Bats are birds, not mammals. Here's the proof. -

The following Scripture passage has presented a stumbling block for liberal false Christians who insist in interpreting Scripture rather than trusting the Almighty to express Himself clearly:
Lev. 11:13-19: And these [are they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; Every raven after his kind; And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
It's pretty hard to read this passage and not understand that God identifies a bat as a kind of fowl, but that doesn't stop the fluffy bunnies from twisting Scripture to conform to secular science. Their argument is that the Hebrew word עֹוף, translated as "fowls," actually means any kind of flying thing, including flying mammals.
We can easily disprove such nonsense by letting Scripture interpret Scripture. God, speaking through the inspired author, describes the creation of the fowl and the beasts:
Genesis 1:20-25: And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
Note that in both the Hebrew and the proper Jacobean English, the two passages use the same word "fowl" (עֹוף). That is, the two passages are talking about the same thing; otherwise, they would have used different words.
In Genesis, the fowl are taught as having been created as a separate creation from the beasts, a day before the creation of the beasts. Since Leviticus unambiguously identifies bats as fowls, this shows that bats are part of the separate creation from beasts. Thus, the Bible, when given its clear meaning, demonstrates that bats are birds, not mammals.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.

Just because scientists changed the meaning of the word "bird" when they started their conspiracy to undermine God proves nothing.

12But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14And every raven after his kind,
15And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

More proof that sickular "scientists" just don't follow basic common sense. Why would they define bats as mammals, when the Bible clearly calls them birds, unless it's to undermine God?
