24  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
[b][color=green]The kingdom of heaven is likened[/color][/b] unto a man which [b][color=green]sowed good seed[/color][/b] in his field:
25  But while men slept, his enemy came
and [b][color=red]sowed tares[/color][/b] among the wheat, and went his way.[/quote]

[font="Times"]Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
[b][color=green]The kingdom of heaven is like[/color][/b] to a grain of mustard seed,
which a man took, [b][color=green]and sowed in his field[/color][/b]:
32  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,
it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree,
so that [b][color=red]the birds[/color][/b] of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.[/font]

And do you have a point?

[Kilroy the Ninja]

is this about not eating birds 'cause thanksgiving is coming up... and I like turkey.

[Guest Aluigi]

yay for scripture...

but we've all read all that before, if that's meant to make a debatable point you're gong to have to elaborate (cuz we Catholics agree with all Scripture says)

There are Good Birds and there are Bad Birds
the clean and the unclean

[quote]~{Matt 24:28}~
28   For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.

~{Luke 17:37}~
And he said unto them,
Wheresoever the body is,
thither will the eagles be gathered together.

~{Rev.18:2}~
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils,
and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

~{Psalms 94:21}~
21   They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.[/quote]

You can make the Bible say anything if you try hard enough.

[Kilroy the Ninja]

You know, it's Don John's contention that all birds, even the smallest, would kill people if they thought they could get away with it.

He really doesn't like birds.

[cmotherofpirl]

No wonder the canary looks at me funny....

[God Conquers]

I would agree with that presumption.

I fear that if they ever overcame their natural disadvantage (no opposable thumbs) that they would quickly use their natural advantage (flight) to their advantage in worldwide species conflict over stewardship of the earth.

They also don't like our singing.

[cmotherofpirl]

O my!
Not I'm starting to worry about my cats and dogs

[God Conquers]

They don't have a chance.....

[Mateo el Feo]

My pond had six healthy koi last month. Now, it has three healthy (albeit scared) koi.

To me, there's no question:bad birds exist, and they are living in my community.

Ooh ... sounds like that Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds"! Better be careful or the crows and gulls will attack us! :ph34r:
