt 5:22 with Mark 3:5).

 

● Mark 1:2,3 is factually wrong.

 

● Christ was a liar (cp. John 7:8 with John 7:10).

 

● And other errors detailed in Chapter D22 on the Bible version issue.

 

But the errors in the first two groups weren’t enough to discredit Bible study because their corruption merely highlighted the apparent inerrancy of the Authorized 1611 King James Bible…because it not only has none of the errors of the first two groups, it has no provable errors of any kind! Christians therefore had long used its inerrancy-based authority to overrule the unscriptural findings of theologians. Theologians hate it when Bible believers who think God’s word exists quote “thus saith the Lord”, because that emphasizes the fact that theology isn’t Bible-based. So it was important to theologians to find, somewhere, anywhere, an error in the KJV. Besides, their old brain-dead throwaway line about the KJV – that they had trouble understanding all the thees and thous – made them look like infantile, impotent whiners who couldn’t handle fourth-grade reading material. They desperately needed something concrete.

 

Then they found it (they thought): Leviticus 11:6. Rabbits most certainly do not (they incorrectly thought up until just a few years ago) chew their cuds; they don’t even have cuds! Now theologians finally – for the first time in history – had a “provable error” in the KJV…which meant we really did need theology to find God’s truth for us because we sure couldn’t trust Bible study!

 

Note: When the Leviticus 11:6 “error” was found, it affected only the KJV…even though all versions and manuscripts say rabbits chew their cuds. Why only the KJV? Because the first two groups (old manuscripts and the modern versions made from them) had already been disqualified as Scripture by the more glaring errors above. Therefore the only practical significance of the Lev 11:6 “error” was in the fact that it seemed to prove the KJV was not God’s inerrant truth.

 

But He that sitteth in the heavens used the “foolish things of the world” to confound the “wise”: Rabbits were observed eating their poop! Research revealed that rabbits poop their cud rather than regurgitate it like sheep, goats, and cows!

 

All of a sudden theology was back to square one. All of a sudden theology’s official position that the inspired, inerrant word of God no longer exists was again baseless. All of a sudden Bible believers who said “thus saith the Lord: rabbits chew their cuds” were RIGHT; and theologians who said, “uh, this word cud is an unfortunate rendering…it should say rabbits chew their fingernails” (!) were not only WRONG, they were embarrassed, disgraced, and discredited.

 

But the theological lie that the inspired, inerrant word of God no longer exists has been around long enough, and many Christians have become so programmed to lazily base their doctrines on the findings of theologians, that many preachers and pewsters no longer know the following facts:

 

● The “original autographs”, the “original” Greek and Hebrew texts, and even reliable copies of the originals don’t exist!  All of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts we’ve ever found contain the above errors – and more.

 

 

● The only book or manuscript on earth that meets God’s own qualification for His Holy Bible, inerrancy, is the King James Bible. It really is the milk and meat, indeed – the cud, that God has given us to eat.

 

● God’s word teaches that we’ll know His Holy Bible by its fruit: inerrancy=the KJV. But theology says even though we’ll never get to know His inerrant truth by poring over the roots of old known-to-be-corrupt manuscripts…we should do it anyway!

 

● That’ s why modern Bible versions, which were made from the above corrupt manuscripts by root-seeking cud-rejecting theologians, have the same errors the corrupt manuscripts have. The modern versions really are faithful translations of corrupt manuscripts!

 

● Not long after the KJV came out, Christians noticed it had the unique inhuman quality of inerrancy, and writings began appearing in the 1700s rejoicing over the fact that God really has somehow preserved His word for His faithful church.

 

● If the KJV did not exist there wouldn’t be any of God’s people on earth who think His inspired, inerrant Bible really does exist today. Everybody would be forced into accepting theology’s re-definition of God’s Holy Bible: “A human book/version that will never be God’s inerrant truth no matter how many Bible translators pay to attend theology school.”

 

● That’s the reason behind THE THEOLOGIANS’ JOKE: “What do we call the common belief that God failed to preserve His inerrant word for us today? JOB SECURITY!”

 

But it’s no joke: The sad fact is most Christians are taught to with their lips say the inerrant word of God exists, but in practice to demonstrate unbelief by constantly submitting the words in God’s Book to theological books by man for verification or correction!! But as theology’s rabbit cud disaster shows, it is not only inexcusable to exalt theology over Bible study, it is blasphemy against God and His word to do so. Theology’s continued existence (after the KJV’s inerrancy was verified) reveals theology to be a haven for wolves who, in spite of the telling fact that they do not believe God preserved His word, want to cling to “respectability” by cloaking their unbelief with theology, which is something only those who don’t believe in the existence of God’s word think is respectable!

 

Because of the above irrefutable facts, theology-worshipping Christians will ignore the inerrancy of the KJV and try to sidetrack you with red herrings such as (theological rhetoric in yellow):

 

● “What a clever attempt to explain away all the errors in the Textus Receptus.” Rebuttal: The errors in the TR and all of the other manuscripts have been reproduced in the modern versions, which is why neither you nor anybody else thinks the modern theology-produced versions are God’s word as He defines it. We focus on the fact that the only Book on earth nobody has ever found errors in is the KJV. So quit trying to dodge the issue of the KJV’s inerrancy by talking about the corrupt TR; let’s rejoice over the amazing inerrancy of God’s word.

 

● “You poor fool; you must not know there have been a number of editions of the KJV: when it first came out in 1611 it had all kinds of printing and editing errors, and the several editions were corrections of those human errors. Therefore the KJV shouldn’t be trusted and believed today…because it used to have errors. You should trust and believe us theologians; we’ll tell you what to believe.” Rebuttal: The Bible says God’s perfect word is available to us today. Because you don’t have the faith to believe Him, and because you can’t find errors in the KJV, and because you aren’t forthright enough to admit that differences are not the same as errors, you are forced to stoop to exaggerations and half-truths – such as the so-called “editions” of the KJV. You and I have never seen those early editions of the KJV that corrected human printing errors, and people don’t use them. But anybody can go to any bookstore and buy a KJV and publicly embarrass you by handing it to you and forcing you to stick to the point by asking you to point out a single provable error. And – like all other theology-worshipping children of pride whose main preoccupation is saving face – you’ll predictably and boringly attempt to avoid the crux of the matter, inerrancy, by pointing out differences (not errors) between the inerrant KJV and the corrupt manuscripts…as in the following example:

 

● “The best manuscripts say Elhanan killed Goliath, but the dopey KJV says Elhanan killed Goliath’s brother! What a horrible job the King James translators did! Therefore the KJV is not the word of God!” Rebuttal: Shame on you for not only trying to get us to stop glorifying God for preserving His holy word, but for actually trying to use the KJV’s unique inerrancy as some kind of twisted proof that it isn’t God’s word! I say again, truths in the KJV cannot be made untruths just because they aren’t “in agreement” with the errors in the old manuscripts!

 

Because God is (because He exists), and because He has defined His holy word as preserved inerrancy, we by faith know His word is (it exists). And we shall know His word by its fruit – inerrancy. In other words, when faithful Christians find a book with no errors they happily accept it as God’s word…and they quickly discard all of the other manuscripts and versions whose errors are obvious proofs that they should be used as kitty litter.

 

Balaam’s ass (2 Peter 2:16) and the rabbit

represent faithful believers who have ears that hear.

 

Bible believers view the pile of rabbit cud

as a reminder that God’s word really is inspired and inerrant.

 

However, theologians who deny the modern existence

of the inspired, infallible word of God think it’s just a pile of shit.

 

In sum: It’s not about the rabbit or its cud:

It’s about the living word of the living God.

 

2 Cor 2:19-28: For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea.

Let them that have ears that hear, hear.
